Yep!!!! I’m on right now!!!!!!!!!!1

I thought I’d revive this neglected thread, because it looked like it was starting to collect dust. How is everyone (and all WIPs) doing? Looking forward to New Years? Doing any New Years writing? I did some yesterday, but now I feel like banging my head on my desk for ideas… ah, the struggles…

@devastate-lasting

Caira would rather have six arms (her magic is conducted through her hands, so that’d come in handy in combat…

@abigail-m

Hmm… tough one! She’d probably communicate with the weather, though

Would your character rather be able to breathe underwater or fly?

That sounds like a super effective method, @abigail-m! That seems like a good approach to writing dialogue if it feels like you’re the one talking with them rather than other characters… I’ll give that a shot! And that quote is very helpful (I’m a fan of writing quotes)! And true, I try to incorporate plenty of action in the midst of dialogue, b…[Read more]

Greetings,

I very much quite liked The Narnia books, what is your favorite and least favorite books in the series?

My favorite is the Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe and my least favorite is the Magician’s Nephew. That isn’t to say it was bad. Just. If I had to choose one, that would be it.

If you would like to know my personal favorite (and…[Read more]

Oh, what a coincidence. My characters as well. Our characters have something in common, then. 😀

Okay, new joke of the day,

So there’s a duck and everyone thinks this duck is the best novel writer to ever exist. BUT there’s another duck and everyone thinks IT’S the best novel writer to ever exist. Ya know what they call that? 

A paraducks.

@writerlexi1216
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oooh, that’d be AWESOME for you to read it!!!!!!!!! I’m not sure how that’d work yet, though!!!

@nova21

It really depends on the agent. I know some who’ll respond to query letters in three weeks and some who takes three months. And then there are those who don’t respond at all. And that’s just…[Read more]

@Gracie J.

My WIP has actually been smooth sailing today! I’ve gotten a lot written and edited, so I’m hyped about it for the time being! My current word count is probably around 16,000 words, but I have a tendency to edit every scene once I finish it, so that slows me down a bit. I’ve hit a little bump in the road, though, trying to figure out…[Read more]

That’s great, Issabelle!!!!!! It’s a super awesome feeling to finish a book, so congrats and best of luck!!! I’d love to read it if you don’t mind! It sounds really interesting! 🙂 It makes me more motivated to finish my own WIP when I read other people finishing theirs!

Thanks for the help, you guys!!! This is a huge problem for me in my writing, so I’m open to any good advice!! I’ll definitely try to be more aware of real-life conversations from now on, and talking out loud would probably help me a lot!! I get what you mean about slang, though–most of my characters are young (15ish), so it would make sense to…[Read more]

@nova21  @gracie-j

It’s going pretty good for me! I had finished up my final drafts and edits for my main WIP, Into the Lamp, a couple weeks ago and have submitted to one literary agents already. *fingers-crossed* And I’ve already started doing a bit of plotting for my next novel!!!!

@e-k-seaver
I’m SUPER glad I could help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmmm….I don’t really know of anything like that, sadly. I think that’s one of the things that sets wattpad apart from other writing sites. What I do is publish chapters of one of my stories on my blog and ask for my readers to give feedback in the comments. There’s a suggestion. Sorry…[Read more]
