Thank you! Yep! Ah, cool! I’ve never seen The Last Airbender. I should give it a try. 😉 Um, I guess, lol. I’m not sure but it sounds like it. XD Ooh, that’s cool! I bet it was fun!
So, the powers are hereditary. And because there is a lot of prejudice and hate between each country, families have stayed in the same country for…[Read more]

Sorry it took so long to write back (I’m in the process of moving cross country). I have never heard of any of those words, Omphalophobia is hilarious! I love finding about phobias- I found a few ones.
Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter
Coulrophobia- Fear of clowns
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia- Fear of long…[Read more]

Thank you so much! That helps a lot. I think changing it through her eyes would make it a whole lot better. Also describing her family, is something I was struggling on, also writing who the Walton’s were. After I make some edits and add on i’ll post it again. You have helped so much! Thank you!! 😀

Hi! I’m trying to write a book that I have had the idea for, for sooooo long. And every time I try to start it, I always find something wrong with it. Can you give me your feedback on this first rough draft? I’ts the first little bit of chapter one after the prologue and I personally think its to busy, but I really would like some other p…[Read more]

Girl, I love that the magic in your story comes from God. That’s how I’m doing it in my story as well. 😀 It’s almost as if exploring the question, “What if God created the world to work and be like this?” Anyway, I love how you’re doing it in your story world and magic system!
Wow, that’s so cool that you have a…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom Cool forum topic!
Your magic system sounds so cool!!! 😀 I love that it has a chemistry base//chemistry inspiration!
For my current fantasy novel, the magic system is kind of like “powers.” I guess a better way of putting that is that the characters have magical abilities. Depending on what country they’re from determines what…[Read more]

Also everyone (Sorry to chat so much) 😀 but I was wondering if you would want to (You defiantly don’t have to if you don’t want to ) But I’m writing a historical fiction book and could you just read over it and see if it pulls you in, if you can see it , if it sound real and other things like that! Thanks!

Your really good at description! I just love – Ami melted under the gaze of Ev’s chocolate brown eyes.” “Ev searched her emerald green eyes, trying to understand what she was thinking. Its super sweet!

That little piece of writing you shared is so good! I like how it paints a picture of what the main character is seeing! Here’s a piece of my writing that I wrote recently, it may seem not very exciting- but it is part of a book based off a nightmare I had and it is pretty creepy so I’ll just stick with this 😀
I walked…[Read more]

Another word that just popped into my head is “Somnambulism” which is basically a fancy word for sleepwalking, but it sound more exciting 😀
Also does anyone here know anything about describing people? Do they do it all in one place or do they spread it all throughout the chapter or whole book? I spread it out usually, but then think its better…[Read more]

That is an amazing description!! It defiantly would pull the reader in. I love the description of the blanket, It’s kind of sad and happy at the same time 🙂

@godlyfantasy12I
I have a whole book on crazy words (that I can’t get to at the moment) but I’ll have to share a few on here!
Oooh, great! I’m excited to see some! Also, yes I do love to write description but either I feel like I write to much so that it bores the reader or to little so no one knows what I’m writing about 🙂

That’s a good idea! Thanks! I also really like those words,especially jocular, gregarious and magnanimous . I’m going to try to add them into my book!

I just pulled out a “Novel” I wrote a couple years ago based off a dream I had and as I was skimming through it I realized that I needed way more description and bigger words (I felt like I was using the same ones over and over and over …..) And I keep re-reading my current books and realize how much more description I could put in! Does anyone…[Read more]

Wow! What an amazing magic system you have! That is so creative and would be so much fun to read about! Unfortunately my WIP does not have any magic in it, but who knows maybe someday… 🙂 I think the only other magic books I’ve read, were all the Harry Potters which I loved. I think what drew me in was the great description.…[Read more]

Oooh! I love Anne of green gables also! Have you read all 8? I have and I love them sooooo much! There also my first favorite right now, but as soon as I read or re-read another series it changes 🙂 Which one is your favorite? I really cant decide.
