It sounds like you have a good understanding of where lines need to be drawn in your own fiction! That’s an important understanding to have, and I’m glad you’re holding to that. 🙂

I was actually thinking about Calligraphy Guild (among other things) for parts of this conversation. XD The primary main character and her love interest…[Read more]

No, I actually completely agree with you on content levels. That’s something I’m quite passionate about; explicit adult content (of any level of description; I do think such topics can be alluded to for edifying ends) should not be put in the YA section. It’s a stumbling block and it’s inappropriate. But I don’t think that more mature…[Read more]

I’m going to disagree with this point, actually. I think that 1) if your characters carry through a series that begins with them at a certain age, your readers will follow them through that and may even go through that growth with the characters. Take Harry Potter, for example. I’m not a fan of HP, personally, but plenty of kids “grew up with”…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I thought it was going to be more of a struggle between whether or not androids and humans have a difference and what it means to kill one… It took more of a 1984 direction, hhhh…

@keilah-h

Haha, yeah, I can relate. But the stranger the story the more fun it is to write right?

Do you have a favorite of all the strange stories you’ve written?

@sparrowhawke

That does sound like an really strange, but interesting book, haha.

My siblings and I often joke about certain things we have, do, or say that could be taken way out…[Read more]

@keilah-h Oh, it’s very good. Of course, it does require an acquired taste, but I love it a lot.

@daisy-torres Ey, kind of late but that’s really exciting! Love the dancing.

@kathleenramm I’m not sure if I’ve ever read something and thought, “That was strange.” But if I had to choose one I would choose Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? I was pretty confused throughout it, haha. I like it ok, but definitely not my favorite. Fahrenheit 451 all the way. Also, the way I read the synopsis and the way I thought that t…[Read more]

Me: I want to write a five part series. Let me come up with enough plot to fill it.

Also me: This plot idea feels like it’s gonna be a three part series.

That’s basically it haha. Depends on how much plot idea you have.

Basically what @elfwing said. If there’s more story to be told than can reasonably be done in one book, it ought to be a series. I had one planned standalone that ended up turning into a duology because a whole additional plot showed up, as a background thing in the first book but begging to be the focal point of a sequel

I’ve had other series…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl
OH MY WORD THAT’S SO EXCITING! 😀 Congrats!

@jodi-maile So sorry for being late, but I completely relate to you about the tone struggles, since I’m having them for one of my current works. I guess what I would say is either:

a) leave it alone for a very long time and start anew or something at some point

b) finish it, decide what you like or don’t like about it, and restart

c) leave it…[Read more]

It took the form of a small cute kitten. Mirabelle, of course, awwed and ran over, picking it up before I could stop her.

Mirabelle crossed her arms “Wait, let me get this straight; your double ganger was blackmailing you and you were appeasing him with Chipotle?”

Milo’s double ganger’s smile widened “Yo, your sister is smart lol.”

“She’s ten, of course she’s smart; have you never met a ten year old before?”
