Very true. Besides writing, what are some other favorite hobbies of yours?
I think have too many hobbies for my own good, but I wouldn’t want to have it any other way. XD
ugh, comparison is the worst right? Even comparing yourself to something that you wrote before can be discouraging if you feel like your…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Ooo, awesome question!! Hmm, let’s see. Well, a lot of my inspiration comes from the little things:
- characters in movies

- people (on the street, at school, at the grocery store/park)
- prompts/aesthetics on Pinterest
- dialogue
- weird “what if” questions that know one but me would ask myself, lol
- the news

What do you do when you feel discouraged and feel like giving up a novel or writing as a whole?
When I get discouraged, I first try to figure out why. Why am I feeling discouraged? Sometimes the answer is different, but most of the time its because I feel like my writing isn’t “good enough”. Which seems kinda silly, but it’s also a super common…[Read more] -
Kathleen replied to the topic What was your favorite and least favorite thing about the last book you read in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 7 months ago
That’s really interesting how you thought Xavier was awful, but everyone liked him! You must be a better writer than you think.
That was one of my favorite books when I was nine! I haven’t read it recently, but I still have fond memories of it and of course Sage.
Interesting thought! I guess there might be…[Read more]

Great topic! …now I have to remember what I read last! 😆 I’m pretty sure it was The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen. My favorite thing was probably the MC, Sage’s, personality. He was street-smart and sarcastic, but also noble. My least favorite thing was the pace. A lot of the time it was super slow, with occas…[Read more]

Yes, I definitely agree about not having to read heavy material all the time. Sometimes, if I read too much heavy stuff it weighs on me and even gives me insomnia. Not that heavier books are bad, (they can teach you a lot of things), but too much of anything isn’t good.
So yeah, I too like to read a good children’s book here…[Read more]

The most recent book I’ve read is Spinning Silver, which is a retelling of Rumpelstiltskin.
My favorite thing about it was the atmosphere. It was like a magical winter wonderland and the author did a really good job at…[Read more]

Awesome topic! Well, the first story I ever wrote (called “The Terres of the Man”) was about three animals: Wanna (I mean, what the heck??? XD) the horse, Carrie the anteater, and Joe the frog. There is a “Mean Man” who kidnaps Joe and brings him to his cave, which is a “terres” in case anyone is interested. 🤦♀️ Wanna and Ca…[Read more]

Oh, yes! A Pirate movie/Tv show would be so fun to write a screen play to. To see your swashbuckling story come to life on screen would be truly amazing.
I Think I watched Beyond the Mask a while back. What are some of your favorite things about the movie?
Mafia and Fairies? I’ve loved both for a long time, but it never…[Read more]
