Hey!
Oh cool…what’s your YA book about? (If you mind me asking 🙂 )
So, do you mean you’ve already started writing them? If so, how long are they so far?
Well, my advice would be to:
1. Choose a genre that you want to write in mainly (I’ve chosen to write historical-fiction at the moment for my novella series I’m hoping to…[Read more]

Oh wow, the exact same thing happened to my current WIP! I originally planned it to be a short story of 6,000 words (and I hoped to sell it to a children’s magazine) but after about, oh, 40,000 words, it became apparent that it was going to be a novel XD And no problem, your explanation wasn’t long-winded.

@imwritehere1920 @abigail-rebekah
Hey ya’ll.
I’m currently working on a YA novel…but I have two MG or Kid’s books that I’d like to finish. Do you guys have any advice you’d like to share for someone who’s just starting?
My idea is to do something like Chronicles of Narnia, only with more pictures. Something that’s easy to read and exciting…[Read more]

Aw thanks 🙂
I use YWW (Young Writer’s Workshop). Are you part of it?
Ooh cool!
Yes, definitely…they did a really good job.
Aw thank you! The genre for my novella is historical-fiction (with a little clean romance in there too 😉 ).
This is the synopsis or premise:
World War II is sweeping across Europe, stealing the…[Read more]

It’s so nice to ‘meet’ you too! Thanks so much! I like your name too! 🙂
Which writing website do you use?
I can’t tell much, but my WIP is about a brother and sister who find a lost phoenix and have to return it home (it’s much more complex than that; this is just the gist).
And yes, I saw the Giver movie; the visuals and h…[Read more]

Hey Lily,
Nice to “meet” you 😉
I love your name btw; it’s very pretty!
That’s all good…I’ve been mainly using another writing website recently so haven’t really done much on here.
Ooh cool genre! What is your WIP about, if you don’t mind me asking?
I loved the film for The Giver. Have you seen it? That genre is really…[Read more]

Hi there! *waves back*. I’m Lily. I know this is coming really late (I signed up for the forum, oh, about a month ago? Idk, quarantine has messed up my ability to keep track of time XD). Anyway, I haven’t really visited this forum much, because it didn’t look like a lot of people used it recently; but then I figured since I’m…[Read more]

Good job! You excellently ”prepare a way” for the surprising arrival of the actual Messiah
You portray characters very well.
Thanks!
It’s way more likely that the teacher will be an older, charismatic man, who enraptures young, hot blooded people like Ruben.
I have an idea of how I can fix that. Thanks! (:

I’m so sorry about the POV! I tried to put a break whenever it switched, and got rid of a lot of thoughts several people had… Do you think I should just leave out Rachel’s part or something?

Your prose is great, and the chapter is very good. I think you portrayed the time era very good, and I loved your subtle references to the Bible – The covenant of David and Jonathan, and Boas – the godly, not quite poor man, that take scare of a young woman / girl without a family. Maybe it was totally accidental though, but I still…[Read more]
