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]

@imwritehere1920

Thanks for all the awesome advice! And please thank your sister for me. I’ve heard of some of the books she’s suggested, but not all of them.

@imwritehere1920

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]

@arindown

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]

@imwritehere1920

Hey Lily! Thanks so much for replying. You had some really good suggestions.

Hmmm…probably MG. My main character is about 8 or 9.

Great! I’m thinking probably around 4 and up. I told the stories to my little siblings at bedtime (that was where I got the idea). The youngest kid was 3 and the oldest 11, and they all really…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920

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

@arindown

What Lily said 😉

@imwritehere1920

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]

@imwritehere1920 @abigail-rebekah

Hey ya’ll.

I’m currently working on a YA novel…but I have two MG or Kid’s books that I’d like to finish. Do you guys have any advice you’d like to share for someone who’s just starting?

My idea is to do something like Chronicles of Narnia, only with more pictures. Something that’s easy to read and exciting…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920

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]

@imwritehere1920

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]

Why do you write fantasy?  What first drew you to this genre or inspired you  write it?

@writergirl101 @arindown

Well said, both of you!

I’m not really sure why I write fantasy. It’s what comes easiest to me. Nearly every story I ever thought up fell into fantasy. The worldbuilding I do around my characters allows my s…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920

Autistic memory is something unique. People with autism remember exact details and can rattle them off just at good as any computer. If you have seen Chosen, Matthew is clearly autistic. Mine is a lesser case but I have a rather useful ability.

@a_nna

Oh do! I really like it, and I think (my opinion) that Harold Keith did the everything really well. It definitely deserved the Newberry Medal.

@imwritehere1920

Hmmm…I think I write fantasy because of books that I’ve read that have changed my prospective on the world and the Bible (Wingfeather Saga for example). Good fantasy, I…[Read more]

@arindown @imwritehere1920

The Wingfeather Saga that you’re talking about is the one that starts out with On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, right? I listened to an audiobook for that one, but haven’t been able to find the others in physical form. Andrew Peterson’s writing vaguely reminds me of N. D. Wilson’s, ever you’ve ever read his…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920

He says no (he didn’t tell me that personally, he told everyone😄). He did come out with Wingfeather Tales where he explores other places in his world along with other writers, and he also wrote Pembric’s Creaturpedia with illustrations by Aeden (his son). Have you seen the short-film he produced?

@a_nna

No? I haven’t read…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920

So, do you like writing in third person better?

Definitely. I find that I can get the perfect balance of inner character and external descriptions with third person, and I have more room to add more perspective characters. Lately, I’ve found first person completely foreign. It forces me to suddenly become much more focused on one…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920

Haha. Pun intended?

Yes! Riley Poole! That guy is so funny.😄 I love the part where he can’t think of anything else, so he tells Abigail his name is Bill.

Ohhh…it’s been way too long since I’ve seen that movie. Last time, I was so little, that I was terrified (I do remember Peter on the rearing horse).

Some of my f…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920

Hmmm…the one about Ben was probably my first “book,” even though I’ve been telling stories since I was really small.

Frodo in LoTR is probably my favorite. They do him really well in the movies. Also, Wilber in Charlotte’s Web.

@a_nna Yes! Anne of Green Gables is the best!

@melodyjoy Your old stories sound really f…[Read more]

No problem!  And Megan Follows is the best!  (Also, no one does Rachel Lynn like Patricia Hamilton!)

I wish you best of luck with Wonder and all your WIPs.  So, do you like writing in third person better?

Correction, @imwritehere1920 mentioned Anne first, but that’s directed at both of you ^.^
