@alia editing my dystopian sci-fi 😀 / 🙁

@alia

Introducing, the queen of retellings…@seekjustice!!! 😛 I’m sure she’ll have lots of ideas for you 😉

As for me, I can’t say I’ve read a lot of fairytales, so I don’t think I have any suggestions for your retelling. I’ll let you know if I do though! 😀

@rochellaine yeah parent presence sometimes makes us seem younger too 😉

@rochellaine Bye, see ya tonight! 😉

@alia what are you working on?

@alia okey-doke 😉

@jenwriter17 Those are all great ideas!! Thanks. 🙂  I actually remember trying each of them accidentally before, and that they helped a lot, so I’ll be trying them again soon.  Right now I’m taking a break though, so, hope to see you later tonight with @seekjustice 😀

@alia No spoilers!  Okay. 🙂  Second what Jen said about not reading up, sin…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m so glad your wrist is better!!

@jenwriter17 I’ll be praying for you!  I especially get the problem of people thinking I’m younger than I really am. 🙂  Since I’m so little people often call me “cute” or “honey,” especially when I’m out with my dad, and that causes big problems for when I’m trying to do business. 😛  I’ve even had to ask my dad to wait in the car sometimes in or…[Read more]

@alia oh, don’t look at Rochellaine’s and my previous posts then, cuz SPOILER ALERT!

Enjoy it! 😉

@alia *slaps hand over mouth* okay, no spoilers…are you reading the first book?

So, this is a problem I’ve been dealing with off and on for the past several years. Basically, I’m looking in the mirror and feeling disappointed. As some of you may know, I have curly hair. I’ve grown to love it, but there are days when I just don’t know what to do with it. It knots, it frizzes, it doesn’t lay right and it’s so hard to care for.…[Read more]

@rochellaine I see. Something that always seems to get me motivated is to listen to songs that remind me of my WIP or make another a collage, or maybe even take my laptop to a cafe or park to write in a different environment.

@jenwriter17 No, not really writer’s block.  I know what to write.  It’s more lethargy.  I’m not excited about writing.  Usually when that happens I just work on something else for a while, just like I do when I have writer’s block.  But lately I haven’t been excited about writing anything at all.

Theoretically, I’m actually still excited abou…[Read more]

@rochellaine Yeah, distractions are definitely hard to deal with. It doesn’t make it any better that all my writing is done on my laptop. *glares at Pinterest and Youtube* *as I’m listening to music on Youtube* 😛 I know I could try handwriting, but that’s way too slow for me. and with all my other hobbies that use my hands a lot, adding…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Slowly, slowly!  My sister came in a few days ago and said, “I was just thinking, I haven’t read your book in a while, so maybe I can read the new parts now?”  And I said, “There’s nothing new.  I’ve written, like, a few paragraphs.” 🙁  Part of the problem is that I just don’t make myself sit down and write, though.  I get dist…[Read more]

@rochellaine yeah I’m definitely the opposite. 😉 but I have to get it done before July 20th, so having a deadline is kinda giving me the push i need. 🙂

how is your western going?

@jenwriter17 Haha, I’m sorry.  I was telling SeekJustice a couple of days ago that the editing is the easiest part for me.  It’s the writing that’s much harder!  It can take me a couple of hours to edit something that took me several days to write.  Sounds like you have the opposite problem. 😛

@daughteroftheking good idea about the antagonist; i can tend to not put enough work in the antagonist.

She has one best friend (Christy), but since she’s major-super introverted, she doesn’t really have any more. I was thinking of making her bestie the villain, but then it seemed kinda obvious.

I think at first she will hate having the powers,…[Read more]

@rochellaine Yes, poor Zac….was trying not to cry while I’m at my aunt’s house 😉

Editing’s going okay. This is how I’m feeling though:

the book looks so much worse when I go back to edit 🙁

@rochellaine cool ideas! 😀

yes, I agree. God created us all equal and skin color doesn’t make anyone better or worse than someone else. I like your description suggestions. It’s the ‘charcoal skin’ part that people are super sensitive about I think. Skin descriptions that might be just fine people would think offensive. I’m not saying ‘charcoal…[Read more]
