@kathleenramm I feel like I usually plan for characters to be a little more reserved but they end up being more extraverted to keep the story moving along and the scene interesting, haha. I always need a bit more dialogue.

@lydia-s There’s one book series I really loved called the Lost Island of Tamarind by Nadia Aguiar and it has some great sibling relationships, as well as really creative world building in general. I really loved it, although personally I’d rate it pg-13 for violence (and I think a d-word) but it wasn’t too bad. (If you’ve ever watched Lord of the…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Woah. I thought I had written a lot of sibling relationships, but I can honestly say you’ve beaten me.

And yeah, two friends so close they could be brothers pretty much counts as brothers in my eyes.

Since you have written many brother relationships, have you written any sister relationships in your stories? And if you…[Read more]

@power

This is amazing. I love how you painted such a strong image in just a few lines.

How long have you been writing poetry for? Also, have any tips for a beginner? You know, asking for a friend lol.

@lydia-s GIRL sameeeee. That’s the good stuff right there XD I absolutely love it. I try to include good sibling relationships into my books because it’s so rare in fiction sadly ;-;

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

BTW, I want to clarify I don’t mean anything snarky or judgmental by my last paragraph. It was intended to be solely factual. Just in case it came across wrong. XP

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

It was not my intention to leave this for two months before responding… Sorry for the delay. XP

Peterson’s writing improved significantly throughout the series. Is it disappointing that the hook isn’t his best work? Sure. But short of him backtracking to rewrite the entire first book so that it’s on par with…[Read more]

Like Issabelle said, just ask! I recommend having some topics in mind that you could write about for them or that you’d like them to write about on your blog, since a lot of bloggers don’t know what other authors’ audiences would be interested in or aren’t sure what to write about for someone else vs. for their own blog. This was definitely a…[Read more]

Well, one option would be that his goal is to confess to his crush or find a way for his crush to confess to him. Depending on what kind of guy he is.

Another option would be that his goal is to get away from his father. Whether that be earning enough money to buy a place away from his home, or to run away.

He could have both…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Hmmm, fascinating! I love the extra information provided, especially since I’m a person who reads the back of covers just for the fun of it. (It might be a bit long, but that’s okay.)

Only three?! Eeekers! I’ll try. XD

1. First off, this one does seem to better connect to another as a sequel. This feels more like another…

@r-m-archer

That would be fascinating, and it definitely does sound fun to do. 😉

Ugh, I’ve got quite the list of those! XD

@elishavet-pidyon

I’d believe that. XD I’d intended to write up a compare-and-contrast review between the book and the movie after I read the book, but I never got around to re-watching the movie or writing the review, so… add it to the list of reviews I’ve intended to write and forgotten about. ;P But at some point I think that would still be…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

The book you say? Hmmm. I’ll have to say I haven’t read it, (or watched it, other than a few clips of the play.) but it definitely sounds interesting! All I’ve heard about the book is that it is completely different from the play (or musical, or any of it for that matter. XD)

@trahia-the-minstrel

Heya, girl!!! Okay, so I first wanna say I TOTALLY get where you’re coming from!!! When I first started my blog (teenwritersnook.com) I had literally NO ONE read any of my posts for like three-plus months but now (after a year and a half of blogging) my site gets a pretty steady following with 400 visitors a month and…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

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

Certainly! They’re all good, in my own most humble opinion. (Of course they are, ’cause why would I mention them if they weren’t? XD)

Scout, Riffles for Watie by Harold Keith, and Snow Treasure, are all not exactly classics. I think RfW was written around 1957, ST around 1942, and Scout was sometime in the 50’s-60’s(Not sure). A…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Aw, cool! I hope you enjoy them! 🙂

@daisy-torres

(LOL)

Especially when the reader doesn’t see it coming. Bwahaha!

Yeah, I wasn’t sure I liked it either untill I started researching some stuff, then it sort of exploded. XD For instance, one of my kingdoms uses a lunar calendar, but I when I started working it out I got carried away, so now there’s a separate calendar for each of…[Read more]
