@godlyfantasy12 That sounds awesome!
@joy-caroline Please don’t beat yourself up! 1k is more than enough!
@devastate-lasting Girl, you are a better person than I am. I have absolutely NO IDEA how you do what you do!!! I truly am in awe! After writing three pages of a book in a notebook five years ago, I’ve since given up! I take notes, but otherwise, everything ends up either on or going on my computer.I may have to try writing some things in short stories first. That sounds like a great way do to things. Like, way more concise and organized than I really am. 😉
Yay!
@issawriter7 Awesome! Could you tell us a little bit of what your new WIP is about? How huge was that chunk? How long do you think your story will end up being? (You’ll find, if you haven’t already, that I am more curious than Curious George…my apologies.)January 15, 2021 at 10:34 am #89117@issawriter7 Of course!
Lately, it's been on my brain
Would you mind letting me know
If hours don't turn into daysJanuary 15, 2021 at 10:46 am #89118@gracie-j Ahh thanks for your encouragement! Only downside is having to decipher all my handwriting and type it all in, but I’m not gonna think about that for now, haha.

I actually did take a break yesterday, so hopefully today I’ll make more progress.

So, I haven’t gotten all the details worked out yet. It’s called Heir to His Crown and is a medieval fantasy story. Prince Keenum is the rightful heir to his father’s crown, but about nine years ago his country, Cedulnia, was overthrown. Now the people are tired of the current ruler, Valdork, and are ready to take back their rightful freedom. Keenum only wants to escape the scars of his past and find a much-needed peace among the chaos of his beloved country. But when a resistance group helps him escape from Valdork and invites him to join in taking back Cedulnia, Keenum knows he has to do something to save his kingdom. But long-hidden secrets come to light and the truths about a powerful magic arises. Keenum has one chance to give Cedulnia back her freedom and find the strength to be the king everyone wants him to be too.
That’s just kind of a rough draft of my synopsis. I’m still trying to get the whole plot worked out. I wrote about 30K words. That’s why I was taking a little break. My brain was basically zapped of creativity after that. My stories tend to go about 70K but I think this one might get to about 80K. Haha, that’s okay!! I like answering your questions!!

I just finished another draft of Calligraphy Guild! 😀 😀 I’m planning to take a break and focus on a couple of other projects for maybe a week-ish before I dive into the next one. I have two more drafts I want to get done before March, and then I send it off to sensitivity readers to get feedback on the characters with chronic illnesses! I’m super excited to have more readers look at it. I’m nearing the end of what I can fix without outside feedback, lol, and I just really enjoy sharing this book with people!

January 16, 2021 at 5:15 pm #89195@godlyfantasy12 Yay! I have not written anything today!
I’m just thinking about submitting a short story to a magazine…dunno if I should though….

If hours don't turn into daysJanuary 16, 2021 at 5:17 pm #89196@devastate-lasting Go for it! The worst that can happen is they don’t take it, but then you still have a short story to work on and keep in your back pocket for a later submission opportunity. 🙂

January 16, 2021 at 5:17 pm #89197@r-m-archer Awesome!!
@devastate-lasting Word of advice if ya do! Make sure they are a good magazine to go with (as in they won’t steal ur stuff) I heard about a boy who entered a contest or something and the newspaper or whoever took his story and didn’t give him any credit. Or something like that.But if it’s good and u want to then go for it!!
as for me, writing has been going really really well
