Great question!
First, let me try to think up a reasonable response…

Personally, I love it when the character is exactly my age, but because YA is such a broad age group, that rarely happens. From 12-18, it’s hard to find a happy medium for everyone in an age group.
So.
As far as I know, the characters I’ve read in YA have…[Read more]

Wow so many questions 🙂

@Shannon: I don’t have much of a preference, but recently I’ve liked Grace Vanderwaal’s music, and I often sing worship music.

@Elizabeth: Thanks 😀

@Daeus: I first got started when I took the Common Writing Assessment in 3rd grade, and the person who graded it gave me a perfect score. And I’ve been reading for…[Read more]

Sorry @kate-flournoy, I always get your tag wrong!

Alright. 🙂 @kate-flournoy

@kate-flournoy You there? Google doc?

First lemme tag everyone who participated @donyclark @kate-flournoy @charisetter @leumeister @cloudy @writefury.

Ok, I’ll try to make this short and sweet. Music videos are supposed to highlight two things: the artist and the song. Therefore, a good music video should make use of its cinematography and editing to highlight these two things.…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy, Thanks!

@kate-flournoy check this out! Another Texan! 😀

@Kate-flournoy, it’s got three halves?

@Warrioroftherealm, I like that you’re trying to avoid evolution. Does the uniqueness of this creature have an important role, or are you just trying to avoid fantasy cardboard cutouts? Because if the latter, why not just have a plain ordinary griffin? They’re rare and wonderful creatures, and don’t show up…[Read more]

The Great Platypus of Dragonkind…
If you ever write this into one of your books be sure to let me know! 🙂

My main concern was that the bird/lizard sort of mashup would hint at dinosaur to bird “evolution”. Maybe if I add some fur elements it would help…

Where art thou?

@kate-flournoy, ouch! Let us know how it goes! 🙂

@kate-flournoy

Thank you for the suggestions, and for taking the time to listen!

Hmm, I actually would like the conflict to come more from the present as a spy in this specific kingdom.

Umm, the ENTP guy is my main character. 🙂 So he is pretty major. As for character arc…I think I have some ideas. I don’t usually plan anything before I…[Read more]

Google doc? @kate-flournoy

I was gone, but now I’m back. Anyone here? @daeus @graiegirl @daughteroftheking @jane-maree @jess @kate-flournoy

@kate-flournoy You on?

@kate-flournoy

Thank you! That’s awesome! 😀 Great advice. “A spy doesn’t need a quiet personality. He just needs to trick everyone else into believing he is what he’s not.” I didn’t really think about that before, but it’s true. I guess I pictured spies more as having a quiet personality, blending in, more thoughtful, etc.
