Faith Q. started the topic Calling all storytellers… in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 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]

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]

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!

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]

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?

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
That’s a good po…[Read more]

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]

So to answer some questions it is in paragraph form in the book. The way it posted is pretty much how it is in the draft as of rn.
It is for the Cirque book!
Spotlight and clown are in there because it is in the Cirque book. Hope that sheds some light!

I suppose Natalia is sort of that entire known world, but for some reason it seemed to me more like a kingdom in a wild, unknown land.
I wonder if there’s a thing on here for Antagonist development. Or maybe we should start a new one.
Uniqueness… That may turn out to be a struggle, especially as I’m not entirely…[Read more]

Bonifer is worse than everybody. He’s like… the worst villain. EVER. That I’ve read about at least. There could be more evil or dark villains out there… but Bonifer is just so well-written for a villain. Andrew Peterson did a great job creating him.
Ambition, bitterness, and pride… Those are pretty good traits…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon @annabelle @koshka Ugh, Bonifer Squoon. He’s almost worse than the other villain I hate….Wait, scratch that. He is worse.
Garten Longtreader….Well, I wasn’t so mad about him. But he is a horrible character.
