I’m glad I could help :))

@charisetter

I do have two projects I’m  currently working on. One is a dystopian about triplets with powers and the other is a darkish?? fantasy about redemption.

My favorite genre to read and write in is, yes you guessed it, fantasy.

@hobbitchild

My parents use “…” all the time when they text or email me. XD Not really related, but I thought it was a funny coincidence.

The mind mapping tactic is something that I have learned just recently. I used to write SUPER detailed outlines of my novels, but then I would get so invested into the main character’s POV that they would…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

Welcome to the forum!

*tips fancy hat in regard*

Hhmmmm… What should I ask…

What is your favorite genre to read in?

Have you written many novels or are you just starting out?

Where do you live? (If your fine sharing)

When did you start writing and what made you start?

And most importantly… What is your opinion on…[Read more]

@hobbitchild

Yay! I just downloaded it and can’t wait to start reading.

However, it may take me awhile to finish since I’m reading more books than anyone should be reading at a given moment. XD

Congrats again! You inspire me to start typing away at my novel and finish it!

@morwen

Bennett is MUCH better than Barrett. The more I think about the name Bennett the more I like it.

Not 100% If the name will be the finale choice, (I might want a more modern sounding name), but it’s definitely an upgrade from Barrett. Thanks!

J. R. R. Tolkien. No doubt about it.

Awesome!!!!

@kathleenramm I’ve been rereading The Lord of the Rings and I love it. I’m not so big a fan of The Hobbit or The Silmarillion (I found the former a little boring and the latter just complex and long, though I still appreciate them for their craftsmanship and stories), and I haven’t read much of his other work yet. But I love The Lord of the Rings. ^-^

@hobbitchild

Yes Focus on the Family did a great job with those! I’ve read the books at least twice, but listened to the audio drama countless times. XD

@devastate-lasting

Some of the best books are the ones that change  the way you write. (Except for the awful books that teach you how NOT to write.) I too love it when I read amazing piece of…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Yes! Bradbury’s prose is amazing! I remember reading the first paragraph of Fahrenheit 451 and immediately pausing in awe because the fire motif was so strong already.

I’d choose Tolkien, though. His worldbuilding, his language-building, his characters and character relationships and focus on ordinary people… I would just…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Definitely, definitely Ray Bradbury. Ever since I read Fahrenheit 451 I have learned how to spell Fahrenheit and have fallen in love with his prose. Every time I write after I read his work I am just filled with something that possess my hand to write long descriptive sentences.

@michelle Sweet 😀

Do you think it’s publishable? Definitely!

Does it keep your interest? Yep! My only minor suggestion would be to make the rats pop up a little more in the story. They’re kind of just in there for the first chapter and then never mentioned again, which to me felt kinda awkward … but that might just be me being overly picky…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I was thinking of Byron or Bennett, depending on what sort of charrie he is. Byron would go for a fancier type, while Bennett is more similar to Barrett.

Ok, you guys definitely beat me on the writing age XD

@michelle Hey! I finished your book; it was really sweet! Quick question: where do you want me to answer the feedback questions? On here, or on the book doc itself in the comments or something?

@seekjustice

Ooooh, that is a cool genre. Do you have a favorite literary fiction book?

@merieshenanigans

Yes, the struggle for creative writers. We want to stick to being creative and just create new worlds, stories, and characters, and avoid the research aspect like the plague.XD

Ooooh I love stories taking place in ancient Rome! I’ve only…[Read more]

@hobbitchild

Although I like trying out a lot of different time periods, present day is my favorite.

Mainly because I obviously know that time period the best, so it’s easier to write the world and characters. It’s also easier to put myself in the characters shoes since their life isn’t drastically different from mine. But whenever I do write in…[Read more]

@alia

Ah no! I thought I tagged you!

Fair, fair. That’s a hideous time to be up by 😀
