Whoops actually nine geniuses. I changed it!

Just when he has his sights set on college, his parents suddenly die in an accident. Leroy is ripped away from his familiar life and shipped to a secretive school called Eximus on a mysterious island.

Leroy learns that the…[Read more]

Thanks for the book shout-out (The Journal Is Important)! I hope you enjoy my series. Have you read the last one yet, The Rookie Has A Mission? I haven’t even ordered my author copy yet. I’ll do that…eventually…

By the way, the journal is important. Somewhat. Just wanted to let you know. Just in case the title made it unclear. XD

That sounds like a scary situation! Since I first published this post, Clyde has since plummeted toward the ground far below (and technically, he’s still plummeting since I haven’t written past that).

I don’t know much about rock climbing (I’ve read up on it, but I’ve never actually climbed anything besides a climbing wall), and I’m writing a scene in which a character falls off of the side of the cliff he is scaling and gets seriously injured. I want to make sure I’m writing it correctly, so if anyone knows from experience rock climbing…[Read more]

I tagged “Gollum” in my reply to this post; I guess that’s why it’s showing up!

The person insists that we eat at a place that primarily serves raw food, mostly fish. As I wait at a table, I slowly…[Read more]

This is such a cool idea! I have self-published my first book this year on Amazon. It’s a children’s book targeted to ages 9-12 called Memory Lane Was Moved. Here is the description:

When eleven-year-old Travis wakes up in a strange room with no memory, he embarks on an adventure of a lifetime. Teaming up with Sadie and her older…[Read more]

Sure, that would be great!! Though, I would rather not post my email on a public forum if that’s the way to get it.

Is Freddy and Friends your book?

That is so encouraging! I love it when I hear that people got my book! Last I checked, I’m not meeting my download goal today😥

@seekjustice @kathleenramm @erinramm @morwen @michelle @merieshenanigans @alia

Well, it finally happened! My book is now available for free on Amazon for five days. Tell your friends or anyone who has a 9-12 year old looking for some new reading material!

Well, my book has been released! However, I discovered that I couldn’t started my free-book promotion until tomorrow. So, for today, my book is 2.99. But it will be free starting tomorrow!

Second, you aren’t Team Captain America😱?? Noooo!! Actually, in the last movie, I felt so let down that he was an old man. It didn’t seem right. Captain America can never be an old man! It is weird he went to live in another time, but I am kind of glad because he really didn’t belong…[Read more]

Also, if you just write down your story, really following the train of your thought and not…[Read more]

@kathleenramm, I’ve just been listening to the Narnia radio dramas by Focus on the Family again! They are so well done!

So, what kinds of filmmaking does everyone do? What kinds of films would you like to make in the future?

Some advice: making a documentary is so fun. You should try it! I made one last year on a theatre camp I had the privilege to be a part of. It was very cool to model my work…[Read more]

I’ve been writing short stories for three or four years for a school curriculum. Some advice that I have found helpful is to limit your stories to a small concept (a trip to the story, a visit with friends). Try to really flesh out the details. A helpful thing to do is to read a chapter from a children’s book (the kind where each chapter…[Read more]

Hi!

Thanks for the kind comment! I am publishing it as an ebook on Amazon. It took about two years to write. I actually sent one draft of the first chapter to a bestselling author, Andrew Clements, who wrote back to say that it made him want to read more! That was very encouraging, but unfortunately Mr. Clements died shortly after.

“Bob the Baby was walking along. Then, he jumped on somebody’s head.” Bob the Baby was a character I made up.

I have a book that I filed with the others that goes like this:

(Title) Who ate the grapes?

One day there was a girl who saw grapes.

She ate the grapes.

And she walked away from the grapes.

And she sat on the…[Read more]

What I mean is, my first books were written by my mom but dictated by me at about three years old. They were stapled together sheets of paper with hand-drawn illustrations. I read them sometimes, and I’m not sure if I quite follow the storyline…especially because some of the words probably aren’…[Read more]

I’ve been writing before I really could write.

I think I started writing when I was three or four, before I could really put the words down myself. 🙂 I dictated to my mom.

Where are you publishing your book?

My name is Emily, and I am publishing a book this week!  It is called “Memory Lane Was Moved”. I will post more about it soon. I would love it if people will take advantage of the free book promotion that I will be doing the first five days that my book is published! Thanks and write on!
