That’s awesome that you’re moving to Nova Scotia!:D
That sounds awesome and six novels? Wow, that’s incredible 😀 And from what I’m hearing about them, you should definitely try and publish after you polished them as much as possible, (but remember that there actually is an ‘enough is enough’ point. I know that sounds strange, bu…[Read more]

Hello friends!
I hope everyone is doing well <3
So, long story short, I’m attempting to “get back into” reading. It’s been a long while since I’ve read regularly for pleasure (I blame being an English major in college–it’s difficult to find the mental space for a “fun” book when you’re floundering through various reading lists, you see), and I…[Read more]

Madelyn replied to the topic Keep going or jump ahead? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 10 months ago
Hi there!! @nanisnook
When I’m stuck on a scene, I’ll usually brainstorm out the problem. If something feels off or I’m really not getting into the scene, it really helps to dig down to the root of the issue before continuing. If I try to write through something like that, the problem will often show through my writing.
Jumping ahead can be the…[Read more]

SeekJustice replied to the topic Keep going or jump ahead? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 10 months ago
I usually force myself to keep going through the scene. Usually all it needs is a few hundred more words and then I’m writing freely again. Having said that, in one of my last WIPs I got really stuck at a large portion and completely skipped four or five chapters and just kept going. It depends on what works for you really.…[Read more]

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…)

Hello, and it’s nice to meet you too. I love your username, by the way!
I do like tea. (No coffee for me, please!) I like any kind that’s really flavorful, and I like my tea brewed black. My favorite kind is sweet and spicy, and I also like gingerbread tea. Oooh, and I like black tea with a little lemon juice and honey.
Oh, no. I’m…[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
I’ve never been particularly interested in books about werewolves, but after reading you character descriptions, that may be changing…

Ooh, yes, I love Chuck Black books!! Hmm, I’m not sure I’ve heard of that series. Maybe I’ll look into it!
Yeah, the Viking Quest series is awesome!! *high-fives back*

Madelyn replied to the topic What is your least favorite type of hero? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 11 months ago
I really liked your points about rebellious characters and domineering girls. I see that a lot in stories nowadays (especially Disney), and I believe it’s something that needs to be called out.
Also, I agree with your points about how men and women are portrayed wrongly in fiction. Strong female characters should not mean physically str…[Read more]

Hi Elfwing! I am really sorry about this late reply, and I truly appreciate your patience with me here:)
Ooh, I LOVE the dynamics you created with the griffons and the firebirds. That’s extremely creative and intriguing! 😀

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)?

yeah, this will most likely be the first line in chapter 2! 😀
