@this-is-not-an-alien

Hi! sorry that part two’s been taking so long, I didn’t eralize how much i needed to change for the benefit of the storyline…🤦‍♀️ And… it’s not easy being a professional procrastinator.

Ooh, what tragic symbolism did you set up for?

Yeah, the over-analysis of symbolism in books i can understand, but it’s still…[Read more]

I lean against the door post, looking through the cracked door at my little sister. Sitting on her bed, squeezing a penguin to her chest. I stand there, my heart pounding. I don’t want to be the one to tell her. I don’t want to be the one who finally crashes her world in two.

I swallow hard and make my leaden legs step forward. The white door swi…[Read more]

Hi Kendra! I’m Rose, pleased to meet you!

What’s the premise of your novel? I’d like to know more about it!

KendraBell replied 4 years, 3 months ago

Hey Rose! Nice to meet you too!

My story is about a world without music. A boy named Remi has trouble fitting in with his family and avoiding trouble with the soldiers the patrol their bay. Then one stormy night, he meets a mysterious girl who is on a dangerous treasure hunt that will change their world.

It’s been a fun and challenging writing…[Read more]

  That’s a really cool premise! It sounds like a lot of fun to write too!
  I was curious, does it have a magic/special abilities system, because I’m generally a bit uncertain of those, so I’d like to know more about it if there is one 🙂
  
  Ooh, trilogies are the best! *High-fives fellow trilogy writer* I’m drafting the third book of mine, it’s been a…[Read more]

  Hey Rose! Congrats on finishing your second draft! And that’s super cool you’ve already gotten a great start on your trilogy. So historical fantasy — tell me more about that. Is it based on our world in the past? Or are you using historical things in a totally different context? Would also be curious where the magic/fantasy part comes into your…[Read more]
Rose replied 4 years, 3 months ago

Hey Kendra!
Thank you! Well, Historical fantasy is a term I like to use to describe what is essentially high-fantasy but rooted in historical events. So, it’s a fantasy world, but it’s based off real areas, cultures, and time periods, though it also has fantasy elements.
My project doesn’t have any kind of magic/special abilities system, or any…[Read more]

Hello fellow writers! Is anyone interested in swapping novels or forming a critique group? I’m currently in a secular critique group for my novel (about 70,000 words) and it’s been super helpful. At the same time, I’m really hoping to connect with other believers and learn how you are approaching your writing from a Christ-centered perspective…[Read more]
