Well said, both of you!

I’m not really sure why I write fantasy. It’s what comes easiest to me. Nearly every story I ever thought up fell into fantasy. The worldbuilding I do around my characters allows my s…[Read more]

*nods* I like that.

Ok so can somebody give me a basic idea of what has been decided/talked about as far as what we’re doing with characters moving in and out and all?

Sorry I haven’t been very active on here lately XD

@arindown  @rusted-knight  @melodyjoy  @a_nna  @writergirl101  (and anyone else who wants to answer

One more question (at least for now)

Why do you write fantasy?  What first drew you to this genre or inspired you  write it?

@writergirl101

I’m sticking with Libby for now. I want her to look into the special mirror before switching.😄

Quick bio… Libby is 10, she has straight, brown hair, glasses (which she hates), freckles, and it probably wearing a t-shirt and shorts. She’s also in her bare feet. She’s from Iowa in 2020.

For personality, she’s an outgoing kid who…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920

Are you going to keep writing about Wonder?

Honestly, I’m not sure. I still have everything for that project, and I revisit it every now and then to read through, revise or add to it. But I’ve kind of shifted away from the style I originally wrote it in. Not only is it in first person (something I struggle with now), but it’s very…[Read more]

That’s so funny!  I haven’t really tried that with my characters (though, I have thought about changing the plot, not the setting.)

Anyway, my younger sister loves Anne of Green Gables.  Have you seen s…[Read more]

I hear ya girl!  I probably have waaay too many notebooks than is healthy for me 😉

So sorry you lost one of your notebooks!!  Maybe it will turn up again?  And that is cool that your dreams sparked ideas for stories (I jotted down a couple from my own dreams, but…[Read more]

@melodyjoy

Wow! I loved reading through all of those. I have a notebook of half-baked story ideas myself, some with titles and other without, with little descriptions and notes underneath. Most of them are barely filled out. Like this series of random thoughts and points I found:

Well, according to my mom, I was making up stories with my dolls and stuffed animals when I was like 2-3 yr. old?  So I really don’t remember any of that XD  But I do remember writing a story about a horse named Thunder.  Probably was between 5-7 yr.…[Read more]

Good idea! Will do…right now. (:

@writergirl101

Hey, it worked :b (I really should learn how to use the forum emojis… all I can manage is the smiley face, haha)

I think the best way an author can do all of this (innocence, realism, the good, the bad, and the ugly) is to really grasp who their characters are as people and reveal that to the reader. The reader should come away…[Read more]

@a_nna

Thanks so much for asking the question on why we write, Anna.  I really enjoyed hearing everyone’s stories.  It was very encouraging. (btw, my name is Lily)
