I love your pitch!!

Things I like:

1. The whole concept of a “circus world” is fascinating (and getting trapped in one sounds like quite the predictiment ;P), so using that as a hook/attention-grabber worked well 🙂

2. It makes me as a reader want to “pick up the book” ’cause I’m concerned for Ara and November (like whatttt?? T…[Read more]

As soon as I saw this topic I had a rush of adrenaline, which very well demonstrates my passion for this topic.

100% classic–all the way

Before I dive into that, I do also really really enjoy modern fiction as well, but the messages are often unbiblical and the stories are too short/shallow. But I do find that modern authors do a really good j…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Whaaaat???!!

THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW

*runs to find it*

Gotta love sibling relationships, but that’s been mentioned enough already XD

Another one I really like (though it’s very specific) is the redeemed traitor type of relationship with the person/people they betrayed. Like when someone who betrayed a person/group comes back to their side with a lot of hesitancy and regret. There’s always a lot of…[Read more]

@lydia-s

You were extremely helpful!!! 😀

They really can be overwhelming! To be honest, I haven’t written for a week or so now 😬 😱 Life just got crazy!

Oooh, I totally get that. Sometimes a project has to be put off until you’re ready for it.

(hey, how close are you to China? I miscalculated and landed in Australia… again… but the…[Read more]

@power

Hey!!

Large casts of characters can totally work, and add a lot of depth to the story! The first book that comes to mind is the Silmarillion (which, if you’re a fan of complicated world-building, it’s a MUST READ). I honestly cannot remember HOW many characters are in that book (it is a fictional history book that spans hundreds–or…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Welcome!!!!! Glad to have you 🙂

Yep, it should be fun ;P

YES, that’s so true!!! My biggest struggle (well, one of them) in writing is gradually becoming more and more afraid of my WIP until I can’t even touch it. I dream big, then suddenly get overwhelmed with my vision for the project. So your advice does not go amiss with me! I reall…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Gotchaaa, it’s still a fun idea though ;P

@elishavet-pidyon

Yeah, it is a good book! Been a while since I read it 😉

Yesssss, I love those books that keep you up late. Though I don’t love them the next morning when I sleep till 10 and go about half asleep all-day XD

That’s true, there is! Exciting 🙂

Yep, it’ll be a ton of…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Thanks!! =)

YOU DID GET ME I THOUGHT THE FIRST PART WAS THE STORY XDXD

That’s such a cool idea!!!!!!!! Rapunzel being his daughter makes PERFECT sense too!

Did you ever write any of it?

@keilah-h

Gotcha 😉

@karissa-chmil

I can imagine XD

Will do!

Thanks so much for all your help!! =) =)

@elishavet-pidyon

Ohhhh, gotcha, I thought you were referring to the author of Ella Enchanted. Sorry for all the confusion ;P And, yes, I think it was The Lost Kingdom of Bamarre (not the lost princess, I got that mixed up)

Ooh, sounds cool!!

AWESOME; good…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

The author is Gail Carson Levine, right? (not sure I spelled that right XD). I’ve read two other books by her: The Lost Princess of Bamarre and The Two Princesses of Bamarre (I think those were the titles?? XD).

That’s true, she did a really good job taking a different approach to it!

Yesssss, go for it whenever you can!!…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

That’s so cool!! I’ve read works by Nadine Brandes; she’s an EPIC writer. I’ll look into it; thanks for the link!

Thanks so much for the advice! Looks like I’ve got some research to do ;P

@trahia-the-minstrel

Ooh, I love your ideas! Unfortunately, I’ve already written him as an old man who asked for the son… however, it WOULD be interesting to change the child to a girl (especially if I start having issues with the prince). I would love to see Rumpel interact with a little girl. So that is a possible rewrite to consider!

Hey, I…[Read more]

HEY, NOW I’M A WISE JESTER

*contemplates this new role*

@karissa-chmil

It really sounds like an intriguing story!! Honestly, I just get excited hearing about it XD. Be sure to let me know if you ever get it published ;P. Ooh, and have fun starting the first draft!! That’s one of the most exciting (and scariest and exhilarating and crazy) parts of writing.

Let me know if you remember it ;P. I could…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Gotchaaa, I can relate *has never finished a book in 8-ish years of writing* Still though, maybe you’ll come back to it in 5-10 years and write the whole series! XD You never know 😉

Hey, that was a cool gift idea, for them to publish it!! Let me know if it’s ever available!

For one, the whole “twysted tales” title is super…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Hey there, thanks so much for popping in!! =)

Ooh, I’ll look into those books!! I’ve honestly never read The Goose Girl or heard of the Steadfast Tin Soldier, so the Cinderella one might be the only one whose retelling I understand XD

Thanks so much for the recommendations!!!!!! I love fairytale retellings, but I’ve not read as…[Read more]

@elanor

Ohhhh, gotcha, sorry XD

I hope it goes well!!
