Hello,

im sorry that you’re going through so much stress.

1. It’s definitely okay to be worried and stressed especially after recovering from COVID. Make sure to do things that prioritize your mental and physical  health above all else.

2. First of all don’t feel bad that you’re not writing right now. You seem to be juggling a lot of stuff…[Read more]

It’s really nice to meet you to

1. I’ve recently started reading fantasy and I love the magic systems. And I plan for there to be a magic system in my own story. But it’s disguised as a science competition so maybe there is a little sci-fi twist in there to!

2. I would like to write some short stories and other stuff (maybe…[Read more]

Guys this is great. I can’t wait for the anthology to come out so we witness your hardwork!

I’m probably later at answering in this thread than Kaunon in returning home. But I love this scene so much! First Kaunon makes the rounds among his different family members. And him reuniting with his parents is really heartwarming. But the kiss that he shared with Alinna is literally the best! Hope you have more heartwarming moments…[Read more]

Sorry for answering up so late. I’m recently been in a stint where I’ve been stressting…um studying for the SAT. Now I’ve decided to come out of my hole and hopefully my days will be more balanced.

I completely understand the fact that you’ve struggled with. I mean Paul is just a great messenger for God when it comes to spreading…[Read more]

Hey. I’m glad you like my name. Precious is a great name for a character in your story and you could make it indicate a lot about their personality

That sounds great! I love the mischeivous character with a heart of gold

Oh that makes so much more sense. It is merciful for them to die when their spouses die. Because immortality isnt as…[Read more]

This is such a great discussion topic. The truth is that I’ve never fallen out of love with writing because I haven’t written consistently enough. I think the reason why is that I put so much pressure on myself that I gave up before giving myself a good start. What’s your advice for this issue? So I think that now this summer that…[Read more]

First of all, can I say that I love all of your discussion topics. Looking through this thread and reading other people’s responses has given me so much inspiration!

I think that Peter’s misbelief makes so much sense because he was once a persecutor of followers of Christ. And after being saved he feels so overwhelmed by…[Read more]

1.That sounds great. It’s so cool that you’re taking initiative with your writing and trying to get more work out.

2.  I’m currently still outlining and discovery writing for my novel idea; I haven’t officially began my first draft yet. I think your short story project will give you more of an opportunity to develop and learn more…[Read more]

Ooh! That sounds great.  Is your story told from the perspective of your villain? Or is your villain more of a antagonist? My work in progress involves main characters who are morally ambiguous because of their worldviews. But I haven’t gotten beyond “stereotypically evil and wants to destroy the world and hurt people” for my…[Read more]

Thank you so much for that excerpt. I really enjoyed it because you got to learn more about Kaunon. In the last one you only understood that Alinna is a brave and selfless person. But here Kaunon was also great and you could really feel his bravery as he fought the dragons and panic about how Alinna was doing.

It totally makes sense…[Read more]

your welcome. ooh thanks, I definitely want to know what happened to Alinna!

Your scene is really interesting. And I could feel the tension between them as Kaunon tried to make Alinna leave without him. And you could also clearly see the love between them. And I love how in this scene girl saves boy. I hope you put out more:)

I think that your scene is super heartbreaking. It makes me feel the same way I feel about historical retellings of the Holocaust. Or if it’s not I’m guessing you’re writing about war.

My favorite quote in your entire scene is

“It’s okay to cry.” The old woman’s voice was soft. “I just thought that bad people didn’t cry.”

Hey Ben! I’m Precious and I’m also kind of new here. I’m also interested in writing science fiction and fantasy and I’ve read some cool adventure fiction. I think that Brandon Sanderson brings the best of these worlds together. I’d recommend The Reckoners series (I read the first one and it’s great). I’ve also heard that Mistborn is a…[Read more]

It’s so nice to meet you! My name is Precious and I’m also new here. I got accepted into the forum about a week before.

1.  I think I’ve already established my love for Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia and I really enjoyed Oliver Twist and Dombey and Son (though Dickens is a little too verbose to be my favorite author). I also…[Read more]

Hey,

1. Okay this is tricky because I dont keep track very well. But I would say

• Bunny by Mona Awad- a weird book I wasn’t sure if I liked very much
• Emma by Jane Austen(I read these in May for an English project)
• Mansfield Park by Jane Austen (” “)
• Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson (The Reckoners series)

2. I remember…[Read more]

It’s nice to meet you too! That’s great. I’d love if you could offer me some reading suggestions

1. I’ve heard of the Marvel Cinematic universe but unfortunately I’ve never watched any of the movies (I know).

2. Sure. My WIP is mostly about a boarding school in an alternate history setting. There are two students who are competing…[Read more]

1. I’ve heard about the site once in a while but I didn’t know what it was about. I’ll definitely look into it. Flash fiction is such an interesting medium and I’m excited to read an alternative history twist.

2. *Gasps* How could you not have read Jane Eyre? (I’m kidding) Sparknotes is really handy and fun fact I’ve read the…[Read more]

Thanks. I really am. And I really admire the mission behind your website. The illustrations are so cute. I wish I had comics like that when I was a kid 🙂

1. My favorite book would have to be Jane Eyre by Jane Austen. It’s problematic on so many ways but I just love a gothic romance. But I read in a wide variety of genres with fantasy and science fiction being my new favorites. As to my favorite movie that’s too hard to choose. I watch a lot of Nigerian Christian movies. And my…[Read more]

Thanks. I’m so excited to be here. As to pineapples on pizza? Never tried it but definitely no.

Hey,

1. No pets. If I could have a dog though it would be a siberian husky. They’re so beautiful and fluffy.

2. Favorite animal would be lions. What I want to be so bad is like Lucy and get a ride on Aslan

3. Reading I guess. And convincing myself that randomly scouting for interesting articles on Pinterest is NOT procrastination. Its…[Read more]

Hi Ariel,

1. I’ve been writing for a pretty long time, though I’ve just started to get consistent with it. My notes app is filled with tons of uncompleted stories because if I didn’t release them my head would explode. I’ve been bullet journaling almost daily for about 3 years now.

2. My favorite flavour would be vanilla. And then…[Read more]

I guess that means we’re twinsies because it’s also my first attempt!

1. No I haven’t gotten to Lord of the Rings yet. Does that make me an outcast? Cause I feel as if it’s something I need to be in the right headspace to enjoy.

2. My favorite animal would be a lion. They are so beautiful and majestic. When I was little I had dreams of…[Read more]

I’m relatively new to science fiction writing but I’m really getting into the genre. Your WIP sounds great and mine is really similair on a basic level.

1. My main characters (It’s going to be a multi POV novel) are minorities at an elite academy in an alternate reality. I’m really excited to start exploring their cultures and histories.…[Read more]

I got through the first two chapters of your book with my tokens and I thought it was great. The prologue was interesting and mysterious and I had a great time getting to know Ulysses. He seems really likeable and I sympathize with his story. Could you give me a brief summary please. What country are they supposed to be in?…[Read more]

Thanks, you’re so kind!

1. Alternate history is when you change up a historical event and explore how subsequent events would change as a result of this. For example on a minor scale if Joseph Priestley didn’t try to infuse water with carbon dioxide we wouldnt have soda. And then you would explore what our world would possibly look like…[Read more]
