For those who guessed my last one, #3 was a lie; I’ve never got lost in mountains. I’ve never even seen real mountains. 🙁

Welcome, @r-e-p …about a week late. *winces* I’m not on here as much as I used to be. And yes! I am not longer the oldest person on here. 😉 I’m 22…I think there are two or three older writers on the forum, but not many. 😀

I love Mr. Smith goes to Washington too, @emma-flournoy. Then there is the Princess Bride. And I love Pixar’s A Bug’s Life. I love most of Pixar’s movies, except Brave and then The Good Dinosaur. That one was just weird. I also really like Epic…the movie with the little forest people and such. Has anyone seen that? So cute.

@christi-eaton Ooo, I love The Ghost of a King! And Sirens too, though I need to watch it more closely because I’ve only caught bits and pieces since I was working while listening to it.

Just one favorite movie? I like a number of movies. Inkheart is one I really like because of the writer’s humor and the whole idea of meeting characters. I really like Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies too because…Middle Earth.

I like TV shows too. Sherlock is one of my favorites, because of all the hints and foreshadowing and yet you…[Read more]

Okay, sounds like a bit of both. It might be helpful for you to take a step back and examine the plot points from a bird’s eye view. What I mean is, if you are getting stuck while doing the 450 words at a time, it might be that you need to see how everything is weaving together. Some people do this by writing the overall…[Read more]

@Daeus, where is the “that’s perfect” button? Very well said.

@warrioroftherealm, where are you in the editing process? I.e. are you making large story edits or copy editing? Also, what do you hope will be different about the edited book from the current draft?

@kate-flournoy (love that pic of the dragon by the way, lol!), @dragon-snapper, and @sarah-h, thank you all so much for your very positive feedback! It is nice to hear when we are doing well. Would you mind to take a second to let me know what parts of the website you use most often? (Also, just because I wear a mask and spandex, that does not…[Read more]

This didn’t happen in my own family, but there was one brother who pulled out a razor and informed his younger brother that it was ‘for getting the hair mom missed’ and then proceeded to cut out chunks of hair. And the family didn’t figure out until the next day…Sunday.

@jess Well, it depends what you mean by terrible. I had a brother drop his spoon in the dirt, then lick it off to get it clean.

I had another brother who cut a branch half way off a tree, then tied a rope to said branch, tied the other end to his bike, and rode as hard as he could. The rope jerked tight, throwing him off his bike, and then he…[Read more]

@aella Well, I’ve not made any for awhile. I made over a hundred awhile back and now I have them on Pinterest and just keep using them. 😉

@aella Yes, I made the prompt collages with pictures from pinterest. 😉

I love Halt, and I really like Gilian and Horace and Will. I don’t care for the books themselves as much as I used to though. There is so much telling and the character’s are fairly one-dimensional. *bites lip* “glances to either side* *loosens dagger and prepares to defend self from outraged lovers of the books* I do like the stories…well, most…[Read more]

I’ve not been posting here, @daeus, @kate-flournoy, @emma-flournoy, but I’ve been following this conversation and enjoying it immensely, even though I only understand half of it. 😉

Blogging is quite fun. I like to blog about the writer’s life (me…because I’m so fascinating), my own works in progress, writing scenes, prompts…about anything I want to do. I blog at https://authorhopeann.com/

@Rebelutoinary I read Do Hard Things when I was younger and I loved it! And I love The Wingfeather Saga! I’ve not read the Ilyon Chronicles yet, though I want to as soon as I can buy the books…

As for bestistest…that is one of those things I hardly know anymore. I think someone made it up and now it’s something of a competition about who can…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper Congratulations! It’s exciting being able to see progress and reach goals. 😀
