Hello! I hope I’m not butting in.
What’s the Book Thief about? Can it make me cry any harder than A Tale of Two Cities? I don’t believe I’ve met the book that can. (Give it to me!)
And…why is everybody shouting? (Don’t worry, I’m always the one who glares at people who are shouting with a wilting glance…at least I hope it’s wilting.)

LEAVE MY BABY, AYDIN ALONE!!!!!! *Also me: torturing my baby Alessio…*
Pft, I can’t even remember what it was before Camvir-something-blahblah, I can’t wait to see what it’ll be by the end of the year, probably something completely different and it’ll be all my fault *I’m so happy!* 😇

I’m afraid to say that the feedback is all over the place. xD Some of my betas really liked a couple of the characters, and others thought those characters had serious problems (and vice versa).
I suppose the most common agreement is that the fight scenes to be edited and shortened (though one of my beta’s likes them a sur…

How are you finding the feedback? Are you spotting any patterns or is everyone violently disagreeing?

Hey Rose, I’m doing alright. The weather is frigid in Missouri, so I assume that the Netherlands is covered in ice. School started, and college starts soon, so I solemnly await busyness.
How about you?
Pretty good! We had a couple really icy days already, but now we’ve returned to the natural Dutch state. Mud. Lots of it. Rai…[Read more] -

Hey Noah! How are you doing? How are your beta-readers progressing? Do you have most of your feedback in? How is the new series coming along, are your characters cooperating? XD
(Those were a lot of questions… XD)

Hi…!
So poems are very new to me. I have this poem that isn’t sitting right with me word wise. It doesn’t sound like a poem to me. Now I know nothing about poems, so any advice you could give would be oh so helpful.
Thank you for your time.

A lush forest is blemished by this coulee
A imprudent child is at the bottom of it

Hi poets! I have a poem and would like to know your thoughts on it. I’m very new to poetry. I’d like to show this to a mentor of mine who sparked the idea.
The Scar
A lush forest is blemished by this coulee
A imprudent child is at the bottom of it
That child cowering in the coulee
Too petrified to call for aid
Like a worried mother, You came

Ah, yes, guilty as charged. I used to love my stick-men battles way back in the day.
Oh, absolutely. Mine were of the rectangle horse varietyXD

Nice. Seeing first hand sources of writing and archaeology is always fascinating.
Exactly! This was originally written on birch bark, not parchment, so it’s amazing it was preserved that well.

It’s one of the many doodles made by a seven-year-old boy named Onfim who lived in Novgorod (now Russia) around 700 years ago.

As you do.

Happy Holidays, I hope you had a great Christmas 🙂
I’m getting a zillion character ideas just thinking about it.
Absolutely! I think one of the interesting things about it is that family dynamics function completely differently from most others and that even in the same circumstances, it could work completely differently. Endless p…[Read more]

Sibling dynamics are my absolute favorite thing to write, and parent-child dynamics are up there too. That’s actually what most of my first book is centered around and it was really fun to write!
