Awww, you’re so sweet! You don’t have to worry about being too sappy, this has been a crazy year (My dad also got laid off), But I agree that this forum has been a such great outlet. (Who knew there were so many cool christian writers?)
Man, there are so many things that I’m thankful for when it comes to writing. But If I’m to only…[Read more]

Cassie & Isaac both want the money, but they end up with each other 😂 #writershavemorefun
Would your character rather be a slave or the only non-magic user in a magical world?

Hello! Hello!
I am (yet another) homeschooler, a couple years older than you, and- wait, did you mention LotR AND Percy Jackson?! You have impeccable taste. LotR is… well, LotR. And Percy Jackson has had a special place in my heart since I was ten. What book are you on? And do you have a favorite character?
I too love to write…[Read more]

That’s awesome!!
Well, I’m in the idea stage right now, still coming up with cool stuff for two different book ideas:Â fantasy, and thriller/post-apocalyptical. 😊Â The basic premises are a little challenging to come up with now, but I can try:
#1–fantasy:Â The cultures in this are based off of the ancient Viking, Roman, Eg…[Read more]

1st section:
1)Â I like the opening sentence 😉
2)Â In the second paragraph, I think it would flow better if you shortened some of the sentences by omitting unnecessary words/details or splitting the sentences into two sentences
3)Â “The loud whirring of the distant, useless generator

Hey!! I was thinking I could look through each post if you wanted me to and proofread each separately (so I don’t write all the changes in one long post). Sound good?

Would your character rather be able to have extreme jumping skills or be able to maneuver every maze?
Isa:Â maneuver every maze

New question:
Would you rather go on a cruise on the fjords in Norway or go to the Caribbean?

Well, the saying did come from Chinese characters so that makes sense.
Now it makes a bit more sense that the plots were the same. XD
Just curious, if you had to write a fairytale retelling which fairytale would you choose?

For me it’s character and settings. The character bit is pretty obvious I think, I get invested in the characters and they’re the ones that make me really enjoy the story. But next to that, I really love settings and worlds! It’s an amazing feeling reading a book that really delves into the worldbuilding, whether that be fantasy,…[Read more]

Oof. Yes. Disappointing endings are no stranger to me.
There’s actually a Korean expression to describe stories that start out really awesome but end badly. The literal translation is, “the head of a dragon and a tail of a snake.” My siblings and I use this expression a lot unfortunately. XD
