Ok I think I got everyone.
Hello.
It has been very enjoyable to watch the debating/agreeing/disagreeing/arguing over the past few days. When LRC and I came up with this idea, we knew we wanted to spark a conversation, and it seems…[Read more]

Hey @beth20, I would agree with what everyone else has said so far. Although mild romance threads and are fine in middle grade, swearing of any kind automatically rules it out for that specific target audience. Like Coralie said, I think you are looking at works targeted towards the YA audience at this point.

We’ve got an interesting age gap going on here haha. I’m seeing a lot of 16s and a lot of early 20s. Anyway I’m 18, and @jessi-rae, I think I have had the same problem of not including enough conflict in my stories also lol. Your WIP sounds really awesome! Is it going to include realistic HF elements or are you going to try to avoid historical references?

@seekjustice Eyyy wwi writing buddies? I’m in ;).
Here’s the basic storyline:
Twins, Helena and Laurence have never been separated, but Laurence illegally enlists, along side his fiery friend Russell, and dies in the Battle of Belleau Wood. The theme is strength. Laurence has never been a fighter, he’s a writer who loves the beauty around him a…[Read more]

@abigail-rebekah Yeah right now I have the kids struggling with personal convictions as to whether or not the war is right, also struggling with whether or not they should enlist even though they are underage. Those are all really good points, thanks so much!

Hey all! A year or so ago I got the idea for a WWI novel. I shelved the idea at that point because I really was not equipped with what I needed to be able to focus on it. Now I’m thinking of getting it out and trying to rehash the plot and theme points I already have. The current main theme is strength, specifically where different people get…[Read more]
