@acancello Yesss, it’s so saddddd. I have indeed read the Little Women books, and I’ve started Rebecca once but never really got into it. 😅 Is it worth trying again?

*casually comments because this will be helpful later xD*
Honestly, besides Abbie Emmons and StoryEmbers, the thing that’s been the most helpful in plotting is a whiteboard. XD At our current house we have a huge whiteboard on the wall, and being able to fill it with all the plot points and character arc beats and random notes is spectacular. *happy sigh*

@janellebelovedpig Oooh, this premise sounds fascinating. I’d be super interested in reading this one day.
I don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, so behold, a rambling list of points about failure:
- If you remember failure, that remembrance is going to be called something. But there’s a difference between guilt and regret – guilt is…

@acancello Ooooh, I love A Rose in Bloom! The way Alcott developped the characters from Eight Cousins and kept them realistic was incredibly intriguing. Charlie absolutely broke my heart. *fp* But Mac is amazing, and Archie is still the best. XD And Jamie is always the sweetest.

@lydia-s Wow, I’d like to spend more time outside, haha. I feel like I really need that sunlight.

@lydia-s I went to Pennsylvania and lay on the grass and looked at the stars for a while a few days ago so that felt like rehab XD
Still suffering a little, trying to figure out writing things before work starts

@janellebelovedpig I never really looked at your profile picture that closely, but that Queen Esther doll is amazingggg. (And yes, Sight and Sound all the way. XD)

@hybridlore Violin is gorgeous. <3 Do you have a favorite song to play?
I play the piano, and I’ve fiddled around with the guitar and the recorder in the part. XP
Spaceships, thieves, and magic – that sounds like a fantastic combination. XD

@hybridlore Eee, welcome to KingdomPen! *blows trumpets* Oooh, violin? How long have you been playing that?

@acancello My latest book obsession is For Whom the Sun Sings. It’s dystopian but without dystopian clichés (i.e. no angsty teenagers and no robots overtaking the world 😜), and it’s. . . truly a masterpiece. <3 It’s about an eleven-year-old boy who can see in a society where every man, woman, and child is blind. The characters are heart-breaking,…[Read more]

@sarafini Yayyy, this is going to be great!
Per the YWW pitch – *clears throat* YWW quite literally changed my life. 🥰 I had been writing for a few years and had scoured the internet for every article on writing out there, yet I wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted to. Then, after a handful of CWWs, I took the plunge and joined YWW in January of…[Read more]

@whalekeeper Ooh, fascinating topic. <3 I genuinely love good parent-child relationships in fiction. . . whenever they do show up. 😜
I think what you said is on point – it’s not the writing of abusive or absent parents that’s the problem, because those things do exist in real life and fiction should mirror that. The problem is the way it’s…[Read more]
