Finally, I have time to respond!

To Josey: That makes me happy! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

To Aiden: Oh, I didn’t know that! Those books must be really cool. I’m sorry that Gary Paulsen passed away. He had great writing and was probably a great person. 🙁 On another note, I do know how awesome Percy Jackson is! I’m such a big fan of Uncle Rick. Did you know that a Percy Jackson show is coming out on Disney+? The cast members for Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood are Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, and Aryan Simhadri respectively. I’m very hyped for the show. Two Christmases ago, I got all of the 5 PJO books. (The Christmas after I got the rest of KOTLC and this last one I got all of Artemis Fowl <3.) 

How do you pronounce PJO? (I say Pee-Jay-Oh. I don’t kn”Oh” why. LOL.)

To Ruchama: Oh goodie, and yes, she is! She inspired me and does to this day. She really only self-published though, but she says that I can basically have the rights to the book if I want it. I totally do because I could make so much money off of it from getting an agent (if I could even! Have you any clue how hard that is?) and yeah. It’s Christian Fiction apparently, and it’s called All The Wrong Places by Memphis Mathenia. That is not my mom’s real name and the Mathenia is pronounced (Muh-Thee-Knee). No “uh”. Anyway, I want to make a ton of $$$ from selling the rest of her hundred give or take copies. I’d give y’all one, but it is a MA book, so even am not allowed to read it. However, since I am 14 and turning 15 in a little bit over half a year, she is letting me read it!

Exploring names is fun! Do you use baby name websites? I know a ton of links to some which are really helpful. This is super great because a lot of times my characters’ names have meanings. For one, Lottie had meaning because it’s related to my mom, but Castor has meaning because Castor is a constellation and astronomy means a lot to me. You see? Are your characters named like that (with names with meaning)? Making a character have personalities like people you know is really smart because you know how those interactions would go. I think my mom agrees. And, same!

P.S. (To All) I just realized that sometimes, I sound like Roddy from Whatshisface, in how I speak modernly but sometimes have a few bouts of sounding like a British lad in the 1920s.
