“What do you believe is one of the most important elements of a good story?”
For me, it’s characters. A book can have the most interesting, plot-twisty, and exciting story, but if the characters aren’t any good… I’m out. And vise versa, if a story is pretty basic and cliche, but it has awesome, well-developed, and life-filled characters, I’m…[Read more] -

Cool! I’ll be putting it on my to-read list for sure.

I’m a bit late to the party, but I analysed three pieces altogether, randomly picked from my current WIP and my last WIP. For the two pieces from my current WIP, I got James Joyce (who I’ve never read) and Stephen King (who I’ve also never read, but I’ve seen enough snippets of his to say, yeah fair I guess). and then the snippet from the older…[Read more]

I liked the first book in the space trilogy. It had some pretty interesting worldbuilding. I didn’t read the other two. My older brother told me the third wasn’t good. I don’t know why I didn’t read the second. 😛
Yes, I just found Only the Brave, a musical about the British gliders preparing for the D-Day invasion, and the Fren…[Read more]

I haven’t heard of MaryLu Tyndall, but I just looked her up and her books sound fun. 🙂 Have you read any of Rafael Sabatini’s books or seen any of the old 30s swashbuckling movies?
I’m doing great. 🙂
Have you read any good books lately?

Life insurance rules and regulations. My dad’s a financial planner, and I’m doing some work with the family business.
I’ve been wanting to ask you, what are some of your favorite swashbuckling novels/movies? (I assume you like the genre since you’re writing about pirates…?) 😛

Studying, mostly. Maybe some outlining too. What about you?

Hhmm… I’ve been looking for looking for some good new shows for my siblings and I to watch. From what you and @seekjustice said I may have to watch it.
I love stories that focus on the small simple things in life that get overlooked. What I’ve realized recently is that a story about someone trying to open up a successful pub…[Read more]

The Prestige is an awesome movie! I really enjoyed it.Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! It’s such a well made movie and I absolutely loved the book as well. But the movie, which I watched about six weeks ago, broke my eighteen month writers block and I started writing a…[Read more]

What’s the most recent book/movie you read/watched that has inspired you to write?
Well, if we’re going by recently, then it would have to be Avatar the Last Airbender. Yes, yes, I know it’s a kids show that was made like a decade ago, but I started watching it for the first time this month and I’m enjoying it way more than I ever anticipated.…[Read more] -

@jenwriter17, I would never take a long time to respond…heh heh heh
I’m glad you got some good feedback
Sadly no, though I have discovered that there is an Ever After musical, so I might hunt down that soundtrack sometime soon. Currently I am still obsessed with Newsies and The Clockmaker’s Daughter. How about you?

@jenwriter17, Cool! Editing is soooo much fun on a tight schedule. You had a professional editor look at it, right?
Thank you! I have both the 1st and 2nd draft open at once, and I realized that already the 2nd draft has a much darker, but more plot appropriate tone to it
