@rose-colored-fancy I’d love for you to check it out!

A really interesting article! To be honest, I have no idea what to think/feel about Disney and their current “Live-action” spree. Disney has never been part of my life and I just don’t really care about them, so neither the nostalgia works on me, and I’m not outraged that they’ve ruined my childhood movies. But I do find the wider…[Read more]

I think they’re just ordinary goldfish, though I’m not 100% certain. A friend of ours bred them for a while and gave us a few. They don’t look particularly odd though, so I’m guessing they’re just normal ones.

@wordsmith Thank you! I have an Instagram account dedicated to it, so I discuss a lot of stuff on there (my handle is…[Read more]

Wow, that’s quite an array of animals! I really wanted guinea pigs and hermit crabs when I was little, but we ended up getting a dog and it was love at first sight for me. Since then, I’ve also got four horses and three more dogs. My first dog and my old horse died a few years ago, so currently I have three of each. My dream pet in the…[Read more]

Hello! I don’t think we’ve met, but I wanted to jump on here and say that I love animal nonfiction! I used to write articles about native wildlife for my local newspaper and I loved doing it. I wish I still had time. I’m also I’m a dog trainer, and I write heaps of things on training, behaviour and genetics!

It’s lovely to meet you 😀

Ooh, this is hard, but I’ll have a go at listing a few of my favourites.

• A Tale of Two Cities–novel
• The Eagle of the Ninth–novel
• The Lord of the Rings–novel and movies
• The Hobbit–novel
• The Chronicles of Narnia–series
• Howl’s Moving Castle–book and anime
• Unnatural Causes–nonfiction
• All That Remains–nonfiction
• The King’s…

Hello there! It’s Chelsea! How are you going? How’s your current WIP going?

@charityl

Hello! How have you been? What have been your favourite recent reads?

@kb-writer

Personally, what has always worked for me is writing the first draft, and maybe allowing a few people to read it (so far I’ve only done this for sequels and only for a handful of people who beta read the first novel) but more for encouragement than critique purposes. Then I write a second draft, fixing everything that I can see myself…[Read more]

@authorenpointe

Hello there! Do you do ballet? I’ve been doing an adult ballet class (so nothing fancy or hardcore lol) for the past two years and I love it! I also do Highland dancing as well 🙂

All right, obligatory question asking…do you have a favourite author or books? And do you have any pets?

@epicaddie2

I 100% agree that theme/message is hard. My book currently doesn’t even have one. I think ones coming out organically but in the next draft I’ll definitely have to work on it more.

It’s quite a feat to go through Lewis’s entire collection! Are you going to read his theological ones too or are you mostly focusing on the fiction…[Read more]

@epicaddie2

Ah, good 😀

I will definitely hit you up when I need an alpha/beta. It’ll probably be next year some time (hopefully soon!)

Oh that sounds really cool! I like the concept and the plot and I wish you the best of luck with it. and likewise, if you need an alpha…let me know 😉

I actually think the only reason they’re called sci-fi…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

Just needed to jump in and say that I hated both of those books too. Island of the Blue Dolphins I genuinely found traumatizing. It was awful. And I just didn’t like Healer’s Apprentice and the other books by the same author.

@sparrowhawke

Hello! We sound very similar! I also love languages, history and mythology, I’m currently learning Hawaiian and Auslan (sign language). History is also awesome and I think its really cool that you’re into Incan history! I’ve always wanted to study it but I just haven’t had enough time with all my other historical obsessions.

And I…[Read more]

@epicaddie2

Hello Addie!! It’s been quite a while…*backs off awkwardly, hoping you remember me because it would be really awkward if you didn’t* 😛

I didn’t know you read and wrote historical fantasy! It’s absolutely my niche and I love it and there’s so few good historical fantasy published. Also, your current novel sounds so awesome! The one…[Read more]

@joelle-stone No worries! I’m glad you found it helpful!

It’s in Hawaiian! I started learning it for a book of mine quite some time ago and I got really obsessed. It’s possibly my favourite language.
