Faith Q.

@alia

Ooh that’s tricky. Are you finding it hard to come up with subplots or just integrate them into the main plot?

@alia

I definitely understand. Second drafts are so hard. What in particular are you struggling with?

@alia

That’s really good to hear. I’m going to add them to my Goodreads right now 😀

Hopefully it will be intriguing. I pantsed the whole thing (which I do not do) so its not in great shape at the moment but at least the first draft is done and I’ve got something to work with. The half-elf is awesome. Definitely one of my favourite characters…[Read more]

@alia

I’ll definitely look into her then! I enjoy books like that if they’re well written 😀

Thank you! The one I just finished is a dark(ish) fantasy thriller about two brothers, who may or may not hate each other, who have to uncover an ancient conspiracy with the help of an immortal half-elf. The one I’m working on plotting at the moment is a…[Read more]

@alia

Ooh, I’ve heard of Tessa Afshar but I’ve never read any of her books. What are some of her plots about?

I’ve read some really good books lately, mostly non-fiction and adult historical fiction! My writing’s been pretty good too. I finished another novel a couple of days ago which was really good and I’ve got plans to start another one very soon.

@alia not too bad at all. Very tired from all the crazy holidays, but doing very well. How about you? Read any good books or written anything lately?

@alia

Hey! Yes, I am for now! I may disappear sooner or later.

@rochellaine

I am keen to write it! I think it will be a lot of fun.

Yes I am! Completely certified 😀 The new ones are Bull Arabs, which is an aussie breed which look like Great Danes but a little bit smaller. They’re from a pound in Queensland and just need someone to look after them and train them until they’re adopted.

I love Pyrenees and…[Read more]

@rochellaine

What are word wars?? ❓

@jenwriter17 As I’ve already explained all I’ve done in 2021 is be cuddled up in bed listening to an audiobook so it’s been pretty good.

@rochellaine

I’m not sure about it being well-written at the moment, but thanks for the sentiment 😛 My next one is a historical novel set in an alternate world (fantasy, but without magic? Or anything…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I’m procrastinating getting out of bed. I’m usually up very early to walk my dogs, but its a public holiday and it’s raining, so its eight thirty and I’m still not out of bed lol.

My novel is still underwraps, but its a fantasy thriller novel with two brothers who may or may not hate each other as the main characters who must…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Woohoo on ur Novel! Mind telling us what it’s about??

AAAAGHHH

I am procrastinating soooooo bad rn. I need to write and I want to a little bit but also not.

WHHYYYYY

@scoutfinch180 Oh wow…Andrew would rather be brainy.

Would your character rather have to live a year in repeat or have a horrid year every year?

@godlyfantasy12
Ooooh, YES!!!!!! Those were really awesome tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@rochellaine

Not sure, so far no one even got the full blurb yet 😀 It is a proper fantasy though.

Yep, I knitted them! And yes, it is summer *pretends I’m not huddled under three blankets and still cold*

No, we don’t have any streaming services unfortunately, due to being rural and only have limited internet 🙁 So we just watch DVDs and a bit…[Read more]

@scoutfinch180

Oooh very interesting!!

So for Fabian, if you’re going to kill him off, make sure it has meaning and reason, so as not to make your reader feel cheated. Sounds like he has quite a bit of internal conflict going on. Basically, what I took from that, is he’s a hero who looks and feels like a monster, and because of that believes he…[Read more]

@issawriter7

Ooh! Okay, so it looks like you’ve got what I’m gonna call a Conflicted character. My Villain in my series is also a very conflicted character herself.

So here are my tips, feel free to use them or ignore them lol.

1. Sometimes there are different kinds of bold. Being cocky, and just being courageous. Depending on which you…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Please keep reading Spinning Silver, I can’t guarantee you’ll love it but I was also very bored for the first bit and ended up rating it my favourite Fantasy book of 2020.
