@madelyn Thanks for the recs!!! Ahhh I have Story Thieves on my list XD We’re going to the library soon so maybe I’ll get to pick that up!!

*writes everyone’s recommended books down*

@madelyn

Thank you. 😊

@madelyn Haha! I can definitely be the same way with YouTube XD I try to set a time limit for myself so I don’t lose myself in the ‘YouTube spiral’ XD

Dude sameee about being excited by glass/water/smoke/light/stars etc XDD You would like the book I’m working on probably, because I try to play off of ‘aesthetic’ descriptions like those a lot XD…[Read more]

@madelyn

Ive really enjoyed his Starlore series. Personally think it’s really good.
I’ve not read/listened to any of his books other than the kingdom, knights, and Starlore series.

I know he has another series called “the Wars of the Realm” but my Dad said those ones are really weird that he took too much artistic license in describing angels…[Read more]

Those are all great ideas! I love hearing what everybody’s ideas are it gets my imagination really going.

Unfortunately with my medieval fantasy set book there’s no technology. But if I do write a book someday in the days of technology those ones will be helpful.

@madelyn

Exactly. Fanny’s humility and quiet strength are so underrepresented in modern literature. My favorites of her books are probably Persuasion, Mansfield Park, Pride and Prejudice, and Northanger Abbey (that last one is her lightest work, in my opinion).

OooooOooOo, yes. I hope my books turn out as good as the authors’ who inspired them.…[Read more]

@madelyn

I’m glad you like the sound of my novel. I’ve actually started writing more of it in the last few weeks. I started a topic on the forum on “How to do a non-cliché escape scene” because I’m trying to figure one out. If you have any advice I’d be glad to have it on there too.

You like CHUCK BLACK! I grew up on those books! My absolute…[Read more]

@madelyn, hi!

So…if your post was belated, so is this reply. Sorry.

I am literally (quite literally) going to rattle my chair apart with exitement. C. S. Lewis, S. D. Smith, Andrew Peterson, Jane Austen, AND Chuck Black?! Sir Dalton is amazing. We just finished listening to Sir Quinlan for the second time this evening. YOU LIKE FANNY PRICE?…[Read more]

@madelyn Thank you!! Honestly I think my biggest problem is turning off my inner editor, since because I listen to it, I end up adding things that I think would sound good from an editing perspective but that creatively fall flat and sound pretty boring when compared to the fun and unexpected things I’d been writing before. I’ll be sure to keep…[Read more]

For maps I do them on paper with pencils. They’re more simple style but I try to make them somewhat detailed according to what’s important in the story I’m writing. I do the rough in regular pencil, use the pencil and eraser to fine tune it, pencil in landmarks (forests, lakes, canyons, etc), color in the whole map with different color…[Read more]

@madelyn sorry if you get like five emails of my response, the forum ate it again

@madelyn I enjoy it when I’m not crying, heh. Which I think can be said about anything.

Nooo it ate my message T_T Time to retype that monster message…. XD

@madelyn You know, if you ever want to learn more about the mbti types, there’s a youtuber called Frank James and he does a lot of funny skits, personality tests, and more that help better teach you about your/the types. I can send you a link to his channel if you’re…[Read more]

Hello Madelyn it’s wonderful to make your acquaintance.

Yes, I think artistic lettering counts as art and I enjoy making maps for my novel which I’m continually adding to the history and timeline of but which never seems to get written. I’m currently working on a book or maybe more accurately a collection of short stories of my memor…[Read more]

Hi, @madelyn, nice to meet you! I’m Faith, and I’m kinda a mix of INTJ and INTP (both personality tests and I can never quite decide). I also see a lot of ENTJ and ENTP in me, though… just call me unique 🙂

I agree; information is the best! Especially if it’s random, interesting information. At that point, I’m hooked.

And here you got me…[Read more]

@madelyn

Hi! It’s wonderful to meet you!

I have to agree with Lin on your question about what makes a good book. If the author doesn’t set up a world or characters or story that doesn’t make you feel anything meaningful, then I don’t really see the point.

As for passions for a full time career… Honestly I have no idea, haha. I’m just always…[Read more]

Hey @madelyn !  I’m Ella, and I’m an ENFP-T too! XD  I know, KP was like finding a diamond, it’s so amazing. <33

I LOVE art!  Especially drawing flowers.  I do a lot of concept art for my books too.

What’s your favorite genre of music? I like r&b and hip/hop.

What’s your WIP about?  Mine is about a spy, and that’s pretty much all I know rn X…[Read more]

@madelyn Hey there! Nice to meet you!

I think a good book is something that makes me feel something (no, not cringe or anger or absolute regret or anything like that) but one that makes you think about it long after you close the pages.

Full-time career? Well, I’m currently studying computer science, so…
