I’m a big believer in Doing Whatever Works For You, however, I’m personally going to go against the grain here and say that for me personally editing a duology together is what works better for me. I’ve written a duology and I’m currently in the process of editing it (or I’m pretending to edit it rather), and for me the best way to do it…[Read more]

@relia I’m waiting till I finish most of my series to edit…or maybe all of it (probably because I hate editing) but also in future books I might decide to change things that happen in previous books so when I go back to rewrite or whatever I can change accordingly. Also because my writing improves the more I write.

@relia

I’d recommend editing it before you move on to book two, because sometimes with editing things change around with the plot and characters and it’d be easier to have those things at least somewhat set in stone before moving on to the next book than to have to do even more editing with the second book. It may have been confusing the way I…[Read more]

@kathleenramm It was one of those homeschool minivans, which is lowkey funny to me. That would make a great device, as well as a way to introduce a character.

@kathleenramm I actually did write a story based on it 😀 a little bit loosely albeit, but here it is if you’d like to read it 😀 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oa-DrOTBmcNVHcn3DZbgjPmYM1qNDuKPzyE_u0AWeaA/edit?usp=sharing

@devastate-lasting

Oh, wow. What kind of car was that? If you do end up writing this into a story I bet you could make up some really cool explanation, like… alien car, fairy car, super-high-tech-rich-guy’s car, I don’t know. XD

But I can imagine it being a really fun scene.

@lewilliams

Haha! It would would be really fun to write about a…[Read more]

@lewilliams hello there! I haven’t heard from you since the Intern days 🙂

*Rubs hands together* I’ve got plenty of recs for you.

First of all, I recommend a good reread. Whenever I get in a reading slump, I do a reread of some of my favourites. I just finished a Narnia reread and I’m currently doing a LOTR reread (in which I also hope to read…[Read more]

@relia

That’s a really good question… As much as I want to write full-time (which is pretty much what I do now), I think having other jobs is a good way to gain experience in different areas.

@lewilliams Ah, yes, books. Also something I’ve been struggling with lately. But I’d be glad to give you some reccs of books that I love! Although, I have to warn you…lately I haven’t been able to stomach anything other than classic lit, so maybe a lot of these books will have the same flavor as the things that you read for your college…[Read more]

@relia Another job, because I feel like maybe, just maybe if I had to do writing as work then I might hate it.

@relia I’d choose to have another job as well, either as a dog trainer or a speech pathologist. I love writing, but it could never be more of a side job for me. I’m a hands on person and I would need to be out in the world in order to actually write good things.

@kathleenramm

That is so incredibly cute! And I think we need a sequel to that short story about the janitor 😛

Occasionally little things I’ve experienced make it into stories of mine, but one thing that happened actually made it into the work I am possibly most proud of, a short story I wrote a few years back. Essentially, my family had lunch…[Read more]

@typewriter77 Hi Seth! Nice to meet you! I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin. I also write fantasy and contemporary, as well as crime and now occasionally some dystopian and maybe eastern fantasy. I haven’t met anyone who’s written Wuxia before! I do love reading some of them. Might I ask if you’re an anime fan? You seem like the type.

Do…[Read more]

@kathleenramm That’s such a fun story!

Other than people that would make good characters…

On the first day of one of my classes this year I was heading in doors to the place where we hold our co-op, and anyways, while I was still outside in the parking lot, this car just drove by in front of my, crunching this safety cone (which are…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Awesome! Good luck with the rest of it!

@rochellaine

Thank you! Oh wow, a country song? I’m intrigued. 😀 That’s awesome that you’re getting back into writing again! Yup, I’m working on my sequel. I made some pretty good progress yesterday. 🙂 Abbie Emmons is hosting a virtual ‘writing retreat’ during June with writing livestreams every Wednesday, if you’re interested.

@relia I’m not British, so if there’s any Britishers on here, please feel free to tell me I’m an idiot.

Anyway, I’m Australian and we tend to swear a lot and very similarly to British people, for obvious reasons. “Bl**dy” (censoring because I don’t know everyone on here’s personal views on certain words), h**l and d*mn are all pretty “low level”…[Read more]

@nanisnook

Yeah, I get what you mean. Almost anything can be easier or harder depending on the situation.

Have you ever based characters on other people in your life?

@seekjustice

I hope you have better days soon.  You’re in my prayers.  Congratulations on the job offer!  That’s wonderful! 😀  I keep feeling it’s kind of weird that we’re all grown up now… 😛  do you?

I’m doing great.  Settling in well to married life. 🙂  It has been strange living so far away from my family now, but they visit pretty…[Read more]
