@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*

@elishavet-pidyon Haha!! How dare Tolkien plagiarize you XD But yesss I totally feel you. It’s so disheartening when things like that happen T_T

@kathleenramm Haha! That story sounds intriguing though. I would have totally loved that when I was younger XD

Sooo, once I wrote a story about a girl that was an orphan during world war 1 (or two?). She lived in the alleys, and one day, while looking for food in the local garbage dump, she discovered a world full of fairies and tiny people that…[Read more]

@power Ahh okay haha. I looked up the Mysterious Benedict Society and it looks interesting! I may have to give it a go anyway, so no harm done XD

@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]

@devastate-lasting Haha yeah maybe XD Good luck with your story though!!

@power Okie dokie, I’ll look into those! Thanks a lot!

@devastate-lasting Of course!!! Aww, that’s unfortunate. Have you tried Wattpad? I did that some years back and had a lot of success with it (Sadly, they kept shoving a lot of romance books in my face, so I pulled my books off and deleted my account, but the community aspect of it was a lot of fun, and I connected with a lot of great readers and writers!)

6 years??? I can’ttt. My longest story took me 4 years, and surprisingly, it was a novella XD Later on, I wrote a much longer story that only took me 2 years! (It’s published now, by the way)  I still haven’t figured out why one took so much longer, but I entered Crazy Writing Week with the second, where I wrote like 20k in a week, so that mayyy…[Read more]

@faith-q That is a very good question, and one I’ve asked myself a few times haha.

To answer your question, I would look in the Bible.

Esther defied Haman, who wasn’t a king, but he was apart of the rulership in the monarchy. She played a major role in having him executed.

All throughout the old testament, (which, granted, things are different…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Starting chapter one now!! I LOVE your cover!

Also, (outside of you) I’ve never heard of Tapas before. Do you recommend it for building an audience/getting attention for your books?

@faith-q So this is personal thoughts, as well as stuff drawn from advice from my awesome dad who’s super good at explaining these things XD I can’t promise my version will be very coherent as I’m exhausted, but here goes XD

Paul said to respect the authority.

Respect and obey are two very, very different things.

The believers were instructed…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Haha!! Sure thing, can you name some things?

@issawriter7 Awwweeee you totally just made my week!!! That makes me supperrr excited to hear! Thank youuuu <3 And girllll sameee about the pantsing T_T I am baddd at it, but also I love doing it because not only is it an adventure to read, even I have no clue what’s going on XDD Eeekk I totally will!!

@lewilliams Ooo those sound fantastic!! I will totally look into them, thank you so much!!! And yes, NaNo is going fantastic!!! This is my first year to dive in and fully commit, but I’m loving it. I really hit a slump after finishing one of my books, and then things got busy so I never tried pulling myself out. Nano realllyy helped me get better…[Read more]

@issawriter7 Tbh, I haven’t read a ton in that genre either XD I love the creativity the genre has to offer though! (Oo really? I definitely need to get a copy of it. It sounds amazing!!)

Eeek that makes me really happy!! I absolutely have plans to publish! I am only 12 chapters in at the moment, but this story holds such a warm place in my…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel YES I  l o v e  that series!!! It’s literally one of the best out there. and so well-thought!!

@elanor it’s totally fine XD

It really is amazing!! I lovee books about Ireland and the Sea. And Vikings. That book just hits me differently than other books do, ngl XD

Isn’t it though?? That’s honestly one of the reasons I love writing so much. It’s nice to know that you have a way to help others when they need it.

You know, I guess I’ve never…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel I was about to get SO mad at you when I saw you talking about The Viking Quest on this forum XDD I went back to read why ‘it didn’t age well for you’ and now I’m sorry for being so upset XD That series is one of my all time FAVORITES <3 it’s one of the first books that got me into reading, I’ve reread it and embarrassing…[Read more]
