@gracie-j Glad I could help! Be warned, writing by hand has its disadvantages (namely, typing it all out again) but I do recommend it but as a distraction-free method!

@gracie-j oh and as for how rough a first draft is….

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH……heh….ehhh…

But for real tho. My first draft consisted of some fairly okay scenes, scenes that needed total changes (due to things that changed as I went on), and….uhhh….paragraphs about what the scenes will maybe have in them because I got too lazy to…[Read more]

@gracie-j welp while I’m also a bit of a perfectionist (but also rather lazy) XD, I still think I can help some.

1.

Just do it.
Ya, I know this one is kinda like “DUH”, but honestly this is truly the only way to draft. You just have to get something down. Wether it’s a rough scene idea, terrible dialogue, melodramatic emotions, etc, just ge…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Hehehehe.. well, my friend, you’ve come to the right girl. XD 😉 okay, maybe not really.

Well, I’m just gonna start with answering your questions.

~Well, first off, that’s just really really REALLY hard for me, but it honestly takes me reminding myself over and over and over and OVER again that I’ll come back and edit later, I…[Read more]

@gracie-j Eyy, thanks for the tag! I’ll just answer your questions one by one.

1. Since I handwrite, my handwriting is so messy that I just ignore whatever I wrote beforehand. Also, writing with pen means I can’t edit or delete.

2. When I’m on computer I try not to do second drafts. Although, I will admit, sometimes I do need second drafts to…[Read more]

@elfwing Whoa, that sounds amazing! Reminds me vaguely of this movie I once watched called Maquia…

Is your main character part of the Silyans?

@ariel-f Ah, I’ve been meaning to read some Star Wars books. I have, mainly, one that’s been sitting by my couch for years. The movie adaptions are really good though.

Oh, you should try it sometime! It’s quite good!

Ah, unfortunately I am not talented enough to write such a beautiful lyric. It’s a translation from Kenshi Yonezu’s “Campanella”,…[Read more]

@elfwing Anything you want! Here’s to discussing whatever aspect of your WIP you want to discuss.

@elanor Nice, nice! Glad you’ve picked it back up!

@elanor I’ve been maybe writing 5-6 years? What about you?

Oo, yes, those books are really awesome! I enjoy being taken for a ride where I don’t know what will happen.

@lydia-s Thank you! Found it on Pinterest!

@elanor I play piano and do ballet! I write mainly crime, fantasy, and school life stories.

@elfwing Ey thanks! I’ll take a look at it soon!

@elanor Whoa, that’s so cool! You must have an awesome collection!

@elfwing Ahh…the forum does that sometimes. It’s quite annoying.

I have betta fish! One’s called Dennis, the other called Festus. They’re quite cute.

@anika123 Me? I’m old…I can handle some mature stuff. I like crime, mainly. But also sad stories.

@elanor Lovely movie choices! And yes, Hallmark, does, uh, kind of suck. At least for me.

Those desserts sound delicious! And vanilla is seriously good.

Oo, rocks! What’s the most interesting rock that you have?

@anika123 Oh, nice! Any shows you would recommend?

@lydia-s I’m glad to hear you love writing so much! And ey, soon to be graduates unite!

Me, I’m going to college for computer science, actually. With a minor in music. I’m not planning on doing any writing classes. I’m hoping to write a lot in my free time, and the dream is to be able to quit my job and become a full-time writer before 30. I feel…[Read more]
