Cool!!!! Sometimes I’ll listen to the Lord of the Rings soundtrack ’cause it’s got some AWESOME instrumental music!! HIGHLY recommend it!! But right now I’m jamming to some awesome Jason Gray, Hawk Nelson, David Crowder, Danny Gokey, and other ones. I think I’m like the only writer who likes listening to face-past…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

I’ve written 810 words in Heir to His Crown!!!! It’s been hard to get this one scene down. I’m calling it the “explanation scene.” Basically, where I have to explain this super complicated magical daggers. And I’m not sure how. WHOOO!!!!! That’s AWESOME!!!!!!!! You’re on a ROLE!

@joy-caroline

How’s things going so far?

@joy-caroline

Okay! AWESOME!!! I’ll get to work on that!!!

Honestly, I don’t know if half of the people who read that stuff are really wanting it only that they just don’t care. If more people would push and publish clean stories, I think they’d do just as well!! I TOTALLY agree with you on that one. I think that’s a good thing to keep in mind…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

@joy-caroline

Oooh, would you like me to try to come up with one for The Anointed?? I LOVE coming up with taglines! They’re fun!!!!

Also, I hope you don’t mind me jumping into your conversation with Lily, but probably a big reason you see stuff like that in MG books is ’cause the secular publishing (and even sometimes the Christian one) is…[Read more]

@gracie-j

I hope it’s okay, but I checked out your site!!! It’s AWESOME!!!!! <33 I like the name “Gabbing with Grace.” Neat!!

@joy-caroline

Impressive! I literally do not like writing those back-cover summaries. Mine always come out soooo cringy. 😂

@abigail-m

Aww, I LOVE THIS QUOTE TOO!!!!! It’s sUpEr motivating for me!!!!!

@gracie-j

This is AWESOME!! Can’t wait to see what everyone else has to bring to this topic!!! I sadly am VERY limited in this stuff. The only thing I might can add is that I’ve got a few interesting facts about the middle ages. *shrugs* Now I’m gonna go research stuff so I can bring more interesting topics to the table. 😂

@abigail-m

I may um…also be copying and pasting this in a Google doc, too!!!!! It’s some SUPER GOOD info that’ll come in handy to have for me!!!!

@joy-caroline

I think it’s SUPER AWESOME!!!!!! It’s waaaaay better than my synopsis for Into the Lamp. I’m terrible at writing those things. It sounds like enough for a full-length novel!!!! <33 AWESOME JOB!
