I’m a 15 yr old writer from Canada who loves Tolkien books and many many many others. I started seriously writing around 12-13 and mainly write fantasy and romance (I say mainly in a ‘i’ve never finished a book yet way’)…

YAY! I don’t believe I’ve met another INFP at least that I know of. *high five*. To try answer your question (though this will be rough), I am proud to be an INFP. I know pride is bad, but I don’t mean it in a bad way if ya get what I mean. I’m happy that I’m part of a more rare and dreamer personality type and I can see it helpi…[Read more]

Hi and welcome!
Yes we are few in number but great in heart!😁
I am and still am the same way! It’s just something I can pour my heart into and because I’m INFP, I have a hard time talking to people about my struggles so writing is somewhere safe that I can put them.
If you’re willing to share, I’m interested in hearing more…[Read more]

If it’s something you would read, would you like to Alpha read for me? -

Thank you for the suggestions!
yes there is a good reason for them to flee to the uncle. So at the ball Mia wanders off and sees her stepmother and the earl together. She hears them talking about an evil plot (haven’t totally figured that out yet) Mia goes and tells Gabriel, but him, the loyal son that he is, doesn’t believe her right…[Read more]

WOW, just WOW! Thank you soooooo much! That was a lot to unpack and was sooooooo good!! Ok to start with hot guy;) So he is not the redhead or funny type…seeing as she like thought he was hot as soon as she laid eyes on him, it can’t be because of his humor or that he is carefree. So I’m going towards either the dark exotic, mys…[Read more]

Ya the illegitimate is a way I’m changing it up and that is a reason the mother is so spiteful…but I could have it that her identity is just hidden. Actually I really like that! If you want to read it, I could add you to the doc and you could be an Alpha reader as I write it…if you would like that just shoot an email to this address…[Read more]

Ok, so there is a bit of a story behind this romance before I tell my plot. So a year or two ago I decided that I wanted to try my hand at writing a Cinderella retelling. The only problem was that I don’t really like the fairy fairytale with all the magic. So I decided I was going to write it in medieval England, Germany, France, or Italy. I pu…[Read more]

MelancholicWriter replied to the topic What romances would you recommend? in the forum Romance Writers 4 years, 10 months ago
I do have to agree with where @legomaiego is going. And even though I gave some books with romance that weren’t too romantic, they aren’t really romances. If you are going to read a romance you will most likely have to deal with kissing, romance, etc. It’s just kinda part of the romance part of romance…

This is what I have so far…I kinda ditched it right now for my Cinderella retelling…
Prologue
When I stepped into the room, fashionably late as usual, I first laid eyes on what I thought to be the hottest guy ever created. He caught my eyes and I blushed. A little smile flitted across his face. This guy was so hot. I quickly made my…[Read more]

Thanks for the tag but I can’t even keep up with the story I’m on now and I’m going to be starting work and getting even more busy so I’ll have to bail out. Sry

Hi it’s nice to meet you! I’m also a joiny from this year.
Your WIP sounds cool! I would love to read the prologue.
I have a few WIP going right now. I have a coming of age, a fantasy about a girl who gets pulled out of earth to a world called Genoa. She has to go on a quest in order for her to be able to get back to earth. Then she finds…[Read more]

Thanks! That really helps, though I chose not to have him rape her…I just wasn’t sure how that would work out but she is going to break up with him…I’ll add a part of the story to show the reason why…
Finally Steve broke the silence. “Selina, I love you a lot.”
She shifted uncomfortably, not sure what to think about this dec…[Read more]

Sorry for not writing for so long…been super busy

“Where are you two from?” one of the people there asked.
“We are from medieval Italy.”
