Ooh that’s tricky. Are you finding it hard to come up with subplots or just integrate them into the main plot?

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner 01 in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 10 months ago
I definitely understand. Second drafts are so hard. What in particular are you struggling with?

That’s really good to hear. I’m going to add them to my Goodreads right now 😀
Hopefully it will be intriguing. I pantsed the whole thing (which IÂ do not do) so its not in great shape at the moment but at least the first draft is done and I’ve got something to work with. The half-elf is awesome. Definitely one of my favourite characters…[Read more]

I’ll definitely look into her then! I enjoy books like that if they’re well written 😀
Thank you! The one I just finished is a dark(ish) fantasy thriller about two brothers, who may or may not hate each other, who have to uncover an ancient conspiracy with the help of an immortal half-elf. The one I’m working on plotting at the moment is a…[Read more]

Ooh, I’ve heard of Tessa Afshar but I’ve never read any of her books. What are some of her plots about?
I’ve read some really good books lately, mostly non-fiction and adult historical fiction! My writing’s been pretty good too. I finished another novel a couple of days ago which was really good and I’ve got plans to start another one very soon.

@alia not too bad at all. Very tired from all the crazy holidays, but doing very well. How about you? Read any good books or written anything lately?

Oh yes! We’re going to have to get together – with @jenwriter17 too – sometime once you’re here. What are you planning on studying?
Visiting with family is really great. 🙂 I’m sure being an aunt is awesome. My brother and sister-in-law live next door, and they’re going to have a baby in the spring, so we’re terribly excited about tha…[Read more]

Kathleen started the topic Today I read… in the forum Book Discussions 3 years, 11 months ago
So as you’ve probably heard a million times by authors, is the importance of reading as a writer. But I’ve actually have learned way more about writing by talking about books I’ve read than actually reading the book. And besides, talking about books is probably one of a writer’s favorite things to do, even without all the benefits of improving…[Read more]

@lewilliams This is such a cool idea! But, sadly, I am taking a break from writing for a bit to avoid burnout after all I did during the year. But I’ll tag a bunch more people for ya 🙂

@godlyfantasy12
Wow, this is a super cool idea! But I seem to be in the same boat as Linyang; I think I’m too busy to really participate in this, but I’ll definitely tag a bunch of people 🙂 …@seekjustice @rochellaine @gracie-j @kathleenramm @ariel-ashira @alia @valtmy @everyone (To those I’ve tagged: feel free to tag more!)

@alia The most recent musical I saw was The Greatest Showman (the soundtrack is surprisingly motivating!). I’m always on the lookout for good musical recommendations. 😉 I remember watching Newsies and thinking “wow I am exhausted just watching these dance routines.” XD
@gracie-j It was actually kind of out-of-the-blue (aka God’s timing 😉 ).…[Read more]

@alia Sorry it took me so long to respond! I got lost in my story. 🙂
Yup, I did! Her feedback was so great! I’m so glad professional editors exist lol XD
Watch any good musicals lately?

@alia That sounds like an interesting combination!

@alia Yup, I’m working on Ignite. 🙂 It’s going to be a different document that I’m going to send beta readers. Frantically trying to finish these edits in time to send it out to the beta reading team on Monday. XD
Ooh, I LOVE that first page! So much conflict already and it’s so gripping!

@alia I’ll be around for a bit, also open to chatting about anything. 🙂
