Joy started the topic Favorite Book? in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 10 months ago
I don’t think there is a forum like this in here! Either that or I just haven’t looked thoroughly enough. That’s totally possible. 🙂
Anyway, what is/are your favorite book(s)?
Mine are:
All Things Bright and Beautiful by James Herriot
The Wingfeather Saga by Andrew Peterson (a series of four)
Night by Elie Wiesel
Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine…[Read more] -

@emma-flournoy Ah! All my friends say Les Mis is too long! I’m glad I found someone who likes it! I’m only halfway through the book, but I really like it so far!

@salome01w4g I agree with @emily – George Speare is great. I like her book The Bronze Bow.
I would also highly recommend James Herriot (I know you’ve read them, but anyone else who hasn’t should check him out!), Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, and Night by Elie Wiesel. -

Hey guys! *waves* I’m going to take another hiatus. I’ll be back within a week or so…
Don’t do anything exciting without me.

@catwing I don’t know much about writing synopses, but what you have sounds super interesting! I can’t wait to read the story and find out how Alex and her friends save the kingdom. 🙂

#3 Is stuuupid. Tell me honestly if you think I should scrap it. But thanks again. You tend to raise questions that flesh out the story. And remember, I’m available almost literally always to read stuff so if you want me to read something…[Read more]-
I am so glad I’ve been able to help you find direction and purpose! 🙂 I find that editing people makes me look at MY OWN work with a more critical eye, and helping people remember not to use adverbs so often commas, etc is super helpful for ingraining it in your brain. So YAY!
I would be delighted to read it anytime. I like to say I am a decent…[Read more]

@jess I honestly don’t know what I’m doing. In my own writing. I don’t know how I would help you except for this one question: Is it BMA your OYAN or Crown of Ice. Because I agree with @kate-flournoy make the world seem better than she left it (if it’s BMA). Sure she doesn’t get what she wants but her actions have been very…unseemly to the HS.…[Read more]

Jane Maree replied to the topic Critique this? in the forum Poetry Critiques 8 years, 10 months ago
@Dekreel to tone it down from being so dark, you could change the aspects of fear and horror/dismay that the tree feels, to a sense of confusion and curiosity. That would shift the mood from ‘scary’ to a much lighter feel.
A way to avoid so much of the human terminology you can use similes instead. Saying “I feel a great, pulsing joy in my heart”…[Read more]

Lightningmouse replied to the topic Character/Story Theme Songs in the forum Music 8 years, 10 months ago
As I develop characters I like to add songs and pieces of music that remind me of them and their arcs to playlists on my Spotify. Occasionally I’ll make a list for a scene or a whole story, but I like to have a whole story complete and in front of me before I dive into a playlist for it.
ALSO, if anybody here has a Spotify account, I made a bunch…[Read more]

@ingridrd I’m back…but if anyone comes along claiming I must return to the gold from whence I came, I don’t know what I’ll do. Especially is someone says:
that.
