Anything is good (whether writing or outlining) as long as you can get 50k out of it:)

You certainly haven’t been boring anyone with those awesome characters of yours!
Yes, Deek is sooooooooo cute! (Please don’t tell him I said that XD ).
I was glad to keep them in the novel too, (and I love shipping them when they’re out of earshot or thinkshot:)
Thank you so so much!! That makes me super happy to hear:D

Amazing Alexa!! Btw, what is your WriMo title? I’m WritingWarrior, (there is someone else who has a title like that too, but mine’s the one without the portrait). I wish you all the best of writerly wishes in April, (because you such a great writer, you won’t need luck!) If you ever need tips on the nutty NaNo month, don’t be afraid to ask, I’m…[Read more]

Thank you!! 🙂 I’m Lexi.M. (I tried to be ‘Lexi M.’ but it was taken, so just add the period before/after the ‘M’. Ooh, I’ll try to find you then!! Thank you for the warm wishes (I may need them) and I wish you the best as well (but I have no doubt you don’t need them)! Aw, thanks so much! And any tips are welcome, since this is my very first…[Read more]

Great! Before NaNo officially begins, I think I’ll outline a bit so that I can have a guideline for where I’m going 🙂 By the way, do you know how to edit your current word count in NaNo? It says I’ve written 0 words and I didn’t know if I could update that to my current word count
-
Oh yes, if it is your April NaNo Project, it already has its dates set in it to begin on April 1st. So you won’t be able to update until then your word count on that specific project until then.
But you can start another project under another title as a secondary project (since it will only allow one official NaNo project at a time). And then,…[Read more] -
Oh, that makes sense! And thanks for the idea! I was thinking about adjusting the word count goal to make things slightly easier, but nope–I’m going for 50,000 all the way 🙂 And I guess I could just update the current word count on April 1st…

Yes, the only thing I love more than making long rambles about my characters is hearing long rambles about other writers’ characters! No seriously, I love hearing them and your characters are the best to listen about:)
*Chuckles* That’s so funny about Newton, I can name a few of my characters who would absolutely detest being…[Read more] -

Thank you, Issa! (Btw, sorry for not tagging you. I kind of thought since this had its own topic, it’d be easier to find. But if you want me to tag you, I can:)

The “I Dare You To Share…” sounds incredible!! 😀 But when I tried to open the topic, it says that the page couldn’t be found:( Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

Yeah, I had the same problem. The first time I opened it, it worked but when I went back after reading Grace’s story it said it couldn’t be found.

Hmm, I didn’t see my post show up here. Did you get it? If not, that’s okay because I can re-post. I just wanted to make sure so you didn’t get it twice:)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 😀 Aw, that means a lot, (yeah I know, my family is probably going out of their minds listening to all my detailed plot twists and character personalities XD ).
Oh my goodness! I’m literally on the verge of happy/fangirly tears at the thought of Newton and Caira’s reactions. Newton is just so adorable, ah, I…[Read more]

Thank you! (I was worried it wasn’t all that great, so I’m super glad that you liked it!:) I think it portrayed their personalities pretty well. Mejia usually isn’t surprised by much or at least doesn’t act like it. And sure! I’d love to

Haha:) No, I don’t think that’s bad at all, (that was one of the things that made me love Anton so much too XD

That’s alright, I don’t think it was duplicated.
Yep, I am just grateful that I’m safely on this side of the pen/screen from my characters XDThank you:) Yeah, I’ve talked about him a little here and there before, but this is the first time I referenced the squirrels XD Though I haven’t officially decided about how the scene will…[Read more]

Abigail.M. replied to the topic Writing Descriptions in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 1 month ago
Hi Natalie!
I definitely understand struggling to write descriptions. But I think I can help a little with the “show, don’t tell” advice that everyone gives us writers. It means that instead of saying, “she looked at the blue lake and liked it”, say “she admired the lake’s glittering, blue surface.”
Or instead of, “he was strange,” say…[Read more] -
Abigail.M. replied to the topic What's Been A Foundational Book For You? in the forum Book Discussions 5 years, 1 month ago
Hmm, for me personally a great book that I believe counts in this topic is by Charles. J. Sykes, “50 Rules Kids Won’t Learn In School.” Since I’m not really a fan of non-fiction or life books, I didn’t expect to like it and there are probably a lot of people who will disagree with me when I say how great it is, (I mean the…[Read more]

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad that you liked Mejia:) That makes me grin like *holds hands up* this huge! She is definitely something else, (in fact TSW’s cast is something else if I come to think about it. Mainly because they’re my only WIP cast that doesn’t want to imprison me for being their author. Which is strange because I…[Read more]
