@kathleenramm I’m actually quite similar to you, Kathleen. When I first started writing I learnt about theme and I was like, “Eh. I just want to write things that people will enjoy.” But now I want to write things that people will think about for a long time.

@godlyfantasy12 Sure thing.

The great gods of the wind surrounded her, for she had violated the order of the sacred plains.

@_delta-leigh_ Hiya, welcome to the Kingdom!

Your hobbies all sound really interesting. I also enjoy music, and if I had more time, there would be a lot of other things I’d like to do for fun. Alas, I don’t.

I see that most here have already covered the usual bulk of questions, so…

Do you mind sharing anything about your WIP? Anything about the world?

@_delta-leigh_

Hey there! You sound like a fascinating person! I’d love to hear more about your mechanical engineering and your woodworking? What sort of things do you make? I really want to get into leather working but I’ve never tried doing any sort of woodwork. and bookbinding obviously sounds awesome!

Who are some of your favourite authors?

@kathleenramm Nice; I use Google docs a lot as well.

@gracie-j I just downloaded LibreOffice, and am excited to try it out! I also downloaded Quoll Writer; it seems very close to a free alternative to Scrivener. Thanks for the suggestion!

@gracie-j

What’s your blog’s name?

Kind of… 😛  I opened one up a while back and wrote a few posts but I’m terrible with consistency and dropped off from it.  Lately I’ve been thinking of trying again, maybe putting up some of the scenes or songs from the mini musical I wrote for my little sisters, or publishing some of my poems, but I just n…[Read more]

@gracie-j

It’s pretty good so far. 🙂  I’m only about halfway through it.  (Sorry, Jen…so slow, I know. 😛 )

😀 What’s the topic you’re working on?

@gracie-j

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.

@devestate-lasting

I used Microsoft Word for years. I eventually stopped using it because, turns out, Word doesn’t like 100,000 plus words, which is fair. It’s still a great program and I use it for writing articles, short stories and essays.

For my novels, I now use Scrivener. Like Jenna said, it’s not free but it’s 100% worth the money, and…[Read more]
