Bittersweet? Most definitely. Pointlessly tragic? No.

I love them too! The Arlington’s names are honestly what makes them come alive to me, haha… and I love Indi!.. and everyone else, now that I mention it.
Anyway, thank you, and I agree 🙂

Ooh, those questions are super helpful and thought-provoking! I’ve thought of some of them before, but I’ll definitely use them to keep the plot churning!
(And if you ever think of more, please don’t hesitate… the further I get this, the better!)

Equally important second things second: my YA fantasy.
I’m not even writing this one until NaNo (for now I’m focusing on the above story and editing past ones), but I want to start getting comfortable with the idea and turning ideas around in my head. I want this to be a trilogy, and I don’t have enough story for that yet, so I’d love anything…[Read more]

First things first: the middle-grade contemporary.
Indium Grace Arlington lives a pretty normal life for a 10-year-old… except for her crazy family, whose escapades are generally the talk of the whole town. (Not that the town is that big, of course.)
Okay, so maybe her life isn’t all that normal.
I mean, they were kind of doomed from the…[Read more]

Okay, y’all, I need a brainstorming partner… or two… or as many as I can find, haha…
It’ll actually be for two separate projects. One is a middle-grade contemporary novel, and the other is a YA fantasy. If you’re up for helping me brainstorm, either (or both!) need work, so anyone who can, pretty much? I’ll give the tags here, and then put…[Read more]

WOAH.
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.
Seriously, that was great writing. Now I wanna read more!

Faith Q. replied to the topic *Ahem* functional character problems in the forum Characters 2 years, 6 months ago
I’ve only skimmed what other people have said, but I do agree with them for the most part. If you feel like your character needs to be white, that’s totally fine. Don’t push anything on your characters that feels unnatural; trust me, I’ve tried it. Just go with the flow and what feels right for your story.
That being said,…[Read more]

Faith Q. replied to the topic Me idea in the forum Plotting 2 years, 6 months ago
Ooh, thanks for the encouragement and suggestions! *brain starts churning, then realizes that idea is WAY too similar to the last book she wrote, haha*
Yes!! If I can get picky readers (like me and, apparently, you) to go past the blurb on the back, I’d consider that a solid win! This idea is now officially on the list of ones I hope to…[Read more]

Faith Q. replied to the topic The Beloved Character Death Discussion Page….Woohoo in the forum Characters 2 years, 6 months ago
At least for me, even though I haven’t read a ton of stories with fake character deaths, I’ve read enough to know that it cheapens the plotline. I feel like killing MCs and resurrecting them is a common enough thing to do that when you do it, people don’t take you seriously. It takes away from the power of the MC’s death,…[Read more]

Oh, gotcha. Thanks for the comments, and I appreciate the encouragement! I’ve officially added it to my many ‘to-be-written’ WISemi-progress XD
And, just out of curiosity, why did my story idea remind you of ‘Mark of the Thief’?
Haha, yeah, I get that. I’ve never written anything cliche on purpose, but I can totally see…[Read more]

Faith Q. started the topic Me idea in the forum Plotting 2 years, 6 months ago
Okay, so last night I got this amazing idea. At least I think it sounds amazing. But my problem is, it also sounds a bit cliche.
The problem is, I don’t get out much. Honestly, I’m pretty picky about what I read, so modern secular works are very rarely added to the list, and I am pretty clueless about what’s actually on the shelves. I know I…[Read more]

1. I love mystery and unraveling secrets… ugh, so good.
2. And then when you add deceit in there, it becomes a winner. Anything suspenseful like that is the best.
3. And then when you have a clock ticking and they have to solve said mystery soon… *shivers with delicious anticipation*
But…

Oy, well, this took a little longer than I thought. *glares at loathsome procrastinating self, my LPS* I had meant to answer A LOT sooner, respond to each of you individually, and definitely NOT wait almost a full month before responding.
As you can see, that didn’t happen.

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]
