Interesting discussion @audrey-the-author .. I’ve also noticed this divide…
I think I side more with the camp which believes ‘said’ to be very much alive.
That’s not to say that I don’t appreciate a more descriptive dialogue tag at times and if the situation calls for it, but in general I prefer to stick with ‘said’ when I’m writing…[Read more]

@audrey-the-author I’m right there with ya. Though, I still feel guilty when I use it. I’m not sure why haha. However when reading I don’t mind it at all. I just read over it. I think that we, as writers, tend to think about it way too much. Ofcourse I wouldn’t put it after every sentence of dialogue, but it can still be a usefull word every now…[Read more]

I haven’t decided on a school yet, but I got accepted to two private Christian schools, and I am very excited to see which one God leads me to.
Yeah something I learned through NaNo is to take advantage of the two minutes here, five minutes there that might usually be used to scroll Pinterest. Jotting a few notes here and t…[Read more]

Thanks Audrey for the encouragement! Bullet points can be really useful too, and I think sometimes more attainable than an abstract goal. My school starts tomorrow too. I’m going to graduate from high school and into college this year. Is it hard to keep up with writing and a college work load? Are you majoring in writing, or d…[Read more]

My older sister participated in NCFCA (I know… Stoa hates them… sorry, for bringing them up xD 😉 ) but then my family just moved to an area where there’s a Stoa club, so we were going to join, but it’s too late. 😛
I have competed in other forensic things though and really enjoy it.…[Read more]

Hello there, fellow lover of the classics. Charles Dickens is undoubtedly my favourite out of the list you mentioned, with A Tale of Two Cities being my favourite of his novels.
I’m not really a fan of Jane Austen, but I’m currently reading Persuasion anyway.
And The Secret Garden is a masterpiece 😀
