@taylorclogston Thank you for your observations! They are super helpful and thought provoking. Especially the point you made about Arrowood. I’ve been having trouble developing him, mainly because I came up with the story idea and the main characters first, and then had to put a face to this vague antagonistic force I had. It’s always so hard to…[Read more]

@kristianne-hassman Great suggestions, thank you! I actually hadn’t thought about her living with the Dr… So now I’m thinking I will have him adopt her. Makes sense, and her adoptive father never had much a of a strong character in my mind anyway, lol.
@arindown Thank you!! 🙂 Very interesting villain motivation! I just don’t see how it’s…[Read more]

Hi Lily! Nice to meet you. 🙂 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your ideas! They were all super helpful.
This story is YA. I’m thinking that Rubi is around 20ish.
Rubi is the main POV character. I have been thinking about adding Ikal (the son of the man whose memory was wiped) as another POV character, but I’m not…[Read more]

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts!! They were very helpful. 🙂
I had actually thought about him having some sort of physical scar too. I like the idea of it triggering his memory. But I keep coming up against the fact that this is futuristic! Surely there are ways to fix scars… Yes, replacing memories…[Read more]

Hey guys!
So right now I’m in the plotting stages of my book, and I have brainstormed myself into numerous corners. XD So I thought I would throw out some of the difficulties I’m having to see if someone with a fresh perspective can help. Thanks in advance!
First things first, my story is futuristic and it takes place in this settlement tha…[Read more]

claire replied to the topic New book blurb – thoughts? in the forum Fantasy Writers 2 weeks ago
First off, both of those blurbs are very cool. 🙂 But personally, I had trouble understanding the rewritten one. It was more vague and mysterious, but I don’t know if it was a good kind of mysterious… As a piece of writing, it was really good. But as a blurb, maybe it is too vague. I thought the first one did a better job of giving…[Read more]

@joelle-stone Thanks for the feedback! No I didn’t have time to attend the webinar… 🙁 I just saw this idea in his newsletter.
@zee Very true… I’ve been really digging into my characters’ motives, fears, and flaws lately so hopefully I will be able to post those for feedback soon! There are so many layers to developing a concept,…[Read more]

Yes, I got that email too! A very helpful idea… And I can totally relate about things getting too cliché. It’s so easy to fall into the common “groove” of a genre.
I like how you are trying to brainstorm fresh ideas to change things up. It seems like concepts always sound more cliché than the fully fleshed out idea, so I’m sure y…[Read more]

Nice to meet you! 🙂 I’m actually studying Koine Greek right now. Lots of work, lol.
Also, your signature. XD The only other place I’ve seen that saying before is in a detective video game that I like to play, lol. That’s the only reason I know what it means.
Ooh, Incans …very cool. My futuristic WIP is actually set in the…[Read more]

@jennythefaun Congratulations! That’s so exciting! 🙂 Just read your story. Super cool! I loved the sense of mystery and you did a great job with the imagery! *high five* Unfortunately I’ve never had a short story published… But I have written a few. For some reason my short stories end up being more lighthearted and funny than my usual writing. XD

Yes, it would be fun to post updates of my wip! I will be sure to tag you if I do. I’ve been really busy lately, but I’m hoping after Christmas I will be able to get some writing done.
Greek is a lot of memorization, that’s for sure XD. I’m hoping I can survive this next semester.
That’s neat that your dad teaches church…[Read more]

Yayy! So glad you like it. 🙂 I love designing book covers. 😛 Here’s a version with “Arindown” a little smaller: Is that good?
btw, your new profile pictures is really cute
Thanks! I just got my senior pictures done… I love how they turned out! 🙂

I completely understand… I haven’t been able to do much writing lately either. I was just curious because I loved the synopsis you gave. If you ever get some writing done on it, I would love to beta read 😉

Wow, sounds like an adventure for sure!
Ooh, what kind of music do you write? I don’t think I have the patience for composing. 😂 And that’s awesome that you have a teacher who pushes you hard… I’m sure you will be a great piano teacher! Do you have a favorite piece that you’ve learned?
