I’m doing great.

Trying to finish reading Jen’s book as fast as possible since I’m late getting back to her. 😉

What about you?

@gracie-j

Hey there!  How’s it going?

@gracie-j @devastate-lasting @scoutfinch180 @seekjustice @godlyfantasy12

It’s really fun to see how each of us likes to describe our writing process. And although we each have our own unique spin on the three words, there’re also a lot of interesting similarities. As Gracie pointed out, we all tend to procrastinate, get distracted easily, be…[Read more]

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]

I’d been friends with everyone my MC hates which is everyone except like three people. XD

@gracie-j

I find curse words, jarring, unnecessary, and just brings down the overall enjoyment of the book. Like @jenwriter17 mentioned, I totally don’t mind a book saying “he cursed” especially if that particular character is the kind of person to do so, but I instantly get put off if there’s actual curse words in it. I’m not sure why, but all I…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I’ve been hearing so much about that series!

What about them inspired you? The characters, the world, the theme, etc. I love hearing peoples thoughts and feeling about books.

Do you like the originals or the re-writes better? I’ve been wanting to read them, but I’m not sure which version to start with.

@gracie-j

I’m in the middle many different WIP, so my brains telling me, “focus on finishing what you’ve started Kat” but then my heart is like, “Ey, it’s ’bout time we set off on the roaring seas! Join hands with  MGPN!”

Well, a Pirate novel may or may not have started simmering in the back. And you’re right it does look like jolly fun. XD Oh,…[Read more]

@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!

@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]

@scoutfinch180

I always hear about people being inspired by C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, but rarely do I get to hear about books that have inspired them! I’m definitely going to have to check Phantastes out. I love books that execute symbolism well, and also the original books where the cliches of today came from.

@iluvhim18

Hello Hello! It’s awesome to have you on the forum. 😀

Wow. It’s really cool that you started writing at such a young age. I started around 6 or 7, but only in the past few years have been consistent.

Who are some of your favorite authors? And does your sister read any of your writing

@aj_serene

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]
