@joycaroline Lol, I also hate comic sans, but I’m that weird writer who will occasionally use it when I’m writing. There’s just something about it that’s so unassuming and easy to read (especially if I’m trying to proofread something, particularly essays) that it takes the pressure off and helps me get words on the page if I’m stuck. That being…[Read more]

@madelyn

Hmm… for chapter headings, Cinzel Decorative is nice, Chanticleer Roman NF is also pretty-looking, Herculanum is quirky, and Aniron is good for medieval-styled stories, in my opinion. I’d highly recommend FontSpace if you’re looking for new fonts! You can even type in “Chapter One” and see what it looks like. 🙂

@issawriter7

That’s a great word count, girl!!! Thank YOU for sprinting with me!!! 😀

@issawriter7

Great! 🙂

@daisy-torres @mkfairygirl @issawriter7 @nanisnook @scripter-of-kingdoms

Any of y’all up for sprinting? Imma start at :15 and probably go until :00! Feel free to jump in! 🙂

@nova21

I LOVE this topic, by the way!!! It’s so fun!!! By the way, how do you make those quizzes? I’d be super interested to make one for my characters as well!! (Also, I love that playlist! Def added some of the songs to my own! 😉 )

Unfortunately I don’t use Spotify so I don’t think it’ll let me share my playlist… *sighs*

@jenwriter17

CONGRATULATIONS on publishing Ignite, Jenna! *high-fives* *pulls out confetti and throws it everywhere* *hands you chocolate* I’m so looking forward to reading it!!! I read the summary for it and WOW, it sounds so interesting! 😀 Would you mind if I asked who designed your cover, because it’s GORGEOUS! I’m so happy for you!!! <333…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

OH. I can’t tell you how many times changing fonts has saved my writing life and helped me fight through writer’s block. I don’t know what it is, but it’s pure magic. Some of my favorites are…

1. Iowan Old Style (found on Scrivener)

2. Cutive

3. Bitter (weird name for a font but I like the choppy style)

4. Spectral

5. Nanum…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Thank you so much for your input! That’s very interesting! 🙂 (Also, I had no idea you’ve published three picture books! Girl, that’s amazing!) <333

@daisy-torres

Seriously? I’m not the ONLY one who suffers from people forgetting their name? *sighs* Thankfully, no (probably because it would be too confusing XD). I cannot tell you how…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

No no, you’re totally fine!! XD Trust me, I know tags can be a hassle (if they aren’t eaten first) XD

@devastate-lasting

I agree, your profile pic is really cool! I’ve never heard of Picrew…

@daisy-torres

YAY, I’ll totally check this out, girl!!! <3 That’s AWESOME! I’ve seen it on Goodreads and I thought it looked incredibly interesting, so this will be super fun to read!! 😀

@daisy-torres

A Scottish name? *gasps* YES. Those are the best! This is making me quite curious what your name is now, btw XD You would not BELIEVE how many people mispronounce my name, though. Most people think I’m either ‘Alexia’ or ‘Alexis’ and it drives me nuts. XD

@anatra23

I’m fixing your tag because I got it wrong (and it’ll probably disappear on me if I try to edit). Sorry about that!

@anatra

*crickets chirping* *peeps head around corner, decked out in retro clothes and light-up boots that totally aren’t in style anymore*

Eh, could I jump into this? I didn’t think invitations were needed… Anyways, uh, I’ll introduce myself as well! My name is Alexa, though most folk ’round here know me as Lexi. Either is fine by me. Oh,…[Read more]

I don’t want to see this writer’s corner bite the dust like the last one, so I figured I’d see if any of y’all were around to chat. How’s everybody’s WIPs doing?

@issawriter7

So sorry it’s taken me this long to reply! *facepalms* I’m honestly so forgetful about these things! Anyways, girl that was SO helpful, thank you! That really helped me figure out what the climax is supposed to look like and how to properly heighten the tension!!! And THANK YOU for that article!!! <333

@nova21

Thank you so much for your input!! I’m totally thinking about coming up with one!! <33

@ariel-f

Thank you! That was very helpful and duly noted! 🙂

@seekjustice

I couldn’t agree more! I never thought about it being more ‘accepted’ in some areas of writing as opposed to others… Thanks, Chelsea!:)

@joy-caroline

First of all, YAY!!! I am so excited for you about starting a new novel, and that summary sounds so interesting!!! *high-fives* Secondly, *rubs hands together*, I’m chock-full of tips about fantasy writing, so let’s get into it.

#1 Read (and study) fantasy. When you’re looking to explore a new genre of writing, the first and f…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Ehehe, am I totally stalking this topic because I’ve had (and continue to have at this very moment) the very similar debate in my head about whether to use initials or my middle name? I’ll never tell. 😛

Anyway, I don’t have much to add, except to suggest just playing around with it. Add your name to some mockup covers of your…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Wait, it isn’t? *adjusts monocle and leans in to squint at screen* Interesting! (I mean, I just changed my internet name to Alexa ‘Autorski’ because why not have a fake Polish name? XD) Ahh, that makes sense! I didn’t think of that, that maybe readers would remember me better. That’s very helpful to know, thank you! I appreciate the…[Read more]
