@kathleenramm When I first started writing, I wish I had known that it’s okay to make sloppy first drafts. Trying to make my story great the first time slowed me down and often left me discouraged about my writing.

@e-k-seaver Ahh that’s one that’s on my to be read list XD I’m excited to get that one!!!

@madelyn Thanks for the recs!!! Ahhh I have Story Thieves on my list XD We’re going to the library soon so maybe I’ll get to pick that up!!

*writes everyone’s recommended books down*

@elishavet-pidyon Haha!! How dare Tolkien plagiarize you XD But yesss I totally feel you. It’s so disheartening when things like that happen T_T

@kathleenramm Haha! That story sounds intriguing though. I would have totally loved that when I was younger XD

Sooo, once I wrote a story about a girl that was an orphan during world war 1 (or two?). She lived in the alleys, and one day, while looking for food in the local garbage dump, she discovered a world full of fairies and tiny people that…[Read more]

@power Ahh okay haha. I looked up the Mysterious Benedict Society and it looks interesting! I may have to give it a go anyway, so no harm done XD

@madelyn Haha! I can definitely be the same way with YouTube XD I try to set a time limit for myself so I don’t lose myself in the ‘YouTube spiral’ XD

Dude sameee about being excited by glass/water/smoke/light/stars etc XDD You would like the book I’m working on probably, because I try to play off of ‘aesthetic’ descriptions like those a lot XD…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Haha yeah maybe XD Good luck with your story though!!

@power Okie dokie, I’ll look into those! Thanks a lot!

@devastate-lasting Of course!!! Aww, that’s unfortunate. Have you tried Wattpad? I did that some years back and had a lot of success with it (Sadly, they kept shoving a lot of romance books in my face, so I pulled my books off and deleted my account, but the community aspect of it was a lot of fun, and I connected with a lot of great readers and writers!)

6 years??? I can’ttt. My longest story took me 4 years, and surprisingly, it was a novella XD Later on, I wrote a much longer story that only took me 2 years! (It’s published now, by the way)  I still haven’t figured out why one took so much longer, but I entered Crazy Writing Week with the second, where I wrote like 20k in a week, so that mayyy…[Read more]

@faith-q That is a very good question, and one I’ve asked myself a few times haha.

To answer your question, I would look in the Bible.

Esther defied Haman, who wasn’t a king, but he was apart of the rulership in the monarchy. She played a major role in having him executed.

All throughout the old testament, (which, granted, things are different…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Starting chapter one now!! I LOVE your cover!

Also, (outside of you) I’ve never heard of Tapas before. Do you recommend it for building an audience/getting attention for your books?

@devastate-lasting Haha!! Sure thing, can you name some things?

@issawriter7 Awwweeee you totally just made my week!!! That makes me supperrr excited to hear! Thank youuuu <3 And girllll sameee about the pantsing T_T I am baddd at it, but also I love doing it because not only is it an adventure to read, even I have no clue what’s going on XDD Eeekk I totally will!! And a KP bookshelf sounds fantabulous XD I…[Read more]

@lewilliams Ooo those sound fantastic!! I will totally look into them, thank you so much!!! And yes, NaNo is going fantastic!!! This is my first year to dive in and fully commit, but I’m loving it. I really hit a slump after finishing one of my books, and then things got busy so I never tried pulling myself out. Nano realllyy helped me get better…[Read more]

@issawriter7 Tbh, I haven’t read a ton in that genre either XD I love the creativity the genre has to offer though! (Oo really? I definitely need to get a copy of it. It sounds amazing!!)

Eeek that makes me really happy!! I absolutely have plans to publish! I am only 12 chapters in at the moment, but this story holds such a warm place in my…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

dunno, i’ve never thought about exercising just to see how many pushups i can do lol.  how bout you?? :))  also, i’m starting to get into crossfit, which is kinda fun.

@koshka

Well, if you ever need a beta reader, critique, or anything else in the future, I am always available if you ever want. I hadn’t been critiquing or reading for awhile (very busy) but I’m happy to say that I can once again critique or you know, just give general thoughts or point out flaws and strengths that I see. But that is of cou…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

You’re hilarious XD (100% better than a comedian)  That’s devastating…

Hmm, I guess everyone may or will have different advice for you here, but I’d say the best way to keeping writing and hold onto those protein shakes, is to club your keyboard.

I mean force stuff out of your keys on spare minutes and write fi…[Read more]
