Are you kidding? Grace Johnson for an author’s name is amazing! Like I reference it to people and your site and it always sounds perfect. It reminds me a lot of Jane Austen or a Bronte 🙂

@joy-caroline

Ooh, I love that! ‘Joy C. Woodbury’ looks, sounds, and is, awesome, (I agree, the middle initial thing is pretty cool).

Thank you! 😀 Me too, I love CSFTS. I think my favorite books have gotta be the ones for writers, (have you read those? I think there’s only two of them so far). My sister prefers the cat compilations which also…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

I think that using your initials would be an excellent choice! (You’re so right, it looks amazing!)
*Whew* that’s good to know! I am so glad that I’m not 🙂

@writerlexi1216

WHOA, my link went through!!! 😀 😀 (I think the secret is perhaps to post it as a cut and paste instead of as a link) Cue the fireworks!! XD

@writerlexi1216

I think that in fantasy, initials are a continuous popularity, like say J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and J.K. Rowling. Although on the other hand, other fantasy stars like Niel Gaiman just stick with their real name and go with that.
Some writers like to take on pen names for the obvious reasons like privacy and genre-switching or…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

*Gasps* THAT IS BREATHTAKING! You don’t have to change a single thing, I absolutely love it, thank you so so much!! 😀 😀 😀

@joy-caroline

Huh, I’ve never been able to really word my struggle with plots before, but you just did. I mean that is the EXACT problem I have. I have all these scenes and big events and a grasp of the concept, but it just feels like these big boulders of plot points with pieces of string tied from one to the other for the characters to cross to…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

XD Well, JC sounds awesome. Kinda like CS in Clive Staples Lewis or JRR like Tolkien 🙂 Oh yes, that is true. You are still expected to publicize; one of my poems is going to appear in a Chicken Soup For The Soul book, and they’re already sending me information, informing me on all the hows and whens and dos and don’ts of what they…[Read more]

@nova21

Hi Ella! I may be able to help you on the level of a depressing theme getting to you. I have done it in the past where a theme or plotline that I feel should be in my writing. Or a theme I think will make my writing better or one that feels like a strong theme. I do it because I to, literally need strong themes in my work to keep my love…[Read more]

@relia

Hi Relia! Hey, this is awesome that you’re doing this!! If you want, could you illustrate my MC of my current novel:) Here is her picture below that describes her nearly perfectly:

@not-so-secret-assasain

Wow, this a 100% epic idea! I’m bringing Twinkies because I’m terrible at baking things, (looks back in memory at melted cookies and black charcoal cakes… *shudders* never going back to the wilds of the kitchen again).
Okay, getting down to serious business (not saying that Twinkies aren’t serious or anything), my gift ‘t…[Read more]

@elfwing

That’s awesome to hear! I’m glad the move went well:)
Ah yes XD Some of my characters do the same thing sometimes, my villain became so elusive, (probably because I had ignored him for a while), that he kind of disappeared. But I’m sure that your work is amazing:D

That is a good idea and definitely worth consideration and you are so ri…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Story ideas… yeah, I have the same struggle (I seem to have the same writerly struggles as all of yall XD But that’s a good thing too, we’re all writers in this together:)
I got the idea for The Snow Warrior years ago. I was flipping through a costume magazine and spotted one costume in particular that suddenly gained all my atten…[Read more]

@nova21

Honestly, I don’t remember reading a series where each book wasn’t technically related yet was set in the same world… but seriously? I LOVE the concept!! 😀

@godlyfantasy12

Unfortunately, I don’t have a facebook account, but this sounds awsome:)

@seekjustice

Ooh, this place looks AMAZING!! 😀 I definitely hope I can catch a conversation around here sometime:D

@relia

Your WIP sounds amazing Relia! Ah, yes, this is yet again a very late reply, (I can only escape to the forum to write these only so often during the summer).
Haha, yes, tbh I have no idea how anybody ever found me there XD
Ooh, I LOVE extreme weather settings!! 😀 I usually employ blizzards and whiteouts and snowstorms and what other words…[Read more]

@elizabethcan

No worries! Busy weeks are life 🙂 *cough* this late reply as well. Ooh, you’ve read the first two of The Space Trilogy? I’ve got those two, though I haven’t read them yet, I’m planning on it soon, (I already have over ten books that I’ve started now). But I’ve been reading C.S. Lewis’s Of Other Worlds collection and I think it’s re…[Read more]
