I love organs, especially when the organist really pulls the stops on a hymn like “How Great Thou Art!”
That is one of the most beautiful things ever! Tear-jerking! Makes me think there might be organs in heaven… wait, imagine an organ in heaven?! A perfect, heavenly organ!!!!! 😀
Bagpipes just make me happy. I don’t know why. …

Um…since I was 13, so for about five years. I have seven siblings and we eat a lot of homemade bread around here. 😮 So we make about four loaves a week. Yeah. 😀

Wow! I really feel the tension and conflicting emotion here! Great job!
I’m curious how you make Christopher and Briana finally forgive each other… 🙂

First off, I love your name! I don’t believe we’ve met yet. I’m Lightoverdarkness6, a young teenage girl who loves writing, reading, playing piano, and exploring in the woods near our house. I saw that you love Lotr and Monte Cristo!! I do too! Who’s your favorite character? My favorite from Lotr is Samwise Gamgee or Aragorn and my favorit…[Read more]

My sis, bro and I read it and here’s our thoughts, respectively:
Absolutely intriguing, really pulls you in, can’t wait for more!
Decent…if I picked up this book I would keep reading.
I really like it! The twin dynamic is fun. As for personalities, I’m sort of getting that Aedan is resourceful, alert and protective of his sister.…[Read more]

I really like it! I love the character’s immediately, and want to know what happens next! 😀
The only thing I might suggest is just making it a little longer, for a first chapter it was pretty short. That’s just me though, I like to describe things a lot, therefore my chapters are a bit long. A lot of the description you used of the mc’s…[Read more]

Arien started the topic First chapter of my book . . . in the forum Novel Critique Requests 3 years, 10 months ago
Okay, I said I’d post something from my last book, A Dream Come True, so here is the pitch and the first chapter!
First, the pitch:
Elinor and her twin brother Aedan were supposed to be like children to the Dickinsons. Instead, the Dickinsons treat them more like slaves. When Aedan learns that the Dickinsons are planning to sell them as servants…

Favorite character? Ah, that’s hard. Too hard… I can’t 🤣 I love them all! Probably Sam or Boromir, though. What about you?
Oh yes, Sam. He’s the best! So loyal and loving all the way there and back! I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say they liked Boromir though. I’m curious, why? 🙂
What about you?
Definitely Eowyn, followed close…[Read more]

I haven’t read any Jane Austen novels, but I watched some of Pride and Prejudice when my sister was reading it. Are they good? (You said they were your favorite, so I’m assuming so 😆)
Funny…when I was reading the books, my sister watched the movies… “) I wanted to read the books first because I wanted the “full experience”. I lik…[Read more]

Lol, I was so focused on intitail thought I forgot to say how good it was! Also, it makes so much more sense with christopher having anxiety, I can really feel for him more with knowing that. Also I think this is going to turn out really cute 😀
It was really good, and like I’d love to read more. 😁 Love the tension, but like how…[Read more]

Yes, The Count of Monte Cristo is so good! Wow, that’s cool your dad likes it! It doesn’t seem like the kind of book that a non-book person would really like, just because it’s so long and has some complicated stuff. (Seriously, I almost lost patience with it when I read it the first time, because just as I was getting into the…[Read more]

Your WIP sounds good! I read the first chapter that you posted on here a while ago, and I liked the way you used their diaries for flashbacks and telling the story.
The whole adoption thing is in book 2. (I write so out of order sometimes 🤣)
Me too! I’m thinking about a sequel to A Dream Come True, so I’ve written a few…[Read more]

I’m from the Midwest; I love writing, creative lettering, cartography, decorating, baking, languages, and medical science. I’d like to go into the medical field someday–specifically exercise or nutrition (basically lifestyle coaching)–though I’d prefer marriage and raising a family over a career ;P But it’s good to have a backup plan…

Heyooo
Everybody else said so many things that there’s not much left for me to say XD
First, great job with the intensity of the scene!!! 😀 😀 😀
As far as ideas to make it better, I love to see the build-up of emotion in Christopher’s body language before he snaps at her. I can see at the first little bit that he’s trying to…[Read more]

Amen! The King reigns!
I’m not very experienced in it, but anytime I make anything from scratch it’s so much more enjoyable than buying it at a store!! What’s your favorite aspect of homesteading?
My favorite aspect…let’s see. Probably gardening. I like that a lot and it’s so relaxing and beautiful!
Since I’m into History too, I like…[Read more]
