Y’know, it would be fun if we had a topic to just post last lines from a writing day…

@elfwing Nice! I love the thought you’ve put into this!

@godlyfantasy12 You’re looking at a person who worldbuilds as she writes. On the other hand, for maps I usually just draw them by hand. So I’m afraid I can’t be of much help, ahhh….

@joy-caroline Mm….years ago, when I first started writing, I got a story idea. But it was on the deeper side, so I decided to let it sit and wait, and only just started writing it now. And I’m glad that I let it wait, even though I had really wanted to start it back then. So in the same way, I suggest you let this story idea sit and wait until…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Great question! And one I personally don’t have the answer to. XD

However, my brother has been making fictional maps for years so he probably has some good advice. I’ll get back to you as soon as I ask him.

@elfwing Those sound awesome! Do you have a favorite?

@abigail-m @nanisnook

Yep! That’s how you put the green line there for quotes! Thanks Abigail!

@iluvhim18

Why do these sorta-kinda-almost work together? I bet there are even more interesting ways to organize each of the sentences into other interesting stories. XD

@kathleenramm Sure, sure. What did I write…uh…

Complete sentence, right.

“Oh? Then who will?”

Lowkey wish it was more interesting, haha…

@devastate-lasting

That’s really smart! Because some weeks are so much different than others, so there’s no point to being disappointed that you didn’t write a much as some other week, especially if there is just so much going on.

@jodi-maile

I know right! I love that you don’t have to be fully committed to the long process of writing a full…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Yeah, I think they’re similar enough. They’re both part of the Christian genre, which I think is broader.

@kathleenramm Ah, short stories are really effective! I have a lot started but I don’t know how short or long they’re gonna be just yet…

Recently, I guess has been more of scheduling things and getting my priorities straight. For the past year I’ve just been falling behind on my writing schedule of 5 pgs a day and ending up having to cram…[Read more]

@gracie-j Glad I could help! Be warned, writing by hand has its disadvantages (namely, typing it all out again) but I do recommend it but as a distraction-free method!

@gracie-j Eyy, thanks for the tag! I’ll just answer your questions one by one.

1. Since I handwrite, my handwriting is so messy that I just ignore whatever I wrote beforehand. Also, writing with pen means I can’t edit or delete.

2. When I’m on computer I try not to do second drafts. Although, I will admit, sometimes I do need second drafts to…[Read more]

@elanor

It’s really cool how you world build! Unfortunately, it’s something I lack a lot when it comes to writing. I’m getting better at is as I go along, but I tend to just focus on everything about characters, metaphors, theme, and all the philosophical stuff of the story. XD Though I absolutely love stories with immersive and complex…[Read more]

@elfwing Whoa, that sounds amazing! Reminds me vaguely of this movie I once watched called Maquia…

Is your main character part of the Silyans?

@ariel-f

Cool! I’ve heard a lot about For King and Country.

Very harsh indeed! But also so interesting. How to you go about writing a story? Like, how do you go from an idea to a finished novel? I’d love to hear you process.

@ariel-f Ah, I’ve been meaning to read some Star Wars books. I have, mainly, one that’s been sitting by my couch for years. The movie adaptions are really good though.

Oh, you should try it sometime! It’s quite good!

Ah, unfortunately I am not talented enough to write such a beautiful lyric. It’s a translation from Kenshi Yonezu’s “Campanella”,…[Read more]

@elfwing Anything you want! Here’s to discussing whatever aspect of your WIP you want to discuss.
