Sadly I have had little to no time to think up a poem and even less inspiration. But I repeat the sentiments of @lewilliams above ⬆️ that I would be excited about a contest like this if you happen to be hosting another in the future. 😁

Hope you enjoy!…[Read more]

Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. <3 🙂

Thanks for the input! I relate to what you said about being better able to understand the article’s message and points when they are specifically unpacking a particular movie or book. Plus, it’s fun to read about your favorite books and movies.

However, I think you may have misinterpreted my question. But that’s on me! After…[Read more]

Thank you so much! That is absolutely wonderful. 🙂

Also, their climate is like a mix of Ireland, Norway, and Northern Israel, so all those are possibilities. The herbs, and especially the recipe, are perfect fuel for ideas. Thanks again!

They might have access to Fantasy Aloe Vera™ but your concern works just as well. :)…[Read more]

@gold_hummingbird @charityanne @gwyndalf-the-wise @c-j and anyone else that I missed.

@lewilliams Eyyyyyyy there’s that familiar platypus profile picture! Good to see you too! Life is. Kind of a roller-coaster, I have a really busy semester ahead of me and I’m not sure how I’m going to balance writing with it, but we’ll see. How are you?

Hey, did ya’ll get on CWW? Maybe we can find each other and see if we’re on the same teams!!!

Happy New Year everybody! Here’s part three.…[Read more]

We stay up and write until midnight, when we celebrate the new year, decide our writing goals for the year, and then fall into bed exhausted. How’s that sound?

@starofthenorth and I are doing it! Join us, from wherever you are! 🥳🥳🎉🎉🎆

Let us know how it goes! 😂

And yeah, family get-togethers can be really fun and/or really, really obscure/weird!

Sounds like a really interesting story!

I like giving villain characters redemption arcs…and I also like marrying off official fandom characters to OC’s (if they don’t have a good ship already)

Okay, okay, this opinion checks out 😜 It is middle-grade leaning into YA (or YA leaning into middle-grade?), after all. So the humour is prioritized sometimes.

Ooo, who is the Correct Boy™, specifically? O.O

Because, if you mean Keefe, he is undoubtedly better than Fitz. Just sayin’.

Yeah, they are different, in style of writing m…[Read more]

Here is a little something for anyone who likes historical fiction…[Read more]

Wow, all of y’all’s stories are so inspiring 😊😍!!
So, I’ve always loved reading. Even when I was little enough to not know how to read, I would sit in the floor with a picture book and try to read to myself and my mama.
When I was about eleven, I was on a zoom call…[Read more]

Glad to know I’m not the only one with a kind of silly reason why I started writing! Some people have a really cool or inspiring reason, and I’m just like . . . I’ve always been writing. One of my grandpas was a librarian and the other was an editor, and I have a great-aunt who has a Ph.D. in English Literature and taught at a college…[Read more]

(Nice to meet you! I’m Erica!)

It’s definitely more in the YA realm of intensity rather than middle grade, though the bright covers can be a bit misleading.

Yes, I would definitely classify KOTLC as YA. I haven’t read many YA books at all, so maybe that’s why I’m more sensitive?

@folith-feolin

As for the intensity I personally felt t…

So yeah, the intense mind powers and extremely broken people was a turn-off for me, but I think an even bigger thing was how the kids were breaking rules (important rules!) and getting away with it/encouraged to keep doing it BY THE ADULTS IN…[Read more]

Thank you!! I wasn’t certain if I’d still have fondness for the characters, or if I’d want to burn the whole thing with endless fire 😅 I must say, it has been tough paving my way through the previously terrible world-building, and a few characters have indeed bitten the dust.

Silent moment for the left-behind charries 😔

Okay, cool…[Read more]

Disclaimer: I’m definitely still a student of Russian anything, and names are one of those things that are described as ‘very difficult for RSL’. Please take whatever I say with a grain of salt.

What exactly do you mean by context? Female or male? Tense in a sentence?

@lewilliams

Diminutive forms are like nicknames, only someone…[Read more]

As for the genre, I’m thinking more slice-of-life modern-day with some fantasy, mystery, and maybe even a bit of paranormal/horror elements added in the mix as well.

I want it to feel both grounded and heartfelt…[Read more]

Woah, other gluten free peoples?!

I’m allergic to gluten (and like every nut, apples, pears, and dogs), but I grew out of my egg allergy at 5 (woot woot!)

We cook gluten free sometimes, but it’s hard because we try to do no sugar too…

Sugar adds fluff too so it’s hard to get the…[Read more]

Its not letting me edit my posts for some reason …😶

I love your profile pic. Perry is one of my faves.❤️

*cues the high-pitched screams*

But my next project is a middle-grade novel featuring a 12-year-old MC who gets herself into all sorts of scrapes.

The problem is, I’m not naturally a humorous writer. It’s something I’m trying to work on in this story, true, but a very not funny writer…[Read more]

To give you a bit of background information, my main character (Emeric Dertok) has recently come back into society after eight years of living the life of a hermit. He’s working for the King (Jornan), who charged him with the task of tracking down spies trying to sabotage the government. But as enters…[Read more]
