@aratrea I’ve never used it, but I know there is a large forum called christianwriters.com

I don’t really know of anything else, but I haven’t exactly looked.

@c-c-lane Totally serious.

I don’t think the magic will be too hard to get rid of. The only important thing is that Fernix has some dangerous quality that has started a war and that he needs to learn to control.

You could replace this with any number of things, but the one that I’m thinking of and that I think has a lot of potentials is just a…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I wrote 536. I’m starting a new Ernest the gardener mystery. I think I’ll do a series of them.

@kate-flournoy Ok. Good.

@kate-flournoy I’m kinda late myself, but are you writing tonight?

@C-C-Lane Maybe we should become critique partners. We sound like polar opposites.

As for what to do, you might consider rewriting it instead of just writing a new story. The chances of it turning out well are better since you already know the world and characters so well, and that could even help you fine tune the conflict. I would just…[Read more]

@hannah-c Yes, do. I also do chapter outlines and that really helps because then there’s very little to have writer’s block about.

hmm @sarah-h, that’s a good point, but if so, I think the author could have made that clearer.

@overcomer Let’s see, I’ll try to say something new. First of all, you seem to be doubting your very outline. What makes you so unsure of it?

As for the writing, don’t edit along the way (doing writing corner might help with that) and don’t go back and edit. You can change an idea for what’s going to happen later on, but don’t change anything…[Read more]

@c-c-lane Wow! You hit the nail on the head. Plot is definitely my stronghold. Characters are hit and miss for me and prose something that takes many passes to get right. It’s all getting better though. Just takes time, some degree of planning to the route, and a fierce determination.

@kate-flournoy Forsooth. It doth make my heart sink. I’m…[Read more]

@C-C-Lane Hey, that’s great. That’s about the fastest I can write myself, so it’s a good rate.

Well, I edited over 4,000 words, but that’s not exactly as impressive as it sounds because I had already edited it once and most of it was pretty shallow editing. Only about 375 words were actually edited deeply. I’m very satisfied with my plot, but am often disappointed with my scenes. I’ve fixed some of them, but I am sure it’s going to take a…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Always is. *Presses start button* Gotta go.

@c-c-lane Alright, sweet. I’ll meet you at nine.

@c-c-lane Ok, cool.

Yes, ET is the same as EST.

@c-c-lane I could go for a half an hour right now. If that doesn’t work, I’ll be writing from 8-9 ET tonight (I write at that time pretty much every night except on weekends)

@hope That is very true and in some ways a benefit to the story, but I still have some things against her. Her calmness seems at times to be almost absurd. The calmness makes her seem less human to me, which is of course too bad. What makes it even worse is that when she hears how her father died, she gets all pale, which (although well and good)…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Who hasn’t? But then, I don’t seem to remember that.

Lemon juice. I need some of that right now.

Daaaahhh!!! Kate! You’ll never write four books a year if they’re that long.

@kate-flournoy I got 969 words edited and did some grammatical checks on two chapters.
