How many sibling duos have I written? Oh boy, here we go …
*rubs hands together while chuckling*
So, I have a pair of fraternal twins in my current WIP, a girl and boy. (The boy is one of my main POVs.) Then I also have a pair of side characters who are brothers — I think they’re some of my favourite to write. Then my other main…[Read more]

Ooo! I love that too! In fact, I have such a duo in my book series … and they’re also estranged brothers. They’re like the two most boss warriors in the land!

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin and @devastate-lasting
You guys like Super Smash Bros too? And Zelda Breath of the Wild?
Yay! I love both those games!
A bunch of different anime too. I recently binged K-On.

I once said something innocently that sounded like something completely else. I probably shouldn’t tell the whole story, but basically I was 13, all my adult siblings were in the room, and I said something that was meant to be encouraging but all of them took it in a more … *ahem* kind of way.
One of my older brothers laughed so har…[Read more]

Hi! I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Tráhia the Minstrel, here on the forum.
Yeah, I think those are some of the reasons I like writing bromances too.
Nice to meet you!

I love sibling relationships — I’m particularly fond of brother-brother relationships. Which is kinda funny, seeing as how I’m a girl.😂 I did have to two brothers, though, so it’s not like I have no experience in seeing this relationship play out. I also know a lot of brother-brother pairs in my friend group.
But yeah, I really…[Read more]

It sounds like you’re writing epic fantasy — correct if I’m wrong — but if so having a larger cast isn’t bad. Read Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series if you want to see a huge cast handled magnificently.
However, I would probably recommend that you keep the number of main protagonists to 3 or at the max 5 — just remember that…[Read more]

I’ve read Jane Eyre, I own both the actual book and the manga classic edition. I enjoy the story lots! Jane is a great character, and her relationship with Mr. Rochester is so sweet … and I loved the part at the start with her and Helen, as well. Made me quite sad/touched when I first read it.
St. John kinda annoys me, tho…[Read more]

This literally happened to me a few minutes ago.
I was being silly, and holding my Mum’s morning tea muffin aloft on a plate like Rafiki holds up Simba, while chanting The Circle of Life. I caught Mum’s attention as I held said plate aloft with two hands, and she gave me look like — as said by Adrian Plass — I’d announced a pig was d…[Read more]

Okay, y’all, so I recently finished my YA fantasy novel.
*cues the high-pitched screams*
But my next project is a middle-grade novel featuring a 12-year-old MC who gets herself into all sorts of scrapes.
The problem is, I’m not naturally a humorous writer. It’s something I’m trying to work on in this story, true, but a very not funny writer…[Read more]

Thank you!
Thanks! Yes, I’ve had some people (most people) tell me my names are impossible to pronounce. I think I need to include a pronunciation guide at the start of the book. XD.
I’m sorry to hear about the tragedy. I pray that God gives you healing in this troubled time.

What if Rumplestiltskin wasn’t an old man? What if he was a younger man? What if it was a woman named Rumplestiltskin? What if he asked for a firstborn daughter instead of a son?
Just throwing ideas, please feel free to ignore all of them. I just find what if questions fun.😊
