@alia I’m going to be sprinting all day, so I may or may not be on here. Have fun writing!

Ooh ooh!

@elfwing FENNEC FOXES THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!! And yes there is one in my series.

Look up exotic animals if ur looking for something new! There’s lemurs, monkeys, lizards, fish, turtles, sugar gliders, porcupines, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, kangaroos, deer, etc.

Oh and tragic backstory…

and secret identity…..

ermmm. Let’s just say most of them 🤣

@kathleenramm

Chosen one and found family. Tho also best friends turned lovers if that counts. Lol

@kathleenramm Secret identities —- your works sound lowkey like Durarara!, which has quite a bit of that around the climax.

Hmm…for me I find myself pulling more light novel tropes, usually, such as getting hit by a truck, white curtains blowing in a classroom, fireworks festivals, etc…. I watch too much anime…

Um…I use “the quest” a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline That sounds awesome! I’m all for parallels! Sounds like it would be hard to pull off but if you could do it, that’d be really good!

@keilah-h Of course! One of my favorite books, East of Eden, is a retelling of Cain and Abel, and I love it to pieces. Your methods sound so cool! What stories do you usually choose?

@kathleenramm Ah, farmer/shepherd meaning Cain and Abel, haha… I didn’t realise I was writing a retelling of the first murder until I was almost done. So…

Yes, reflective character arcs are so good with foils and things… Those always strengthen themes the best, I think.

@kathleenramm Positive character arc…what’s that…

I used to not think about character arcs but hey, now I kind of do.

I know I have some planned but the only one I can think off of the top of my head that I’ve actually written is Rainan Streamgate’s negative character arc. Which, honestly, turned into a farmer/shepherd story more than I…[Read more]

@hallie-jean

…..I’m currently doing the first draft as well and UGH IT IS HORRIBLE but I’m just trying my best to ignore that fact and move on.

I mean.

horribly horrible. So so so so so bad…..sigh.

I could def use some encouragement because…boy do I feel like it’s awful. It’s gonna take a lot of work to the point I’m just not even sure I…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Glad I could help! To be honest, I have an outline too, but if my characters want to go somewhere else, I let them and forget the outline completely.

Also I’m stuck when it comes to drafting the middle (the actual mystery part of things) so I’m just like aggggghhhhh any ideas?

@seekjustice may be writing later before bed! I need to reach 40,000 words this Friday and I’m at over 33,000 words……

@hallie-jean Me, I write my first drafts as how I expect my story to be, except really really in need of editing. That is, when I’m on paper. My paper things aren’t good enough to be shown to the world. On PC I just write and try to aim for quality.

First draft I think means the first time you write a story through before you edit it. And I think…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

WOOHOOOO!!!! You did AWESOME, Lexi!!! THANKS for the sprint!!!! I worked on answering comments on my site, so I don’t know my actual word count, but it felt like a lot, lol. XD

@writerlexi1216

Joining at :00

@jenwriter17 Gotcha ;). Glad I just got a gift card! I’ll order it tomorrow.

@mkfairygirl Ah, I’m in a Zoom right now but I may or may not join you afterwards if I’m not passed out!

@joy-caroline Now I just wanna know who this Crynn guy is…guess I should go order the book!

@jenwriter17 (Paperback or Kindle? I want the author’s opinion)

@kathleenramm *spends too much time deciding which villain and also which one would be most fun*

For this guy I would give him money and then call the authorities. Not that he’s poor but maybe his world uses different currencies. I’m not sure.

I call the authorities to more quickly help him ease his burden of guilt; besides, he’s probably really…[Read more]
