Trahia the Minstrel 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
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.
I speak from half-experience — I don…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon Ugh, I have wanted to mentally strangle characters before. It means I REALLY don’t like them; a villain character I like may find himself in a redemption arc in one of my many fanfics.

So glad there are other fans out there! *happy sigh* Jane is indeed a ton of fun!
I agree, Jane and Mr. Rochester have a SUPER sweet relationship. (He cracks me up with his snarky comments… Add her spunk into the mix, and oh boy, don’t things get fun! XD) I think my favorite part of the novel if eit…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What's Your Favorite Relationship Type in Fiction? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 3 months ago
Yuh, sibling relationships ftw. When is a story not better with a sibling, or sibling-like relationship?
Since it’s your favorite, how many sibling duos have you written, and do you have a favorite one you’ve written?
Yeah, there definitely is something special with brother friendships.
Maybe because it’s rarer…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Does writing energize or exhaust you? Or both? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 3 months ago
You definitely did not see my profile picture on Pinterest, where I definitely did not get it from. My profile 110% very unique and original. 🙂
It seems like most people get drained from writing. Has there ever been an exception for you? Like a certain chapter that made you excited and energized at…[Read more]

Gotchaaa, it’s still a fun idea though ;P
Yeah, it is a good book! Been a while since I read it 😉
Yesssss, I love those books that keep you up late. Though I don’t love them the next morning when I sleep till 10 and go about half asleep all-day XD
That’s true, there is! Exciting 🙂
Yep, it’ll be a ton of…[Read more]

Madelyn replied to the topic Fairytale Retellings in the forum Genre-Writing 4 years, 3 months ago
I can imagine XD
Will do!
Thanks so much for all your help!! =) =)
Ohhhh, gotcha, I thought you were referring to the author of Ella Enchanted. Sorry for all the confusion ;P And, yes, I think it was The Lost Kingdom of Bamarre (not the lost princess, I got that mixed up)
Ooh, sounds cool!!
AWESOME; good…[Read more]

Faith Q. started the topic Calling all storytellers… in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 3 months ago
Okay, y’all, so I recently finished my YA fantasy novel.
*cues the high-pitched screams*
But my next project is a middle-grade novel featuring a 12-year-old MC who gets herself into all sorts of scrapes.
The problem is, I’m not naturally a humorous writer. It’s something I’m trying to work on in this story, true, but a very not funny writer…[Read more]

Madelyn replied to the topic Fairytale Retellings in the forum Genre-Writing 4 years, 3 months ago
The author is Gail Carson Levine, right? (not sure I spelled that right XD). I’ve read two other books by her: The Lost Princess of Bamarre and The Two Princesses of Bamarre (I think those were the titles?? XD).
That’s true, she did a really good job taking a different approach to it!
Yesssss, go for it whenever you can!!…[Read more]

Madelyn replied to the topic Fairytale Retellings in the forum Genre-Writing 4 years, 3 months ago
Ooh, I love your ideas! Unfortunately, I’ve already written him as an old man who asked for the son… however, it WOULD be interesting to change the child to a girl (especially if I start having issues with the prince). I would love to see Rumpel interact with a little girl. So that is a possible rewrite to consider!
Hey, I…[Read more]

Hello, one and all! For those of you who are newer, we used to have some topics called “Writer’s Corner” or something like that, but I’m far too lazy to search for the previous ones or consult how many of these we have been through, so we can just start a new one.
This thread is just a place for off-topic chats, where we can talk about our day or…[Read more]

GodlyFantasy12 replied to the topic Characteristic Lines in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 4 months ago
Can we get this up and running again with brand new lines from characters? I still don’t really have many….but maybe we can expand this to be lines of not just dialogue but just very short bits of our books?

Lydia S. replied to the topic Characteristic Lines in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 4 months ago
So, I’m not the only one who does that!!! XD I very rarely read the ending of a book at the end of the book… Usually I spoil it for myself somewhere during the first chapter or maybe even before starting the first chapter… *facepalm* Honestly, I blame it on my writing style. I always know how my stories end and begin, so I guess…[Read more]

Ohhhh… you have to go to Glacier! It is the most beautiful place ever.
Yup! I remember when my family was doing our annual race to the top of somewhere in the White Mountains (NH) I got so thirsty and eventually drank from the stream that goes up. (: Then my sister came up behind me and surprised me. XD

Thx so much!
As for the middle boy I haven’t figured out everything about him, so can’t quite answer all those questions but definitely some things to think on!!
The abilities aren’t much of a spoiler when it comes to how they work.
I’ll use the youngest as an example-
His creature is the mouse type one, so he ends up havi…[Read more]
