@jenwriter17 Oh, that’s a hilarious quote!  I don’t know what it’s from, but it reminds me of Captain Kirk’s quote from Star Trek TOS where he says “What does God need with a starship?” to the alien who is pretending to be God to try to get them to give him their ship. 😀  I think I’ve also heard a similar quote somewhere else.

Come on, I gave y…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha! You should totally write author-character conversations and post/publish them along with your books.

@seekjustice I put a link to the Wikipedia article in my previous post.  Redshirts on Star Trek became so famous that they became a trope.  To be a redshirt means that you are brought onto the show for the sole purpose of dying. 🙂 Basically.  Read the article Here.

@rochellaine

I don’t know what being a red-shirt in Star Trek means, but it doesn’t sound promising.

I feel that if I promised Chessy that I would never again kill anyone that she loved the conversation would proceed something like Jane Eyre’s conversation with Mr Rochester:

“Do you doubt me, Chessy?”

“Entirely.”

“You have no faith in…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Hahaha!  😀 But sometimes I don’t like it, because I have such a fearful imagination that if the character gets hurt, if I am paying enough attention to the story that part of my body will actually start to hurt.  I have several times had to stop reading to rub my “stubbed” toe or pinch the bridge of my nose to cure my “headache”.

@rochellaine

That was a super sweet story and I liked the moral: You can do anything you want, as long as you are willing to lick envelopes”.

Some possible names:

Caleb–means faithful and that seems a pretty good sum up of his character.

I feel that a quaint simple sort of name fits him and the story well, something like Edward, Peter, John,…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 *hands you a handkerchief* Thank you!  I feel so sorry for @seekjustice‘s characters.  I believe to be a character in Seekjustice’s book promises about as sure a death as to be a RedShirt on Star Trek, TOS. 🙂

@valtmy Those are great suggestions!  I really like the thought that some people might get irritated with her needing them to be with her all the time.

Her aunt and uncle actually don’t live on a ranch.  They live in a house in the middle of the city. (Las Vegas).  They are medium strong Christians, and very laid-back.  They either don’t have chi…[Read more]

Hi everyone!  I have a children’s picture book I’m planning to publish around the end of this month or the beginning of next month. (I am currently working with an illustrator.)  But though the story is complete, I didn’t pick a name for the protagonist, and I think it would be a smoother read if he had a name.

So here is a document with the s…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 You know you’re a bookworm when you get so engrossed in a book that when a character shrugs, you shrug, and when a character bangs his head, you get a headache.

You know you’re a bookworm if when you were twelve if you were reading your mom had to physically shake you before you could hear her talking. (I trained myself out of that…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Yes, or a book.  My quote is from a popular girls book written about a Canadian island circa 1900…Does that give anyone clues?

@kaya-young That sounds like it came from a movie – but then, I really only watch classic movies, so how would I know? 😀  Is it from Disney?

@seekjustice I’m so glad you liked it!

@amily-huddleston Hi!  Welcome!  You write realistic fiction?!! That’s wonderful!  So do I, almost exclusively, but I’ve rarely met anyone else who does.  Fantasy seems to be in style. 🙂

Do you write historical or contemporary?  I do a little of both, but mostly contemporary.

@rochellaine (I did get multiple emails, it was a bit confusing, but that’s okay!)

Oh thank you 🙂 That’s so sweet that you wrote a poem for me!

“And one by one you refuse to let them live” my poor characters. They never had a chance! 🙁

I really love it. I’m copying it into a word document and putting it in the Stars Fill Infinity folder.

@introvert_girl

Wow!! Thanks 😀 She looks pretty cool (and the tag actually did work the first time, I don’t know why it didn’t go green). Thank you so much!

@kaya-young

First of all, yes this is a cool idea! And I definitely think that there would be other people in your local area who would find it interesting! I’m not sure what it’s like in America, but in Australia local and family history is very big and a lot of people write books on it. They can be very interesting if they’re well written!

I…[Read more]

@amily-huddleston

And we add another Lord of the Rings fan to the kingdom!!! 🙂 *shakes your hand vigorously*. I love Faramir too, though I must say I like Frodo and Sam a little better. And Jean Valjean! You like Les Mis as well? We are officially friends now 🙂

Okay, I’ll stop being excited now. Let me think of a sensible question to ask. What…[Read more]

You know you’re a bookworm when you hate a book so much that you want to throw it across the room, but you restrain yourself because the cover is pretty and you don’t want to hurt it.

@amily-huddleston WELCOME TO THE BESTISTEST PLACE ON THE INTERNET!

Yo. I won the game for once. 😉

Ooh, realistic fiction. Do you have a current WIP?

@valtmy Okay, that makes sense, but would the scene have to be before the airport scene, or could it be later in the book as Chara remembers it happening?

There should be a pretty stressful scene in a few pages and I’m planning to have her unable to take care of it until someone helps her.  This should show her at the bottom of her self-reliance…[Read more]
