I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading the first chapter of The Inventor’s Daughter! This is my first time asking for a critique so it’s pretty exciting! Let me know and I can share it by email. I would like it to be read before Friday afternoon if not that’s ok!

God bless!

As you can see by the title, I’m trying to start a Portfolio/Blog. I’m using Wix to host it. Does anyone have any tips or advice on making an engaging website, and what it should/shouldn’t include? Also, when you have a blog, I’ve read that you should stick to one topic, is that true?? Or can I write about anything I think people would…[Read more]

So I’ll share mine first!

MC is Dylan, who is stubborn, quiet, and strong-willed.  A little self-protective.  Lmk if his dialogue fits his personality.

Hi Ilena! Welcome to the forum! I’m Lydia. 🙂

Ooo, your WIP sounds super cool! Do you have dragons in it?

Actually, I completely agree with you about Tolkien! He was a genius. I enjoy Shakespeare as well! I’ve only read six of his plays (and I watched Henry V); maybe I’ll read more someday! By Lloyd Alexander, do you mean you’ve…[Read more]
