These are amazing (HUGE understatement)!!!!! I’m no poet, but I like to dabble in poetry every once in a while! And when I do, I definitely enjoy it! It sounds like you really do! Is it bad to say I relate to the words you wrote a lot??? XD
Are you a poet?? Have you written anything else? If so,…[Read more]

Does anyone ever see many insects in books??
Like butterflies, ants, beetles, millipedes, caterpillars (I know they’re butterflies, but I never hear about them in this form either), grasshoppers, ladybugs, bees, etc…
I’ve heard dragonflies, spiders (technically not an insect), and lightning bugs getting tons of attention. Especially…[Read more]

Okay, correct me if I’m wrong, but does this example work??
A frog hopped onto the desk, right next to the ring. “Aww! He’s kinda cute!” the antagonist squealed. “Why would they send me such a harmless–” the frog swallows the dark ring, full of powerful magic that the villain had worked so hard to get his hands on for years….…[Read more]

Ha!!! Yeah, I don’t have an outline! I’m a panster so I don’t usually form an outline for a while! I personally have always liked fantasy and action shows and movies!!!! So the one I’m working on right now is like a twisted fairy tale kind of show! It follows four siblings–Goldilocks, Peter Pan, Robin Hood, and Red Riding Hood–The…[Read more]

After watching The Avengers, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and various other movies and TV shows, I’ve always been interested in making my own films!!!

LOLLLL I definitely would steal my antagonist’s hat!!! It’s a pirate hat with a feather, jewels, and gold trimming so… even if I get slashed with a cutlass, it will totally be worth it! XD
Though I’m a little worried she might think the store is a stationary pirate ship with a TON of cargo! And she might challenge the manager to…[Read more]

Ahhhhhh!!!!!! Thank you so much! I needed to hear that! I think getting your ideas out and writing notes on the side is a good idea! And yes, I do have an outline! However, I’m a little worried that my plot has changed and I’ll have to fix it! But I’ll figure it out! Thanks, again!!! <3

Hi, everyone!!! I haven’t been on here in what seems like forever! But I’ve found myself stuck in a problem I was hoping some writers on here could help me out with!
Basically, my WIP is struggling! 🙂
