@ethryndal @daeus @winter-rose @jenwriter17 @sam-kowal @jane-maree @audrey-caylin Hey guys! I revamped my blog, if you wanted to check out the new design. 🙂

(And Audrey, I also redid my blog button, if you could update that too. 😀 Thanks! )

@skredder Woah. That’s awesome!

@slylilhuntress Read Brandon Sanderson (crazy amazing fantasy author). Also, Cry The Beloved Country (not fantasy, but very deep and heartfelt. The best Christian novel I’ve ever read). Oh, and read Dreamlander too! It’s amazing.

@reaganramm

Another question.

I was wondering what your thoughts were on talking and sharing about your novel before it’s published? If you’re planning to get published within the next few years, should your novel facts and characters and everything else go incognito?

For example, if I were to talk about my novel on my blog, would that be…[Read more]

@slylilhuntress Well if you like dragons, you’ll like me. XD  I am one. Call me Snapper. 😀

What’s your favorite instrument?

Oh, drat. Kate just stole my secret fire. 🙁

@joy

Fantasy, more than any other genre, is about the past, so the most important thing to nail down is the past history of your story world. Allegorical aspects are good to nail down early too if you want to have them. If you’re going to have magic, nail that down early. Oh, and nail down a map of all the lands included in your story, so you…[Read more]

@slylilhuntress Ha! I’m reading The Green Ember Series right now too. Andrew Peterson’s great, though I have to sheepishly admit I haven’t read Dekker yet.

@slylilhuntress Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

Besides Lewis and Tolkien, what other writers inspire you?

*characters

@kaya-young A piece from your writing would be helpful. Also, I’ve found that when character’s aren’t coming across well, it’s because I don’t have a consistent mental image of them. The different mental images make them act like ten people mixed into one which ends up as chaos.

@ethryndal Looks like you’ve already gotten some great answers here! In my opinion, this is natural. When I started writing my current novel, I thought my primary theme was anger with a focusing question of “How should you deal with your anger?”, but during drafts and revisions, the primary theme ended up morphing into moral principles with a…[Read more]

@rochellaine I meant alternate universe, like, what might happen if a certain situation was different. Like, if instead of being homeschooled, I were public schooled, what would be different. Like that?

@seekjustice XD Parachute. That would be funny to see.

@jenwriter17 Aw, thank you! That story sounds sweet. 🙂

But I did manage to figure…[Read more]

@rochellaine *blinks* Alternate universe? XD

@rochellaine Hi!

Well, all right except for the fact that I don’t know how to get my MC unstuck… and to the place where he needs to be. I used to have an idea… and I forgot. XD

If you have any ideas, let me know!

@seekjustice Here’s a question:

How would you escape from a skyscraper that’s surrounded by people and you need to get on the other side of the people.

And the people kind of want to kill you. (Not you in particular. My character)

And the only thing you have a staff.

Do you have any ideas about how to get out of that? My MC’s a bit stuck…[Read more]

@seekjustice Why thankee! It’s actually my real name–kind of weird. I’ll probably change it back to Snapper at some point in time, but I did want to announce my real name. 😀

@seekjustice I too am editing and writing. 😀 I’ll see you whenever you get here.
