(First, I’m sooo sorry for how long it took me to get back. I had a crazy weekend.)

Aww, girl, a HUNDRED MILLION THANK YOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *gasp* THAT IS SOO AWESOME because, it is really hard to get readers to connect with characters in the first few chapters like you said! YESSSS!!!! (lol, yes, he is adorable. XD) THANK…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Aw, you’re right, though, these are incredible stories and shouldn’t really be rushed. Definitely take your time with it and wait on God’s perfect timing. So like @gracie-j said, I kinda liked the idea of the two novels being separate, but the choice is entirely up to you and it’ll be suuuper great no matter which way you choose to…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Ooh, AWESOME!!! Soo, I should admit my writing process is normally 100% different from normal, sane writers processes. I normally write my first drafts how most people write their second ones. But when I start round two, I don’t normally reread my story until later drafts because often it gets very discouraging for me to see all…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Thank you! (I was worried it wasn’t all that great, so I’m super glad that you liked it!:) I think it portrayed their personalities pretty well. Mejia usually isn’t surprised by much or at least doesn’t act like it. And sure! I’d love to monologue talk more about my characters! I mean literally, I’d be happy to…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Haha:) No, I don’t think that’s bad at all, (that was one of the things that made me love Anton so much too XD

@writerlexi1216

That’s alright, I don’t think it was duplicated.
Yep, I am just grateful that I’m safely on this side of the pen/screen from my characters XD

Thank you:) Yeah, I’ve talked about him a little here and there before, but this is the first time I referenced the squirrels XD Though I haven’t officially decided about how the scene will…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Same here XD

Hi Natalie!
I definitely understand struggling to write descriptions. But I think I can help a little with the “show, don’t tell” advice that everyone gives us writers. It means that instead of saying, “she looked at the blue lake and liked it”, say “she admired the lake’s glittering, blue surface.”
Or instead of, “he was strange,” say…[Read more]

@buildsbygideon

Hmm, for me personally a great book that I believe counts in this topic is by Charles. J. Sykes, “50 Rules Kids Won’t Learn In School.” Since I’m not really a fan of non-fiction or life books, I didn’t expect to like it and there are probably a lot of people who will disagree with me when I say how great it is, (I mean the…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad that you liked Mejia:) That makes me grin like *holds hands up* this huge! She is definitely something else, (in fact TSW’s cast is something else if I come to think about it. Mainly because they’re my only WIP cast that doesn’t want to imprison me for being their author. Which is strange because I…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

OOooh, girl, this is SO exciting!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH for tagging me!!!!! I’ll definitely be reading this, but I probably won’t get to it tomorrow if that’s okay. <33 Can’t WAIT!!!!!!! *does not know what wait is capitalized*

@buildsbygideon Hey! Sorry I’m SUPER late to respond to this, I forgot to check notifs lol, excuse my tardiness..

Yes! The story behind my alias is this: I was drawing something in manga style (Japanese drawing) and I was like, “hey, I need a Japanese name if I’m doing Japanese drawing!” So my Japanese name is Megumi Kadotake. (Cool tidbit:…[Read more]

@nova21

That is such a beautiful collage! The colors and images and aesthetic are fabulous:)

@joy-caroline

Thank you:) I don’t mind at all, I love that quote. So true:)

@writerlexi1216

That would be so amazing… *also sighs*

I don’t mind at all. Actually, I’m extremely happy that other people are curious about my characters! 😀 And thank you! Yep, her name is Mejia, (for now that is because I have to invent a Russian version of this name). She was originally fifteen, but it upped it to sixteen after a bit of…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Yep, so definitely relatable. Just recently I swear that I had a brilliant idea….. but I have no idea what it was XD

@writerlexi1216

I know right? I wish there was some machine that could transfer characters from the page to real life, (in fact if I could have a superpower, I’d have to choose that one XD ).
Sure! I’d be ecstatic to answer any question you have for my characters! I love it when people ask questions about them:) Literally, no question is too…[Read more]
