Ooh, I love that! ‘Joy C. Woodbury’ looks, sounds, and is, awesome, (I agree, the middle initial thing is pretty cool).
Thank you! 😀 Me too, I love CSFTS. I think my favorite books have gotta be the ones for writers, (have you read those? I think there’s only two of them so far). My sister prefers the cat compilations which also…[Read more]

I think that using your initials would be an excellent choice! (You’re so right, it looks amazing!)
*Whew* that’s good to know! I am so glad that I’m not 🙂 -

Abigail.M. replied to the topic Using a Pen Name: Yay or Nay? in the forum Publishing & Platform 3 years, 4 months ago
I think that in fantasy, initials are a continuous popularity, like say J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and J.K. Rowling. Although on the other hand, other fantasy stars like Niel Gaiman just stick with their real name and go with that.
Some writers like to take on pen names for the obvious reasons like privacy and genre-switching or…[Read more] -

Abigail.M. replied to the topic How did you come up with the idea for your current WIP? in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 4 months ago
Huh, I’ve never been able to really word my struggle with plots before, but you just did. I mean that is the EXACT problem I have. I have all these scenes and big events and a grasp of the concept, but it just feels like these big boulders of plot points with pieces of string tied from one to the other for the characters to cross to…[Read more]

XD Well, JC sounds awesome. Kinda like CS in Clive Staples Lewis or JRR like Tolkien 🙂 Oh yes, that is true. You are still expected to publicize; one of my poems is going to appear in a Chicken Soup For The Soul book, and they’re already sending me information, informing me on all the hows and whens and dos and don’ts of what they…[Read more]

Hi Ella! I may be able to help you on the level of a depressing theme getting to you. I have done it in the past where a theme or plotline that I feel should be in my writing. Or a theme I think will make my writing better or one that feels like a strong theme. I do it because I to, literally need strong themes in my work to keep my love…[Read more]

yeah it’s so easy for me to have the character completely planned out to the point I know them “all their life” and forget that the readers don’t lol
thanks! I hope so… at any rate a couple people love it, so that’s all I need to keep going. Well… that and huge mugs of tea and lots of dark chocolate 😂
Well your MC will be amazing…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-assasain
Wow, this a 100% epic idea! I’m bringing Twinkies because I’m terrible at baking things, (looks back in memory at melted cookies and black charcoal cakes… *shudders* never going back to the wilds of the kitchen again).
Okay, getting down to serious business (not saying that Twinkies aren’t serious or anything), my gift ‘t…[Read more] -

That’s awesome to hear! I’m glad the move went well:)
Ah yes XD Some of my characters do the same thing sometimes, my villain became so elusive, (probably because I had ignored him for a while), that he kind of disappeared. But I’m sure that your work is amazing:DThat is a good idea and definitely worth consideration and you are so ri…[Read more]

Story ideas… yeah, I have the same struggle (I seem to have the same writerly struggles as all of yall XD But that’s a good thing too, we’re all writers in this together:)
I got the idea for The Snow Warrior years ago. I was flipping through a costume magazine and spotted one costume in particular that suddenly gained all my atten…[Read more] -

Your WIP sounds amazing Relia! Ah, yes, this is yet again a very late reply, (I can only escape to the forum to write these only so often during the summer).
Haha, yes, tbh I have no idea how anybody ever found me there XD

No worries! Busy weeks are life 🙂 *cough* this late reply as well. Ooh, you’ve read the first two of The Space Trilogy? I’ve got those two, though I haven’t read them yet, I’m planning on it soon, (I already have over ten books that I’ve started now). But I’ve been reading C.S.

@joycaroline
This is awesome! I remember the character collage you have done for my MC a while back and it was epic!! 😀 If you have time yet, maybe a birch-tree-themed bookmark? I’d be very appreciative. But only if you have the extra time (I know how easy it is to have limited time).
