Hey, sorry about the late welcome, but WELCOME anyway! I’m Ella, I write dystopian/thriller/suspense/mystery/post-apocalyptic/YA novels. I love myself a good mystery/thriller book on a rainy day with a cup of tea, if I’m in the mood. If I’m not, I’m most likely in the gym or playing basketball or hanging with friends. And writing is…[Read more]

update to the fanfic topic: I stopped writing the artemis fowl fanfic I had started a while ago. It was too cringy for me. BUT I did get the protagonist (or rather, the first idea of my protagonist) for my crime novel out of it!

@lewilliams Ahhh thank youu!!! I designed the cover with Ibis Paint X (a free illustration app that I loooveee so muchhh) and for the actual video, I used plain ol’ Canva! (This was my first time to make a video using Canva, and I must say, my respect for them only grew XD). Thank you so much!! (Pshh girl, you’re asking me, a girl with a soul from…[Read more]

Thanks! Well, i always had the idea for Hope’s character in the back of my head, but watching the Will Smith movie, I Am Legend inspired me to expand the plot. That movie, paired with Interstellar really sealed the bill for me. XD I love complex plots, high stakes, and characters searching for family/romance, so this story is b…[Read more]

@kathleenramm This is actually the sequel of a sequel of a spinoff for my original idea for Thirteen Ways, ha… It started out with me wanting to make a world where I could escape to, and gradually I just added on, and on, and on… And now, thankfully, I’ve run out of ideas for it.

@daisy-torres AHHH AWESOME!! I do so so badly wanna make a book trailer!! I figure I can be the 2 girls (if I get a wig and only show myself from the back and such). I’d love to have it almost like an adventure trailer and Arabella says “How do you fulfill a destiny you never asked for?”

@kathleenramm I’m gonna use the current arc of Thirteen Ways since the stakes are the clearest. Basic premise: they need to gather ingredients for a spell to vanquish a demon. If they don’t, then some friends and family are lost forever to the demon.
In order to collect the ingredients, they must defeat the guardians of some of the ingredients.…[Read more]

Tbh, i feel like every era was just plain bad. XD Maybe i’d go back to the eighties and nineties to jam out and crowdsurf XDDD Not a super intelligent answer, but that’s what I’d do:)

ella replied to the topic What are the 2 (or 3) biggest stakes in your story? in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years ago
for my WIP Spirals, the stakes are the choices between life and death. Hope, the MC, lives alone in the wild and wants a “family” more than anything: parents, friends, anyone. Every decision she makes decides if she’ll survive the next morning. The people living in the post-apocalyptic world are basically insane so she never know…[Read more]

Oooo, I love Keziah already!!! I guess one thing about her that would make people (yours truly especially… 😛 ) LOVE her is to make her tug at your readers’ heartstrings and make her relatable. Make her a mirror in which, perhaps, from time to time, they see someone who is all too familiar. (The desire for revenge, brooding, and…[Read more]

Oooo, CONGRATS!!! How exciting! XD
I do not have a blog at the moment, but from a reader’s perspective, I know my favorite articles are ones about the writer’s (or other writers’) book(s), whether that be memes, behind-the-scenes peeks, extra scenes, cover reveals, etc. I especially love fun stuff about the book (Covers, memes,…[Read more]

Ah, Danek… I could likely rant for hours about him, poor fellow. He’s a villain… of sorts. (It’s hard to explain without spoiling books 1 and 2.) But anyway, basically, he just wants someone to love him, but, unfortunately, it seems fairly impossible. His mother is dead; his father was emotionally crippled by her death and isn’t a…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Good luck on your story! Yes, now I think I want to incorporate at least one delivery boy henchman into a future story. I love it when henchmen have distinct personalities and appearances. Makes the story much more fun.
