Oh… @daeus-lamb I should probably tag you…
Sorry if this seems like an unnecessary question… It’s just been bothering me a lot recently.

Hey Guys. It’s been so long since I was on here last and I’ve missed you guys. Dunno if anyone remembers me but hi!!! *realizes she’s already rambled*
Okay, my goal is to keep this short and sweet. Idk if anyone here has read The Penderwicks or the rest of the series but they’re really good. Especially for kids…
So maybe it’s just that I’ve…[Read more]

That was really good! I enjoyed it a lot, and I say that you have a knack for writing poetry. The fact that it was based on something on LotR helped too. 🙂

Thank you, Kylie! That means a lot! I actually got it published on Kingdom Pen last month: https://kingdompen.org/the-party-tree-a-poem/

Hello, historical fiction community. I’m Tudor, I live in Germany, and I’ve always had a passion for history, especially American history (Revolutionary War, California Gold Rush, Civil War, Wild West, Indian Wars, you name it). The old KJV language has been a major influence on my writing style (reading the Bible in English has been a great way…[Read more]

Cassandra Blenkin started the topic Hello there! in the forum Contemporary Fiction Writers 5 years, 1 month ago
Greetings everyone!
I’m endeavoring to rewrite my spy novel into something bearable. You know during the early 2000’s when everyone was writing spy novels? My 14 year old self was right there with them! However, the story and the characters are very near and dear to my heart, so I figure I owe them a second chance. I feel like interacting with…[Read more]

Yay, I’m so glad my suggestion helped! 🙂 And yes, I would definitely want to keep reading! (I’ve read a lot of books from that time period too, so I can totally relate with it becoming your style 😉 ) I saw that you mentioned The Hidden Hand in your introduction thread. It’s one of my favorites too! Your book so far reminds me a lot of…[Read more]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I do read a lot of books written in the 1800s and early 1900s, and that’s kind of become my style. 🙂 I don’t know if it’s annoying to most modern day readers, but I was hoping since the book was set in that historical era, that people’d be okay with it.

@claire-h WOW, thanks so much! This was super helpful.
I think one of my problems was that the Frys where so entertaining that I didn’t want to make light of the guy being shot and missing, and I overcompensated on the melodrama, whoops. I toned them both down a little now. I do want the story to be somewhat realistic, although I do have a fairly…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing your work! I know it takes a lot of courage sometimes. 🙂 I really enjoyed this snippet! Great job with the characters …and the mysterious happenings. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Fry are so entertaining. XD So here are the few thoughts I had:
First off, this story reads like it was written in the 1800s. Have you read a lot…[Read more]

Hey y’all!
I’m brand new here but I’ve been writing for quite a few years now… never finished any WIPs, but this time I’m bound and determined to. However, I was wondering if any of you would be interested in reading my “introduction” and first chapter. I honestly am not sure if I like it or if it is intriguing enough for readers to want to…[Read more]
