The book. I don’t think I knew there was a play, although that makes sense. I knew it was a musical and movie, among other things, so of course there would be a play somewhere in there. XD I actually watched the Emmy Rossum movie long before I read the book. (They’re very different, and each quite enjoyable in their own way.)

@kathleenramm

Aw, cool! I hope you enjoy them! 🙂

This. I didn’t grow up on classics, but I grew up to develop a more “old-fashioned” worldview and I feel like I fit better with classic authors and their literature than with most modern stories.

@kathleenramm

I have a whole list. XD

• The Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis
• The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis
• Phantastes by George MacDonald
• The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien (of course)
• The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
• The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
• Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
• The Strange Case of Dr.…

@kathleenramm

My answer is pretty much identical to yours! I used to largely dislike classics (or the idea of classics, anyway; I didn’t dislike as many of the classics that I read as I thought I did, lol), but in the past two or three years I’ve read more and more classics and they’ve definitely beat out modern fiction in my…[Read more]

So, perfect timing, Nadine Brandes and Sara Ella happen to be focusing on retellings in their webinar next month! There’s a $10 registration fee, but Nadine and Sara are always super helpful, they answer so many questions… Honestly, it’s worth a lot more than $10, in most cases if not all cases. XD And Nadine has written a couple of historical…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Exactly! Long, deep conversations are my favorite, but it’s often hard to find people to have them with (or specific topics for discussion, lol). God has really blessed me with the friends I can have those conversations with, whether those discussions happen often or only on occasion.

There are so many people. My mom (encouraging me to read, allowing me to pursue writing for a good chunk of my homeschooling, critiquing my work over the years, etc.), my dad (he has a book started that I’m excited to read one day, he got me started reading fantasy, he’s also helped edit my work from time to time, etc.), my writing groups…[Read more]

@autumn-rebecca

Autumn was my first pen name! I was going to go by Autumn Meadowlark for a while, but I picked R.M. Archer after I decided “Meadowlark” was too weird, lol. Autumn is a lovely name. ^-^

@elfwing

WAIT. YOU’RE— OH! I totally hadn’t connected you to this username! Hi! XD 😀

@lavenderbookling

Hi, Bleu! ^-^

I write under a pseudonym. To begin with it was just because I thought it sounded cooler and more fantastical than my real name, lol. And initials are pretty popular among speculative fiction authors (fantasy authors in particular). But as a woman it’s nice because I won’t have to worry about deciding whether or not to change the name I write by…[Read more]

@lavenderbookling

Haha, no worries, I have the memory of a chicken. XD

Agreeeeed, spaceships make everything better.

Ohhh yum, hot cocoa is awesome.  Coffee hater???  Interesting… Do you hate Starbucks? 😨XD

I’m so sorry about your studio!  Actually, you remind me a lot of my sister, cuz she’s starting tae-kwon-do, and she likes korean pop…[Read more]

@glorifychrist

Chamomile is the best.  I like to imagine being wrapped in a fluffy blanket, writing my story with a candle and the Little Women soundtrack in the background. <3 Then I am happy. :)) (Which reminds me, are you big into movies?  If so, which ones?)

That book journal sounds awesome!  How long have you been doing it?  It would be sup…[Read more]

@lavenderbookling

Welcome Lavender!  I’m Ella, nice to meet you!  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Ohh nice, sci-fi and fantasy?  Sounds pretty awesome to me. :))  I’m writing a book about a girl who’s trying to escape the last ship leaving earth (which is almost inhabitable) to save her sister, who was left behind.  It’s a stor…[Read more]

@glorifychrist

Heyy Heaven!  (I LOVE your name btw) Your blog is so pretty, and I love your mission too <33

CWW!!! <33 I’ve participated in it for two years but this year I didn’t because school was just too much work, but I agree, it is SO helpful!  I hope you keep your writing streak on KP too!

Wait.  Ahhh!  I’m a tea drinker too!  (wha…[Read more]

@annabelle

I’ll rephrase XD I write whenever I can, but not as consistently as I’d like.  For example, over Christmas break, I wrote almost every day but as soon as school started again, I’m having trouble making time anymore.  So summer is my dream time to write haha

Anywayys, I’m writing two stories when I can:

WIP Emiyn (em-eye-in) is a…[Read more]

@lana-blanchard

Heyyy!  I’m Ella, nice to meet you!!!  Lana is such a pretty name <3

Oh yes, fantasy is amazinggg.  I’m going back and forth between two WIPs:  Project Emiyn (em-eye-in), where Earth’s climate is failing, and people have no choice but to go to space.  Emiyn was chosen to be one of the Candidates for the space exploration, but…[Read more]
