So … how does this work? Do we just insert things from our characters’ POVs from our own stories? Sorry, I haven’t been on KP in a while, so I’m late to the party.

Hey! I love Harry Potter too! Nice to meet you! Around here, I’m known as Tráhia the Minstrel. I write clean YA Fantasy and am currently writing a no-magic medieval-esque story about two princes from different families who are enemies.

Have you ever read Brandon Sanderson’s books? I’m just curious.

Or Keeper of the…[Read more]

I’d either choose The Mysterious Benedict Society (cause both its major plot twists were spoiled for me before I read it😢) or the Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers. Because. The. End. Of. The. Second. Book. Was. So. GOOD.

Honestly, reading that for the first time was epic.

It’s funny. The books I go into with low exp…[Read more]

Things unchristian directors could do with my book … oh help.

They’d probably try to make out this beautiful, really close, boy-boy brother-like friendship I have into something else … if you know what I mean. And they’d probably cause conflict between that and another friendship/frenemyship one of the boys has with another main boy cha…[Read more]

Thank you so much for your advice! I found it really encouraging.

@avacoulter

Thank you! I am so sorry I haven’t posted anything for like, 6 weeks … I’ve been in a real slump and kinda discouraged with everything about websites and my writing in general. It’s a but of hard spell for me … I’m at one of those places where I’m wonderi…[Read more]

That was Wrecker and Hunter from The Bad Batch, right? I love those two!

Its not letting me edit my posts for some reason …😶

As you may remember, I recently started my blog. Many of you have subscribed, and I’m so grateful for that!

However, I’m struggling a little bit right now trying to learn how it all works. I’m quite new to the blogosphere, so I don’t quite understand some things, or I’d like advice on how to do them better. For example:…[Read more]

Um … yeah, that would probably be quite a lot of mental trauma. Enough to give him a pretty severe fear of fire, dogs, and soldiers. Children are very impressionable, and having a memory of those things in a tragedy like that would give him a negative association with all of the above.

I speak from half-experience — I don…[Read more]

I love Phineas and Ferb! And that song with him and Isabella … “What might have been …”

YouTube:

The Wingfeather teaser trailer is out!

The Wingfeather Saga just dropped their teaser trailer!

I’ve seen the cover of it, and it looks really intriguing! It’s on my to buy and read list😊.

If you like that kind of romantic friends lovers with awkward shy cute boy and oblivious girl thing, you’d probably like Avatar: The Last Airbender. Have you seen it? It’s a really amazing story and kids show — the only downside being all…[Read more]

Mr Brocklehurst …😮‍💨 Yup. Hated him

How many sibling duos have I written? Oh boy, here we go …

*rubs hands together while chuckling*

So, I have a pair of fraternal twins in my current WIP, a girl and boy. (The boy is one of my main POVs.) Then I also have a pair of side characters who are brothers — I think they’re some of my favourite to write. Then my other main…[Read more]

Ooo! I love that too! In fact, I have such a duo in my book series … and they’re also estranged brothers. They’re like the two most boss warriors in the land!

You guys like Super Smash Bros too? And Zelda Breath of the Wild?

Yay! I love both those games!

A bunch of different anime too. I recently binged K-On.

I once said something innocently that sounded like something completely else. I probably shouldn’t tell the whole story, but basically I was 13, all my adult siblings were in the room, and I said something that was meant to be encouraging but all of them took it in a more … *ahem* kind of way.

One of my older brothers laughed so har…[Read more]

Hi! I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Tráhia the Minstrel, here on the forum.

Yeah, I think those are some of the reasons I like writing bromances too.

Nice to meet you!

I love sibling relationships — I’m particularly fond of brother-brother relationships. Which is kinda funny, seeing as how I’m a girl.😂 I did have to two brothers, though, so it’s not like I have no experience in seeing this relationship play out. I also know a lot of brother-brother pairs in my friend group.

But yeah, I really…[Read more]

I love your profile pic. Perry is one of my faves.❤️

It sounds like you’re writing epic fantasy — correct if I’m wrong — but if so having a larger cast isn’t bad. Read Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series if you want to see a huge cast handled magnificently.

However, I would probably recommend that you keep the number of main protagonists to 3 or at the max 5 — just remember that…[Read more]

I’ve read Jane Eyre, I own both the actual book and the manga classic edition. I enjoy the story lots! Jane is a great character, and her relationship with Mr. Rochester is so sweet … and I loved the part at the start with her and Helen, as well. Made me quite sad/touched when I first read it.

St. John kinda annoys me, tho…[Read more]

This literally happened to me a few minutes ago.

I was being silly, and holding my Mum’s morning tea muffin aloft on a plate like Rafiki holds up Simba, while chanting The Circle of Life. I caught Mum’s attention as I held said plate aloft with two hands, and she gave me look like — as said by Adrian Plass — I’d announced a pig was d…[Read more]

I love your blog! I’m enjoying reading your posts.😊

Thank you! I hope you like it!😊

Thank you!

@karissa-chmil

Thanks! Yes, I’ve had some people (most people) tell me my names are impossible to pronounce. I think I need to include a pronunciation guide at the start of the book. XD.

I’m sorry to hear about the tragedy. I pray that God gives you healing in this troubled time.

I’ve recently started rewriting my second book. Here’s an excerpt from what I’ve just wrote today:

Salvárdé stood next to Tarûkon as Mérar haggled with the stable owner over the price of such a long-term board. The dark-skin…[Read more]

I love your blog! Had so much fun! Just read every single one of your posts.

What if Rumplestiltskin wasn’t an old man? What if he was a younger man? What if it was a woman named Rumplestiltskin? What if he asked for a firstborn daughter instead of a son?

Just throwing ideas, please feel free to ignore all of them. I just find what if questions fun.😊

This is fun! And I’ve really enjoyed everyone else’s answers. @abigail-m , I can totally relate to Fitz Vacker thing! I love that book series, but Fitz made me so mad in the later few books. I’m definitely in teem Foster-Keefe, or Keephie, depends what we’re calling it.

Onto the questions and my answers!

Q: Is there a charact…[Read more]

In my most recent story idea, I still don’t have a plot.😅 But I do have a bunch of really cool characters, and an awesome world. So yeah. Just need a plot now.

I think in most my stories the characters come first for me … because the way I write, often the characters are the plot. Or, more accurately, while there may be ext…[Read more]

Sorry, misspelled your name the first time.

@jenwriter17 and @annabelle

Thanks for your advice!

I have made the decision and joined Author Conservatory. My start date is in June.😊

Thank you! I’m glad you like it! Sorry I haven’t managed to get out a new post this week, it’s been a bit of a really busy week for me, with all kinds of things — mostly the biggest thing being that I made a huge life decision and decided to join the Author Conservatory. My start date is in June.😊

That’s cool! Yeah, I’ve liked the style for a long time cause my older brothers are really into it, and one of them got me into it. I don’t watch all anime, though, cause a lot of them are quite dark and/or haves weird/adult content.

I just updated my site so that the first snippet of my op is there. It’s not perfect, I still need to do some tweaks, but I still get a thrill out of seeing it there.😁

Yup😂 I’m trying to make an anime op for my book.😁 I got this urge to work on it again yesterday, after giving up for about a year or two. I might post clips of it on my website as I make it. We’ll see how I go.

@morgan

Thank you!

Thank you! And thanks for commenting, it means a lot to me!❤️😊

@autumn-rebecca

Thank you! And no, I still haven’t completed my privacy policy … I kinda got side-tracked today by doing some art for an animated clip for my book …😅

@lydia-s

Thank you!

Ah, that’s good! I’m glad to hear it was easy to navigate. That has happened to me a few times before on websites as well …

Thanks for the info!

@sparrowhawke

Thanks for the advice! I have researched and read each article on the blog tour now, I found the links on their Instagram account. Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts in doing an online course for 3 whole years, when it means missing out on an in-person community? I come from a small town, and…[Read more]

Thank you! I’m so glad you like it!

@karissa-chmil

Thank you! Btw, I’ve been reading posts on the Author Conservatory blog tour, and saw that someone named Karissa had commented. Was that you?😊

Thank you! And thanks for commenting, it means a lot!

I hope you’ll enjoy the content on it! If any of you want…[Read more]

Eeeeeek! I love Mark of the Lion! It’s one of my favourite book series of all time, now, because of the ending of book 2. That ending … Ah.

I went around for 3 hours after with heartburn ranting about how amazing that ending was to anyone who’d listen.

But yes, I did notice the head-hopping myself, and found it really jarri…[Read more]

Just say the name ‘Bonnifer Squoon’ and I start getting real mad.

He just makes me angry cause it was all his fault everything happened. If it weren’t for him and all the horrible lies he told Gnag and his parents, the whole war wouldn’t have happened. @elishavet-pidyon thanks for reminding me how much I dislike him! I’d actually…[Read more]

Thanks Ava! That means a lot!

How do you sign up to or even find information about the Young Writers Workshop? Nothing on their website is working for me, except the ‘join author conservatory’ page. I wondered if new people aren’t allowed to join right now?

Well, if I do join, I hope to see you there!😃 Don’t ask Brett or anyone anything yet, though — I’m working through my own concepts right now and trying to refine them😊.
