That’s a really good question. What makes my characters favorites?

I think it’s when I really connect to them, understand them, and even feel sorry for them. I also think personality plays a role in it…most of my favorites are more shy and somewhat steady. They all have a distinct “inside” courage, are good with animals, and are…[Read more]

Hey! Welcome! Do you know what’s funny?  You said you like Edward Eager books, and the moment I read that, I had just finished the first book I have read by him!! It was sooo good that I started and finished it in a couple of hours.  It was called: “Half Magic.” Have you read that one?

Aw, that’s so exciting that you’re getting a pu…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Ahh, that makes sense and is pretty funny 😛

Thanks!! As it turns out, I guess rambled thoughts between people can be quite fun 😉

YES!! Coffee is the best!  Though I hardly get to drink it ’cause.. well.. I’m a child who is constantly told to stop wiggling ( and who also may or may not be able to be described as hyper-active :P),…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Aw thank you, Lona!  Really?  So if I said something sarcastic to your sister then, would she sort of get that I’m kidding or would she be rather confused?

Thank you again!! All you have said has been very charming and delightful as well. 😛 I enjoy talking to you so much.

So, here’s a random question (I like asking random q…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Thank you! Those are super helpful comments. And I’ve gotten quite a few other responses that agree with you (it’s kinda nice when beta-reviews are consistent).

@lonathecat

I completely agree.  People can sometimes guess pretty well what a character can do, but really, I think only the author can truly understand that the most.

Aw, thanks! That means a lot.  My family can never tell when I’m joking for some reason, so they get confused b/c they’re not sure when I’m kidding, lol.

And yes!  I co…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Oh, really?  That’s been happening to me a bit, too.  I’m on a role-play on a google doc with a bunch of people, and there’s one person who always makes mine do things.  Sometimes I fine with what the person makes my character do, but other times it really annoys me, lol.  So yeah, I get that.

Yes!  I do!  Online, I’d say I’m more-…[Read more]

@lonathecat

I like collabs.  They’re fun, and it’s nice to plan and work stuff out for a story with other people.  It’s interesting to see peoples’ different writing styles and characters, and I’ve learned a lot from doing collabs.  One thing I’m not fond about colloabs, though, is how if one person is busy, or is gone for a little bit, the wh…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Yes, I am with you on the juggling thing.  Right now, not only am I writing a book, but I’m in 6-ish (maybe soon to be 7) collaborative stories!! I don’t know how I’m alive right now…

Lol, no, it’s not weird.  Andrew Peterson just created such a beautiful, creative, amazing world, you have to love it when there’s anything written i…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Thanks! Though I suppose I don’t know if I’d totally say play, play.  More like I’m teaching myself the guitar, but hey! I’m getting there 😛  Right now, I’m learning the song: “I’m Leaving on a Jet plane” by John Denver.

Lol, yeah, sometimes it can feel like a lot, but you’re right, siblings are great.  Annoying at times, sure, but…[Read more]

@lonathecat

That is so great! You’ll have to let me know if it turns out with your book club.

By the way, it’s not free anymore, it’s 2.99. There is a paperback that will hopefully be released soon.

@lonathecat

Helloooooooooooooo!!! Nice to meet you!

I am also a nerdy girl who enjoys the arts!  I write, and write, and read, and play guitar, and sorta sing, and draw, and hike, and the all stuff in-between in my free time.  I play with my six siblings a lot, and I have been photographing my younger sisters who honestly look like child m…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Is your name by chance from the wingfeather saga?

Yes!!! You’ve read it!?! *does little happy dance* awesome! You know how Peet kept getting the Igiby/Wingfeather’s name mixed up? Well, I took it and made it mine 😀

AHG stands for American Heritage Girls. Ya know Girl Scouts? Well, I don’t want to compare AHG to them, but most folks…[Read more]
