@freedomwriter76 @folith-feolin @acancello @highscribeofaetherium I love quotes! I have a entire journal dedicated to them, and I might even add some of the ones you shared to it.

Ok, so I’ve struggled with pacing before, and I’ve discovered a few things to help me out.

First of all, don’t worry about pacing too much when you’re writing your first draft. It’s great if you can get some good pacing on your first draft, but if you don’t, don’t panic. Drafts are there for a reason. 😉 But there are things you ca…[Read more]

If you’re using google docs one thing that may be helpful for you to keep track of book length is to enable word count and set it so that it is permanently shown on your screen.

Another thing you can do is change the page size (in page setup) so that it is either 5.5 x 8.5 or 6 x 9 (in inches) as these are the standard page sizes f…[Read more]

Freedom is right about page and word counts. I would say, however, don’t worry about rushing. There’s no such thing as writing too fast.

You can always edit it later, but getting it…[Read more]

Jean,
We have lots of lights here, too. I have never heard of America; my father says it sounds even more foreign than Hebel. Omri – curse the Pale, but bless him – could not find it on any map. It must be so far, that you live upside down.
Green and…[Read more]

Jean,
Oh… I know what green is, and I know what leaves are. But some of those things I do not know. Trees must be beautiful. Are they like our silk, weaved together?
My home is like a beehive, or a tent filled with different-colored honey jars – that…[Read more]

@acancello

because throughout my series my charries travel, so if they ever wrote letters it would probably be to just vent or help them feel like their feelings are being known, but they wouldn’t be writing to anyone in particular.

It would just be…[Read more]
