@avacoulter Oo, interesting! Dystopian stories are always fun.

One of my current projects is about a guy named Joey who works at an antique store, time, wings, existence, and memory. It’s a weird kind of story so I feel like a premise wouldn’t encapsulate it enough. It’s basically inspired by things and people I saw throughout summer.

@avacoulter

Ah, Wingfeather. I have finished the series and I love it, especially the end. There is so much under the surface in those books, so many deeper meanings. I am also a tad bit of an aspiring poet which thrills over Peterson’s well written verse.

My mother prefers the licorice one. Me, they’re one of the worst regular flavors of…[Read more]

@avacoulter Hm, I’ve written so many, it’s hard to choose a favorite, haha. Do you have a premise for your current WIP?

@trahia-the-minstrel

It is confusing. But somewhere I heard that apparently if your book is set in some other world it atomaticaly becomes Fantasy. Whether or not that is true, it was helpful, at least to this beginning writer.

I don’t have anything against the type of magic in Narnia and Wingfeather, where ‘magic’ really just means God’s power…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel. @elishavet-pidyon

The Horse and His Boy is my favorite Narnia book! That and the end of The Last Battle. Ah, the Hermit…

Oh my. Yes, I have considered putting an end to my writing endeavors. I have considered deleting/incinerating all my existing work. I still struggle over if being a published author is part of His plan for my life.

But the stories keep growing, deepening, branching out, untill they spill out in some form of other. I’ve tried to smother them, put…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel
Ah yes, I write somewhere in that vague genre of medieval fantasy. Do you include magic or not? I honestly didn’t think I was in the afore mentioned genre as there is none in my books. But lo and behold, I am somewhere in there alright.

@avacoulter

Hello! I’m a homeschooler as well. I have recently (sometime during the last six months) found the Wingfeathers. I write medeaval fantasy, historical fiction, and Poetry.

Your WIP sounds interesting. I haven’t read any dystopian, and the only true Scifi book I have read was Thorny Twins. =] My brother has read some of both.

So, do…[Read more]

@avacoulter Fair, fair, haha. Any favorite stories you’ve written so far?

@avacoulter Hoi, welcome! I’m Lin, always dabbling in a variety genres, like crime/fantasy and other things.

It’s been so long since I’ve commented on any of the intro threads, haha. Anything in particular you wish to share?

@power That makes a tad more sense… No need to rephrase it again, people reading this thread will understand.

I suppose I am best at writing emotional snippets, usually quite sad and dreamlike. Not sure, though. Not many people have read them.

@power Bold of you to assume that I can’t both be a writer and a brontosaurus.

As for what I excel at, I can’t exactly tell you. The way your question is phrased raises a lot of questions in me. Why, what kind of writing do you excel at?

@kathleenramm Nope, only taken breaks. Because at this point I’ve invested too much time in it to stop.

Oh, I forgot to mention this is in a different world. (A little important, just a little.)

The Lady Sapphire

In 672 a ship containing military and political secrets goes down in a storm. Most of the people on board escaped, including the captain, his wife, and their daughter (Wynfred). But the Lady Sapphire is lost beneath the waves, taking with her the keys to a kingdom.

The year is 821, and the country is on the…[Read more]

@anatra23

YESS!!! I had actually watched two before number one, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen it, so I DEFINITELY need to do a re-watch too.

There’s only one book I completely ditched (As in, although I had figured out most of the plot, I stopped writing and will most likely not restart.).

I called it The Lady Saphire, after the ship wreak the whole book revolves around. It wasn’t a bad storyline, it probably had a lot of potential, but lacked purpose. It was deleted when the c…[Read more]

@kathleenramm My second short story I was going to start. It was going to be about characters in a story who were going to be fighting these monsters at the end of the world, but they were kind of like actors in a movie setup with the Narrator as the director. The story would alternate between them inside the Story and their lives outside of the…[Read more]

What I like about the first book?

1. The writing style. It reminded me of classics; something I can’t find enough of.
2. The antics. Sure some of the cliches got to me, but they were well written ones. Besides, a cliche is only an overused good tactic.
3. The characters. Their troubles were relatable and not overdone. Some of Janner’s mistakes…

@daisy-torres Aye, I’ve heard both good and bad things about Wattpad, and I feel like the stuff I write doesn’t fit into the romance vibe of it, so for now I’m hopefully going to be sticking with Webnovel and Tapas. I’m glad you had a good experience with it though.
