Are you going to keep writing about Wonder?
Honestly, I’m not sure. I still have everything for that project, and I revisit it every now and then to read through, revise or add to it. But I’ve kind of shifted away from the style I originally wrote it in. Not only is it in first person (something I struggle with now), but it’s very…[Read more]

Yes, I just recently saw them! I liked the first one, but the others kinda went downhill. I like the Megan Follows one better, definitely. There can never be another Anne! 😁

Not really, if everyone is writing. In that case, my sister and friend wanted to tell me what to write. 😆
I might continue, but probably not. Fun fact: the characters in my WIP are those characters but I’m writing them in a different setting! XD
Anne of Green Gables always makes me happy. 😊 Pollyanna was too much of a M…[Read more]

Wow! I loved reading through all of those. I have a notebook of half-baked story ideas myself, some with titles and other without, with little descriptions and notes underneath. Most of them are barely filled out. Like this series of random thoughts and points I found:

Wow! You have great memory. I only know my stories because I have most of the earliest one’s on an old computer.
Actually, some of my best ideas have come from dreams. It’s so crazy! Some characters from books show up occasionally, or people from my school. It’s nice because I don’t have to think about what they’d say–they just…[Read more]

Hey, it worked :b (I really should learn how to use the forum emojis… all I can manage is the smiley face, haha)
I think the best way an author can do all of this (innocence, realism, the good, the bad, and the ugly) is to really grasp who their characters are as people and reveal that to the reader. The reader should come away…[Read more]

You know what, I have no clue if he did or not–I never finished it! 😆 I don’t think I was cruel enough to have anything bad happen to him, though. 😂
Fonts are just so fun! 😛 And it’s the best seeing your name on the cover page, even if it’s not published. It makes you feel so good about yourself! 😝
Can you remember you fi…[Read more]

@a_nna @writergirl101 @imwritehere1920
This looks really cool. Ya’ll have such cute first stories.😂
I first started writing because I liked it. When I got older I wrote because I needed it. Now, I write because it’s part of me.
One of my favorite things (if favorite things are possible) about God is how creative He is. His art (nature) and His…[Read more]

Yes, I was so excited to show people my story! 😂
I think I was in the 8-10 range when I started plotting my ideas. That never worked out well, but I at least tried to incorporate themes. 😊
What about you?
Same to you! 😉
You should run for the presidency–lower the taxes and the people will love you!! 😜

It’s something I’m working on too. Thanks for the encouragement! I really needed it 🙂
Wise words 🙂 Yes, I’ve read it–and I agree completely!

Oh, cool! I love stories set in that time period… 🙂
I think I prefer writing YA fiction, but I haven’t really written anything else so I’m not sure. 🙂 BTW, The False Prince sounds really intriguing.

Ella replied to the topic Why do you write? in the forum Fantasy Writers 5 years, 11 months ago
Y’all, that was so elegant! 😄 Mine was short but from the heart. 😉
The first story I can remember was three chapters long, with huge kindergarten handwriting. It was called The Teres of the Man… 😐 *face palm* I was so proud of it, and it included illustrations!! 😃
I think fiction impacts me more than other…[Read more]

@writergirl101 @imwritehere1920
I write because the stories are there, inside of me, all around me, and if I don’t get them out, they will always be trapped there, building up. I used to believe writing was a form of worship–just like singing and art. When I wrote, I was giving back to God the stories he had first given me. I still believe that,…[Read more]

I’ve been good. I went to different sleepovers two nights in a row which was fun. (: I’m glad you’re figuring it out!

@imwritehere1920 Where did you hear about the guilds? Because those were discontinued awhile ago, and if it still mentions them somewhere on the site, I’ll need to take care of that. 😛 Groups have replaced the guilds. You can find groups in the nav bar. Forum > Groups.

Violet replied to the topic Hi everyone! in the forum Introduce Yourself 6 years ago
@imwritehere1920 Yay, another Star Wars fan. Though I must admit I’m not a fan of the new stuff. My favorite character is definitely Obi-Wan Kenobi. My favorite background character though is Zam Wessel.
I’ve never seen the movie. I’ve got a huge number of movies I need to watch that are based off books I’ve read. lol. Anna and the Kind of S…[Read more]

Hi Lilly! That’s so cool!
I really enjoy Medival Fantasy too!
I haven’t read the False Prince yet but I’ll add it to my to-read list.
Yay, you like crafting too!
I really like a lot of different crafts like painting, clay crafts, and papercrafts. What are your favorites?
I want to try clay charms and wall art during the s…[Read more]

No, I’ve never read The False Prince. What is it about?
Yeah, I learned the basics, too, but I stink at it. 😉
