*I definitely don’t think age does matter much. (Just wanted to clarify that because rereading the original line was confusing me so much and I had to use context of what I said later on to figured it out. XD)

Thank you! I do have to give you some credit for helping me better flesh out this understanding where I won’t limit myself f…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

I completely agree with you! You put it much better than I did. XD

To be honest, considering everything you said, I definitely don’t think age doesn’t matter much. Probably a little but not in the way it does for me. I just happened to have characters in their 20s that deal with adult-like content but that fact doesn’t mean it…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Fair points. I’m probably too strict about the age for characters a little too much, and thinking on it, if you’re writing Christian fiction it’s way less of a problem than writing for the secular audience. There are of course will be always exceptions to this “rule” of mine, which I probably should have mentioned before.

Like everyone is saying, your intuition tells you whether or not a book needs to be a standalone or a series. I definitely work that way too, but I’m also learning to be cautious when considering making a book that was originally a standalone have a sequel or a series. Also even books you planned as a series need to have caution…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I loved first person POV, just it being in present tense bothered me for quite a while. I can’t remember which books I read that were present tense or past tense first person POV. XD I know that Hunger Games was one of them. And maybe Instant Karma by Marissa Meyer? And Summer Blue Bird by Akemi Bird Blue? Oh, also 100 days of…[Read more]

@anatra23

I have only ever read the first book in Percy Jackson series and that’s it. I know that’s probably not a good judge for the whole series, I really don’t care for the Greek mythology at all, which is the whole point of the series, right? Exploring Greek Mythology in the modern times and all that? I’m sorry. I feel bad for not liking it…[Read more]

@anatra23 @jodi-maile

Present tense first person is definitely special, haha. I 100% get it why a bunch of people would dislike it. But it can work really well in the story it’s in cause I don’t even notice it anymore once I’m past the first page now.

Also I am the only one here who disliked Percy Jackson? *hides*

@kathleenramm

This is a small thing, but I use to hate present tense first person. It really bothered me and it was hard to read for a while. But after reading it several times, plus enjoying most of the stories with this, it grew on me. Now I quite like it. Not my favourite type for POV, but I could see myself writing in that style one day…

@precious-y

No worries! I enjoyed reading your answer to the last question! You are so right about that. 🙂 Book genres is such an interesting topic, hey!

Ohh, literary fiction? That’s awesome! I’m excited for these stories!

@precious-y

*stumbles into the room* *notices new person* Oh, hey! I’m Ribbon Ash! Or Miranda. I have two names haha and I love them both, but I digress. Welcome fellow writer and reader!

I would say I’m a fantasy and dystopian writer, but honestly considering the sort of ideas I get these days I think it’s best to say I’m a multi-genre writer.…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Thank you for the encouragement. I’m definitely trying to be mindful of this and give myself a lot of grace. It’s hard but it is worth it in the end. <3 <3 <3

@e-k-seaver

Ahh, I would love to help but I’m a bit too busy right now. 🙁

@kathleenramm

YES! Like everyone. XD Okay, okay, just to pick a few, I loved Peter, Reagan, Evan, Jackson and Spencer the most. 😀

It was an indie book called How We Rise by Brooke Riley. It was amazing. I could talk about it all day! The characters were so lovable and relatable. The world was the perfect blend of contemporary and dystopian that you feel at home but also horrified (the best way to explain it). The plot is both chill and thrilling (much like the world). I just…[Read more]

@akbaer

Oh, that’s so cool! I wished I owned them! I read them originally from the library. I would love to my own copies because it is my childhood favourite series! 🙂 Hehe, I took advantage of that. XD

@akbaer

Sorry for the late reply!

Aww, thank you.

Ohhh, I haven’t heard of The Endling or The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. I should look them up and probably add them to my TBR. 🙂 The Hobbit is a great book! I’ve only read the first book for both The Hunger Games and Harry Potter but I really enjoy them so I hope to read the rest…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Wow, perfect timing with this topic because I just happened to realised the other week that I had fallen out of love for writing. I’m just now recovering from a year and half of not being as in love as I was when I was younger, when I first started. I have several reasons.

(1 I had to restart and get new ideas with God more in the…[Read more]

@akbaer

Hey! I’m Ribbon Ash, also known as Miranda. Welcome!

I’m a quiet person unless I’m with my best friends too. I love fantasy. I mostly write fantasy but I also write dystopian and have ideas for contemporary/paranormal and sci-fic stories. I read in most genres. My WIP is called our Scattered Ashes and it’s about a male cyborg solider…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

No problem! This was a fun topic! 😀
