That’s a really good question… As much as I want to write full-time (which is pretty much what I do now), I think having other jobs is a good way to gain experience in different areas.

@rochellaine

Thank you! Oh wow, a country song? I’m intrigued. 😀 That’s awesome that you’re getting back into writing again! Yup, I’m working on my sequel. I made some pretty good progress yesterday. 🙂 Abbie Emmons is hosting a virtual ‘writing retreat’ during June with writing livestreams every Wednesday, if you’re interested.

AHH WELCOME BACK @rochellaine!!!!! Seeing your post pop up in my emails made me smile! 😀 Thanks for the congratulations! It’s been a hectic journey but I’m so excited about the book. 🙂 But enough about me, I wanna hear how YOU have been lately. <3

@godlyfantasy12

I REALLY like your tag lines! The synopsis is good too; my one suggestion would be to briefly mention why the main character and her friend are being sent off to this circus land. But great job! 😀

Sometimes this happens to me when I’m working on a more slow-paced story. But I try to remember that if the plot points are big changes for the protagonist and move the plot forward, then they’re important, even if they might not seem exciting. 🙂

I’m so glad you liked them, @nanisnook ! <3

@mkfairygirl You’re so welcome, Katherine! <3 Glad you like them!

I’ve written a couple blog posts I think might encourage you 🙂

5 Thoughts Writers Need to Stop Thinking

@godlyfantasy12 This is a great idea! 😀 I absolutely love using worksheets for my creative process!

@joy-caroline

I can’t remember where I heard this, but this came to mind: “God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.” God gave you that story idea. He must want it t be told. By you. Just know that He wants to help you, strengthen you, support you. Yes, research is a must, but at some point you just have to let go, take a deep…[Read more]

I definitely think they’re similar enough! 😀

@gracie-j

Word sprints might help. Just set a timer and go without stopping. I don’t know if you use Scrivener, but it has this really cool feature where when you go to full screen typing mode, it has a setting that will only let you see the line that you’re typing (or a couple behind) to stay focused. My drafts are messy, but I just tell myself…[Read more]

@lydia-s That’s so awesome that you want to make writing a career! 😀 That’s so awesome! That’s also what I pursued after high school. I didn’t go to college for it, because I didn’t think that was necessary. I think there are plenty of other resources (books, courses, websites, videos, etc.) that you can learn adequately from without paying as…[Read more]

@nova21 Honestly I’m a huge dreamer too so I have the same problem. XD

@godlyfantasy12

I hear ya! When I feel like that I usually try to remember my WHY. My big goal. WHY am I working on this project? Does it have a message I want people to see? Do I want to prove to myself that I can finish a hard project? Always figure out why you write every story and sometimes remembering that is enough to keep you going.

@devastate-lasting

Thank you very much.

I think I’ll try Spy x Family and Way of the Househusband first (because favorite sounds good to me).

Big thank.
