Oooh, I’ll keep reading onward then! I was hoping they stayed good! *thumbs up*

Yes, I know exactly what you’re talking about! When you’ve had a character without a name for so long, and then suddenly you see That Perfect Name and everything just clicks. Ah, takes me back to ye olden days when my MC didn’t have an official name for…[Read more]

@lewilliams

Oooh, I’d be happy to let slip a few secrets! I mean, it is a hate-to-love romance, so there’s tons of tension and room for breaking reader’s hearts along the way *muahaha* Oh, yes, there’s so many limitless opportunities to be cruel to my fictional friends (a few future scenes come to mind)… I feel bad for being so cruel to my cha…[Read more]

@hallie-jean

Wait *leans closer* *squints hard* did I hear you say you were a Percy Jackson fan, too? Neat! So am I. Well, I’m still in the beginning of the series, but I’m still a fan nonetheless. How did you like reading the books? Do they stay good?

Wow, those are really terrific names, by the way! I really like Ocean and Lycan! Also, what a…[Read more]

*also tears up*

The third one is me sooooooo many times XD

@writerlexi1216 YES GIVE ME THE SECRETS I WANT THEM ALLLLLLLLLllllllllllll

*ahem* sorry about that. But yes, I would love to hear more about your charries!! I’m already so fond of them–I’d love to know more!! And yay, I’m glad you’re trying your hand at romance! It’s such fun–I mean, there’s limitless possibilities to be mean to our poor…[Read more]

@kathleen Heh, it was only ~8 pages or so? So I use the term play here very loosely, haha. I wrote it for a screenwriting class I took a couple years back–our first assignment was to take a familiar story and translate it into a script, so I picked that! (I’m actually pretty proud of how it turned out :D) It was quite an enjoyable process, though…[Read more]

@hallie-jean *clinks cup against yours* Cheers!

Whoa, that’s such a neat way to come up with character names!! Now I definitely want to try that. Listening to soundtracks whilst on a road trip is where I’ve come up with several of my story ideas, so I can relate there. : P That’s so cool that you start with characters!! Do you have a favorite n…[Read more]

@hallie-jean

Yeah, no problem! 🙂

@daisy-torres

That looks great! Very well done 🙂

*quietly sits in the corner, loudly munching on popcorn, amusedly watching all the memes* These are high quality memes XD (and some of these are painfully relatable lol)

@abigail-m

I’ll give that a whirl and see what kind of quotes I find! Thank you! I’m one of those people that can be motivated easily by quotes, so this should be a huge motivation boost 🙂

@imwritehere1920

Good, good! Coffee is very good. Oh, yikes! I feel for you there. *cringes just thinking about cringeworthy things* But your book sounds really interesting!! (Coincidentally, my two main characters are siblings as well) Ahaha, that statement couldn’t be more true!

Thanks for the encouragement! I really do appreciate it 🙂 Happy…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Oh my goodness, that was a tremendous help! Thank you so much! I think that’s one of my biggest struggles as a writer, too, thinking that my first draft has to be polished and neat and all that jazz. Which is why it’s hard for me to be content with my writing a lot of times. I’ll give this method a try! I’m sure it’s bound to work!…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Thank you for that quote! (I’ve never seen this quote before? I like it!) It never fails to make me feel better to search through positive writing quotes. And I may try doing that literally… it may help! 🙂

@imwritehere1920

Oh, thank you x 1,000! I’ll totally try doing that! And maybe just stepping away from writing for a little while is what I need. Or what my brain needs, that is. Sure, I’d be happy to send a summary! I’m… sort of bad at writing summaries (and I don’t have an official one), but here’s the basics. It’s a fantasy, so it does have…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms

I’m interested to see his collage then! That’s neat!

Oh.

OH.

I KNOW what you mean, and I don’t know why we writers do the things we do *cries* I have two characters that I *whispers* may or may not like *un-whispers* and one of them has a romance with my MC… Ugh. Isn’t it frustrating?

How’s everybody doing today with writing? Any advice on how to deal with writer’s block? I’ve been trying to start a new chapter (from a different POV) and can’t figure out how to begin it… *sigh*…

@scripter-of-kingdoms

You aren’t the only person in love with their characters, let me tell you XD I love my second main character lol

@scripter-of-kingdoms

I had no idea you were a fan of ATLA too! *proceeds to fangirl* *flees to Pinterest to stare at fan art for hours* That’s so neat! It was about a year ago that my brother introduced me to it (I was hooked on the first episode). Who’s your favorite ATLA character?

This is a terrific thread, too, because I’ve hit writer’s…[Read more]

First of all, all of these are great (the second meme is so relatable it’s painful) *shivers*

Secondly, @hallie-jean, I’ll show you!

You just have to hit the image icon on the grey bar (where the bold/italics/strikethrough is). It’s the furthest icon to the right. Once you select it, hit the folder button, and it should give you an option to…[Read more]
