I agree with Esther! Maybe just flesh out a little more of what’s happening with the characters’ emotions and minds. That will help to feel like we’re really in the scene and it’s going to little slower. I’m excited to see where this goes!!

Thank you for tagging me and please keep doing so!! This is really great! Your vocabulary and wording is spot on. Your characters are really great too and I love all of their names. Any reasoning behind the names you chose?
My only critique might be that events seem to be playing out a little quickly, but that might be okay depending…[Read more]

I’m a nursing student, so this is my kind of question! XD Yes, nurses can definitely specialize in different things. She could be an operating room nurse or an oncology nurse (works with cancer patients) or a pediatric nurse who works with kids or a labor and delivery nurse who delivers babies. There’s a huge list of what she could do,…[Read more]

Hey! Here’s the deal….I’m something of a plotter and simultaneously a panster, but I typically lean more toward the plotting side. (To back myself up, I have legitimately finished an entire co-written novel, several successful short stories, and a novella. I’m not saying that to brag, just proving that I do finish projects…[Read more]

Nice to meet you! I’m Landri C. I’m a college nursing student (previously homeschooled) who loves medicine, writing fantasy/fiction, reading, and music.
I like some good romance! I’m typically a fan of slightly older Christian romance (like Janette Oke) but I read some modern stuff as well sometimes! I mostly write in fanta…[Read more]

Thanks! I’m so glad you like the WIP idea!! I’ll post if it works out 😉

Thank you!! I’m glad it sounds appealing! I’m picturing her sort of like that too. We’ll see what happens, but I’ll definitely post when I get the first bit done!

Oooo…music genre is hard! I know someone already mentioned One Republic. If I’m listening to pop, its them or American Authors. But I really love folk and bluegrass! (Let’s go Arcadian Wild!!!!)

Yess, you should definitely keep going!!

Thanks!! I’m glad you like her so far 😉

Hi guys! I’m doing a YWW challenge this week to craft a story idea. What do you think so far?? I need suggestions, specifically at other character ideas for the needed side charries 😉

Blurb:

Kuyper has been on her own for a long time.…[Read more]

Yes!! I love Ranger’s Apprentice! They’re all really good. He does some fantastic plot twists later on.

1. My favorite color is olive/army green
2. I’m definitely a dog person over a cat person, but I think my favorite animals are sea otters!
3. Favorite books of mine…The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Horse and His Boy, Mariel of Redwall, The Burning Bridge (and all the series those go with 😉
4. To share…currently, I’m…

Here’s some ideas! (I’m thinking you want “s” names???)

Mom: Selina, Sophie, Sara, Samantha, Sage, Selah, Sylvie

Dad: Samuel, Silas, Spencer, Stephen, Soren, Seth

My name is Landri, and I’m a (previously) homeschool nursing major in college who uses my writing as my coping mechanism 😉 Just this year, I finished my first complete novel with my cowriter @elizabeth-hearten. It’s a fantasy/medieval fiction about a pair of sisters and it was a blast to worldbuild and write for!…[Read more]

But I also really like the shapeshifter idea too…I think it would work if she made a deal with the wizard to turn her into a shapeshifter too!

Hey! I’m on if we want to try the link again XD

I think you’ll have to add me as a collaborator? My Spotify name is Lcoble

thanks!!

I just love how he can’t decide whether to be super tough or his regular self XD

That would be great!!

Chapter 4 did not disappoint!!! Looking forward to more! (Dune is totally my favorite character. This chapter solidified it in my mind XD)

I just saw these posts, but I’m on Spotify too and found the playlist!! Great picks!

I’m not sure how deep I expected the hole to be, but I hit the ground far before I expected to. My knees buckled with the impact, and I felt myself crumple to the ground. It was harder than I expected. Not dirt, but some type of sand-coated stone.

I hadn’t realized my eyes were closed until…[Read more]

Thank you guys so much for the feedback! And for catching the errors. 😉 I’ve made the decision to try to break my idea down into several short stories like you suggested. I think that’ll be better than trying to cram everything into one really loooong short story. Too many of those already exist…[Read more]

Thank you so much for the feedback and the compliment 😉 I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Description is one of my favorite parts of fiction writing, so I’m glad I was able to pull it off well. I think all of your edits are good catches and I’ll definitely tweak those.

Ahh!! They have such great meanings too!!!

YESSSS. 🥹🥹 Emma is my all-time favorite.

That’s a beautiful mood board!! Your quotes are really perfect too. Feel free to tag me if you post more!

Also…THEIR. NAMES. I’m a sucker for perfect character names and I loved theirs!! So gloriously Annerian….

You’re so welcome!! Thank you again for letting me read it. Seriously, this is gold. Your writing is great, especially for someone your age! You’ve got a lot of talent 😉

I’m so glad you guys like it!! *curtsies* Again, it’s an old piece and I wasn’t sure if I should just scrap it. Thanks for finding those grammatical errors!

Here’s the deal…I do have another part. I was planning on having both Will and Emma flashback to show their really different home lives and their…[Read more]

Yes, it was great!! Thanks so much for posting it and allowing me to read it.

THIS IS FANTASTIC. I AM IN TEARS.

That’s one of my favorite songs, and you did so well with it!!! Ack…I have to calm down…

Anyway, spot on prose, girl!! The way you wove in the song was priceless. If you make edits, great, but DO NOT touch the storyline!! Esther, this is amazing. Truly.

I’m Landri, a college nursing student/fiction fantasy writer/reader, and I dearly love fiction that takes place on the high seas. Have you read The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi by any chance? That is my favorite pirate story.

Questions (pirate edition)!

-If you could choose anyone to be your first…[Read more]

Great job on Chapter 3!! It had good follow-up from Chapter 2 and might just be my favorite chapter yet. All of you herbalism/healing techniques are spot on, and the descriptions of the ship really added to the cool sci-fi vibes. I could picture everything easily. Keep up the good work! Your charries are so likable and fun. Great…[Read more]

Hi guys!
This is a really old short story of mine. I’ve decided not to turn it into a novel, but I’d still like to hone it and fix it up. Edits/opinions/ideas are appreciated!!

The ballroom was a sea of bobbing and floating colors. Even the oppressive Alabama hea…[Read more]

Yes, I love Heather! If you keep reading the series, Emma becomes my favorite. Also, who couldn’t love Pickett? His character arc is fantastic as the series goes on.

Cool!

WHOA, you’re in the middle of all my favorites!

God of the Garden is fantastic. Do you have a favorite Green Ember character??

Also, please tag me to rant about Ranger’s Apprentice. It’s phenomenal. I’m on the Siege of Macindaw right now (book six) and there all so good….

Oooo,that sounds fun 😉

Perfect!! Thanks!

What have you been reading lately? (Remind me-you’re in highschool? If so, school reading counts 😉

My writing’s been good! To be honest, I haven’t had much time, but I’ve been brainstorming about my historical fiction WIP and I’m hoping to get the first part of my chapter one done today!

I’m also formulating a fantasy/dystopian short story…maybe?? We’ll see how it goes.

So fun! I love Easter too. My family and I are busy cooking today, and then we’re having a church breakfast tomorrow before service.

Hey, I love it when phone photos turn out better than expected. XD

How are your WIP’s coming?
