My Dad Once Got Into An Argument With Someone Online And To This Day He Still Tells Me About How PizzaKing74

My Dad once got into an argument with someone online and to this day he still tells me about how PizzaKing74 was wrong.

Hi! My question is: what inspired you to write your stories? (especially Story Thieves, since I still can't wrap my head around how the plot is SO GOOD)

Aw, thank you!

Honestly, I never know how to answer this, as I have no idea where inspiration comes from, other than just random ideas that pop into my head over the course of a day, or writing a book I'd want to read. But once I have an idea, like "a girl who can jump into books and become a part of the story," that's when I sit down and think about it for a pretty long time, several months to a year, and see where that idea might go, build up the characters in my head, and what fun things I could do with the story.

So the inspiration is usually the easiest part, unfortunately. I tend to e-mail myself those random ideas, and stick them in a folder for later, and right now I have ... 782 messages in there (yikes). It's the sitting down and thinking/daydreaming/building out the ideas that takes all the work, and hopefully leads to a story that other people will like!

(Other random ideas that started that way, and I realized I could use for STORY THIEVES?

--Descendants of Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty at a boarding school, only the Moriarty descendant is trying to be good, and our hero.

--A girl's future self sends her back a time machine, only for the time police to arrest her, since her future self is a time criminal.

--Reverse of Superman origin, where a girl from Earth is sent to another planet before Earth blows up.

That last one in particular would never have worked as a story on its own, but it worked pretty well for one character in a series!)

Too adorable

ONCE UPON THE END: An Epilogue

Phillip’s Coronation

Phillip shifted from foot to foot as his mother slowly, solemnly walked towards him, his father’s crown held aloft in her hands.

“They’ll be here,” Penelope whispered, nudging him playfully with her shoulder. “Don’t worry.”

He forced the hint of a smile for her, then turned back to his mother, only feet away now. If Jack and May did intend to see him declared king, then they had just moments left to arrive.

Day 7: FREE DAY! I based this drawing on a dream I had where Bethany and May were best friends! (now that I think about it, it wasn't a crazy dream! I think they would be friends if they met)
