Welcome back! It’s awesome to have you back!

I don’t know about you, but there is always this fresh sense of excitement when I get back into writing after a break.

Is there anything in particular you are excited about with getting back into writing?

@e-k-seaver

Yeah, sometimes the site flags stuff for no reason, but I checked it out and was able to approve your posts! If it’s still not showing up for you, just let me know.

@e-k-seaver Maybe the links the forum is finding sus? I’d try to post the links in a post below it.

@kathleenramm I feel like I usually plan for characters to be a little more reserved but they end up being more extraverted to keep the story moving along and the scene interesting, haha. I always need a bit more dialogue.

@godlyfantasy12

This sounds cool!

Okay so the three things I really liked about this are #1 the whole circus/murder mystery #2 the fact we’ll be getting into the past of a circus #3 they have high stakes at risk.

The three questions I have would be #1 why are Ara and November, in particular, being targeted #2 what are they doing in the circus…[Read more]

1st of all, your Forum Topic Into was almost as fun to read as the chapters… I guess that explains why I haven’t heard from Shakespeare lately.

2nd of all.

I’m sorry.

Eh, not for the late replay as much as I am for not reading this sooner. Don’t get me wrong, as much as I’d love to bash a video game-themed…[Read more]

Woah. I thought I had written a lot of sibling relationships, but I can honestly say you’ve beaten me.

And yeah, two friends so close they could be brothers pretty much counts as brothers in my eyes.

Since you have written many brother relationships, have you written any sister relationships in your stories? And if you…[Read more]

@power

This is amazing. I love how you painted such a strong image in just a few lines.

How long have you been writing poetry for? Also, have any tips for a beginner? You know, asking for a friend lol.

@godlyfantasy12

Well, one option would be that his goal is to confess to his crush or find a way for his crush to confess to him. Depending on what kind of guy he is.

Another option would be that his goal is to get away from his father. Whether that be earning enough money to buy a place away from his home, or to run away.

He could have both…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Heya, girl!!! Okay, so I first wanna say I TOTALLY get where you’re coming from!!! When I first started my blog (teenwritersnook.com) I had literally NO ONE read any of my posts for like three-plus months but now (after a year and a half of blogging) my site gets a pretty steady following with 400 visitors a month and…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

A lot of those are on my tbr list. Now that I see you also recommend then I am even more looking forward to reading them!

@madelyn

That’s really interesting! I never thought there was a ‘first’ best selling book, but now thinking about it, of course there had to be one lol.

That’s really cool! Makes me even more interested in…[Read more]

@lydia-s Nice, nice! I’m quite in love with Steinbeck and Dostoyvesky, throw in some Ray Bradbury and Dickens here and there, and there are so many more titles I’ve been meaning to read. Your literature program sounds fun! I’ve been meaning to take one at some point, haha.

@r-m-archer

Yeah, Classic lit. feels so much more grounded. It also feels a bit more comfy and homey to read. I do really like fast paced books, but slow paced books like classics are so relaxing.

Do you have any favorite classics?

@devastate-lasting
I haven’t dared venture back before the 1600’s ever since I read a bunch a books around that…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Usually I write a beginning, and then I start working on an outline/plot/characters, and usually after I have the outline for all the chapters done, or most of them, enough to keep me busy for a while, I just starting writing each chapter one by one.

@kathleenramm These days I can consume nothing but classic lit. I think when I was younger I found it boring but now I find modern lit lacking in depth and character and theme. Still, I prefer literature from the 1800’s and 1900’s, and maybe occasionally the 1700’s. Anything earlier I find, well, hard to read.

@trahia-the-minstrel

AAAAAH THAT LOOKS AWESOMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have just SO GOT to read this series even more now! Like enough putting it off, I need to get a copy of these books!

@lydia-s Any other books you’ve read lately? Or any other classic lit you enjoy?
