I have unwittingly written many XD. I admit I automatically do that with characters. Maybe too much. I have two favorites.

The main antagonist, who I mentioned in the topic of the week, is the one I’m currently doing. I debating a few endings… but I decided on a positive character arc instead of him staying locked up in the far…[Read more]

@hallie-jean

I do the same as @daisy-torres. Although, I do keep my first draft in a separate doc in case I reread later and don’t like my 2nd draft. I like to end a chapter mysteriously as possible and pick up on a different POV if there’s more than one. I like stories where the chapter ends in one charrie’s POV, and starts in a different one;…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

It’s power of the mind, my friend. Power of the mind… XD

and also some do look a lot more classy than others…

@joy-caroline

Well….. I am pretty basic with fonts… but as said by @writerlexi1216 changing fonts is like magic!!! It has helped me get past writer’s block, too.

@nova21 I wonder if it’s because it’s easy to do and something simple to control. It usually doesn’t take a lot of brainpower like story plotting does.

For all my books: Arial for…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

thanks!! I actually just finished the first draft for the last book in the series…

gimme til August and I plan to have it polished enough for other eyes…

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

idk what that tag at the bottom of your last response was, but if it’s a gang other than me and friends gang writing stories I ain’t  in…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

true, but I do have two hands…

maybe I’ll get a job there and be stuck there anyway

@kathleenramm

whoah… have you been talking to my friend???! She’s literally just been telling me I should  write a spin-off series of my story with the characters coming into our world…

I may have to take you up on that advice

i would want to introduce them to a whipped cream canister and also  Mountain Dew pop…. hehe

thanks!! I am so…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

ooo this is a great topic!!!

i am glad you could be kind to your villain… mine would be too proud to be beholden to someone he doesn’t know,

i would say I’m a character from his  world in different form. I’d probably  pretend to be his grandniece he thought he killed. He’s  regretted it since and it has fueled a hopeless bi…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

yeah… as long as you get them in the middle of sleep talking

apparently people Are very honest when they sleep talk… I’d say it’s true lol

@keilah-h

Lol I think everyone’s is in their own way…

@joy-caroline

indeed! 🙂

@keilah-h

google translate has been my friend lol

i look up an adjective/noun in a language I like, (Romanian, Gaelic, Punjabi) make sure it means what it’s supposed to, and with a bit of tweaking, I get cool names. Balar is my favorite; its from Romanian and means griffon/serpent, and Eala is from Gaelic and means swan. you get the idea. there…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

most of my projects are ones I don’t share with others, since I am rather conscientious about my work, so when I get stuck I like to brood in silence.

Either I sit and read or watch a movie, or I wander over what I just wrote before the roadblock hit. Try to figure out what I did that I don’t like.
And once I’m done brooding for a…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Are you kidding? Grace Johnson for an author’s name is amazing! Like I reference it to people and your site and it always sounds perfect. It reminds me a lot of Jane Austen or a Bronte 🙂

@joy-caroline

Ooh, I love that! ‘Joy C. Woodbury’ looks, sounds, and is, awesome, (I agree, the middle initial thing is pretty cool).

Thank you! 😀 Me too, I love CSFTS. I think my favorite books have gotta be the ones for writers, (have you read those? I think there’s only two of them so far). My sister prefers the cat compilations which also…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

I think that using your initials would be an excellent choice! (You’re so right, it looks amazing!)
*Whew* that’s good to know! I am so glad that I’m not 🙂

@writerlexi1216

WHOA, my link went through!!! 😀 😀 (I think the secret is perhaps to post it as a cut and paste instead of as a link) Cue the fireworks!! XD

@writerlexi1216

I think that in fantasy, initials are a continuous popularity, like say J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and J.K. Rowling. Although on the other hand, other fantasy stars like Niel Gaiman just stick with their real name and go with that.
Some writers like to take on pen names for the obvious reasons like privacy and genre-switching or…[Read more]
