@kaya-young Sorry I didn’t reply sooner.  The reason was kinda because I haven’t been doing much reading lately and had to think back a while to figure out what books to mention. *covers face in shame* *peeks out* But…

I recently introduced my grandmother to the author Isabella Alden.  If you haven’t heard of her, you may have heard of her n…[Read more]

@ashlyvye Hello!  And welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!  ( @kaya-young There!  I got to say it right. 😀 )

So…you like Marvel.  I don’t know as much about Marvel as I do about DC – which isn’t much either. 😀  But most of the movies and tv shows I watch are from 1965 and back.  The classics.  The oldies.  Do you ever watch an…[Read more]

@kaya-young Back in December I read, To Kill a Mockingbird, for the first time, and I really really enjoyed it. It was one of my favorites of the entire year. I don’t know why I didn’t read it sooner! 🙂

I also read, Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale. It’s a Grimm’s fairytale re-telling, and it was surprisingly good! Shannon Hale is a great…[Read more]

@destiny Since the tags didn’t work, I’ll re-tag everyone:

@kaya-young (her tag might have worked…) @aislinn-mollisong @dekreel (Also might have worked) @daughteroftheking @ingridrd @his-instrument

Hi @destiny Your post isn’t showing up, so I’m reposting after copying it from my email:

I have a few characters that I need help naming for one of my fantasy series…

Well, technically I have two entire armies of nameless characters for this se…

@ariella-newheart  Good question! I have struggled with the exact same thing in my KPA (that’s Kapeefer Adventure, sort of like the LOKD). I guess it depends on the series: How long it is, and when and where your MC(s) are traveling. If you have to put in all your recurring characters, you could either alter the characters so they fit each scene,…[Read more]

@kaya-young  Good topic idea! Let’s see…. The most recent thing I can think of is Shakespeare’s play, Richard III. I haven’t read Act 5, though, so no spoilers X)

@kaya-young wow, this books sounds cool! *goes to check it out on Goodreads*

most of my reading lately has been for school, but…..

I just finished A Time to Die, by Nadine Brandes. (warning: mild spoilers!!!) Everyone (in the USE-United States of the East) has a clock that tells them exactly when they’re going to die. It’s not like I was…[Read more]

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @kaya-young @ingridrd @notawriter @dekreel

So, I think I’m going with Oliver, since it has the majority.  I still haven’t decided on a title for the book yet, but will probably go with Blueberria, Blueberries for Oliver, or A Ticket to Blueberria.

However, I tried to edit the name into the book but couldn’t figure out…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I like several of the guys in Chuck Black’s books, too.  I especially liked Leinad, Gavinaugh, and Dalton.  (I was so happy when Dalton and Carliss finally ended up together.)

@livgiordano I liked Drew pretty well in the first book.  I didn’t end up reading the sequels because I heard they didn’t end well. 🙁  Oh, the Crown and Cove…[Read more]

Thanks for the history, @kaya-young! Some of it made me laugh. It was extremely helpful!

@notawriter Actually, you’re right.  Chara’s hair is straighter.  As I told @kaya-young, that’s kind of what she looks like when she’s dressed up. 🙂 (She actually looks kind of like me, and if you look at my hair in my profile pic you’ll see it’s straight, but I can tell you that it’s really easy to curl, and I can get my hair to look similar t…[Read more]

@kaya-young thanks! I really like short names and Rin seemed to fit her personality really well

@rochellaine nice collages! I tried really hard to recognize some of the faces. but, alas, I don’t think I know them. I almost thought Jared looked familiar…..

Oh, and @kaya-young I am thinking of naming my book something like “Winds of the West,” or “Growing Winds,” so yes, it’s referring to when he caught Chara, but in a more general way.  You’ll notice I mentioned the “winds” in the very first collage as well.

@kaya-young The snake is there for a reason.  A bad reason, presumably, since snakes usually do everything for bad reasons.  Right?

Yeah, the main picture is not really what she looks like.  It’s sort of what she looks like when she’s dressed up.  Her hair is straighter than that.  She actually looks mostly like the one in the bottom corner of D…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 As someone said before, I believe, I really like your color scheme.

Well, here’s a simple collage with all the main characters from my western.  If anyone recognizes the people in the pictures, I will be amazed and impressed and excited – and just plain happy. 😀 (But if you recognize Chara I will be shocked, because she’s a…[Read more]

@kaya-young Ohh, I give out teasers, not spoilers!  Yes, that is a snake, but you’ll never know if she gets snake bit till you read the actual book! 😀  Glad you liked the collage, though.  Should I make some for the characters?

@jenwriter17 It has a free version for which you don’t even have to sign up.  The more advanced version costs som…[Read more]
