HighScribe replied to the topic How many stories/books have you written? in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 8 months ago
What genre do you lean to when writing?
Oop, I didn’t see this question.
I agree with my brother, fantasy and maybe sci-fi. I wouldn’t even have any idea how to write contemporary or historical fiction.

@ellie-wingfeather
Exactly zero. (Unless you count the super cringey ‘Pontoon Boat Catastrophe’ which I wrote when I was seven. It can be found in the ‘what’s the cringiest thing you’ve ever written’ topic) -

@esther-c Hey…I was wondering if you’ve looked at my writing yet? (I’m not trying to nag you or anything XD just wondering if you still wanted to do it?) I know you’re probably busy…but just wondering (:

Heyy! I’m Sara, though most people around here call me…well, they call me Sara. XD
Anyways, I’m a chocolate consuming, emotionally unstable, sleep deprived, algebra loving, public school attending freshman!
Here are some random questions:

Have you ever subconsciously narrated parts of your…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @esther-c @trailblazer
Okay…I think I’m just not good at saying what I mean. Let me try again, haha!
But Esther has a good point of view, that publishers are also looking for well-written material to a degree, because readers like good writing, and therefore good writing will sell. I’m not saying all readers have quality taste, but…

One book that I found interesting is The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein. It’s sci-fi, but it is about a revolution on Luna against Terra, and the parallels are brilliant! I actually have a clearer picture of what it must have been like in some ways in the revolutionary war. Beware, Heinlein is not a Christian. T…[Read more]

So ummm…. There’s a reason they reject you… it’s because your writing’s not good enough (for the most part). So yeahhh… And if you’re going to be a good writer, you have to learn how to deal with rejection. If you can’t, then… I’m sorry. XD Anyway, that’s just what I was thinking during the whole video and I wanted to rant about i…

@esther-c @savannah_grace2009 Hey! I’m really interested in Abbie Emmons after seeing you guys mention her. I’m going to check out her channel, and maybe her book 100 days of sunlight. Have either of you read it?

Oh awesome!! She can have some really helpful stuff, but take it all with a grain of salt, because I feel like not everything she says works for every writer. (Like outlining your entire novel before writing it). But yeah, super helpful stuff. 😊
I’ve been wanting to, but haven’t gotten the chance yet. She has a sequel to that and I believe it’…[Read more]

hybridlore replied to the topic Revolutionary War story idea in the forum Historical 2 years, 8 months ago
I don’t know too much about that time frame, and I haven’t read any books in it that I can think of right now. Also, I have pretty much zero experience writing from male POVs, so I wouldn’t be much help there either, lol. But it does sound like a cool idea, and I would love to read it once you start it!

Hi, nice to meet you! I’m hybridlore or Hybrid, a Christian homeschooler, high school sophomore, and science fiction writer. I also love the Wingfeather Saga, and I’m rereading it right now! 😁 My favorite character is probably Podo, but I like them all xD.

Cole…he’s in 19th Century Roleplay. This was my intro post for him:
Alright…I’m gonna call my Cole from the ashes of my life where he lies, brush him off, and shine his medals.
Cole was my hero as a young child, he did every brave deed I could think up, in a WWII setting. I don’t remember him much, since when I hit the mark of ten or so…

Esther replied to the topic Revolutionary War story idea in the forum Historical 2 years, 8 months ago
Yeah, sometimes it helps to have two POVs, and other times it’s not necessary. I’ve become so accustomed to it though, that when I start coming up with a story idea, my mind naturally creates two POV characters. XD
Glad I could help!!

Oh wait, I just read your most recent draft and I like it even better!! I think it could stay as it is if you like it. 🙃

I like it how it is, tbh. I think it sounds great!
I’m dreaming of a time, when I was broken,
When you comforted me, many a time.
This part though doesn’t flow as smoothly as the rest of it. Um… I wish I could offer a suggestion… Maybe it could go something like this…?

And you comfort my aching h…

Oh my goodness so I just watched one of her videos on why she chose to indie publish her book, and she claimed she wasn’t bashing traditional publishing but… you can tell she’ll never traditionally publish any of her books. 🫤😂 And she was saying that some people will give their manuscript to a publishing company, get rejec…[Read more]

I don’t mind being nagged. XD But yeah, I’ll start reading it this week and try to give you some feedback as soon as I can. 😊
Hey! So I just read the first two chapters of your book. Love it already!! I have some feedback to give, but I was wondering what kind you want. Like, do you want to know things about the characters, plot, prose, setting, etc.? Are there specific questions you want answered? I don’t want to give you feedback that you aren’t looking for. 😉
It really doesn’t matter, haha! Just your overall thoughts! 🙂
Ok, cool 😉
