Destiny

Er…none of mine. That I’ve previously requested, that is.

And while we’re on that subject…I have this character named Ava Wayne. She’s the sister of Matthias, a character who @kate-flournoy drew for me a few pages ago.

I’ve been picturing her with red hair and hazel eyes. She has sharper facial features than her brother, and she’s always…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy You on?

Haha, I was stalking K.M Weiland’s website the other day and actually copied this into my photos.

This makes so much more sense. I’ve never tried writing something so structured before, so I’m bound to make mistakes…ugh.

@winter-rose

Key event? What’s that? @winter-rose

Funnily enough, that doesn’t really change what I was planning on doing in future chapters. It just makes more sense now. @winter-rose

*slaps forehead* Duh, Elizabeth…

Okay. I’m making note of this for future reference. I think I definitely checked off my Inciting Event too early. Which, although it’s annoying, kinda brings everything else into clearer focus…

Can’t write about stuff that hasn’t happened yet, right?

The stuff before the first plot point. I think.

Erm, you’ve read Prison, right? If so, do you think Tam being taken is a decent enough Inciting Event? Or should I do something more drastic? @winter-rose

Here’s the thing @winter-rose –I’m stuck, but not on the plot. I have ideas. I know where I want the story to go. I just don’t know how to get there.
In the past, whenever I would get bored with a story, I’d just skip to the action, help preserve my interest. I can’t do that here, obviously, and I’m bored of just siting around, staring at my…[Read more]

Novel Excerpt (Feedback Welcome)

There. @winter-rose

Gabby! Hi!

Um, okay. Probably best if we switch to my excerpt forum…let me find the link real quick… @winter-rose

I’m writing if anyone’s here. @kate-flournoy @dragon-snapper @ethryndal @winter-rose

Kate, if you’re on…I need brainstorming help. If anyone else is willing to help, I’d love to get a fresh voice in my head… *bashes skull against nearest wall*

@winter-rose @that_writer_girl_99 @audrey-caylin @daeus @kate-flournoy @ethryndal @northerner I’m editing if anyone is there.

*closes eyes* Thanks for the spoilers…I have this book on hold at the library, you know… @graciegirl

Hmm…while we’re in this topic, I have a change of goals. Instead of trying to write the other novel that I’m working on right now, I have these.
1. Enter edits from hard copy of book into computer
2. Write the LKD

This is something that I’ve considered with my own WIP, and I decided not to worry about it–for the moment. The reason is that oftentimes, what I want the chapter to contain doesn’t always happen within that certain chapter. I don’t want to name the chapter something unrelated to what happens within it.

But since you’ve finished your draft, you…[Read more]

Thanks @northerner

Hi everyone–
My brother was going to go to a friends’ house today, but in the process of getting his fishing pole ready for the outing, he sliced open his hand. My mom took him to the ER, and he has to get stitches.

My brother just made a travel baseball team for the summer, and we have camps, vacations, and other things that we were planning…[Read more]

It’s like trying to drink from a firehose @northerner
