Hey everyone! Apologies for how long the reply took.

Hey Lexi! Nice to meet you!

My favorite genre to write in is fantasy.

I’ve been making stories from an early age, and trying to write a novel since 2015.

My favorite novels are often parts of series, so I…[Read more]

Oh, wow. What kind of car was that? If you do end up writing this into a story I bet you could make up some really cool explanation, like… alien car, fairy car, super-high-tech-rich-guy’s car, I don’t know. XD

But I can imagine it being a really fun scene.

@lewilliams

Haha! It would would be really fun to write about a…[Read more]

@nanisnook

Nice to meet you too!

@devastate-lasting

Favs… LOTR: Gandalf, Hunger Games: Johanna, and Star Wars: Darth Vader… or maybe R2?

@kathleenramm

The first time I remember writing a story was when I was… idk, 6? To be clear tho, my writing habits were extremely sporadic until I turned 13 a few years ago. I don’t know if I even could…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting I’d love to answer your questions!

My current WIP is about a girl who falls into a coma after a bad accident and wakes up in the Unconscious Place. The place where people go when they’re…unconscious. It’s about her adventure to escape the Unconscious Place and wake up. (not a great cover copy, but you get the gist lol)

@devastate-lasting  Thanks for the advice and encouragement! It would be pretty easy to fix the plot holes some other way, but I do like how my idea pulls seemingly unrelated things together.

@devastate-lasting

Love les miserables – ofc the musical but the book is amazing. Can’t go wrong with Austen, and I love the Odyssey, Illiad… yeah I love a lot lol.

Heheheh *deep breath* lotr (of course), Narnia, Marvel (Lokiiii), The Silver Eye (webcomic, little known but amazing), the Hunger Games (Am I the only one who NOTP’s Everlark?),…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Thank you! I’ll definitely remember that.

@lydia-s Hello!

Oh, that sounds awesome! I adore Jane Austen and retellings are so cool. That does sound like fun!

To answer your questions:

1. Elizabeth Bennet. Lizzie forever! 🙂

2. I have no idea! *pauses to think* Probably Leah or Hannah. Or Abigail. But I really like my name!…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Hello and nice to meet you!

1. It’s about a girl – Eva – whose father has tuberculosis and whose mother is looking for a job. Eva finds a young hobo named Charlie and she tries to get her family to help him. Yikes, that doesn’t sound very interesting! (I certainly hope it is. But as it’s my fault I don’t have a nicer blurb, I…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Oh boy. Not sure how to summarize my lengthy plot line. ;P The main gist of the book is that there are four siblings growing up in America who discover, after their only surviving parent dies, that their parents fled to America from a different world (and yes, they had a reasonable way to do this but it would take way too long…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Hi! I’m currently about halfway through writing a fantasy novel. As for movies, I like the three Chronicles of Narnia ones and How to Train Your Dragon I, II, and III. I like pretty much any music that is epic (like movie themes) and doesn’t have words. Besides writing, I enjoy reading, photography, being outside, spending…[Read more]

For some reason, I feel like I’m getting a better idea of who your guys’ character more from these three questions than most character questionnaire sheets, haha.  XD

@seekjustice

I’ve never been particularly interested in books  about werewolves, but after reading you character descriptions, that may be changing…

@elfwing Nope you’re not weird. It helps me too. XD Thanks so much for the advice, it was super helpful!

@jenwriter17 Thanks so much! Those articles helped a lot. I definitely tell myself those lies on a regular basis, and it helps to know that someone else struggles with them too.

@gracie-j Thank you!! Reading my favorite thing that I’ve wri…[Read more]
