789 words. It took me a bit to start, but I’ve got another story idea running wild in my head and my fingers can’t keep up. 🙂

Okay! I wait in eager expectation. Until then I shall play around with that idea. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT @kate-flournoy 🙂 🙂 🙂 And I mean REALLY REALLY REALLY loved it. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Great! 🙂

Is anyone writing now? @daeus @kate-flournoy, @hannah-c I’m not sure what I’ll be writing, but if all else fails I will be trying to write a poem.

*Yells for everyone to hear* 9,312 words!!!!!!! It’s finished. (at least the first draft) Still a lot of work to get it to a readable story but….*throws confetti* Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 *Goes back and grabs sundae to celebrate.

(Oh and @kate-flournoy, do you have any more brilliant ideas? Cause if you do, I’m ready for another lot.)

@hope thanks.

@overcomer no problem. Ooh an Epic!?! Good luck. I have only just reach novellettes so I still have a distance to go. 😉 Yes, long books are great, but I still fly through them in one day. Some in half a day.:)

Ah @kate-flournoy. Yes, I see your point.

@hannah-c Wow! I love it. Especially since they are in the sea. 🙂 That’s great. Thank so much.

@hope, that’s okay. 😉

@kate-flournoy, @daeus, and @hope
I definitely agree with you on this. While I do think it is important to have backstories for characters, you can’t include them all. However, while you are developing characters, you do need to have some of their past figured out. For example, say you have a particularly bitter, melancholy character. Why is he or…[Read more]

Writing a book so far is a confusing but fun process. The hardest part for me perhaps is to not overthink everything. I want it all to be perfect, but a perfect first draft is unrealistic, and not a very writer healthy hope …

Goodness, you said it! I struggle with the same thing. I want to make everything perfect in the first draft, and I w…[Read more]

@overcomer I’m wrapping up the planning stage for my novel, and then I’m moving into writing the first draft!

Oh, so if you think it does need a poem, can you please help me write one??? Let me tag a few people so they see this.

@daeus , @hannah-c , @hope , @aella , @anna-brie , @kate-flournoy , @faithdk , @gretald , @rolena-hatfield , @writefury , @spradlin , @sarah-h , @winter-rose , @anyone-else-who-cares-to-help

@overcomer Thanks. *bites into cake. Yummy* Oh goody I love birthdays. *scrunches up eyes, clasps hands and makes a wish*
And just for your information I actually haven’t written a novella but a novellette. The difference is the words count. A novellette is 7,500-20,000. A novella is 20,000-50,000. And then a novel is 50,000-110,000. Any longer…[Read more]

@overcomer I have nearly finished my first story. It has turned out to be a novellette rather than a short story, but I’m making it still count. Yes, I realized after I had decided to to it, that it is a tall goal, but even if I don’t succeed, I will have at least tried my best. 🙂

Good work with your project though. 🙂

Yay! Ice creams. Brilliant.

812. Wow, we were all rather close. *grins happily.* @kate-flournoy @daeus

*echoes @kate-flournoy* Right-o @daeus
