@jenwriter17 aw really? I don’t remember Counted Worthy having any bad content (particularly in comparison to the Hunger Games and other similar books). Oh well, that’s fine.
Ooh, I hope you enjoy A Time to Die!! 😛

@Jenwriter17 Alrighty, book recommendations coming your way. 😛
– The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins)
– Divergent (Veronica Roth)These trilogies are both fairly well known. They’re not favourites of mine, and some of the content is a bit iffy, but they’re good for researching the genre.
– Out of Time (Nadine Brandes)
– The Lunar Chronicles…[Read more] -

I’m happy saying that I live in Australia, rural NSW because there is a lot of rural NSW so the chances of anyone tracking me down is quite slim.
Oh my word. XD True though. No one is going to scour all of rural NSW for you. XP

@Jenwriter17 I basically second everything that Audrey said.
Getting people to read and know you and your blog is simply a three step matter. (‘simply’ but not ‘simple’ XD)
1) Spend time on other blogs with similar content and styles to yours. Comment regularly, maybe guest post, just be present in the blogger community so that people know y…[Read more]

@Jenwriter17 As someone who writes and reads dystopian quite frequently, I think the main biggest cliche is “MC is a teen who leads a rebellion against the evil government and wins”
As Josiah said, I 10000% recommend reading into some of the good-ol’ dystopian novels like Fahrenheit 451 and the others he mentioned. Along with other more recent…[Read more]

@Clairec If only….Unfortunately I was very private about my Prince-Seeking so I was hiding out in the back paddock when I did it. XD

@Daughteroftheking *strokes chin* No idea…
Ooh favourite characters? Hmm…Cody was pretty funny. Mizzy was good. Tia was pretty cool. David was also good (and his metaphors/similes are the most genius things ever XD)….I don’t know if I can pick.

@Ethryndal That recurve picture looks almost exactly like the recurve we use.
Secondly, you really have researched archery. Impressive. Most impressive.
@That_Writer_Girl_99 *shoves spectacles up on nose quite scholarlyly* I back up what she said. Mostly because my dad’s an archer and several of us amateur archers, so I know at least the basics.…[Read more]

@Daeus OK.
@Overcomer If you see an Elizabeth Flournoy on your doc then, that’s me, using one of my sisters’ account because I don’t have one. Just so you’re warned, it’s not an intruding bot or anything. 😉 And since it’s technically yours first, if you want I can wait to beta-read it ’til you’ve already done so, ’cause that’d be totally fine. I…[Read more]

@Daeus Ahh, I remember that post! It was intriguing. I’d like to do it, unless you’re already too swamped with beta-readers, in which case I’d still want to just read it. ;P

Aahh! That does sound disappointing. I like Almanzo well enough, but not to replace the Ingalls. :'(
No, we’re not to Nellie’s marriage yet, but I’m pretty sure it’s in this season (which you probably know, which is probably why you asked. ;P). I can certainly imagine it would be funny.
A NEW FAMILY moves into the Ingalls’ house?!…[Read more]

@Sam-Kowal Arghh yessss. I started Words of Radiance last night and so far I’m loving it too. *lots of flailing*
Kal, Shal, and Dal though. XD That cracked me up. Kal is definitely my favourite though. *hugs the precious bridgeboy* xP

@Jenwriter17 I concur with the others and say that 3 POVs is fine.
