@overcomer Thanks. *bites into cake. Yummy* Oh goody I love birthdays. *scrunches up eyes, clasps hands and makes a wish*
And just for your information I actually haven’t written a novella but a novellette. The difference is the words count. A novellette is 7,500-20,000. A novella is 20,000-50,000. And then a novel is 50,000-110,000. Any longer…[Read more]

@overcomer I have nearly finished my first story. It has turned out to be a novellette rather than a short story, but I’m making it still count. Yes, I realized after I had decided to to it, that it is a tall goal, but even if I don’t succeed, I will have at least tried my best. 🙂

Good work with your project though. 🙂

Thanks, @hannah-c ! Good luck to you too.

So far, I’ve written 1,544 words. Writing has been kinda slow since I still need to finish organizing my notes and read over my prewriting before I can really go forward with it, but I should have that finished within the next couple of days.

How are things going with the rest of you and your…[Read more]

That’s a tall goal, @bluejay ! Have fun with that. 🙂

Fantasy is lovely to write, @winter-rose . I use it as my excuse to daydream more. 🙂

Wow, @anna-brie ! I completely forgot that not everybody on here is enjoying the first-fruits of Summer. Well, I like your not-so-Summery goals! Congratulations on finishing your first draft, and good…[Read more]

Yay! Ice creams. Brilliant.

Thanks for the rootbeer @Daeus. I just have to be careful not to sneeze or my entire nasal cavity is going to get burnt to a crisp by the bubbles. 😉

812. Wow, we were all rather close. *grins happily.* @kate-flournoy @daeus

Aw, man! You just beat me! 😉

@Daeus

804 words edited @Daeus @bluejay. What did you guys get?

*echoes @kate-flournoy* Right-o @daeus

Right-o.

Okay! Tag me when you’re both ready. @daeus @kate-flournoy

Okay! Tag me when you’re both ready.

Actually @bluejay I’ve got a few more things to do yet, so I’ll probably start when @Daeus does.

@daeus Okay! @kate-flournoy, do you want to start now?

@Daeus tag me when you’re ready.

@Daeus Oooo, I like that one! I’m not committing to any title yet, but that is one I’ll definitely be keeping in mind.

Good idea, @daeus Annnnnd, I’m going to do it here just because.

@gretald

Yep. They did. 😉 But anyway.
Weeeelll…The Lord of the Rings; North and South; Rolf and the Viking Bow; to name a few. 🙂

Wow @Hope, I have to use my mouth? Oh boy. *starts looking around for a notebook and pen* I need to write all this awesome advice down before I forget any of it! 😉

Okay, so another thought having to do with this topic. (Which by the way is highly intuitive— I apologize to those of you who are more structurally minded. I know it can be kinda…[Read more]
