Oh, yes! I do know Joelle! Was she the one who told you about KP or was it the other way around? I highly recommend writing a story with her. Writing stories with someone is a very unique experience, and the stories often are twice as good as they would have been if you were writing by yourself as you can fill in for each other’s…[Read more]

I wish I’d known how to properly format dialogue and split up paragraphs. Some of my stories, even up until just six or seven years ago (which… actually sounds like a lot longer when I count the years XD), are really difficult to follow (or just plain cringey) because my paragraphs are a disaster and my dialogue is formatted improperly.

@avacoulter Nice, nice! I like watching where my characters take me (since I’m a pantser too) but I think I like writing the ending most. It’s very satisfying, and also kinda bittersweet.

@kathleenramm I wish I knew that typing was more efficient than handwriting.

Thanks to choices my 12 year old self made, I am still handwriting a certain story to this day.

@avacoulter

I know exactly what you mean. T_T

I do, actually. It is confusing at times, but those trolls…

@avacoulter

Ah, that’s really cute!

It’s really cool how your friend inspired you to start writing seriously, do they write as well? If so have you ever thought of writing a story together?

I started writing around seven or eight. Two of my older siblings wrote (and still write), which inspired me a lot. Plus, after multiple failed attempts at…[Read more]

@avacoulter It’s probably the farthest I’ve gotten in a novel, actually, heh. I’m looking forward to writing the ending.

What do you like most about the writing process?

@avacoulter Oo, interesting! Dystopian stories are always fun.

One of my current projects is about a guy named Joey who works at an antique store, time, wings, existence, and memory. It’s a weird kind of story so I feel like a premise wouldn’t encapsulate it enough. It’s basically inspired by things and people I saw throughout summer.

@avacoulter

Ah, that library. I have only been able to visit a few times, and after getting lost in the secret passages, they make sure I have a guide. I still don’t know how I found that passage….

I am from a village called Kigor about five day’s journey to Rysentown. However, I was not born in Aerwiar, and if my suspicions are correct, I’m…[Read more]

@avacoulter

Ah, Wingfeather. I have finished the series and I love it, especially the end. There is so much under the surface in those books, so many deeper meanings. I am also a tad bit of an aspiring poet which thrills over Peterson’s well written verse.

My mother prefers the licorice one. Me, they’re one of the worst regular flavors of…[Read more]

@avacoulter

Ah, it is good to meet another Annieran here. As for my favorite THAGS I am at a bit of a loss. I obviously love Word, but Form…  some of my earliest memories include drawing. As for Song, music is truly amazing. I guess Form or Word. Or Song, oh dear.

A dog named Kalmar? That’s fantastic! None of our cats and dogs were ever very…[Read more]

@scoutfinch180

Or spinach!? You might have just saved my rapidly crumbling castle.

Ah, emotion. I don’t know if I write it well, but I do love to sort out highly emotional scenes from a character other than the POV, so I write them a lot in my head. Then they usually become convoluted as I try to write them down and I end up with a REALLY weird…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Yay!! Thank you, I hope is was encouraging at least.

Speaking of miracles, I’ve been thinking. Why do we need magic in our books if we have a powerful God? I have nothing against using magic as an allegory of His power, but I realized that just because I don’t have magic in my books doesn’t mean I can’t have unexplainable things!…[Read more]

@avacoulter Hm, I’ve written so many, it’s hard to choose a favorite, haha. Do you have a premise for your current WIP?

NO! The YA section needs more clean, quality stories. YA fiction is so, so, so important, because YA is where readers are trying to find out where they fit, and what to think, and what is important. They’re shaping their worldviews, and while our books won’t be the only voices shaping that (nor even the strongest, most likely), fiction is…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

It is confusing. But somewhere I heard that apparently if your book is set in some other world it atomaticaly becomes Fantasy. Whether or not that is true, it was helpful, at least to this beginning writer.

I don’t have anything against the type of magic in Narnia and Wingfeather, where ‘magic’ really just means God’s power…[Read more]

Oh, and I love this topic too. For my work to be good, I will want it to edify the reader in some way. Bunches of my stuff is to entertain, but I want to put lessons/themes in them too.

@joy-caroline

Ok, so I don’t know if you’re still working over miracles, signs, and wonders, but I thought I’d join in, if it’s all right.

I understand how miracle scenes can fall flat. God is so amazing, and our best writings are so inadequate to describe Him.

Then what to do when writing miracles? Well, what do we do when we see miracles? Do…[Read more]

The Horse and His Boy is my favorite Narnia book! That and the end of The Last Battle. Ah, the Hermit…
