fair enough! I’m glad you liked it!
😀 I like recognising actors too, it makes me feel like a real teenager. Unfortunately the actors I like aren’t very well-known, so it kind of spoils it, but oh well!
Those disclaimers make me laugh when they’re in the front of historical books with real people in them 😀
I think that I do do…[Read more]

Cool! I haven’t read the full excerpt yet, but I mean too!
The Jane Austen one? Thank you!
Um…haha, yes it is. I’d forgotten that was there. it was a collage for a story I wrote about a year ago, and it used to be super hard to post collages on here. Instead of turning up on the forum thread, it ended up as my background, so I…[Read more]

@rochellaine I love it! You have me really excited to see what’s next, and I’m pretty sucked into the story from the first few pages on, so good job! PLEASE WRITE MORE! and post it or you could just hurry up and write the whole thing and send it to me please! 😉 😉 😉

Hello! I’m kind of just hanging around on the internet at the moment, but I really need to do some more characterisation!

@rochellaine yeah, I get your meaning. When I said ‘horse book’ I just meant any book with horses in it. They didn’t have to be a main part of the story. I watch a lot of westerns and part of my love of them is ’cause they have horses in them. But yeah, I get what you’re sayin’

Kaya Young replied to the topic Contemporary Western Novel in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 7 months ago
@rochellaine  Yup! I wonder the same thing! I enjoy observing people and certain characteristics will come to mind while I’m writing. I guess I could put “This is not based on any real person, and any similarity to a real person is unintentional on the author’s part except the lady at the grocery store, the old man who sits in front of us in ch…[Read more]

@rochellaine don’t worry, I’m in no way, shape, or form against romance!
I just don’t like when something like this seems to have gone on in the author’s mind: “Ooh, now here’s an original idea! the perfect girl gets the perfect guy and they live happily ever after on their perfect horse ranch.”
So just as long as It’s a believable romance…[Read more]

@rochellaine 😀 That sounds interesting.
I haven’t read many Westerns, but I would read that.

@rochellaine OH, SPANISH MOSS!!! Yes, that is gorgeously mysterious!
@princessfoo Heheh, that’s funny. I can totally imagine that happening to me.
@mariposa Yeah I think I’ve gotten the “How you gonna pay the bills?” question at least once.
Funny the mistakes we make in writing…..Thank goodness for editing………i guess. 🤔

Seriously?! Chaucer is among the most beloved and most fascinating writers of all time, and no one has made a topic about him?!
So far, I have only read the Knight’s Tale (a story from The Canterbury Tales) for school, but I have to admit, it is an amazing poem. It’s so full of depth and truth for the Middle Ages. It’s one of the best things I…[Read more]

Kike skredder, I don’t usually read westerns but it sounds like you’re off to a good start! 😀
I like how the plot doesn’t revolve around her friendship with one of the horses. -

@rochellaine This sounds really cool!
I like how you have given her height issues because it’s way different than the “tall and blond beauty from the city” that you usually see in that kind of book or movie. I also like how you didn’t give her a romance with the local boy who is “really cute and just happens to have horses and be…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 This sounds like fun!
Once, at my book club, I was talking about the Chronicles of Narnia, and how I loved the narrator’s voice in the story. My friend said something like, “Oh, you listened to it on audio book?” Then I proceeded to stumble through an explanation of how I meant the style of writing and stuff, thinking “This is…[Read more]

@rochellaine Hmm, this is kinda interesting. I don’t usually read western type stories, but this certainly has an interesting pull to it.

@rochellaine Cool! I love moss too. ‘nature’s carpet’ I call it. 😜I took a picture once of a tree that had a lot of roots exposed (’cause that’s the kind of tree it was) ’cause it looked like something from a fantasy novel.

This sounds like my kind of book! I love horses and westerns!!! I agree with SeekJustice (and I’ve read a lot of horse books), but I think it could be interesting. 😉👍
