Hi, Hello, Greetings, and WELCOME TO THE FORUM FELLOW WRITER! This forum thread, (for some unknown reason), has inspired me to write in all caps. XD

Your blog looks amazing! How long has it been around, and what inspired you to start it?

Oooh, yes the False Prince is great! I think I’ve read it 3 times. XD What’s your top 3 books…[Read more]

I made a Goodreads account when I was like, eight, but I haven’t been active on it for a few years now. But I have been thinking about getting back into it seeing how many people on the forum have a Goodreads account and it would be cool to connect over there! So I’ll get back to you with my username when I find my old account and…[Read more]

Okay. Another.

How did the rock climber end his chapter?

With a cliffhanger!

Heh.

@godlyfantasy12

This message can never be spoken too much! Thank you for this sharing this and for opening up the opportunity to speak more about this. 🙂 It’s an amazing reminder for Christians and non-Christians alike.

Today I read the first couple chapters of Spinning Siver by Niomi Novik. It’s an adult fantasy book that I’m pretty sure is a retelling of Rumpelstiltskin.

So far I’m enjoying it! The atmosphere is really nice, and every time I read it it’s like I’m being transported into a magical winter forest.  Although I’m only a couple of chapters in, I can…[Read more]

I just got the book from the library! Looking forward to reading it.

@nova21

Oof, yes. XD I know those characters far too well.  Have you ever read a book with a character that you had a sneaking suspicion was the author’s favorite character? I feel like the try-hard comic relief characters are often those characters, but since the author likes the character so much they’re oblivious to it. XD Not sure if you’ve c…[Read more]

@nova21

I think what you mentioned right there is the epitome of writing. Most likely all writers at one point or another write about situations we have no experience ever doing but write about it as if we did it just that morning. XD And it’s totally prevalent when writing banter between two characters wholly different from you. Their…[Read more]

Is it bad that I’ve never written romance in any form before? I love creating deep, meaningful, and complicated relationships, but never romance. Probably because I don’t read romance often, and I’m only seventeen so romance isn’t something I think about, like, ever. XD

But I can see how writing romance would be difficult.…[Read more]

I just watched AtLA for the first time last month, and as someone who was expecting the typical kids show, (or just any tv show for that matter), it blew my expectations right out of the water. Particularly with what you mention with Zuko’s character arc. I love the thought and care the writers put into him and the entire story.…[Read more]

@lewilliams

This is an awesome idea! I’ve been in sort of a short story writing spree the past couple months so this is perfect. And doing this post Christmas is also a great idea to have something to look forward to, (and give us more time to write the short stories). XD

@godlyfantasy12

I love bullet journaling! I’ve been doing it for a couple of years now, and it’s the perfect mashup of both my love for organization and doodling! Plus, they’re super fun to look back on and remeber where you were years ago.

My favorite bullet journaling YouTuber is AmandaRachLee. She’s great if you want some bullet journal ideas…[Read more]

@kathleen

Considering I have over 30 pages of planning and outlining for the current one I’m working on, I’d say detailed xD

@devastate-lasting

Exactly! I don’t just want to write entertaining stories, I want to write stories that last forever.

@iluvhim18

Haha, yes. I think we’ve all at some point wrote totally spontaneous stories and wrote whatever cool thing popped in our heads first. XD

But like you said, with structure the story ideas can be fully utilized to…[Read more]

I was a horrible pantser. I would just write whatever wisp of an idea that came to me. I would write a few pages before having my next ‘big idea’ and writing that down. It was a rigorous process.

Now I plan out my stories. I catch those wisps of ideas and find ways to either weave them into the story I’m writing or write them down for the future.…[Read more]

The notebook switch you do with your friend is really cool. I’ve never thought of doing that before but I really want to try that now.

I can definitely relate to wanting to try EVERYTHING out. It sometimes feels like I gain a new hobby every week. XD

Scenes and characters from stories are my favorite thing to draw as well! Art…[Read more]
