I don’t think I’ll be attempting NaNo to any degree this year. I’m just too busy. How about you?

I’ve only read the first False Prince book. I might read the other ones eventually, but from what I’ve gathered, I might not end up liking them very much. How do they compare to the first book? Have you read The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner? It’s…[Read more]

Gary D. Schmidt’s most well-known book is probably The Wednesday Wars. I’ve read almost all of his books and I highly, highly recommend them!

I have a few WIPs I procrastinate working on, but the last one I worked on is a fantasy that plays with the chosen one trope. I suppose it would be considered YA, but I don’t care much…[Read more]

I volunteer! I needed a certain number of community service hours to graduate, so that’s one way I got them. I enjoy being at the library though so I plan to keep helping out for as long as I can.

Do you write YA, or just MG? And have you read any of Gary D. Schmidt’s books? He’s one of my favorite authors and writes MG and…[Read more]

I honestly hadn’t thought too hard about this question before and I still don’t have a good answer other than “I’m a young adult myself and so I just find it easiest to write for my own age group”. I guess not everything I’ve written would be considered YA–but I don’t know if it would be considered adult either. Most of my…[Read more]

I’m a big fan of the Oxford comma. It generally makes things a lot more clear.

I really like Pixar movies–Up, Soul, and Onward probably being my favorites. And I like some other stuff like Rogue One, LOTR, and The Princess Bride but I’m not a big movie watcher in general.

Limericks are fun! They’re great because you can…[Read more]

Hey @the-unwavering-writer!

I’m Bethany and I will also get on you for not using proper punctuation and grammar! And I love parentheses too. What are your thoughts on the Oxford comma?

I have only seen two Marvel movies, but frankly, I’m not that impressed so far. What did you think of that Spiderman movie? I’ve heard it was good.

What kind of…[Read more]

Well I don’t have the time nor the inclination to respond to y’all’s comments (look at me using y’all–I hope I did it correctly) but I agree with ’em.

Unfortunately haven’t done as much reading recently as I’d like, and the reading I have done has been mediocre, but here goes.

Chaotic Good by Whitney Gardner (1.5/5)

Only practice can make you a better writer for sure. Definitely don’t take cuts out of your writing time for needless reading time.

However, I enjoy reading and it honestly inspires me. When I read a well-written book, it makes me want to write. Yeah, I’m an immature writer; maybe that inspiration ceases to affect you when you’re a pro. I don’t…[Read more]

Sorry if they’re blurry–I had to use my computer’s webcam

@calidris

Have you seen pictutes of the the giant hummingbird? They’re so big they almost look like a swallow! They’re very dull and brown, though. I find it funny how aggressive they are because they’re so tiny! It seems like it’s usually the little birds that are aggressive, but I suppose that isn’t the case with geese lol

I have! Yeah, tho…[Read more]
