Woah, that post is massive. Sorry Janessa for hijacking your topic 🤣

Oh… oops. XD I didn’t know this would start a whole discussion. But that’s okay! It’s really interesting to hear y’all’s opinions.

I wasn’t necessarily trying to say that publishers aren’t looking for a good book. I’m just saying that publishers can be really harsh with what they accept and what t…

Thank for the suggestions 😛 I do still like Ransom and I will use it somehow, whether or not it’s for this character. I’ll let all these names simmer some more. Right now he will go by Ben, until something sticks.

Also completely random, but I really like him as a character now XD I named him…[Read more]

*Busts into the conversation* 😂

I think Savannah, you have a point that publishers are looking for marketable material. But Esther has a good point of view, that publishers are also looking for well-written material to a degree, because readers like good writing, and therefore good writing will sell. I’m not say…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Yeah, sometimes it helps to have two POVs, and other times it’s not necessary. I’ve become so accustomed to it though, that when I start coming up with a story idea, my mind naturally creates two POV characters. XD

Glad I could help!!

“That’s really nice to hear. We know a few people whose experiences are similar to ours, like Callista and her family. Except,” his gaze drifted over to her, “she’s had a much harder time of it than me. In fact,” he tilted his head, “I’m not sure how she does it. She’s been through so much, yet when someone else is in…[Read more]

Nerp, still not working…

Are pics working for anyone else? Because I really want to post some moodboards but I can’ttt 😭

@rae

Oh wait, I just read your most recent draft and I like it even better!! I think it could stay as it is if you like it. 🙃

@rae

I like it how it is, tbh. I think it sounds great!

I’m dreaming of a time, when I was broken,

When you comforted me, many a time.

This part though doesn’t flow as smoothly as the rest of it. Um… I wish I could offer a suggestion… Maybe it could go something like this…?

I’m dreaming of a time, when I am hurting,

And you comfort my aching h…

Oh my goodness so I just watched one of her videos on why she chose to indie publish her book, and she claimed she wasn’t bashing traditional publishing but… you can tell she’ll never traditionally publish any of her books. 🫤😂 And she was saying that some people will give their manuscript to a publishing company, get rejec…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Oooh, I like the idea!!

That said, if anyone has any interesting plot ideas or conflict suggestions, let me know! Or if there are any good book recommendations from that time period, I’d love to hear them.

I will say writing a book over the span of eight years could be a challenge, but I’m sure you could do it. 😉 A series isn…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Maybe Jasper or Corin?

Character name needed!

Okay, so I have a cute side character. He is from Project Chrysanthemum/Baztet, and he is basically Babs and Marcel’s little brother. He is super scrawny and weak, has fluffy white hair with orange speckles und…[Read more]

@rae

I don’t know much about writing songs XD But I still write poetry, so maybe I can help! Do you have a melody in mind, or are you letting the reader imagine it and are instead writing an almost-melodic poem?

@smiley

So sorry XDXD 🤣😭 Im reading Harry Potter and its the same…
