@mineralizedwritings Thank you! Yeah, it’s a pretty intense creative writing class at my school, so I’m a little nervous (because of time management), but I’m also really excited to get started.

@mineralizedwritings I finished my last main work around December, so I’ve started another WIP, which I’m also going to be writing for a creative writing class I’m having this semester, so hopefully I’ll finish it before summer hits!

@gracie-j 👉👈Can-can I request a mock cover – from yours truly? You know which novel I want one for…right?

@sarafini I signed up, but idk how much time I’ll have since that’s when my semester starts, but I’ll try! What are you going to work on?

@keilah-h They never really do explain the science, do they? I would definitely have appreciated more of an explanation—no wonder poor Sophie is so confused by it all! Plus, the whole “unmapped stars” business…doesn’t seem very scientifically accurate, no?

@whalekeeper I read through the series in, like, two weeks? Over a year ago? So my memory is a little fuzzy 😛

Overall, I would give series was a solid B+. Like, there were things that irked me (for instance, some of the humor felt…off. Like, Sophie’s supposed to be saving the world and struggling through all these things, and the next page is…[Read more]

@keilah-h I think it’s super awesome that you write fanfiction!! The world definitely could use more quality fan works in it—they’re so much fun, and I admire the people who can write them (like you!) I also think that’s super neat that you’re writing from your own experience/frustrations. I don’t have autism, but I have a brother who does, and f…[Read more]

@arien Whoa, sounds like you have a lot of book-loving people in your family!!! I can only imagine the family reunions… *jealous sigh*

Heh, I think I talked about that story in a different thread—basically it’s about a girl who suddenly inherits a kingdom (and a MASSIVE debt from the previous rulers), and has to go on a quest to plunder a drago…[Read more]

@sarafini Oooh that sounds fun!! I’ve heard my brother mention it but I’ve never been super clear on how it works. Do you need to sign up for anything, or could one do it through Kingdom Pen?

@booksandbeakers Hello Caitlyn!! Welcome to the forum! I’m Elizabeth,  infrequent forum poster and Resident Old Person; it’s lovely to meet you. *offers cookies* That’s so cool you’ve been published!! And yesss, science is so cool!! What aspect do you like best? (My brain wanted to ask “what genre of science do you like?” but I don’t think…[Read more]

@arien I feel like I have a similar backstory to you (also yay, Boxcar Children!! I love that series)—can’t remember exactly when/why I started to write. I read a ton as a kid, and played pretend with my brothers almost as much, so it just seemed a natural progressions of things. And no need to be ashamed of a cowgirl + horse phase! I def…[Read more]

@koshka Aahhh I see!! That makes a lot of sense—thank you for explanation!

@sarafini Very nice, very nice! Though, wow—8 siblings? I would be so overwhelmed.
Definitely let us fellow Keepers know when your anthology comes out!!! I’d love to read your story 😀

@whalekeeper *joins your moment of silence* *resists urge to hum My Heart Will Go On* Lol, that’s such a mood 😂 Hopefully the fondness is winning out?? It does sound like a pretty epic story, ngl—especially if you have that nostalgia for it.

Heh, yes and no. I worked on it pretty much exclusively for like, seven years?? (Wow, that…made me feel…[Read more]

@whalekeeper I don’t really have any suggestions (naming characters is SO HARD oh my) but I just wanted to say that your character sounds so cool!! Phoenix powers sound so unique and generally just awesome. Also, props to you for revamping an old story!! *fistbump of solidarity as I recall the story that I started as a wee 13-year-old and has be…[Read more]

@sarafini Oooh I like this!! Especially the last line—really gives you a nice glimpse of the stakes. Also that’s super nice of you to write a short story for your parents for Christmas!!

A couple questions (because I’m curious and decided I’m just going to go ahead and be nosy about your story :P)

1. Does Jessica have a mom in the picture…[Read more]

@starofthenorth I blazed through the first 8 books in like a two-week span of time over a year ago, so pardon me if my memory is a little fuzzy 😛

I can definitely see why you would find the books too intense! I was rereading some of book eight yesterday actually, and was like… wow everything escalated very quickly. It’s definitely more in the…[Read more]
