Hehe, well then I might as well tell you! ;D
I was at my first writing conference having Lindsay sign my copy of The Story Peddler, and whilst she was signing it, I asked her when the second book was coming out. I thought it was releasing in three months, so my ready-to-go answer was going to be “wow, that’s pretty soon!”. But she responded by…[Read more]

This was a STUNNING story, Cassie! Your worldbuilding and imagery were incredible – I could picture everything so clearly. I started reading this planning to only finish the first half, and use the rest as motivation to get my college homework done … but that didn’t happen, I read the whole thing in one go xD. You did an absolutely WONDERFUL job…[Read more]

I used to avoid nonfiction—in both reading and writing—until I discovered that creative nonfiction employs literary techniques usually associated with fiction. How could this be? And would trying it expand my ski […]

Many of us, myself included, struggle to break away from the types of stories we gravitate toward. We assume that we need more training before we can tackle a different genre or point of view. But expanding is one […]

Very interesting article! (And I am now quite curious about your interaction with Lindsay Franklin…)

Hehe, well then I might as well tell you! ;D
I was at my first writing conference having Lindsay sign my copy of The Story Peddler, and whilst she was signing it, I asked her when the second book was coming out. I thought it was releasing in three months, so my ready-to-go answer was going to be “wow, that’s pretty soon!”. But she responded by saying “in July!”, which was /nine/ months away. So, instead of answering, I just stared at her point-blank. For … multiple moments. My brain would not word. And then I managed to mumble “um…that’s…not too long!” and proceeded to rapidly scuttle away like an embarrassed little cuttlefish. XD
(but we’re friends now, and she got a grand kick out of my recounting this encounter to her, so I guess it ended up for the best in the end! ;D)

Oh my word, I was so excited when I clicked on this post and read the first paragraph and was like “WAIT – I KNOW THIS”. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE STORIES IN ALL OF EXISTENCE. If you ever write a follow-up novel to this I would 100% buy it ;D. IT’S SO, SO GOOD <33333
