The premise mostly revolves around the statements “giving up isn’t an option” and “that which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” (My poor characters). The plot is still uncertain, but that’s partly because even though I put my characters through a lot, I like them and I think they would be great in multiple stories. But I am deter…[Read more]

NP! I love research:) Sometimes it takes awhile, but it’s still fun. I may actually get a mini essay together about searching on Google, since there are a few tricks to getting to the right resources.

I really only have one major writing goal (even if that’s the only thing I achieve with writing, then I’ll be happy), and that’s finishing my novel. I’ve been writing on this novel for a looooooong time, so if I can have it completely finished/edited/ready to be sent to a publisher by this time next year, I’d be over the moon ^-^…[Read more]

My writing goal this year is to finish my WIP, The Snow Warrior.
To publish a short story.
And of course make another 50k in the next NaNoWriMo.

I don’t think any of my characters would (they are all extremely stubborn. Sigh).

Hey, that’s not complicated at all. I should have the answers by tonight. In fact researching these things sounds like a fun challenge.

“Read your work aloud! This is the best advice I can give. When you read aloud you can find out how much can be cut, how much is unnecessary. You hear how the story flows. And nothing teaches you as much about writing dialogue as listening to it.” – Judy Blume.

Well, mostly things like “Is there an official title for a king’s advisor?” or “Where does the king hold official meetings?” or even things like “How young can a king be to rule without a regent?” My villain is still young (sort of—he’s around 17ish), since he was forced to take the throne after his parents were killed. I didn’t…[Read more]

Probably Fox, from my short story, she has a great voice, (but would most likely pass up the opportunity, to be a national trick rider).
Who is most likely to catch a star inside a jar? (which is technically impossible, but still:)

My MC is most likely to survive an apocalypse.
Lila is most likely to shout “echo!”

What is it specifically that your having trouble finding on Google? Not trying to be nosy, but researching things is kinda one of my pastimes, so maybe I can help?

This is such a great idea and I LOVE what everyone’s written:)
This is actually an Excerpt In Need Of Revision from one of my projects, but it seemed like a good thing to add to this world building.

Behind me was the village of SilverKey, beyond that was fields, rolling flowered hills, woods and then the towering mountains.
