Jaybird replied to the topic What's Your Favorite Relationship Type in Fiction? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 6 months ago
I devour mentor-apprentice relationships, especially when they both need each other, and even more especially when at least one has a painful past.
Then again, siblings are absolutely fantastic. I mean, where else do you get such wonderful loving contention? XD
I also love the friends-who-are-like-siblings-and-would-die-for-each-other. I know it…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I like master/servant relationships, maybe like young lady and her butler, or something similar. Or I like the idiotic duo who share one brain cell. That’s just really fun to see.

What’s Your Favorite Relationship Type in Fiction?
For me it would be sibling relationships. Maybe it’s because I have a lot of siblings, but I feel like there’s this unique built-in connection between sibling relationships that other relationships don’t have.There can be a lot of diverse and interesting dynamics between siblings. They could be…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Hmm unless you count the time I couldn’t fall asleep from like midnight to two in the morning because I kept getting writing ideas to jot down haha. That was pretty energizing.

You definitely did not see my profile picture on Pinterest, where I definitely did not get it from. My profile 110% very unique and original. 🙂
It seems like most people get drained from writing. Has there ever been an exception for you? Like a certain chapter that made you excited and energized at…[Read more]

Wow! Those are fantastic! I especially love that middle one. XD
Those are some wonderful lines! (And action tags; November is awesome.)

If the word are cooperative and characters are caught in the midst of some dilemma or moment of humor, then I think I get excited. However, most of the time I’m kinda neither. It usually settles me into a quiet bit of daydreaming/brainstorming. Like I said, if everything’s working, then I can get excited and want someone to read…[Read more]

Sorry I’m so late in replying. Life is nuts.
That sounds AWESOME! I love good farytales and retellings, some of my favorite authors being George MacDonald, C. S. Lewis, Gail Carson Levine, and Hans Christian Andersen. (Or at least some of his stuff)
I would definitely appreciate a retelling of Rumplestiltskin, especially as that story…[Read more]

Jaybird replied to the topic Fairytale Retellings in the forum Genre-Writing 4 years, 7 months ago
That’s okay. 😉 I wasn’t very clear. The Lost Kingdom of Barmarre was mostly pretty fun; I enjoyed it, and had difficulty putting it down.
Even when it was past midnight…
Anyway,
Yes! It is a good book.
Thank you!
There’s so much potential in losing his gift, which might be a bit of work to figure out, but it will definitely be…[Read more]

We’ll, right now I can’t think of many actually funny stories which would make sense out of context, which is annoying as I know of many.

@kathleenramm Boi, your profile picture sure looks familiar, although a tad bluer haha.
I think writing will always drain me. I don’t think I’ve ever walked away from writing without feeling a little more tired than before. Unless I’m in the middle of a load of homework and I needed to write a paragraph or something as a pick-me-up or a…[Read more]

Does writing energize or exhaust you? Or both?Â
Well, for me, both. If ideas are flowing, plot lines connecting, and character’s developing, then I get really excited and end up unable to fall asleep until 2 a.m.However, if ideas are absent, plot lines clashing, and characters are not working, then I end up like a complete tired mess from…[Read more]

Ooo I love humorous stories!!
One way I embarrassed myself? Once, I was playing with a little girl. We climbed up the slide and she raced down it, so I followed. However, I was going down slowly so I pushed myself forward and–
–tumbled head-over-heels down the slide, where I promptly landed at my crush’s feet.
I was mortified.

@madelyn Ahhh this is such a great idea!!! And tying it in with PETER PAN???? SIGN me UP!!! I will absolutely read this if you ever publish it XD Good luck!!!
Advice for retellings? Let your imagination run wild! What if the smallest, most meaningless detail in a fairytale had an ulterior motive, a magical purpose, or was the start of an epic…[Read more]
