I hate having to say this because I just began the daily writing quotes, but I most likely won’t be able be able to post the daily quote for about three days. (Turns out, when you go into the wilderness, you don’t get internet connection;)

But for anyone who reads the daily quote, I’m posting three here and hopefully I’ll be able to get on trac…[Read more]

Thanks:)

(It’s one of my favorites).

Oh and btw, I completely understand about writing a first chapter that seems awful. I’m rewriting my novel and I’m basically starting from the second chapter, because every time I attempt chapter #1, it always comes out terrible.

@nova21

Your first chapter outline is extremely interesting!
Kingdom Pen has a really great article that has helped me a lot and covers just about everything on first chapters that I can think of:

Yes, Norway and Russia is a fantastic places for settings, (I haven’t done Norway yet myself). I’m no professor, but if you ever have any questions about ancient Russia, I might be able to help.

With WIPs, I usually have one that is my main focus (where I put all my resources, researching, energy, etc into) then I have a few that I work on when I need a break from my main WIP. This method might not be for everyone, but it’s worked very well so far.

Welcome to Kingdom Pen! It’s great to have another KeePer here:) I’ll have to check out Scribble Society, it’s hard to find good writing resources, but if your looking to finish a first draft, NaNoWriMo has a great method.

Welcome:)

@KeePers

Bulletin:

(Ooh I love that, it sounds so official) I plan on posting a daily (or weekly) writing quote here.

If that sounds like an annoyance, speak up now because you probably won’t be able to stop me once I start rolling;)

Temporary disclaimer: My internet connection will be on and off for the next week, so the times that I post will vary.

@KeePers

It looks like I had a lot of catch up reading to do on this discussion, but anyway (better late than never). CONGRATULATIONS!

And the themes heavily revolve around: survival, endurance, hope, good wins over evil and person vs. nature.

My WIP follows the story of a young woman warrior (sixteen yrs), but since they didn’t invent the word ‘teenager’ until 1944, I’m stuck with the word ‘young.’  Ah well, anyway, the setting is in a winter, nomadic forest and I haven’t come up with a main plot yet, but at least I finished the first draft:)
