I’m doing great.

Trying to finish reading Jen’s book as fast as possible since I’m late getting back to her. 😉

What about you?

@gracie-j

Hey there!  How’s it going?

@godlyfantasy12 Then disregard everything that I’ve just said.

Oh, to have graduated…literally counting down the days…

@godlyfantasy12 If you’re not in high school yet run while you can, kid…. Jk, jk. But enjoy your lasting time while you can.

@godlyfantasy12 The term of “free time” is right now on another plane of existence from me…it’s be so long…so many years…

@godlyfantasy12 Oh…to have free time…and a wii….

@godlyfantasy12 That sounds great! I just finished four pages in my WIP, and now I am going to be finishing homework.

@godlyfantasy12 Me? Since I have a tight writing schedule, I think, “Ah, I’m very excited that by this time next year, I’ll hopefully be writing ‘this’. Also stuff like, ‘If I don’t finish this now, then I can’t get to that.'”

@gracie-j Excellent points, Grace. Thank you for it. I get what you’re saying now, and it makes everything a lot clearer.

Though, after thinking about this a while, I remember something a very smart teacher of mine said once. When asked how what he thought about swearing, he said that he usually considered about if this would hurt the person that he would say it in front of. I don’t really remember the whole conversation, but I do remember one of my classmates saying…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 OOH! That is very interesting!

@gracie-j I’ll be sure to check out LibreOffice, thank you!

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll probably look for a free alternative for Scrivener, because I have heard a lot of good things about it.

1. Overboard.

That’s too many ideas. No, no, stop. Why did you…stop getting new ideas. No. Stop. Why…why are you….why do you plan such extravagant things….

2. Scheduled.

Everything is carefully scheduled from the first day of the year to the last. Every project’s words are calculated, everything is plan…for one project.…[Read more]

@gracie-j Exactly!

@gracie-j YES, I totally agree! It takes away from the story…

@gracie-j Personally, I don’t feel comfortable reading or writing books with curse words in them (but I’m usually fine with things like “crap” or something). I understand some authors writing for the secular market might use curse words, maybe for a specific character that it seems fitting for; I guess it’s just up to the individual to figure out…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting I would recommend Scrivener, but that’s not a free software. Hmm…I use Google Docs quite a bit as well, which has worked out pretty well.

@seekjustice  Good to see you!! Hey, I’ve only read two as well. 😉 How was Time to Die? I would like to read that in the near future.

@gracie-j This is quite the touchy subject among Christians. So things I’ve noticed about myself: I really don’t like it when authors overuse cussing in books, but I’m more ok if it’s a manga or Webtoon or something like that (probably because I’m too distracted by the images to really take in the words). I guess part of the reason why I gave up…[Read more]
