(Wow, I’m honored to have been the first to do it!)

Yeah, it would be rather odd for a 16-year-old to propose, wouldn’t it? lol But I’m so happy that you’re nearing the first one you’ll write! They’re so much fun… XD

@gracie-j

Yay, hello! Glad you popped over.

I have to admit I do love a good Mr. Darcy-type character. And though…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

That’s so cool!

@elfwing

*sighs happily again* Oh my… Teary, emotional scenes with men in them? You have seriously just described one of my all-time favorite scenes to write. XD

As Elizabeth and JC said, I don’t think it weakens the manliness of a man to show him crying. I know I enjoy a good emotional scene involving guys… 😛 Anyway, I feel like that…[Read more]

@lewilliams

Well, thank you. <3 And I bet it was so exciting to finish! 😀

Thank you so much! That was super helpful. 🙂

@elanor

She looks gorgeous! I go to a barn in the summer, and my equine bestie is a bay Thoroughbred. She’s super pretty and super sweet. 😉 Was your horse a Paint?

Ah, Tolkien, the master storyteller. He ranks high among my own personal favorites, partly because of how gifted he was. I haven’t heard of the other two authors you mentioned before…[Read more]

@beth-darlene

That’s awesome! 😀

@jenwriter17

Thank you so much! That was very helpful. 😀

@devastate-lasting

Thank you so much for the input! And, by the way, this is off-topic, but your profile picture is gorgeous!

@lewilliams

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the input. I still have two years till graduation, so I’ve got some time to think and pray, thankfully.…[Read more]

@joelle-stone

Well, I’m sure it’s awesome! 😉

@elfwing

*sighs happily* Emotional scenes!!! I love them… 😛

So, a thesaurus is a great place to start when searching for verbs and phrases that describe emotion well (The thesaurus on my computer is my constant companion and regular helper. You might want to consider double-checking the meanings if you use a word from there though, just to…[Read more]

@elanor

Hi, Lilly! Welcome to the forum! I’m Lydia. 😀

Ah, yes, J.R.R. Tolkien is the best! (In my humble opinion, he was one of the greatest novelists ever. 🙂) Love your signature and profile picture, by the way.

Here are a few questions for you, if you feel like answering them:

1) Who are your top three favorite authors?

2) What is your…[Read more]

@ariel-f

Hi, Ariel! Welcome to the forum! I’m Lydia. 😀

Ooo, the genres you write in sound like loads of fun! I’m a dabbler when it comes to writing genres, so I’ve written something in most (Except mystery… Though mystery is a component in my main WIP). I’ve written a short story set in the future, and it was a lot of fun! I might have to…[Read more]

@anika123

Well, I can’t pretend to be an expert in this department as I’ve never written for an Indian before (I’m assuming she’s a Native American?), but I’ll do my best to help! 😀 Which part of your character do you feel needs work?

@anika123

Hi, Anika! Welcome to the forum! I’m Lydia. 🙂

Cool! I love fantasy. Do you have dragons in your world? My main WIP is fantasy, and dragons (Well, there’s just one at first, but that changes near the end. 😉) do make an appearance.

Here are some questions for you, if you like answering them:

1) Who are your top three favorite…[Read more]

@elfwing

Hi! Welcome to the forum! I’m Lydia. 😀

Wow, it’s awesome that you’ve already finished several novels! Congrats!

Dragons are wonderful, and griffins are as well. I love fantasy! It’s an extremely fun genre to write. That’s what my main WIP is actually. 🙂

I’m homeschooled as well, and though I’m not graduating this year, that event is…[Read more]

@beth-darlene

No, I haven’t read The Ashtown Burials yet; my brother did though. 🙂 Is that series your favorite from N.D.’s books?

Awesome! I remember The Long Patrol vaguely. It’s been a while since I’ve read it though. 🙂

Cool! My siblings and I are big fans of the series. My favorite is the last book, Ember’s End. 🙂

@cathrynv

I don’t think I’ve read either of those series, but I think I’ve heard of the Unblemished series. What genre are they?

1) I’ve never read any of those authors! I bet they’re great though. 🙂 Some of my favorites are Jennifer Erin Valent, S.D. Smith, and J.R.R. Tolkien.

2) Dracula, another book I have yet to read. (*sighs* Why does my…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Well, first it takes up all my daydreaming hours and my siblings (mainly my two oldest younger) get to listen to me rant on and off for a few weeks/months about various scenes that pop into my head. (They’re great listeners, and thankfully they seem to enjoy hearing my ideas. 😛 ) The scenes then get tucked away into the appropriate…[Read more]
