Oh… oops. XD I didn’t know this would start a whole discussion. But that’s okay! It’s really interesting to hear y’all’s opinions.

I wasn’t necessarily trying to say that publishers aren’t looking for a good book. I’m just saying that publishers can be really harsh with what they accept and what t…

@whalekeeper @esther-c @trailblazer

Okay…I think I’m just not good at saying what I mean. Let me try again, haha!

But Esther has a good point of view, that publishers are also looking for well-written material to a degree, because readers like good writing, and therefore good writing will sell. I’m not saying all readers have quality taste, but…

@trailblazer

One book that I found interesting is The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein. It’s sci-fi, but it is about a revolution on Luna against Terra, and the parallels are brilliant! I actually have a clearer picture of what it must have been like in some ways in the revolutionary war. Beware, Heinlein is not a Christian. T…[Read more]

I don’t know too much about that time frame, and I haven’t read any books in it that I can think of right now. Also, I have pretty much zero experience writing from male POVs, so I wouldn’t be much help there either, lol. But it does sound like a cool idea, and I would love to read it once you start it!

@trailblazer

Well, I’m not good at coming up with questions, but I noticed that most people seem to use the same ones all the time, so I figured I could do that.

@trailblazer

Yeah, sometimes it helps to have two POVs, and other times it’s not necessary. I’ve become so accustomed to it though, that when I start coming up with a story idea, my mind naturally creates two POV characters. XD

Glad I could help!!

@trailblazer

Ooo!! Cool idea!

I don’t have any plot ideas and such right now, but I’ll let you know if I think of any!

Aannddd… even though I write mostly male characters, I don’t really have any advice. 😅 I agree with what Esther said, though.

@trailblazer

Oooh, I like the idea!!

That said, if anyone has any interesting plot ideas or conflict suggestions, let me know! Or if there are any good book recommendations from that time period, I’d love to hear them.

I will say writing a book over the span of eight years could be a challenge, but I’m sure you could do it. 😉 A series isn…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Oh wow!!! This is a really cool idea!!

I’m not really sure how you want your story to go…but I would really recommend developing your characters before any plotting! Figure out their character arcs and internal conflicts. (Abbie Emmons on YouTube really helped me learn why internal conflicts matter! But if you do watch her…[Read more]

I don’t eat much sugar normally, now I have to eat sugary things. I also have to keep a candy in my pocket whenever I go somewhere now. My sugar levels are slowly going back to normal.

Apparently, it’s bothering me now because I was recently on Doxycicoline for Lyhmes, and that just messed up my body enough that I went downhill…[Read more]

@trailblazer

You’re fine.

Lower. I literally could barely walk yesterday it was so low, but today, I seem to be basically normal, besides semi low levels, a lack of balance, and dizzy spells.

@trailblazer

It’s type 1. I don’t eat much sugar, unlike my brothers, and even then apparently it’s not all getting into my system.

@Everyone

Thanks again for the prayers, it means a lot<333

Update: We talked to a doctor who said that I was definitely somewhat diabetic, so he upped the amount of a pill I was already taking and gave us some other instructions about what to avoid and what I need to do daily.  He’s…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Yeah, I’d say check it out. If you don’t like it you can always get rid of it. XD

@trailblazer

Oh cool!!

Yeah, learning a language is not easy. XD

@trailblazer

Yeah…I stayed up late last night and I woke up and I was so tired! I was super confused why my grandma was standing in my room and singing, “Happy New Year, Happy New Year from your Grandma next door!” My Grandma is super funny sometimes…haha.

But still yeah it was not the best way to start the new year XD but I’m just glad…[Read more]

@jonas @esther-c @highscribeofaetherium @walkbyfaith @trailblazer

Thanks for everything guys! <3

I woke up this morning to my grandma waking me up and telling me that my dad took Mom to the ER this morning, and that me and my siblings had to go over to her house until they got back. So it was really sad for me and it was hard, but my friends…[Read more]

Does anyone on here have Kindle Unlimited? If so, do you have any good, clean book recs that are on there?

So nice to meet y’all!

@trailblazer

What is one thing God did in your life this past year? Hmm… God did a lot of things in my life this year, including one really big thing I prefer not to talk about, but one thing He did this year that I’m really grateful for was He got me safely through my first semester of university. 🙂

What is one thing…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Ooof yeah that’s hard. My mom and my siblings’ is all touch (which makes it so hard for me to know how to help my mom rn because it hurts her to be touched right now)  and I am definitely not a person who loves to be touched  (though I do love hugs once in a while!!!) I think mine is acts of service? I just like it when people do s…[Read more]
