Oy, well, this took a little longer than I thought. *glares at loathsome procrastinating self, my LPS* I had meant to answer A LOT sooner, respond to each of you individually, and definitely NOT wait almost a full month before responding.

As you can see, that didn’t happen.

But thank you all so, so, so, SO, SOOOO much for the stories! I’m…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

How many sibling duos have I written? Oh boy, here we go …

*rubs hands together while chuckling*

So, I have a pair of fraternal twins in my current WIP, a girl and boy. (The boy is one of my main POVs.) Then I also have a pair of side characters who are brothers — I think they’re some of my favourite to write. Then my other main…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Yuh, sibling relationships ftw. When is a story not better with a sibling, or sibling-like relationship?

Since it’s your favorite, how many sibling duos have you written, and do you have a favorite one you’ve written?

@overcomer

Yeah, there definitely is something special with brother friendships.

Maybe because it’s rarer…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Yes!!  I am attempting to have a sort of adoption story in my Eirtan books, but it’s a bit different, (a subplot) dwelling on the complexities of identity and personal callings.

And wow, that was a mouthful! XD

Exactly! Mentor-appprentice relationships and dark pasts are just… delectable. *Happy moan*

@power

I love those too!…[Read more]

@power

Ooo! I love that too! In fact, I have such a duo in my book series … and they’re also estranged brothers. They’re like the two most boss warriors in the land!

@faith-q

WOooOo Imma love this topic XD

I have a few, as it does indeed come from being slightly sheltered that one may say something not as innocent as they thought.

For example, I was texting this friend I had (not too long ago) and we were talking about life and stress and work stuff. And I asked if he was working all the weeknights.…[Read more]

@power it’s a fennec fox type creature!!

@power

Hey!!

Large casts of characters can totally work, and add a lot of depth to the story! The first book that comes to mind is the Silmarillion (which, if you’re a fan of complicated world-building, it’s a MUST READ). I honestly cannot remember HOW many characters are in that book (it is a fictional history book that spans hundreds–or…[Read more]

@power WOW!!! That’s incredible!! I do NOT have the patience for that heh. At all…but as for MC’s, I agree with @trahia-the-minstrel, though I’ve come to learn that it’s your book, your story, your series, etc. Do what you want with it! Wether it becomes famous or not that’s not what matters. What matters is if YOU’RE happy/proud of it!! What’s…[Read more]

@power

It sounds like you’re writing epic fantasy — correct if I’m wrong — but if so having a larger cast isn’t bad. Read Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series if you want to see a huge cast handled magnificently.

However, I would probably recommend that you keep the number of main protagonists to 3 or at the max 5 — just remember that…[Read more]

Ooo, how fun!!! Thanks for tagging me, @devastate-lasting!

Aaaaaaand, since we can talk about anything, plz tell me someone here has read Jane Eyre and loves it as much as I do!!!! (It took serious self control to not put that entire last part in all caps…😂)

(Side note: @power, that was gloriously fun to read… XD)

@power

Ach, it’s Braxton and Destiny! Such good characters…such good lines…

Oh, and did I forget Landmar? Not quite, who could?

@godlyfantasy12

Awesome idea!!! And I love your lines; November and Arabella sounds awesome! 🙂

@karissa-chmil

Wow. I think you have made me one of Scarlet’s biggest fans… 😉

@morgan

Somehow I feel like Jewel and I would agree on a lot of things… XD Love the lines!

@anatra23

Bahaha, I love the second character!😂 Great job on these…[Read more]

*Falls from ceiling, leaving hole in roof. Lands on cushioned couch*

IM GOOD. And I’ll fix that giant hole later …..maybe….XD

HELLO EVERYBODY!! How’s it going? I’ve been working on my Project Garden first draft. OH and I found this awesome program called CampfireWrite if anyone wants to…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting @annabelle @karissa-chmil @power @autumn-rebecca @lavenderbookling @anyone else who joins this thread:

I’ve recently started rewriting my second book. Here’s an excerpt from what I’ve just wrote today:

Salvárdé stood next to Tarûkon as Mérar haggled with the stable owner over the price of such a long-term board. The dark-skin…[Read more]

@annabelle Congratulations on that spotlight! Looks great!

@power Goodness, that accent. XD Have a pirate character in any WIP

@lavenderbookling Heheh, join the club as far as wandering-around-KingdomPen goes. XP

Past few days have been anything but normal, since the aforementioned Young Writer’s Workshop just had a tragedy, so, especially as a…[Read more]

@power Remind me not to deserve the plank…
@annabelle That’s all super awesome! I’m really happy that I joined YWW as well. It’s been really useful. 🙂
 

@annabelle Yeah, you can talk about anything!

Wow, congratulations on your author spotlight! It looks quite interesting!

As someone who is also juggling several projects, I relate. Which one is your favorite story to work on right now?

Ah, I’ve always gotten emails from YWW, but never could bring myself to join. But I’m planning on taking some…[Read more]
