@theducktator I can’t find an Abigail with a duck!! 😭

@hybridlore

My username is Abigail followed by my last name which I won’t share on here, and my profile pic is a duck!

@theducktator @savannah_grace2009

Have you two gotten on yet?

@savannah_grace2009
It’s great that you are able to explore those feelings with characters. A phase like that doesn’t feel great but it can open your perspective. <3 (I’m going to shift this conversation somewhere else in a sec)

@keilah-h

thank you much!! This is super helpful!

@whaley

At the beginning of this year, I went through a little phase where I really did suspect that I had it, but now I’m not sure…I think I feel more of myself again. Because of that experience, I feel like I have a way better understanding of how people that struggle with this feel (obviously it’s going to be different for everyone and even…[Read more]

That doesn’t sound wrong to me at all. Lots of middle grade books (and others) are very contemporary, with elements of fantasy. Hints early on would definitely help.

Starting a new idea is always exciting! If you want to talk about the world or anything, please tag me!

@linus-smallprint

If you’re talking about CWW, no problem, it’s an optional challenge. :] You should tell your sister, though, that nobody actually shares their stories on the community. You only count up your words and submit the number each time you write. So her project wouldn’t be shown to anyone.

@linus-smallprint @rae @loopylin @godlyfantasy12 @ellette-giselle @hybridlore and whoever

I have a new project I’m excited to work on this week. Just spent an hour plotting the first half of it, but I’m still ironing out the wrinkles before drafting it. Some of that has to do with genre.

I think it’s going to have a lot of contemporary elements.…[Read more]

@janellebelovedpig @whalekeeper

I looked at this and showed my sister, but I don’t think either of us will be doing it this year. My sister doesn’t feel ready to share the project she is typing up and her WIP she is writing on paper. I would also like to take a break from writing and focus on some other things.

@loopylin and @theshadow

Just wondering if either of you are still reading through TNPT: The Cost.

@stephie and @keilah-h

Are either of you going to be filling out the feedback document I provided earlier?

@stephie

I read your to-magic-or-n0t-t0-magic document and it seems to me that there are more reasons for including it than excluding it. At this point all you’ve got to do is evaluate whether or not the reasons for excluding spell images are so strong that they cancel out all of the numerous reasons to include it.

I dunno, it’s a hard cal…

@whalekeeper

You could maybe play off the fact that kentors naturally avoid confrontation. Although Tyn wants to face conflict directly, she might still be avoidant without realizing it.

Hey, that’s a good idea. There are already some inconsistencies in Tyn’s character that she is unaware of. This would fit her well.

I knew he wanted out of the…

@ellette-giselle

There are definitely some people even in Christian circles who use dating unwisely. I remember this one gal in my homeschool group who had an obsession with Twilight at 14. Yuckyyy, and unrealistic.

My parents allow me to date for several reasons. They believe it is wise to develop an intuition with guys before choosing one guy…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

YAY!!!!!! I’m so excited to hear feedback!!!!!!

I’m so glad the rescue worked! I wanted a Stephen story and a Daniel story. The Daniel ending may be more cliche, but it’s just as true as the Stephen one.

Yup, Peter is back. I know his whole story and I wish I could have had more of it in, but Joseph and the others only got to…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Finished it!

I’ll get to answering your feedback questions later. I may take a month to reread the story again first. (*Goes and steals all sections of the book so I can read them offline*).

But for now, here is some initial feedback on the last bit:

I think the climax and the build-up to it were well done. As cliche as rescue…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I’m just comparing the way I believe to the way the girls around me in my home school group act with the boys around me. You don’t have to agree.
