Faith Q. started the topic Me idea in the forum Plotting 4 years, 2 months ago
Okay, so last night I got this amazing idea. At least I think it sounds amazing. But my problem is, it also sounds a bit cliche.
The problem is, I don’t get out much. Honestly, I’m pretty picky about what I read, so modern secular works are very rarely added to the list, and I am pretty clueless about what’s actually on the shelves. I know I…[Read more]

Autumn Rebecca started the topic The Hope That Remains Despite Illnesses in the forum Poetry Critiques 4 years, 2 months ago
Hola! I need a little help with this poem. I want to post it on my blog, but I want to make sure that it is good enough. Do the rhymes keep a good rhythm? Does it pull on the emotions? Any thoughts? Is it worth posting or should I trash it and try again?
8) Lord, You are removing my chains,
10) So why does illness kill my hope to fly?
6) Am I…

Keilah H. replied to the topic What Kind of Writing do You Excel at? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 2 months ago
I write fanfiction, mostly. I’m not the best with original plots, but I make original characters and sidestory fanfics to go with them like crazy. My brother is better at creating villain groups, cool weapons, and that sort of thing than I am. But I like writing little picture books (5 published already), and I’ve done a few essays.
Also,…[Read more]

Ooh, also great ideas! I really need to get started working on this… you guys have given me so much to work with!

Annabelle replied to the topic Wingfeather Saga in the forum Book Discussions 4 years, 2 months ago
Hey, you guys. I’m trying to write a Wingfeather Saga fan fiction and I need your help with ideas.
So, if I remember correctly, the Overseer never had a specified backstory within the Wingfeather series. Like, we knew he was a bad guy… but how did he get that way? He wasn’t like the Fangs, he was a human. Something had to happen to make him act…[Read more]

R.M. Archer replied to the topic Do you Prefer Classical or Modern Literature? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 2 months ago
I’d believe that. XD I’d intended to write up a compare-and-contrast review between the book and the movie after I read the book, but I never got around to re-watching the movie or writing the review, so… add it to the list of reviews I’ve intended to write and forgotten about. ;P But at some point I think that would still be…[Read more]

The book. I don’t think I knew there was a play, although that makes sense. I knew it was a musical and movie, among other things, so of course there would be a play somewhere in there. XD I actually watched the Emmy Rossum movie long before I read the book. (They’re very different, and each quite enjoyable in their own way.)

Hi everyone!
As you may remember, I recently started my blog. Many of you have subscribed, and I’m so grateful for that!
However, I’m struggling a little bit right now trying to learn how it all works. I’m quite new to the blogosphere, so I don’t quite understand some things, or I’d like advice on how to do them better. For example:…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Do you Prefer Classical or Modern Literature? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 2 months ago
A lot of those are on my tbr list. Now that I see you also recommend then I am even more looking forward to reading them!
That’s really interesting! I never thought there was a ‘first’ best selling book, but now thinking about it, of course there had to be one lol.
That’s really cool! Makes me even more interested in…[Read more]

Oh my goodness, YES!!!!! The way he twisted the Bible made me so mad… Like you said, I wanted to throttle him. *facepalm*
Those are all really good points! I agree that Rochester wasn’t ready for marriage until he’d changed (Side note: their reunion was incredibly sweet). St. John certainly contrasted him! Honestly, I reall…[Read more]

Yeah, Classic lit. feels so much more grounded. It also feels a bit more comfy and homey to read. I do really like fast paced books, but slow paced books like classics are so relaxing.
Do you have any favorite classics?

Keilah H. replied to the topic I'm giving you permission to rant about your WIP in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 3 months ago
@elishavet-pidyon I know. Feather and Reed totally didn’t deserve what happened to them, but still….I mean, it was already written out for them because they were both from fanfics, and although they were both OCs they were closely linked to the original stories (they came from two separate ones).

@elishavet-pidyon lol!! That is understandable!!! Drafting (writing in GENERAL) is ROUGH!!!
@devastate-lasting Oh nice!! I’ve tried doing the chapter outline thing for drafts and maybe once I get to later drafts it’ll work better for me 😂

@elishavet-pidyon @trahia-the-minstrel Ugh, yes, we can be so mean to our characters. Like, literally taking two of the character’s best friends from her in the course of two days, and then killing off another in a story that happens a few years later.
Or making a fanfiction character’s dad the main villain of the original story, and then making…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon Yeah, sometimes I have to get around that too…. But I make it work. Only a few characters have gotten that treatment, though.

Um … yeah, that would probably be quite a lot of mental trauma. Enough to give him a pretty severe fear of fire, dogs, and soldiers. Children are very impressionable, and having a memory of those things in a tragedy like that would give him a negative association with all of the above.
