@koryn-Koch Howdy! Me and my assistant, Aberdeen the Authorosaurus, give you a hearty handshake!

@that_writer-girl-99 My species is even rarer. I’m not right-handed. I’m not left-handed. I’m a combination of right and left-handed!

@seekjustice I see your problem—I’m also in the same boat. I’m writing a children’s book that has an adult protagonist. According to the 2016 Children’s Writer’s and Illustrator’s Market Guide, it is good to have your protagonist be on the oldest side your readership will allow (they recommend not going above college age for YA).

So if you can…[Read more]

@lifeofkatie Congrats on your blog! I like the subject matter you chose (being young and single); it’s something I think a lot of teenagers need to hear and it’s a topic dear to my heart. Some people seem to think singleness is a curse, when it’s really a blessing. I like how you compared life to a broken puzzle in your blogpost.

I saw you have…[Read more]

Here’s a collage I made for one of my favorite movies: http://pin.it/uq2eZ9E

@kate-flournoy Wow! That one for your villain is intense.

@graciegirl Thank you! And I love that one you did for This Time Tomorrow (especially with all those clocks)! I think that’s my favorite of yours (so far).

@graciegirl Congratulations on making your first collage (I’m looking forward to seeing more)!

@Ethryndal That purple collage is awesome! The font’s gorgeous.

@hope I agree with Daeus, but of the three, probably Stormfeather. Definitely not scarlet (it seems less original). I like the sound of “publication” best (that’s just my personal preference). Is there any way you could shorten “Writing in the Light”?

@daeus Don’t forget the frozen raspberries.

@aratrea Hey, is it possible for you guys to change the title “participant” under our names to “kapeefer”? Because that would be epic.

There’s nothing wrong with picturing your book as a movie—that’s how I see all the books I’ve written or am going to write. I was currently having problems with writer’s block myself and this is what I’ve found works best:

1. Take a break from writing for a couple weeks.
2. Do something else (I discover my best ideas when I’m drawing or f…[Read more]

@hope Well, since it’s called Legends of Light, maybe you could have something to do with light in the titles? Like this:

1. Love’s Dawn
2. Flickering Hope
3. Ray of Truth

@daeus Correct! *applauds* Your turn!
