Oh, it’s totally fine!!! 🙂 The scene is a slow one (which sometimes are much harder than fast-paced ones), basically of my four central characters trying to devise a plan, which involves a lot of dialogue (which is also difficult). But hopefully I’ll be feeling more inspired later on 🙂
Yeah! I mainly like jogging as my go-to exercise…[Read more]

Hey, girl!!! Writing has been… a little slow recently, but mostly since I don’t exactly know how to write the scene I’m currently on (which is why I’ve been distracting myself and making collages lol). But I’m hoping to get some done later on tonight!! And kudos to you for writing that much! *high-fives*
Oooh, another workout/yoga fan?…[Read more]

@lucy Hello and welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s so very nice to meet you. Would you care for a virtual cup of tea? I’m particularly partial to Wild Berry Zinger at the moment.
The War of the Two Worlds sounds so interesting!! How long have you been working on it? I’m also a fantasy fiction lover, so I can tell we’re going…[Read more]

Elizabeth replied to the topic Inspirational nonfiction books for teens? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 2 months ago
@joy-caroline What an excellent question! Are you thinking of picking up a nonfiction project? Because that would be so cool 😀
Thinking back to when I was a teenÂ
(wow that makes me sound old), I wish I would have found more encouragement-heavy inspirational books. Like, the encouragement that one is loved and known by God, etc., if that makes sense. -

Aww, thank you!! 🙂 I actually just changed it not too long ago! Yeah, I thought it was one of the most relatable writing quotes I’ve ever seen, so I wanted to share it 😀
Oh, and by the way, I know you sent me the first chapter of TAS a while back, and I haven’t forgotten about reading it! I’ve been swamped with school and other…[Read more]

Alexa Autorski replied to the topic I can’t figure out some cool names for my character! in the forum Characters 5 years, 2 months ago
Okay, so what about:
Arik, Elidor, Breccan, Soren, Eliezer, Olyn, and Theron
I’m not sure if that helps, but I’d totally check out Nameberry! It’s a baby name site that I use for my characters, and it has plenty of filters for unique names. Good luck, and happy writing! 🙂

Alexa Autorski replied to the topic Favorite Lines of Dialogue from your WIP? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 2 months ago
That’s neat! (Not about the plotting shambles). Yikes, I feel for you there. Plotting can be… difficult, so I wish you luck. And hey, I’d be honored to read your work! I think your ideas sound super gripping. I’ll be on the lookout for the short stories, then! 🙂 And no problem!

Alexa Autorski replied to the topic Favorite Lines of Dialogue from your WIP? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 2 months ago
Dude, these are AWESOME!!! And those character names are 10/10. I’d love to read some of your writing sometime! 🙂 Which WIP do these quotes come from??

Alexa Autorski replied to the topic Fortitude: Chapter Two Reading Request in the forum Novel Critique Requests 5 years, 2 months ago
Thank you so much for the feedback!!! The comments you gave were immensely helpful, and thank you for taking the time to read through my, er, lengthy chapters 🙂 Yay, I’m glad Caira was interesting, and I’m even more glad you were hooked!!!! *wipes sweat off forehead* And I’m also glad you thought the pacing was good. Thank you!!!

Hi, Lucy!! (I don’t believe we’ve met. I’m Lexi, by the way!!) I’d love to help (because finding the proper character names is something that I adore doing). Before I can help, mind telling me the genre you’re writing and what time period this is? And maybe even the character’s personality a bit?
