This is an awesome topic to start! I love characters from so many stories, so it was super wise to lower the options to characters we’ve made up. 🙂

My favourite character that I’ve invented is definitely a teen boy named Edmond. He’s seriously awesome!!!!! Technically it was my friend and I who made him up together, because we’re writing a…[Read more]

I love the way you put it. Playing in the mud. 🙂 Super cute.

I’ll keep it in mind.

I didn’t see this till now, but I’m still going to answer because I’ve struggled with the same thing, Madelyn!

I read your question and knew immediately what I was going to say.

And then I saw Alabama’s reply.

She answered with exactly what I was thinking, just in a more refined way. 😉 But then again, she’s always had the reputation of…[Read more]

Can I give a few suggestions? If not, it’s totally fine!

I know I’m still a nubby at writing myself, but I’ve had this same problem this summer because I’ve gotten really busy.

One thing I’ve learned is: instead of going through the day thinking that I’ll write whenever I have a big chunk of free time, (which then ends up meaning right before bed), I try to take every spare second (not quite, but you…[Read more]

That’s awesome that you live so close to the water! We used to have a log house that my dad made right by the water, but then we moved from that town to the one we’re in now. Ya, it can be annoying doing stuff like swimming with younger kids. We fostered for many years, so I’m used to having kids around, (especially toddlers and babies)…[Read more]
