I’m doing The Writer’s Conservatory! (It’s a three-year college alternative program that teaches students how to write well and on a deadline, how to publish independently and traditionally, and helps you start a small business) They count the program as a credit in English and a credit in business. 🙂
You’d think with how smart technol…[Read more]

Oh, thanks for the recommendation! It’s so nice to see good relationships in novels.
I’ve never watched LOTR, but I’m a huge fan of it! Sam is just… *chef’s kiss* XD -
Abigail.M. replied to the topic Pitch Critique! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 7 months ago
This sounds cool!
Okay so the three things I really liked about this are #1 the whole circus/murder mystery #2 the fact we’ll be getting into the past of a circus #3 they have high stakes at risk.
The three questions I have would be #1 why are Ara and November, in particular, being targeted #2 what are they doing in the circus…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassain
1st of all, your Forum Topic Into was almost as fun to read as the chapters… I guess that explains why I haven’t heard from Shakespeare lately.
2nd of all.
I’m sorry.
Eh, not for the late replay as much as I am for not reading this sooner. Don’t get me wrong, as much as I’d love to bash a video game-themed…[Read more]

Oh, awesome! I’ll have to pop in and do that. Thank you so much for letting me know! 🙂 <333
Agh, yessss… I honestly can’t think of that many books that include siblings, let alone in a positive manner. Which is honestly very, very sad. :'(

Hello, my friend! Hope you’re doing well. 🙂 Idk if you remember the AIO podcast chat page, but Naomi from there was wondering about you. Here’s the link (https://www.adventuresinodyssey.com/podcast/video-podcast-avery-awards-team-edition-best-moment-in-the-studio/), but no pressure to hop on if it’d be stressful! If you want to…[Read more] -

Exactly! I’m hoping to be able to work my writing into this next school year. It would be a whole lot easier to stay in touch with my stories if I was required to and earned high school credits off of it. XD
Hahaha, I feel you!!! Apple maps is the same way, unfortunately. I guess Madagascar isn’t the worst place to end up, though.…[Read more]

Lydia S. replied to the topic Writer's Corner #505 in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 7 months ago
How cool! I actually haven’t read anything from those authors yet. Hopefully, I can do that during my senior year. 🙂
Ooo, exciting!!! I’m probably too late to submit a question, but I hope you got a bunch. 🙂 I can’t wait to see where you take this novel, girl! <333
I’m going to echo what…[Read more]

Lydia S. replied to the topic How do you draft/write the "first" document? in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 8 months ago
Ah, this is embarrassingly late, but here I am anyway! 😉
My drafting process is a bit odd. Generally, I know how the story begins, and I know how the story or even series ends. Random scenes from the middle pop into my head at random times, but most of it is pretty blurry. The story usually works itself out on its own. I just…[Read more]

You and me both, girl!!! I haven’t sat down to write for… oh, a few months now… 😬 Most of my writing happens during spare moments on my phone. If I’m writing on my computer, it’s usually for school. 🙁 Hopefully, that will change here soon. 🙂
So I’m not the only one who’s gotten lost! I’ve ended up in Madagascar several times…[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, I’m a big fan of the classics! I take a pretty intense literature program, so I get to read a lot of them. 🙂 Some of the ones we’ve read this year are Don Quixote, Paradise Lost, Frankenstein (that was quite the book), and Robinson Crusoe. Last year, we did Shakespeare (among other stuff, including The Once and Fut…[Read more]

That’s awesome!!! I’ve only read Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion. Hopefully, someday I’ll get around to reading her other novels! 😀 (maybe I’ll listen to them… I’d probably get through them all faster that way… lol)

Agh, that makes me so happy!!! So glad I could be helpful. <3333
I know!!! WIPs can feel so overwhelming… I haven’t even gotten beyond daydreaming for my dream project bc I know it’s gonna be big and require a lot of mental maturity I’m not sure I’m ready for yet (Why I do this to myself, I have no idea…) So, yeah, I get it!

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]
