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

@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]

@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]

@elfwing Oh, for me, I’m the opposite. Problems always stick out to me, but usually I stay quiet about them because I feel like they aren’t something that the writer can change easily (like style, the overall plot, etc.) If it’s typos I will though.

@calidris ok sounds good lol

@calidris sounds good! what i mean by plotting is that i need help with whether scenes are too vague and if im getting what i mean to write across

but yeah when you have the time, knock yourself out lol

@calidris sounds good and thanks for the answer.

sounds good, i dont have a timeline for the beta reading. this is for my novel, which is about 110 pages

here is the email, roseoakauthor at gmail dot com

@calidris haha no it wasn’t the question really, but I will accept it if you want to. I was just wondering if I’m the only person who fills in the holes/problems in books to such an extent I don’t see the problems XD

@joy-caroline @calidris @will_starke

@madelyn sorry if you get like five emails of my response, the forum ate it again

@kathleenramm The toughest criticism of anything I had, would be my mom on a story I wrote. it was very ridiculous, even for a 12-year-old’s writing and she told me as much and that I could definitely improve it. She said it lovingly, but at that point, it didn’t matter how she said it, it stung my childish pride. XD It was for my schoolwork and…[Read more]

OK. Let me tRy thIS AGaiN(I keep making same mistake and deleting my message, this is attempt number 3…4…?)

@ribbonash

Lol, that’s fine. I only started liking Percy Jackson around the third or fifth book. I think I really enjoyed it because it was me, a little sheltered homeschooler, reading a book I chose to for myself.

@kathleenramm

So I…[Read more]

@madelyn I enjoy it when I’m not crying, heh. Which I think can be said about anything.

@kathleenramm Yess they are extremely, extremely good.

@libby Ah, recently I’ve started to appreciate sci-fi more as well! Kinda want to start writing a sci-fi story in the future…any tips?

@jodi-maile

Percy Jackson was actually the book that got me into reading!

And I’m with you on the History subject. For me I think it really depends on the history book and whether or not they focus more on the people or on dates and basic events. When I started reading history that focused more on the actual people and their lives I started…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

I’ll definitely will be checking those out!

@ribbonash

That’s so interesting! 1st person POV has always been my favorite and still is, haha. What books changed your mind on first person POV?

@anatra23

Yeah, I had the exact same experience with books I had to read that were part of a school curriculum. Still to this day they…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

That’s pretty rough. But a good idea for honest critique…

So, my friend read a short story of mine once. You must understand, this friend was very nice and polite. But after reading my story she kinda cringed, looked at me, and said she’d get the edit back to me later. Yea, so a couple weeks later she hands me my book and it’s…[Read more]

@sparrowhawke

*reads*

*brain hurts*

*reads again*

Oooh, I like it. It makes me think and struggle to say what I think about my thoughts. Confusion is common in my mind.

I don’t have much critique on this subject. But, this makes me think you’d enjoy one of my favorite quotes tho.

“Oh, it’s a case of, they’ll think I’ll think that they’ll do…[Read more]
