@e-k-seaver Maybe the links the forum is finding sus? I’d try to post the links in a post below it.

I’m doing The Writer’s Conservatory! (It’s a three-year college alternative program that teaches students how to write well and on a deadline, how to publish independently and traditionally, and helps you start a small business) They count the program as a credit in English and a credit in business. 🙂

You’d think with how smart technol…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Oh, thanks for the recommendation! It’s so nice to see good relationships in novels.
I’ve never watched LOTR, but I’m a huge fan of it! Sam is just… *chef’s kiss* XD

@kathleenramm I feel like I usually plan for characters to be a little more reserved but they end up being more extraverted to keep the story moving along and the scene interesting, haha. I always need a bit more dialogue.

@joy-caroline

Oh, awesome! I’ll have to pop in and do that. Thank you so much for letting me know! 🙂 <333

@daisy-torres

Agh, yessss… I honestly can’t think of that many books that include siblings, let alone in a positive manner. Which is honestly very, very sad. :'(

@madelyn

Exactly! I’m hoping to be able to work my writing into this next school year. It would be a whole lot easier to stay in touch with my stories if I was required to and earned high school credits off of it. XD

Hahaha, I feel you!!! Apple maps is the same way, unfortunately. I guess Madagascar isn’t the worst place to end up, though.…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

How cool! I actually haven’t read anything from those authors yet. Hopefully, I can do that during my senior year. 🙂

@joy-caroline

Ooo, exciting!!! I’m probably too late to submit a question, but I hope you got a bunch. 🙂 I can’t wait to see where you take this novel, girl! <333

@daisy-torres

I’m going to echo what…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Ah, this is embarrassingly late, but here I am anyway! 😉

My drafting process is a bit odd. Generally, I know how the story begins, and I know how the story or even series ends. Random scenes from the middle pop into my head at random times, but most of it is pretty blurry. The story usually works itself out on its own. I just…[Read more]

@madelyn

You and me both, girl!!! I haven’t sat down to write for… oh, a few months now… 😬 Most of my writing happens during spare moments on my phone. If I’m writing on my computer, it’s usually for school. 🙁 Hopefully, that will change here soon. 🙂

So I’m not the only one who’s gotten lost! I’ve ended up in Madagascar several times…[Read more]

@lydia-s Nice, nice! I’m quite in love with Steinbeck and Dostoyvesky, throw in some Ray Bradbury and Dickens here and there, and there are so many more titles I’ve been meaning to read. Your literature program sounds fun! I’ve been meaning to take one at some point, haha.

@elishavet-pidyon

Oh my goodness, YES!!!!! The way he twisted the Bible made me so mad… Like you said, I wanted to throttle him. *facepalm*

Those are all really good points! I agree that Rochester wasn’t ready for marriage until he’d changed (Side note: their reunion was incredibly sweet). St. John certainly contrasted him! Honestly, I reall…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Yeah, I’m a big fan of the classics! I take a pretty intense literature program, so I get to read a lot of them. 🙂 Some of the ones we’ve read this year are Don Quixote, Paradise Lost, Frankenstein (that was quite the book), and Robinson Crusoe. Last year, we did Shakespeare (among other stuff, including The Once and Fut…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Usually I write a beginning, and then I start working on an outline/plot/characters, and usually after I have the outline for all the chapters done, or most of them, enough to keep me busy for a while, I just starting writing each chapter one by one.

@kathleenramm These days I can consume nothing but classic lit. I think when I was younger I found it boring but now I find modern lit lacking in depth and character and theme. Still, I prefer literature from the 1800’s and 1900’s, and maybe occasionally the 1700’s. Anything earlier I find, well, hard to read.

@lydia-s Any other books you’ve read lately? Or any other classic lit you enjoy?

@koshka

That’s awesome!!! I’ve only read Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion. Hopefully, someday I’ll get around to reading her other novels! 😀 (maybe I’ll listen to them… I’d probably get through them all faster that way… lol)

@madelyn

Agh, that makes me so happy!!! So glad I could be helpful. <3333

I know!!! WIPs can feel so overwhelming… I haven’t even gotten beyond daydreaming for my dream project bc I know it’s gonna be big and require a lot of mental maturity I’m not sure I’m ready for yet (Why I do this to myself, I have no idea…) So, yeah, I get it!

(And I…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

So glad there are other fans out there! *happy sigh* Jane is indeed a ton of fun!

@trahia-the-minstrel

I agree, Jane and Mr. Rochester have a SUPER sweet relationship. (He cracks me up with his snarky comments… Add her spunk into the mix, and oh boy, don’t things get fun! XD) I think my favorite part of the novel if eit…[Read more]
