Ach, it’s Braxton and Destiny! Such good characters…such good lines…

Oh, and did I forget Landmar? Not quite, who could?

@lydia-s

Wow! Those are fantastic! I especially love that middle one. XD

@godlyfantasy12

Those are some wonderful lines! (And action tags; November is awesome.)

@kathleenramm

If the word are cooperative and characters are caught in the midst of some dilemma or moment of humor, then I think I get excited. However, most of the time I’m kinda neither. It usually settles me into a quiet bit of daydreaming/brainstorming. Like I said, if everything’s working, then I can get excited and want someone to read…[Read more]

@madelyn

Sorry I’m so late in replying. Life is nuts.

That sounds AWESOME! I love good farytales and retellings, some of my favorite authors being George MacDonald, C. S. Lewis, Gail Carson Levine, and Hans Christian Andersen. (Or at least some of his stuff)

I would definitely appreciate a retelling of Rumplestiltskin, especially as that story…[Read more]

@madelyn

That’s okay. 😉 I wasn’t very clear. The Lost Kingdom of Barmarre was mostly pretty fun; I enjoyed it, and had difficulty putting it down.

Even when it was past midnight…

Anyway,

Yes! It is a good book.

Thank you!

There’s so much potential in losing his gift, which might be a bit of work to figure out, but it will definitely be…[Read more]

@faith-q

We’ll, right now I can’t think of many actually funny stories which would make sense out of context, which is annoying as I know of many.

@madelyn

Hmmm, I don’t think so? I’m sorry for being confusing. (Which I can definitely be.) I think Gail Carson Levine wrote those, and I’ve read some of her stuff (like Ella Enchanted), though not those you just mentioned. Maybe I’ll have to look into them. 🙂 (I did read one called something like The Lost Kingdom of Bamarre, so that might…[Read more]

@madelyn

Yeah, Ella Enchanted is good.

If I ever remember the author of Ella, I’ll put it on here. There’re a bunch of different books with the title, but this particular one has a very unique twist. I mean, what other one has the stepsisters be realistic or suffer as well as Ella? Or a pet chicken that likes gossip? (Okay, don’t answer that, I…[Read more]

Oh, and your idea sounds marvelous! That’s such an interesting twist, for the child to be taken, I mean. Is it all in backstory?

@madelyn

Oooo! Fractured Fairy tales are super fun! I’ve only read a few, and can’t exactly give any advice, but I have a few thoughts etc.

And, hey, you said to say anything, so…

Have you ever read Ella? I know there are tons of Cinderella retelling, and Ella Enchanted is probably one of the best, but I thought I’d recommend this one.

(And…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Characters.

Usually I think of a character in a setting, with a bit of their backstory. That backstory and setting then point to what may happen/ what the plot will be.

However, they don’t always communicate perfectly, so I often end up with only a vauge idea about what the plot actually is.

I used to say that all my books were…[Read more]

@keilah-h

This topic is phenomenal! Now I’m itching to answer those questions.

Because crazy questions are some of the best kinds there are…

A character that I don’t like but I don’t hate.

Rabadash is horrible, but also Ridiculous. For that I can despise him as a person, but enjoy him as a character. There are most likely a bunch of these,…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Yes!! That would be fun.

@karissa-chmil

Those are some very interesting lines. Scarlet sounds like quite the character.

@anatra23

Those lines are hilarious. They capture a child’s active mind so we’ll.

And please, cringy is understood. I can’t make myself read the entire three chapters from my first novel idea… And t…[Read more]

I hope that wasn’t confusing.

@lana-blanchard

By a strong church I mean one where God can move unhindered, the people are unified as the body of Christ, and the pastor preaches the Word and the congregation backs him.

We do actively worship if that’s what you mean. We dance before the LORD in praise, but nothing such as Jewish ring dancing or stuff like that.

My favorite…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Ah yes, Wentworth’s letter. That scene (besides Louisa’s fall) is probably one of my favorite in the book. And I usually don’t enjoy romance books…

@godlyfantasy12

I hoped they’d be good questions. 😉

That makes sense.  I like how it’s the talents/characteristics of animals. The way you explained it sounds like there’s a moral hidden in it…. now I’m even more curious. 🙂

Good literature is great for inspiration, and in all honesty, Artham inspired the super protective Mountain Guardian…[Read more]

@thelobsterlover

Hmm, well, those activity things didn’t worked for me, so I tagged you here. (Sharing images on here is troublesome for me too)

Ooo, I can’t wait to see it!

Here’s a link to my email;If this works.

@godlyfantasy12

Wow. That sounds like some story idea!

I can’t say that I’m very great at planning out/development, even though it is one of my favorite parts. But…

I love your idea for the protagonist. What is his knee-jerk reaction to learning about his capabilities? Does he realize he is rebellious? Why does he want to lead? Is he actually…[Read more]
