@kathleenramm They can be. Thank you! Yeah, I feel the same way. The ending would be a complete FLOP if that didn’t happen. But with that ending, it’s so much more heartbreaking… I think I might actually cry while writing that one XD

EXACTLY. It’s so true. This is the reason why I HATE the deux ex machina trope!!!!!! The author is like “okay,…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting haha, I see. Well, I haven’t read many classics, but I enjoy the ones I have been reading.

@Calidris no, haven’t heard of it. My curriculum was Mennonite (CLE) I was homeschooled, and the stories bored me to tears at times, literally. Why do I need to read a story about Johnny jumping over cracks in the sidewalk for a nickel…[Read more]

@keilah-h That is a wonderful thing you’re doing, good job and keep it up!

I have preeetty severe ADHD and ADD, which I know isn’t the same, but people have treated me like I’m weird because of it and I admit that because of it, I have anger issues with people who are not kind to others.

If you ever read my books you’d find a theme throughout of…[Read more]

@daisy-torres haha that is a problem I am pretty sure I’ll have. I only have about a dozen of people seriously interested in my work, and they insist they will buy copies as soon as possible. That is why I want to publish my series, tbh, so I don’t disappoint them. XD (just kidding, I do want to)

ooo your books sound sick! And the siblings sound…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl you’re welcome!

People said that I should use tree sap instead of tar and feathers.

Even though it was a fictional comedy, and I was like 8.

I’m still salty.

Yeah, I’m terribly late to this . . . .

This is a really great topic and I love everyone’s advice!!! I needed some tips for making fantasy maps, so I’ll totally be checking out that website and book!!!

And those were very helpful tips @elfwing !!!! 🙂

@sparrowhawke

This poem makes me think of a particular person in my life. Our relationship has been really complicated and recently some terrible things have happened causing me to only be able to have shallow conversations with them despite me knowing them my entire life. I have so many things I desperately want to ask them and tell them, but…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms

Yeah, heavy themes can be really hard to write well.

But I do really like the ending of your story with the hero scarifying himself at the end. It makes the theme hit so much harder. I barely know anything about your story, but I can see how the theme and character arc might feel half-hearted without him sacrificing himself…[Read more]

@sparrowhawke

Favorite time period? Hmmm… Probably the ancient time period. I definitely would never want to live in that time, but there are so many cool things to learn (and steal for writing purposes) from.

What’s something from history that’s given you a memorable story idea?

Well, I guess I usually come off as pretty quite, introverted,…[Read more]

@elfwing

That’s really interesting! I don’t think I’ve ever experienced that.

I’m not sure if you want any tips on ways to maybe help you be more critical of writing, but here’s some thoughts I had that might help.

Sometimes when I’m reading a book and want to use it as a way to improve my own writing, I keep a notebook with me as I read. On…[Read more]

@keilah-h That truly is amazing! I love it when Christian writers are able to write from their own experiences to help others with theirs. I wish you the best with your book!! Maybe one of these days I’ll get it for my future kids, if I ever have any XD

@sparrowhawke Haha, yup. And knowing me, I’ll probably end up with ANOTHER trilogy in the mix at some point.

Thanks! I write mostly about faeries and humans, since those are the main two races in the book. But within the category of “faeries” there are elves, gnomes, dwarves, sprites, pixies, naiads, dryads, half-blood/hybrid faeries that are a…[Read more]

@calidris I don’t think so. Was it bad or good?

@calidris Is tangerine a book? I’ve never heard of it.

@elfwing I mean, I used to read bad books too lol. And then I started writing, and I didn’t read anything but manga and classics, so when I finally went around to reading other stuff again, I was more like, “what is this thing I’m reading.” I guess writing has trained me to look for mistakes more, and also one of my sister’s hobbies is roasting…[Read more]

@elfwing Hahaha XD I’m sure you will!! Just stick with it! I made the mistake of publishing too soon and not building up an awaiting audience first ::::)

I do! I published Era of Shadows on amazon a couple years ago. It’s a medieval Fantasy retelling of Alice in Wonderland, based on the Red Queen’s perspective.

Recently (July) I published The…[Read more]

@keilah-h Awww I love that idea!! I love things that remember kids with special needs. That sounds wonderful!

@daisy-torres I wish I did. I hope to in the next decade soon XD

do you?

@scripter-of-kingdoms @devastate-lasting ok lol

I wonder if it’s from reading too many of the language arts stories that totally sucked and lacked any good characters and plots and so I improvised all through my school years because I was bored out of my gourd XD idk if anyone else has/had the problem of LA and English assigned stories like that…[Read more]
