@madelyn XD Yep! It’s both very exciting and slightly terrifying at the same time.
Let me know what you think when you do! And most definitely agreed.

Oh, goodness. XD Whoops.
*GASPETH* THAT’S BRILLIANT! WHOA, THAT’S SO COOL. 😍
Heheh, yep, drawing parallels is so much fun. The wolf in mind is the brother of Maid Marian, and since the girl’s name is Scarlet I had Will Scarlet play around with different last names before finally settling on Hunter and filling that role. . .…[Read more]

Aww, thank you! And I will. XP Planning to get it professionally edited next year. . . still not sure if I’ll be pursuing publication with it, but I haven’t ruled the idea out yet.

Yesssss, they’re amazing. It’s good! I don’t think I enjoyed it quite as much as Dust and Shadow, but it was still wonderful. And the cover is…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel XD I’m much more comfortable with most accents due to being bilingual, but then I accidentally throw something in there and my readers just go “WHOA WAIT WHAT”.
Thank you. <3
@annabelle Heheh, yep.

Awww, thank you! The connection was actually pointed out by a friend, and I latched onto it at once. I’m almost done outlining (just need to run it by some friends and get the chapters sketched out), and then I’ll plunge into the first draft. 😀
Mhm! I feel like I’ve read something recently that had to do with Rumpelstiltskin, but I’m…[Read more]

Karissa Chmil replied to the topic What come to you first? Plot or Characters? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years ago
Ooh. . . interesting question. Honestly, it’s probably the plot – which I find a bit strange, since my writing is so character-driven.
I think that I usually start with just a whisper of a plot, but then the characters develop much quicker than the plot – like they need that tiny whisper to bring them to life before they can take the…[Read more]

Karissa Chmil replied to the topic Fairytale Retellings in the forum Genre-Writing 4 years ago
Ooh, sounds exciting! Fairytale retellings are awesome. 😀
My current WIP is actually a fairytale retelling, so let me summarize that real quick as I’ll likely be drawing on that a lot in this answer. . .
It’s a novella that draws on the what-if of if the shared last name between Robin Hood and Little Red Riding Hood was no accident at…[Read more]
