You  know you’re a writer when you silently cheer when you have to write an essay and everyone else is groaning.
You know you’re a writer when you have a whole drawer full of old notebooks.

Understanding the Truth About IdentityÂ
Needless to say, I love to write and would subsequently call myself a writer. I’ve never really questioned this up until recently.
Not too long ago however, I started having doubts. In my English class at school I sit next to two students which I suppose you would call straight A students. They, unlike…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when the only part of maths you can stomach is algebra because it has letters in it …

😀 I was in the waiting room of a hospital ( I wasn’t ill or anything) and was reading a really good book. It’s called Addison Blakey: Confessions of a Pk and at one point I’m sure I was laughing out loud. I don’t know what the people at the hospital were thinking 😄

You know you’re a bookworm when you’re surrounded by people and you suddenly start laughing when you remember your favourite scene from the book you’re reading 😀Or when it happens at school. 😝

I know it’s already been said but the Ascendance Triology by Jennifer Neilsen is definitely a worthwhile read.

Hi @epicaddie2
I heard about your prayer for a friend and I feel like I just wanted to say that I totally understand what you feel like. Recently, I experienced some of the crazy things that have happened in your church. Praying has become more wild and I’ve really experienced the power of the presence of God. I go to a public school and after…[Read more]

Thanks! I’ve read and made comments on the margin at the moment and will probably have to rewrite a lot…

So…
I’ve done it, I’ve written my first draft (okay that was about three months ago.) Now, all I see are glaring plot holes, some mistakes and several areas I want to improve. And what have I done to my draft since then… Nothing. It seems that I am a bit lost. Does anybody have any advice on what to do once you have written a first draft? Any…[Read more]

Actually my name’s got another story to it. I haven’t actually seen Hamilton although I really like musicals and my favourite is Les Mis.

I know the basic areas of my story I want to improve and flaws in the plot that I think I want to improve but past that I’m not sure what to do next. I’ve gone through and read it, making comments as I’ve gone along as well.

Editing my book seems to be the hardest part so I’ve been at a bit of a block for a couple of weeks 😬 Â At the moment I’ve been reading a lot instead and the latest book I’ve read is from the Cat Royal series by Julia Golding.

I like any Christian bands really especially United Pursuit. They’ve got a really good album called Simple Gospel that I’d reccomend.

Yep I love that Pride and Predjudice but if you want a comedy my favourite is the Bollywood musical version of the film- Bride and Prejudice. It’s really good !

Hi! My story at the moment  is about an eleven year old school girl who solves mysteries in her boarding school with the help of her five best friends. I’m at the end of the first draft now though which isn’t as fun as writing it 😂

I love mysteries and recently heard of a genre called cosy crime. The crime isn’t too gruesome and the protagonist is often funny or has some relatable idiosyncrasies.
