I just got the book from the library! Looking forward to reading it.

@nova21 I really out of touch with poetry right now, so I can’t really say much, but I liked it a lot!

@nova21

Oof, yes. XD I know those characters far too well.  Have you ever read a book with a character that you had a sneaking suspicion was the author’s favorite character? I feel like the try-hard comic relief characters are often those characters, but since the author likes the character so much they’re oblivious to it. XD Not sure if you’ve c…[Read more]

@gracie-j I thought it was super sad ahh. Every time I flipped the page it just got worse and worse…but it was written really well and I enjoyed it a lot.

Merry Christmas to you as well!

@gracie-j I just wanted to let you know I finally finished Gone With the Wind.

I-I can’t think right now. I’ll sort my thoughts out tomorrow ahhh.

@nova21

I think what you mentioned right there is the epitome of writing. Most likely all writers at one point or another write about situations we have no experience ever doing but write about it as if we did it just that morning. XD And it’s totally prevalent when writing banter between two characters wholly different from you. Their…[Read more]

@gracie-j Ahhh, gotcha. That makes some sense.

Hm. I personally love both the movies and the books. But, as always, the books are better. ;D

*nods* That also sounds like a pretty good approach. 🙂

@devastate-lasting

Is it bad that I’ve never written romance in any form before? I love creating deep, meaningful, and complicated relationships, but never romance. Probably because I don’t read romance often, and I’m only seventeen so romance isn’t something I think about, like, ever. XD

But I can see how writing romance would be difficult.…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

That’s quite hard for me to answer! Death scenes are hard for me to write emotionally speaking, especially as someone who has had two very beloved family members die traumatically. It’s just hard for me to treat them as blase as I used to when I was a younger writer and I struggle with them quite a lot.

More mentally though, stupid…[Read more]

@gracie-j I don’t remember which one I preferred, out of the two. I really need to reread them, lol. I think I read them… prior to keeping track of my reading, it looks like, so at least four years ago.

I didn’t watch a whole lot of Disney princess movies growing up. I watched a lot of other Disney movies, but the princesses weren’t a big…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Honestly, every scene I write is difficult once it starts to lag. So then I usually toss in a new character or yet another fight scene, or most of the time, both. But in general, uh, romantic scenes are probably the biggest struggle for me. Which is probably why there has been an extreme lack of romance in everything that I’ve…[Read more]

@seekjustice I wrote a post and then when I edited it it vanished. O-o

My mom was really careful when I was little about anything that featured daughters rebelling against their dads. She didn’t let me watch The Little Mermaid for the same reason (which I don’t mind; I’m not a fan of Ariel now that I have watched the movie, lol). Once I was a…[Read more]

@seekjustice My mom was really careful when I was younger about things that featured daughters rebelling against their dads. I wasn’t allowed to watch The Little Mermaid for the same reason (which I don’t mind; I’m not a huge fan of Ariel now that I have watched the movie, lol). Once I was a little older (10-12-ish, maybe?) she thought I’d be…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

I’m around too if you ever want to drop me a line 😀 We sound like we’re at pretty similar stages in writing. I started writing when I was ten or eleven but I’ve been writing seriously (for me, that means with the goal of being traditionally published) since I was about sixteen, so almost five years now working towards being…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Why The Horse and His Boy?? I am remarkably curious. I didn’t really grow up sheltered at all, so when my more conservative friends (this happens to me in real life just as much as on the internet) say they weren’t able to read/watch certain things I get confused 😀

@gracie-j That seems like a strange divide. I wasn’t allowed to read The Horse and His Boy for several years, but that was the only Narnia book I wasn’t allowed to read.

Yes! I’ve read his Cooper Kids series (4-6 are my favorites; I’ve reread 5 many times) and his This Present Darkness books. I’ve been meaning to reread This Present Darkness for…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Probably not…sorry. I’m busy filling out stuff and studying for finals.
