@godlyfantasy12

@nova21 @devastate-lasting @daisy-torres @lewilliams @elfwing @joy-caroline

Oh my goodness, all of you have been so sweet and super helpful!!! Thank y’all so much for the advice, it’s really helped me figure out the next steps to overcoming burnout and I feel SO much better now. *sighs of relief* Thank you guys so much, you’re the best! I’ve…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Ah, writer’s burnout… It’s such fun, isn’t it? :)))

As for my experiences with the subject: I went through a ~3-year period where I barely wrote at all, and am actually currently in the midst of somewhat of a dry spell. As such, a  lot of what I’m about to say is advice that was given to me (much of which was said by your broth…[Read more]

@nova21 Ooh I love this! (And your lines of dialogue!)

Here’s mine for Horace, one of my MCs who is a magic-lawyer on good days and a control freak on bad ones. 😛

1) “Enjoying the view?”

2) “I’m sure.” [action tag] “Something on your mind?”

3) “My apologies then,” [action tag] “You just seem rather—“

Yeah. Dealing with his moody teenaged comp…[Read more]

@nova21

Ooh, interesting! I think that dialogue fits super well for Dylan, especially since the lines are short. That goes well with his strong-willed personality, in my opinion! As for mine… they’re kinda short, so… XD

MC is Felicity, who is (also) strong-willed, stubborn, and tough, though she’s secretly quite caring.

1) “Huh.” (I know,…

@abigail-m

Oh my goodness, that’s a brilliant idea!!! I may do that, thank you!!! Sometimes even just writing about having writer’s burnout is super helpful, so that’s a great idea! 😀 And *gasps* aww, thank you so much! That seriously warms my heart to the fullest to know you were thrilled about that! *tears up* Oh my gosh, that’s the SWE…[Read more]

@lewilliams

*waves* Hullo! Things have been going well, though I haven’t done much writing as of late because I’m pretty sure I’ve hit writer’s burnout *awkward smile*. But I’ve been outlining both Echoes of Destiny, a possible romance novella idea, AND the second book of my series, Last of Her Kind, so that’s been interesting. 😉 I’ve been sk…[Read more]

*pokes head into topic*

I know I’m a bit late to the topic, but I wanted to see how everyone is doing! How is writing going? How is life? Personally, I haven’t been doing much writing lately, but I have started playing Skyward Sword HD, which is basically the same thing, right? @scripter-of-kingdoms @seekjustice @devastate-lasting @godlyfantasy12…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Dobro pozhalovat! (Did I get that right?) That’s so interesting, I’ve always found such an interest in Russian (and once thought about learning the language)! 😀 Awwh, don’t feel bad! I know my reply is WAY later than usual *checks calendar* (yikes, it’s nearly been a month?), so my sincerest apologies for that!! 🙁 (Things have been s…[Read more]

@ben-dykes Hello and welcome to Kingdom Pen! We’re very glad to have you here. I love your profile picture, by the way; it’s very cool. As for advice, I would echo what Lin said. There are a few threads where people gather just to chat; the Writer’s Corner, for example, as well as the WIP Chat thread tend to be helpful. If you have any questions,…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Eyyy, that looks AMAZING, girl!!! *claps* *throws confetti everywhere* Congrats on getting your blog up and running, that’s a huge accomplishment!!! 😀 😀 😀

@joy-caroline Well, you’re talking to someone whose current WIP has three different perspectives, and I write in first person, so… #sendhelp

I think that adding another perspective to TAS would be lovely!! I love the freedom that the multiple-perspective-style brings, and that I get to explore the story from three different angles. My biggest…[Read more]
