Natalie C. started the topic Keep going or jump ahead? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years ago
This is very random, but when y’all are writing and you get stuck at a scene, do you make yourself keep working on it so you stay in order? Or do you sort of jump to the next scene that interests you so you can keep up your momentum?
Adding some peoples… (also this might go through twice…)

@devastate-lasting Thanks for the advice and encouragement! It would be pretty easy to fix the plot holes some other way, but I do like how my idea pulls seemingly unrelated things together.

@devastate-lasting Thank you! I’ll definitely remember that.
@lydia-s Hello!
Oh, that sounds awesome! I adore Jane Austen and retellings are so cool. That does sound like fun!
To answer your questions:
1. Elizabeth Bennet. Lizzie forever! 🙂
2. I have no idea! *pauses to think* Probably Leah or Hannah. Or Abigail. But I really like my name!…[Read more]

Hello and nice to meet you!
1. It’s about a girl – Eva – whose father has tuberculosis and whose mother is looking for a job. Eva finds a young hobo named Charlie and she tries to get her family to help him. Yikes, that doesn’t sound very interesting! (I certainly hope it is. But as it’s my fault I don’t have a nicer blurb, I…[Read more]

Morgan replied to the topic Hello! in the forum Start HERE 5 years ago
@devastate-lasting Oh boy. Not sure how to summarize my lengthy plot line. ;P The main gist of the book is that there are four siblings growing up in America who discover, after their only surviving parent dies, that their parents fled to America from a different world (and yes, they had a reasonable way to do this but it would take way too long…[Read more]

Morgan replied to the topic Hello! in the forum Start HERE 5 years ago
Hi! I’m currently about halfway through writing a fantasy novel. As for movies, I like the three Chronicles of Narnia ones and How to Train Your Dragon I, II, and III. I like pretty much any music that is epic (like movie themes) and doesn’t have words. Besides writing, I enjoy reading, photography, being outside, spending…[Read more]

For some reason, I feel like I’m getting a better idea of who your guys’ character more from these three questions than most character questionnaire sheets, haha. XD

@elfwing Nope you’re not weird. It helps me too. XD Thanks so much for the advice, it was super helpful!
@jenwriter17 Thanks so much! Those articles helped a lot. I definitely tell myself those lies on a regular basis, and it helps to know that someone else struggles with them too.

Natalie C. started the topic Encouragement needed in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 1 month ago
Hello all! I’ve been feeling really discouraged lately about my writing. It doesn’t seem very good to me, and reading other people’s amazing work doesn’t help. How do y’all get motivated when you just want to chuck it all in the garbage can (if I’m not the only one that ever wants to do that)?
