@gracie-j ;-; Thanks for bring this up, Grace. This is why I always, ALWAYS, copy the whole text before starting a new forum topic, just in case this happens.

@joy-caroline

I always do a lot of brainstorming with a new idea (a.k.a. brain dumping into a journal). I basically just kinda write down whatever little ideas come to mind for the book idea, and when I feel like I have a good amount, I might try to arrange the ideas into plot points. At the same time I work on the characters too, figuring out…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Lemme run through a slightly embarrassing way of how I developed Under That Dusky Sky so far…

1. Cue me watching Monsters Inc. Seeing Randall, I think, “Well. I could do with some sort of character who can turn invisible who is super annoying and also a snitch.

2. Riding in a car a few weeks later, I’m thinking back to this one…[Read more]

@gracie-j Yep! I would love to write a script for my novel. I should probably finish it first though XD I’ve spent literally hours imagining it as a movie XD Yes, I saw it a couple months ago! I watched it with my family and we didn’t realize it was a Christian movie when we started it XD I was nervous it would be preachy like most Christian m…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Ooh, this is a good question! I’ve tried writing scripts before but they kind of flopped. I still wanna finish one at some point though XD

I think it’d be suuuuper fun to write a screenplay for historical fiction or fantasy (an epic script like LOTR? yes please). And like @gracie-j said, PIRATES. It would be SO MUCH FUN to write a…[Read more]

@kathleenramm When I start feeling discouraged I’ll usually spend some time praying about it and take a short break from writing. I think for me when I’m feeling discouraged it’s usually because I’m comparing myself to other writers or I feel like I’m not working hard enough on my WIP. Usually it’s simply a matter of readjusting my focus.

@kathleenramm I guess usually I just tell myself I’m too tired, and I go on and work on one of my other hobbies for a few months. Or I switch it up. Variety helps a lot.

@scripter-of-kingdoms Ah thank you! I’m looking forward to seeing what it’s about haha

@gracie-j

That’s really interesting how you thought Xavier was awful, but everyone liked him! You must be a better writer than you think.

@nova21

That was one of my favorite books when I was nine! I haven’t read it recently, but I still have fond memories of it and of course Sage.

@buildsbygideon

Interesting thought! I guess there might be…[Read more]

Wow, this is from a little while ago. 😛  Thanks!  I’m glad you like it.

I agree, Kipling’s poems are very good.  Now I should go back and read some, since I haven’t read any of his works in a while. 😉  My favorite poet of the droll variety is probably A.A. Milne, though.  What do you think of his stuff?

@abigail-m

Thank you! …[Read more]

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice @valtmy @alia @gracie-j

Hey there!  How’s everyone doing?  It’s been a little while. 🙂

Is anyone around?

@godlyfantasy12 @e-k-seaver How did our challenge go, guys? I managed to finish the project I set for myself by midnight last night, haha…

@gracie-j @mkfairygirl Thanks!~

@gracie-j Thank you! I haven’t exactly tried writing a blurb for any one thing of my series, but I think now’s a good time to try.

When Kenneth Ouyang receives a cry for help to rid the lands of the demon Jael, he takes it upon himself to assemble a team to fight against evil, including Adonis Domini, fresh from Jael; Leif Fukuda, dark and silent;…

Ok, here are two for the main cast for a thing I’m starting soon…

@kathleenramm I’ve only read two of his superhero sci-fi books and they were all right, but not brilliant. So far, that’s been my impression of Sanderson, all right but not brilliant. I will keep reading though!

@daisy-torres Ahhh might I suggest you a thing called DeepL Translate? It works so much better than Google Translate for Chinese-English translations…

@daisy-torres Dang, girl… That is a lot! While, I, too, have several books planned to write in Chinese,  I have not attempted that yet… If you need me to check anything, feel free to ask!

Take a break! That is a lot!
