@lydia-s There’s one book series I really loved called the Lost Island of Tamarind by Nadia Aguiar and it has some great sibling relationships, as well as really creative world building in general. I really loved it, although personally I’d rate it pg-13 for violence (and I think a d-word) but it wasn’t too bad. (If you’ve ever watched Lord of the…[Read more]

Oh, awesome! I’ll have to pop in and do that. Thank you so much for letting me know! 🙂 <333
Agh, yessss… I honestly can’t think of that many books that include siblings, let alone in a positive manner. Which is honestly very, very sad. :'(

Hello, my friend! Hope you’re doing well. 🙂 Idk if you remember the AIO podcast chat page, but Naomi from there was wondering about you. Here’s the link (https://www.adventuresinodyssey.com/podcast/video-podcast-avery-awards-team-edition-best-moment-in-the-studio/), but no pressure to hop on if it’d be stressful!

Lydia S. replied to the topic Fairytale Retellings in the forum Genre-Writing 4 years, 3 months ago
Exactly! I’m hoping to be able to work my writing into this next school year. It would be a whole lot easier to stay in touch with my stories if I was required to and earned high school credits off of it. XD
Hahaha, I feel you!!! Apple maps is the same way, unfortunately. I guess Madagascar isn’t the worst place to end up, though.…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What's Your Favorite Relationship Type in Fiction? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 3 months ago
Woah. I thought I had written a lot of sibling relationships, but I can honestly say you’ve beaten me.
And yeah, two friends so close they could be brothers pretty much counts as brothers in my eyes.
Since you have written many brother relationships, have you written any sister relationships in your stories? And if you…[Read more]

This is amazing. I love how you painted such a strong image in just a few lines.
How long have you been writing poetry for? Also, have any tips for a beginner? You know, asking for a friend lol.

@lydia-s GIRL sameeeee. That’s the good stuff right there XD I absolutely love it. I try to include good sibling relationships into my books because it’s so rare in fiction sadly ;-;

How cool! I actually haven’t read anything from those authors yet. Hopefully, I can do that during my senior year. 🙂

Kathleen replied to the topic Find my characters Want/Goal in the forum Characters 4 years, 3 months ago
Well, one option would be that his goal is to confess to his crush or find a way for his crush to confess to him. Depending on what kind of guy he is.
Another option would be that his goal is to get away from his father. Whether that be earning enough money to buy a place away from his home, or to run away.
He could have both…[Read more]

Lydia S. replied to the topic How do you draft/write the "first" document? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 3 months ago
Ah, this is embarrassingly late, but here I am anyway! 😉
My drafting process is a bit odd. Generally, I know how the story begins, and I know how the story or even series ends. Random scenes from the middle pop into my head at random times, but most of it is pretty blurry. The story usually works itself out on its own. I just…[Read more]

Hey y’all so I’m having some difficulty with my character November. I’m trying to answer some questions about my characters, and I’m currently stuck on this one. What is his goal/want in the beginning of the novel (novel one mind you, so project garden).

You and me both, girl!!! I haven’t sat down to write for… oh, a few months now… 😬 Most of my writing happens during spare moments on my phone. If I’m writing on my computer, it’s usually for school. 🙁 Hopefully, that will change here soon. 🙂
So I’m not the only one who’s gotten lost! I’ve ended up in Madagascar several times…[Read more]

A lot of those are on my tbr list. Now that I see you also recommend then I am even more looking forward to reading them!
That’s really interesting! I never thought there was a ‘first’ best selling book, but now thinking about it, of course there had to be one lol.
That’s really cool! Makes me even more interested in…[Read more]

@koshka (Pfft same XD I have a few plans, but we’ll see where that goes)
Ahhh yesss. Charry crushing is so much fun, isn’t it XD
Oh that’s cool!! I’m trying to get myself better at world building and cultures. It’s not my least favorite thing about writing, but it’s not entirely my favorite either XD
