Hi, Madelyn!

I love a lot of those authors too! The knights of Arrethrae series made a huge impression on me when I was younger, especially Sir Dalton’s one.

I think your WIP sounds really cool!

I love the stories about royalty.

I love writing stories about royalty😂

This is the hook for my current MS:

Hi, Beth!

I also love fantasy, and write it. I don’t feel comfortable about writing Magic, so my stories don’t have magic either. (Yet. Maybe in the future…? Who knows.)

My top three favourite books series would be:

The Viking Quest series by Lois Walfrid Johnson

The Five-Find-Outers by Enid Blyton

The Snow White with the Red Hair manga…[Read more]

Hi, Elishavet!

Tráhia the Minstrel here.🙂 I think all your story ideas sound cool, but the one that makes me laugh is the fact that one of your worlds is called Eirtan, and I have a city in my book called Iertan.

It seems we have a similar bent in made-up names 😁

On a side note, I don’t suppose you could help me through the process of ge…[Read more]

Hi! I’m 18, and have been homeschooled all my life. 🙂

I think it’s epic what you said about writing clean fiction for kids — that’s exactly what I want to do in fantasy as well. My current project almost completed stemmed from the fact that I wanted to be able to have an epic fantasy story in the style of the anime I always heard my adult sibling…[Read more]

@anatra23

Thanks bro, what’s you swags status?

@power

Yeah, you wouldn’t want to know me now.

Now all I do is worry about my swag.

This quote gives me the kick I need to start writing everyday 😀

Here’s some epic quotes from Ryo from a story I wrote when I was 8. 

Why the story I wrote when I was 8, and not a more recent story? Well, 8 years was when I peaked. Ever since then, both my writing and my cuteness declined. My face is kinda like cryptocurrency sometimes. Meaning, it goes up in value, down in value, and Elon Musk wants to send…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Wow, I love that!  The dancing was really good!!  I’m super impressed, there’s no way I could do that XDDD

@joy-caroline

I really just second what everyone else is saying!! For me, it depends a lot on what genre it is and how the story ends. So for a fantasy novel, I’m gonna really highly consider a series since it’s common for the genre, but for my contemporary romance novel I’m writing, I’ve been going back and forth over if I want to do one or not.…[Read more]

@joy-caroline,

Oh, I’m sorry for the misunderstanding! I should have been more clear about that. I totally agree with you; some of the best historical/biblical fiction I’ve read has been in a series (The Viking Quest series by Lois Walfrid Johnson comes to mind). What I meant to say was that I don’t know if it would be the best idea to put what…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Basically what @elfwing said: do what you can comfortably do. If everything fits in a book, great! If it doesn’t, you can add another one, but be careful. Many sequels simply continue the plotline, but all books need to have a beginning, a middle, a climax, and a conclusion. There has to be a sense of satisfaction at the end of one…[Read more]

@sparrowhawke,

Yes, I totally agree with you on Motel of the Mysteries; it was hysterical! I haven’t read all the way through it yet, but I plan on it someday.

@kathleenramm,

I think that honor would have to go to What We Found In The Sofa and How It Saved The World by Henry Clark. I have only one word to describe that book: bizarre. Like,…[Read more]

@daisy-torres,

What was her YouTube name? (Yeah, I know, I’m supposed to be writing right now… oh well. Fifteen minutes late never hurt anyone :P)

Wow, that is so beautiful, @daisy-torres! Your friend did a phenomenal job! I’m gonna have to watch that again….
