Like I said it’s first draft so there are repeated word choices like utter shock XD

@scoutfinch180

Kaunon has been into a lot of scrape and survived by the skin of his teeth, the scares are from fire battles and a nasty sand dragon that tried to eat him and when that didn’t work it tried to crush him 😂

here is the meeting of Alinnas parents

Gaol kept flying north, and after a few hours of steady flight, passed the m…

Kaunon has gotten into many scrape and mostly to save dear little Alinna and both of them get into trouble… they’re royals kids, they have little experience with real life outside their homes… the ones you n his face are from protecting Alinna and his friends from a nasty dragon/monster

@godlyfantasy12 I don’t really have much to say, but I have a couple of movies to suggest for @gracie-j .

1) Knives Out. It’s a murder mystery that came out recently, I’d give it a strong PG-13 for language and stuff, but I really enjoyed watching it.

2) Batman Begins. Mm yes this one doesn’t have that much of a transition but it’s pretty g…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I’ve read other Star Wars books; mainly movie adaptions. There’s this one adaption of The Attack of the Clones that I really liked as a kid.

@kathleenramm

Ohhh I love Secret Garden, it’s a lovely book! I should read it again! Who’s your favourite character? I love the robin redbreast.

Children of Hurin is worth the read when you have time! for most people i know who have said that it’s intimidating it’s usually the writing style; it’s like reading an old history textbook for fun.…[Read more]

@joy-caroline That music is epic! I’m in a bit of writer’s block right now, but maybe that will help. Fingers crossed…

@godlyfantasy12

This guy sounds fascinating!  His backstory is awesome, and he sounds like a genuine character.  For likeability, you could:

1)  Give the MC and Ridley something in common (a hobby, a genre of music, a favorite food, etc)

2)  like @elfwing said, moments of vulnerability.  That would make the reader open up to him really fast…[Read more]

Ah, sorry I never responded to this! *facepalms* My schedule is so busy lately and I forget everything so my apologies. :O Yes, that music is a.m.a.z.i.n.g. and I appreciate you sharing it!! It will be super helpful for my upcoming scenes!! 😀 Thank you! Oh yes, Religion is such a great class! Yup, I’m also taking American h…[Read more]

sorry it keeps eating my reply, so if you get like, five responses you can blame the website i guess? XD

@godlyfantasy12 well… it’s good from what you’ve described and I agree with @gracie-j

Anyways, I’m no expert by any means, but here are things I’ve used for my antagonist

(So maybe have scenes with him being open with Jocelyn at…[Read more]

@scoutfinch180 Hi! Thanks for the input. I’ll see how I can improve it for sure! 🙂 I’m not really into emotional scenes of this kind but these two have a special relationship, so I wanted to add it. And this is the first draft which is why there may be repeating words, and thank you for mentioning that as I sometimes forget that kind of stuff X…[Read more]

@maryg3 Hi, Mary!!! 😀 That’s AWESOME that you’re going to start a blog!!!!!!!!!! You’ll LOVE it!!!!! Blogs are so much fun and a great way to connect with your readers!!!! For pages, definitely a home, about, and contact. If you want a separate “blog” page you can, or you can make your home page your blog page (which is what I do). You can get…[Read more]

@kathleenramm oh man good question! I haven’t actually sat down and read a book in months. I’ve been busy with moving across the country and renos and now moving again XD

I’ve listened through the Hobbit and LOTR several times in the last year in audiobook. The last book I actually held in my hands and read was Children of Hurin. Man, that is a…[Read more]

@gracie-j ok! good to know XD, thanks!

@kathleenramm I know you said most recent, but looking at my books, I’m going to go with the third most recent book I read, Lost Stars by Claudia Gray.

It’s a Star Wars book I bought ages ago but never got around to. Glad I finally did, though. I liked how it was slightly cleaner than most YA out there. I did not like how I failed to see that…[Read more]
