@acancello Yesss, the Little Women trilogy is the best! I actually thought Jo’s Boys was another name for Little Men the first time I saw it and didn’t pick it up because of that. XD I know I’m probably not supposed to ask this question, but I’m going to anyhow. 😇 Do you have a favorite of those three?
Also, have you ever read any of Jennifer…[Read more]

*sneaks in with confetti* I am horrid at titles, but – @light-warrior-pen! Congrats! *throws confetti and offers cake* That’s a huge accomplishment. Fantastic work! 🥳 *slinks back away from title talk*

“Misery, misery! Readers won’t kill us, nice readers-“
Adapted Gollum quotes aside, I think you can outrage your readers without cheating them. Both can happen in a character’s death, and cheated readers very often are outraged. 😛 But you can reasonably outrage a reader without them feeling cheated.
If you truly build up your character (and it…[Read more]

Yes, I am responding two months late… I’m so sorry!
Hey! I’m doing well! 😀 I joined The Author Conservatory in January, and that has been beyond amazing! The novel I’m working on for that is a retelling of the story of Gideon but with pirates. 😉
How are you? What have you been working on?

(Note: This is probably going to be long. XD)
I’m going to take a theological approach to this at the beginning. Scripture says two things on the state of man: (1) Man was created in the image of God, as seen in Genesis 1:27, and (2) man has fallen short of the glory of God and no longer upholds that image as he should, as seen in Romans…[Read more]

Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin started the topic I Have Returned in the forum Announcements 1 year, 9 months ago
A fortnight ago, by happenstance, I stumbled back upon my old, abandoned village here in the Kingdom of Pen. As I gazed upon the empty landscape, run-down buildings, and the sun sinking into the horizon, something wasn’t quite right. In fact, there was something terribly wrong. The same feeling you get when you go on a roadtrip, and then wonder…[Read more]

Karissa Chmil replied to the topic What is a good character ☠️ Death ☠️ in the forum Characters 1 year, 10 months ago
Not gonna lie, I read the title of this forum as “What is a good character? Death.” and had to take multiple double-takes. XDBut yes, great thoughts, everyone. XD I’m just going to lurk in the shadows and watch, since everyone’s said what I’d say (especially @gwyndalf-the-wise – lovely list, lovely list).

Ahhh, congrats! *throws confetti* This looks amazing! (Wix all the way, in my opinion – I’ve heard that WordPress is great if you’re doing a blog, but I managed to do one on Wix with no problems, and the website design features on Wix are so much easier to use. xD)
