I’m so glad you like her!! She was lots of fun to draw!! Yw!!

Ok, sounds good!!

@acancello

And yours:

I think LoopyLin rubbed off on we with this one lol

I haven’t got anymore requests, so, either of you want another??

@acancello

Sounds great!! You’re welcome!!

@acancello

I think every writer experience this more than once.

I’m not sure what everyone else has said, but here’s what I think.

First, step back and reevaluate some things. Why do you think your writing is terrible? Is it in comparison to somebody else’s, or is your inner editor just screaming out at you to fix everything? Keep in mind that…[Read more]

@acancello @karissa-chmil

I LOVE that quote!! I have that one at the top of my ideas document xD

@acancello

‘Nuff said.

Just kidding. . . but also not. xP The first draft is just the starting point – there’s a quote that says “you can’t edit a blank page”. There will be endless revisions and chances to tighten things up further down the road, but the story needs to exist to be made better. All you have to do right now is get it on the…[Read more]

@acancello I haven’t read others advice yet, but I’m sure it’s great!! But I had to come on and say this: I HAVE BEEN THERE!!!

I’m serious, I’ve been in places where I seriously thought all of my writing sucked, I SHOULDN’T be a writer, I should just give up, etc.

So let me just say: DON’T GIVE UP! We are our own worst critic, trust…[Read more]

@acancello

Could you give me a summary of your WIP plot? Unless you don’t want to ❤ That snippet doesn’t sound too perfect. If it’s a reward for all the struggles the main characters have been going through, that’s really great.

@acancello

I agree with HighScribe, it isn’t going to look good at first, and that’s okay! Seriously okay, no one will be mad at you ❤

But if it’s really bothering you, instead of looking at it as a whole, take one section and ask yourself why or how you should improve.

You mentioned it feeling fake. Why do you feel that way? Can you find…[Read more]

@acancello

Yesss girl it’s just a first draft!! Ally Carter talks about this in her writing book, and compares writing to running a faucet. At first, it’s just dirty water! But the longer you run it, the better it gets.
I agree with @highscribeofaetherium. Don’t worry about it too much for now. If you think something in particular isn’t working,…[Read more]

@acancello

My advice to you is: Keep writing and don’t look back. My writing always feels cringey and bad when I read it. Silence your inner critic until the second draft. Finish the first draft before worrying about editing and all that stuff. As S.D. Smith said, ‘Let it be bad’.

Hope this helps 😊

@acancello

…Have you been watching my every move? O.O

@acancello

Yep. That’s me. 😅

@acancello

lol that second one is so me 🤣🤣

@whalekeeper @acancello @elishavet-pidyon @esther-c @everyone-else-on-here

So, I’ve always had this pet peeve about cliches, including romance cliches. I guess I’m wondering … does anyone have any romantic cliches they can’t stand? Or am I the only one?

@acancello So cute!

@acancello oh yea definitely typing it all up for future drafts lol! I’m just writing the zero draft by hand! Decided to try that out since I kept getting stuck.

also I’ve been writing small-ish to get more words down.

@whalekeeper OOOH!!! I feel like I’ll love him! He sounds just like my kind of Charrie.

So my Cecily is a jester: wears…[Read more]

@acancello

Aww, cute!! 😊

Hi! I-have-no-idea-if-we’ve-met-or-not-although-I-think-we-have-but-maybe-I-just-saw-you-around.

I’m Elishavet around here! (Obviously) I’m flattered to hear you love my little darlings. As were they when I told them.

Yeah, I enjoy romantic subplots when they fit. Mostly I write adventurous tales disturbingly inspired from reality…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 @euodia-vision @whalekeeper @acancello so I’m writing my zero draft…
