Snapper

@abigail-m The Snow Warrior is a really interesting title! What’s the premise?

@kathleenramm Thank you! The blurb is this:

Dragon ink allows writers to set history in stone—or to change it.

Duyên Lai’s dreams are realized when she’s admitted into the ranks of the calligraphers, authors considered trustworthy enough to defend time from those who would change it. She’s thrilled at the opportunity to record her country’…

@issawriter7

Awww, thanks! Your glittery pom-poms and motivational chocolate are making me even more determined to achieve my goals. *Shakes fist in new-found determaination*

Getting a publisher/agent and writing sequels is so cool! Have you published a book before or is this your first? My cartwheels are a little rusty, but I’ll be here to…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver Happy to help. 🙂

I chose it largely for the freedom it provides. In the beginning, especially freedom as far as a release timeline goes. I didn’t have to wait to hook an agent, which was important to me then as a young author wanting to get started and is important to me now as an author who wants to share my work without having to…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Lennox, Hathach, Roan…

Who is most likely to become internet famous?

@e-k-seaver First of all, yay! Self-publishing is awesome. XD (So is traditional publishing, I just personally think self-publishing is more fun.)

Second… I feel like I need more specifics as to what info you’re looking for. I love answering questions about self-publishing, but there’s a lot to cover. If you want a place to start, though, I can…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920 Oh, that’s a thought! I originally wanted there to be a plot point with each of the kids in the class, but I suppose it might be better to have some of them be background furniture. I’ll have to think over this more; thanks for your input!

@joy-caroline Probably Adriane. Or Collin. Or Nahum. Or all of them. (Nahum because he doesn’t know how to use his phone, probably.)

Who’s most likely to stay inside all day?

Calloway.

@joy-caroline Mr. Anderson, Pryce’s dad, by accident invited his son’s “murderer” to dinner. So yes, there you have it.

Who would be most likely to forget their childhood friends?

@issawriter7 It could be something completely different! Anything is fine 🙂

I’ll start, I guess.

The Meadow of Spring

Behold what appears to be a fresh spring meadow, dotted with flowers. It’s a nice place to spend the day, though most don’t stay long, as after dark, it starts to feel cold…

Someone once said she saw spirits there, but no one believed her.

Some say that the trail of red flowers is left over from…[Read more]

@kayleigh-idea Ooh, nice, that’s great!

@joy-caroline Zedek, probably.

Who is most likely to enjoy talking on the phone more than texting?

@issawriter7 Nice! I’m not gonna be writing now, but we could probably use this as a sprinting thread or something! Good luck!

The main thing is to have completely finished all of the edits on my novel Calligraphy Guild and be able to focus entirely on marketing it for several months before publishing it in the summer of next year.

I also would kind of like to publish at least one short story collection set in the same world, because I love this world and I need to get…[Read more]

@gracie-j Congratulations! That’s awesome! 😀

I’ve taken this week off from CG, but in the meantime I revised a short story so I can work with an illustrator on it! It’s nothing super fancy, I’ll just be working with the daughter of one of my mom’s friends, but I think it’ll be a lot of fun and a cool learning experience! And the short story is…[Read more]

@william-starkey Something on how you build languages and how they reflect the cultures they’re attached to would be awesome, if you have the time. 🙂

(BTW, totally random question but some of the books you’ve added on Goodreads made me curious: Are you Calvinist?)

@kayleigh-idea Combining both stories! I’d love to hear more about it!

Ooh, musicals and singing! That sounds really fun!

I tend to write crime, fantasy, slice of life…all three…Here is a quick synopsis of one of my WIPs:

(*spins the wheel of WIPs* Everybody gets to hear a different one of mine, lol. Oh, and it looks like we’ve landed on Tho…[Read more]

@issawriter7 Hathach. If chocolate’s all he has to eat, of course. He’ll eat anything.

@joy-caroline Samuel. I was trying to remember which of my characters is a cleanaholic…not him, but he’s close enough.

@issawriter7 Probably Emily.

Which one of your characters would have a lot of fears?
