@Tatiana Oh wow! Yeah, that’s a great point. XD Thanks so much for the suggestion! And go for the poetry things! It’s a lot of fun, and if you do free verse, it’s something that doesn’t take a lot of time to do! 😀

@Daeus — Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, lines things are something I like playing around with, but don’t always get it “right.” xD

@Shaina — Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I really like this poem! I would almost play around with capitalization with the “ands” to provide almost a false sense of a broken continuation of the sentence before like an…[Read more]

Hope,

I watched Epic (and shamelessly enjoyed it!) and loved the sound track! I’ve found that it has been helpful for when I’m writing more from the good guy’s perspective while they’re building up to something or working together to solve a problem. 🙂

Hey, dudette!

This is actually something I’ve been struggling with myself, and I’m afraid I don’t really have a great answer. That being said, it never hurts to sketch out your world map. Even if no one else ever sees it, it’s helpful for when you’re writing. So, I’d say at least to start out, try and freehand a general idea of the map and then…[Read more]

Awwwwwwwwww! Hey, I tell y’all what, all of you make it worth it! 🙂 KP people are some of my favorites! ;D

Hi all! Oooo! I love Lord of the Rings, too! 🙂 And the Chronicles of Narnia!! Favorite from LotR is definitely Return of the King. All of the strings are tied up and the story comes to its grand finale in it. 😀

As far as picking favorite books goes– it was tortuous to choose just one until last year when I read “This Present Darkness” by Frank…[Read more]

And now I understand, after much searching, the Toothbrush Twins idea…

My toothbrush is blue and white. xD

@Taylor: Indeed I do!

@Sage: Sounds awesome! Can’t go wrong with airships and pirates! XD

Hrmmm… what helped me when I was writing younger audience sort of kids books was I thought like they might think. Not all the time, mind you, but think about what they now and what they love and play off that.

@Skye: XD My reading often comes in spurts as well… Mostly due to my lack of time x3

@Taylor: Awesome! You’ll have to tell me what you think! I’m working on that myself. And welcome to the Forum! It’s a really great place 😉 Let me know if you have any questions or ask our awesome forum moderator.

@ Skye — That sounds awesome! My mom is a big fan of Lori’s, although I’ve never read one of her books myself… and inspirational stuff is good!! Make no mistakes there 😉

@Bethany — Coolio! Hope you enjoy it! One choice can change your future and what not xD

@Bethany: Hah! That counts as reading, methinks! I quite enjoyed Divergent when I read it myself. More morals and reasons for death in there than in the Hunger Games. In my opinion, Insurgent is even better. I haven’t read Allegiant yet though. Hope you enjoy reading them and continue on with the series!

As for an update for what I am reading, I…[Read more]

@Kat — yeah! I’ve read the first one and absolutely loved it! So onto the second one 🙂 I have not read that book.

@Hannah — Cool! That sounds awesome!

@Hannah– Cool! What was “Dreamlander” about? I think I’ve heard of it before… not sure. Hah! Fantasy is sort of what I live on… no joke. xD
