Caira would rather be an amazing singer (she hates the spotlight, so being an actress would be a nightmare), and besides, she likes to sing, but she’s critical of her own voice, so if she could just snap her fingers and be great at singing, she would

Would your character rather hear the good news or bad news first?

I’ll stay around! I’m sitting in a coffee shop right now doing a little writing ^-^ Well, rewriting rather than new writing… *sigh

I’ll be on! (off and on, probably, but still on) It’s a rainy day, so I may drop in from time to time 🙂

How is everyone’s writing coming along? I’m currently taking a break from my WIP, but hoping to get back to it soon. One of my biggest New Year’s resolutions is to finally finish my book *fingers crossed!

@Kathleen

A few characters with great character development come to mind, actually, but since I’m a huge fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender, I have to point the finger at Zuko (and not just Zuko; plenty of other ATLA characters are incredible). Zuko has one of those character arcs that I’m personally a fan of (going from evil to good) and the slow…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Cool!! What’s your WIP about? I’m also in the midst of a fantasy duology, so that’s cool you have an idea for one!

@godlyfantasy12 I’ll be around for a bit! A bit sporadic, perhaps, as I have laundry and dishes to take care of this morning, but hopefully I’ll get some writing in. Ah, the joys of adulthood. 😛 What are you planning on working on?

@godlyfantasy12 Did somebody say…bullet journaling??

I’ve been bullet journaling since ca. June 2019, and oh my goodness it has helped me so much. Like you and @kathleenramm, I love amandarachlee (and may or may not have drawn heavy inspiration from her for my monthly themes, oops).

When it comes to scheduling, my #1 tip would be not to work…[Read more]

I just logged in ^-^

What’s everyone up to? Any writing (or outlining, or whatever else)?

Thanks, guys!

I have so much planned for this story that there’s no way I could fit it into just a single book. I’m thinking it may turn out to be a duology (a trilogy, if I’m brave enough) The first book might be around 90,000 words. I’m not the best at putting my writing ideas into words, so forgive me if I’m a little rusty with blurbs 😀

*round of applause for both of you

That’s some great progress! 111,000 words is incredible, too.

@GodlyFantasy12 I know what you mean about procrastination, though. I usually get so excited about later scenes in my book that I don’t feel like writing the one I’m currently on, so I get stuck in a loop of writing future scenes instead of focusing…[Read more]

Oooh, this thread sounds fun 🙂

I know I’m a little late, but I’ll dive in for a second and ramble about my MC.

*Ahem

My heroine is Caira Watson.

She’s super studious, introverted, (a little bossy), and loves coffee as much as I do. She’s 14 yrs. old, but she’s been conserved in ice for the last 1,000 years ((and because of that, she lost her…[Read more]

I’ll be around! It’s a cozy cold weekend, so I’m happy to talk writing stuff with everybody. How is everyone’s WIP coming along? I’m hoping to write a lot more over Christmas break ^-^

I’ve actually never read those, but they sound gripping, so I may look into reading them! Oh, I know, fantasy is just such a great genre, mostly because you can incorporate so much imagination into it. I’m actually writing my first novel (it might turn into a trilogy) right now. It’s about a girl with special powers, and she’s been prophesied to…[Read more]

@GodlyFantasy12

Great to meet you! *shakes hand and sips coffee

Ooh, I’m a fantasy writer too!! And reader. What are some of your favorite fantasy books? Do you like dragons?
