@lewilliams This is such a cool idea! But, sadly, I am taking a break from writing for a bit to avoid burnout after all I did during the year. But I’ll tag a bunch more people for ya 🙂

Hey there! You sound like a fascinating person! I’d love to hear more about your mechanical engineering and your woodworking? What sort of things do you make? I really want to get into leather working but I’ve never tried doing any sort of woodwork. and bookbinding obviously sounds awesome!

Who are some of your favourite authors?

@godlyfantasy12 OOH! That is very interesting!

@devestate-lasting

I used Microsoft Word for years. I eventually stopped using it because, turns out, Word doesn’t like 100,000 plus words, which is fair. It’s still a great program and I use it for writing articles, short stories and essays.

For my novels, I now use Scrivener. Like Jenna said, it’s not free but it’s 100% worth the money, and…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Absolutely barking mad.

I think that pretty much sums it up??

Lol, but seriously. I think I would say Passionate, Obsessive, and Distractible. I am very passionate and I often use writing as my tool for bringing awareness to things that upset me, or things that make me really happy. I would like to think both my process and my…[Read more]

I’ve got mixed feelings on this and I think a lot of it has to do with different cultures and subcultures. For example, in Australia cursing is very prevalent and especially in my subculture (rural, farmers and dog trainers) it is even more so. Therefore I grew up hearing a lot of swearing (though my parents didn’t swear) and I’m not…[Read more]

@gracie-j Thank you for that rousing welcome!

@kathleenramm

It’s my little love letter to British mythology (which in turn inspired my article for this month). I’m keeping the main premise under wraps for now, but basically its about two brothers who are living in a fantasy world that was ruled by the Dark Lord for centuries, before he was…[Read more]

@gracie-j Exactly!

@gracie-j YES, I totally agree! It takes away from the story…

@gracie-j Personally, I don’t feel comfortable reading or writing books with curse words in them (but I’m usually fine with things like “crap” or something). I understand some authors writing for the secular market might use curse words, maybe for a specific character that it seems fitting for; I guess it’s just up to the individual to figure out…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting I would recommend Scrivener, but that’s not a free software. Hmm…I use Google Docs quite a bit as well, which has worked out pretty well.

@dekreel

A Time to Die wasn’t as good as Fawkes in my opinion, but it was her first published book and she obviously grew a lot. Over all, it wasn’t really my favourite, but I’d still like to read the sequels because I did like Parvin quite a bit.

@seekjustice  Good to see you!! Hey, I’ve only read two as well. 😉 How was Time to Die? I would like to read that in the near future.

@dekreel

Hello there! It’s been ages since I’ve seen you!

Shamefully, I’ve only read A Time to Die and Fawkes, I really enjoyed them both, but I still need to read the rest of the trilogy and Romanov!

@godlyfantasy12 *heart eyes* This is so awesome! Thanks so much for putting it together! 😀

@kathleenramm

I would be good friends with most of my main characters I think, though the more like me they are, the less I would get along with them :/ Which may be slightly concerning.

However, I definitely would get along very well with the main character of my current novel though. He’s heavily based on my own brother (who may or may not be…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Here are some ideas (not sure if they’re good or not):

• Write a scene where your character is old and goes back in time to visit their past self at some point in your story (that may have been confusing)
• Write a scene from your book but in a side character’s POV
• Pretend you’re one of your characters for a day (do as they do,…

Hello there! I’m Chelsea/SeekJustice, and I’m also twenty, so I guess we can be old together 😛

Ooh, Harry Potter! I only just started reading them (I’m finally up to the Half-Blood Prince) because my mum wouldn’t let me read them when I was younger since she was never a fan of how dark the last few books were (she was an adult when…[Read more]

Hello there! I’m Chelsea/SeekJustice, one of the writing interns on the site. I hope  you’ve enjoyed your time here so far!

I see you like musicals? I also very much like musicals. Not to be basic or anything, but Les Miserables is definitely my favourite.

I love your list of books! During my early teens I was obsessed with Warr…[Read more]
