I totally understand that 🙂 Thanks for wanting to though!

Thanks – I’ll keep that in mind if I do get a second round of readers. I don’t think I will, but I’ll be sure to tag you if I do!

Aw thanks 🙂 I appreciate that! If it was like a week past the end of Feb, I’d be fine with that, btw. Totally fine if that doesn’t work for you though. And I completely understand the business of moving house; my family has moved house at least five different times 😅.

I’ve already got several people who are going to beta…[Read more]

You’re welcome! Thank you! I posted the link to the book in the same post btw, if you just want to request access from that 🙂

That would be great – thank you, but only if he wants to 🙂

Thanks very much for all that information! It’s definitely very helpful 🙂

Here is the link to my book – https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n8A0wqjSuUfcC4cVfN5FT4rOPcQBZ_gm7jQhWPlpyFI/edit?usp=sharing

Once you request access, I’ll allow it 🙂

Thanks again!

Hey!

Cool! That’s totally fine – I’m looking for a mix of…[Read more]

Thank you! So, does that mean you would like to read my book?

Ah…that’s interesting. So, in WW2, did the Axis forces ever use gas to blind the soldiers in the trenches?

In some war films that I’ve watched, it shows gas being released into the trenches, and the soldiers having to put gas masks on. If they didn’t wear the masks,…[Read more]

I know I haven’t been as active on here recently, but anyway….I’m looking for beta readers for my first WW2 novella!

The Nurse Beta Call!
Calling all WW2 and/or historical fiction fans…

I present to you…The Nurse… a story of love and faith during WW2.

I love writing historical fiction (it’s my main genre) but I’m definitely not an expert at it. These are purely some of my thoughts 😉

I think including all the facts would be overwhelming for readers, but if you can choose just a few which allow you to write about a historical event but…[Read more]

I would definitely agree with the others about listening to music – I think it can help if you listen to something that is similar to what you’re trying to write (like emotional music that makes you feel emotional if you’re trying to write a sad scene or intense music for that scene that’s just filled with thrilling action) For…[Read more]

This is the first line of my novella:

“Nearly there,” the soldier whispered as he and another man ran through the mud, carrying the stretcher that held his best friend’s broken body.

Story Embers is good for getting beta readers too, though! I had a few people from on here beta read my short story a while ago. One of the girls in particular was really great at it; her feedback was super helpful!

That’s cool! Is your story a novel?

I’m in the editing stage for my novella at the moment. Hopefully soonish I might start recruiting some beta readers!

Thanks for the tag 🙂

It’s nice “seeing” you again xD

How’s your writing going?

Lol…I like your sense of humor xD

I would never have guessed that you were sarcastic 😉 I’d say it’s my second language – I come from a very sarcastic family!

Nice…I’m probably similar, except I think I listen to soundtracks a bit more. Having no internet sounds like fun (not). That must be annoying.

Anyways, sorry f…[Read more]

Hello, Lady Anne 😉  (I love your username btw)

For some strange reason, I think you like books 😉

I’m glad to see that you’re a fellow coffee lover too xD

Just curious, are you sarcastic by any chance?

Your WIP sounds really good btw.

Do you like listening to soundtracks or songs more?

Anyways, I look forward to…[Read more]

You’re welcome 🙂

Lol…it can be annoying sometimes but also nice having straight hair (even if it likes to do things its own way 😉 )

Just wanted to let you both know that YWWs is hosting their second Crazy Writing Week event. It’s free and allows you to experience what YWW is like (well, at least experience a lot of it 😉 ). I so enjoyed it last time. Here is the link to it just if you’re interested – https://crazywritingweek.com/.

If you do happen…[Read more]

Good thanks! I’m glad it helped show the point *phew* xD

That’s all good. I totally understand 😊. Lol…thanks for the super early Happy Birthday 😉

Yes, you should! Are you homeschooled or do you go to school?
If you do end up joining YWWs, my name is Abby Baines on there (I kinda wished I’d kept it the same as on here)…[Read more]

Hey again!

Yes, I do go by Abby (I have several names/nicknames 😉 )

What’s your name? (Totally fine if you don’t want to answer 🙂 )

You’re welcome 🙂

Cool! That’s funny about your MC too xD

Aw sweet (sounds like fun for your brothers). What is NaNo like? I think I’ve heard of it before but have never participated.

That’s…[Read more]

Wow…that was great advice. (You did a way better job than me)

@arindown

What Lily said 😉

Hey again 🙂

Really? Well, it’s fun when your story takes over 😉  Oh cool, have you ever sold stories to children’s magazines before?

Oh phew, glad it wasn’t 😉

Aw thanks – well they have ideas for stories they would like people to write about, but I’m doing my own chosen topics at the moment which they’re fine…[Read more]

Hey!

Oh cool…what’s your YA book about? (If you mind me asking 🙂 )

So, do you mean you’ve already started writing them? If so, how long are they so far?

Well, my advice would be to:

1. Choose a genre that you want to write in mainly (I’ve chosen to write historical-fiction at the moment for my novella series I’m hoping to…[Read more]

Aw thanks 🙂

I use YWW (Young Writer’s Workshop). Are you part of it?

Ooh cool!

Yes, definitely…they did a really good job.

Aw thank you! The genre for my novella is historical-fiction (with a little clean romance in there too 😉 ).

This is the synopsis or premise:

World War II is sweeping across Europe, stealing the…[Read more]

Hey Lily,

Nice to “meet” you 😉

I love your name btw; it’s very pretty!

That’s all good…I’ve been mainly using another writing website recently so haven’t really done much on here.

Ooh cool genre! What is your WIP about, if you don’t mind me asking?

I loved the film for The Giver. Have you seen it? That genre is really…[Read more]

@toklaham-veruzia Wow…that’s a lot!!!

And everyone else 😉

@Dakota

Wow that’s a lot of words!

I prefer WWII, too. I really like some of the outfits during that time xD And there’s so much to learn about it as well.

Aw thanks – it is pretty cool living in NZ – lots of gorgeous places 😊

Oh nice! Yes, please do tag me in for your stories.

Hey and welcome to SE!

I know I’m kinda a latecomer in saying hello, but anyways – nice to “meet” you 😉

I love your profile pic – it’s so pretty xD

I noticed that you like the WWII era. That and WWI are literally my favourite eras. I love reading about history and writing stories during those two time periods. There’s so much to…[Read more]

@theswordinthebook

Wow…that is a lot of words.

Wow…that was a really good explanation xD

Thanks for tagging me xD

It did look really cool, but I live in NZ so kinda different time zone lol.

Plus, I’d done a fair bit of writing the day before 😉

Your story snippets look really cool btw.

That’s fine 🙂

Yes, definitely – I would agree that teens can handle, to an extent, graphic things, but there would be types of graphic that would be considered older and for adults.

Hope your writing goes well xD

I think it works fine 🙂 It’s cool xD

The only thing I would say is that you might want to keep him grumpy for a little bit longer, so he doesn’t become ‘nice’ too quickly 😉

That’s just a suggestion tho xD

I think the themes and messages in the book would have a lot to do with whether or not you would classify it as a teens’ or adults’ novel. I’m a teenager, and there’s plenty of books that I have read/looked at that have characters that are adults, but I wouldn’t classify them as “adults” books. I think it would really depend on whether…[Read more]

Lol…sorry Gremlin 😉

Oh, that would be hard xD Hacking sounds really cool, tho 😉

That’s good. Ooh…piano…nice 🙂

Perfect, thanks 🙂

Oh sorry xD

It should notify you, hopefully lol
