@epicaddie2 I’ve been doing YWW since last year! 😀 Have you joined the special YDubs group?

@epicaddie2 As much as I would love to join… I’m currently trying to save my coins for other writerly things. (laptops and conferences and retreats) So…I’m going to stick with KP. BUT HAVE A GREAT TIME YONDER!

A couple of suggestions.

This site: Fantasy name generators. Names for all your fantasy characters. 

Or, take an ancient or fairly unknown/unused language and find the words that mean what you are doing. Like for emotions, find a word that means moving and feeling, and put that together some how. Since they all have the commonality of moving…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin @daeus
So… how long do these breaks usually last??

@jenwriter17 I got that reference. 😉

@dekreel No idea. 😉

@rochellaine Yes! 😀  Thanks for finally answering it! 🙂 And no idea. 😉

@audrey-caylin Certainly would be nice. XD Laws.

@that_writer_girl_99 lol, that thought did cross my mind, but I checked everywhere. ???????

@emily-d I’ve actually had the same problem before. I get really attached to my babies….

Anyway, is she not able to save any parts of the story at all? Maybe brainstorm some more to make it where she’ll like it? If not, then I think putting them in another story should be okay, though I think it should probably be in the same genre as they were…[Read more]

@mariposa

I love all of your quotes!❤👍

@mariposa I like Charles Spurgeon too. Have you read his morning and evening devotional book?

@valtmy Wow, Rochellaine covered it pretty well, lol.

Some babies might be deep sleepers, but they frequently wake up in the middle of the night and cry for attention (I have two younger siblings), so I don’t know if saying the baby was a deep sleeper is enough (it’s also been a while since my siblings were babies). I like the idea of a false…[Read more]

Bonus points and my undying respect to those of you who can guess these:

Two characters on the telephone:

Character 1: “I’ll be there in an AAAAAAAAAA…!”

Character 2: “In an ‘hour?’ I can’t wait an hour!”

Second quote:

“Dynamic deduction!”

@mariposa  Ohh, no…… X’D

@emily-d  Tell me about the characters! I love hearing about them. What kind of world do they live in? What are their personalities like? How old are they? That way I can give you a story idea based on the characters and the world they live in 🙂

@christi-eaton I’m afraid I can’t recommend any since I’ve never listened to audiobooks. 🙈 Being an introvert, I retain things better by reading rather than by listening. 🙂

@emily-d Maybe instead of using all the characters, she could just take her two favorites and incorporate them in a new story. Or she could create a new story with different characters but have the characters be similar to the ones in her abandoned story. 🙂

@rochellaine @jenwriter17 Love the quotes! ❤️ 🙂 Here are some Charles Spurgeon ones I like (they aren’t exactly writing related, but they could be applied to writing):

“Rome was not built in a day, nor much else, unless it be a dog kennel.”

“He is not the best student who reads the most books, but he who meditates the most upon them.”…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper @dekreel @catwing *whistling triple dent gum* Anger yells “No!” and pounds the control panel. Mind workers solemnly resolve never to forget these songs and decide to throw the memory of algebra into the memory dump.
