Yesss that’s the one. oh yes, definitely read them! they’re well done. I like my history, so historical fiction is cool to read, though I suck at writing it XD

I admit my to-be-read list is very short. XD I want to read some classics, but I am not sure where to start. Les Miserable is one I do plan to read when I have lots of time to…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I will have to check ATLA out, my best friend has nothing but good to say about it. I think I’ll enjoy them.

@kathleenramm

yes, those are the best! I am attempting to write one of those charries right now… not sure I’m succeeding XD meh, whatever I’ll try anyways

Yes, they’re historical fiction, and I totally liked them. Be prepared for tears at certain points. They are Young Adult, and although they’re not graphic in war descriptions, if you don’t…[Read more]

@abigail-m

sorry forgot to tag you on the response XD

@kathleenramm

Ah ok, I figured. Sorry, I am TERRIBLE with figuring out names for charries. It’s like me trying to use the pain scale to tell the doctor how bad my pain is XD

Doctor: “So, your pain is, what, on a scale from 1 to 10?”

me: “Uhhh… five?” *silently “this is why I use Voltaren and don’t tell people. Stupid pain scale.” XD

@gracie-j Absolutely! Ooo really? Well if it’s working out for both of you, then I may have to try it XD

One thing I already don’t like about Vella is that the descriptions for your novels are verrry limiting. I’m having trouble writing mine for Vella loll. We’ll figure it out tho, it’s fine XD

@keilah-h Loooolll poor characters XDD We really do so much to them T_T

And yeah same, I can’t stand reading or watching any kind of gore or anything, but I do tend to hurt my characters a bit XD Not too much, because if it’s constantly dark, then I tend to lose interest, but definitely enough to spice things up XD

Thanks! Move went well!

Thank you, I’d like to try. I’m actually going through my 1st draft and realizing “oh my word! this character is waaaay too elusive!” like, she’s orphaned, yes, but her adopted family is sort of ‘there’ and not there. Like, her cousins are mentioned, but they never come into the story! XD that annoyed me XD so I have added…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

uhhh wow!!! I love it! so good

sorry I’m late on commenting.

I really like it! The flow is fitting, in my opinion; like, how I imagine the queen from how you describe is; lost, suspicious, somewhat regretful, bitter, and mind wandering in the past, so her thoughts are short, blunt, to the point, and not too many details added…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

my favorite backstory… oooof that’s hard

XD

well, it would have to be…

Lord Rodolpho Greco from The River of Time series; he’s a traitor for most of the series, and you’re never sure if he’ll turn on the MC because he’s so elusive and never reveals what he’s thinking, but has the skills and the power, and the elusive…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Oooo congrats for reaching your climax!!!

Idk if they’ll help you much, but some tips I’ve picked up are:

The human brain naturally loves to see character(S) argue with others/themself. They don’t need to just all agree at once on a plan and walk into the epic showdown, let them argue, whether it’s with themselves, or with the…[Read more]

@gracie-j Sure thing! I’m hoping it’ll take off, since it’s linked to Amazon and all, who’s like one of the biggest powerhouses for books, but we’ll definitely see loll. Good luck on doing yours on your blog! Do you think you’ll ever set up a paywall?

@joy-caroline

Well, to be honest, stories kinda come to me.  I can’t really force myself to come up with ideas, but I do enjoy finding prompts (on Reedsy: https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/).  I also find great ideas when I’m reading;  for example, I was reading The Chosen by Taran Matharu and I thought about traveling between worl…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

One thing that I suggest is a personality change/evolution in your cast of characters:  the villain might change for better or descend into a downward spiral.  The secondary characters might end up sacrificing themselves for their friends, or maybe they betray them.  The MC might end up getting what they’ve been trying to get th…[Read more]

@gracie-j Oo, that’s not horrible though! I might need to play with that some day!
