@ethryndal Oh yeah. Taking a break from something like that is very good. Not only do you want to prevent yourself from a burnout, but also, it can lead to something even better, like what @mariposa said. I’ve done that multiple times. Planned out a story, begun writing it, then stopped. In fact, I have more than thirty stories in my files that…[Read more]

@ethryndal Taking a break is one of the best things a writer can do when they’re stuck. I wrote two whole books which I ended up abandoning because of plot holes, but mainly because I was writing the way I thought I was supposed to write. I didn’t know what to do or where to go with my writing. I started writing a kooky story just for fun, and it…[Read more]

@glitter-ocelot Welcome to the goofiest place on the internet (I *cough* technically did not say it, @josiahdeboer). Me, my assistant (Aberdeen the authorosaurus), and his best friend, Dee-Dee the doodledactyl, greet you! I’m elated to find another glitter lover (I literally shed glitter everywhere I go). Do you like to draw/paint or make homemade…[Read more]

I like the last one, because that does relate to your book the mos, although I like the wording of ‘The Time of Courage’, or even without the ‘the’ in there.
@daeus

@graciegirl No worries, I know how notifications can get buried sometimes. 🙂

Thanks for your support! It might be a while before I finish it, I’ll let you know when I do. 🙂 I might work in it today (I’ve been meaning to work on it the last few days but somehow always ended up drawing instead). I’m a little nervous because the magazine is…[Read more]

@daeus I know I haven’t read your book, but I thought I might be able to at least help you with your title. 🙂 I like the second one best. I don’t much care for the last one; it sounds a little too unoriginal. If you want to convey time travel in the title though, none of these seem to show that. And I agree with what Josiah said about the first…[Read more]

Yep. 110% what they said.

@salome01w4g There was also Cornwallis, who was a British officer in the American Revolution.

@Emily
I agree with what everyone else said. Just change the names of the kids and maybe just don’t mention the location at all. Also, you could make the family only have 3 kids, unless the 4 children is a main part of the story. 🙂

*blinks* Bye all….is anyone still there?

I find that if I let it go all the way to 70, it gets really weird. Like, it’ll miss a post of mine, or it’ll send me back to the first page.
*dragon shrug and thumps tail, sending gold everywhere*

@daeus @salome01w4g @daughteroftheking I’ll be writing a few short essays for school. *melts desk* Oh look. Now I can’t…

*desk magically reappears*

Oh.

@theacornman
No, I’m American. I wondered because my family visited England last summer. Do you live more in the country or city.

Gotta love things like this.

The internet: a writer’s best friend. (besides dogs)

@theacornman Wait? You’re british? Awesome! I believe that you are our first person from Britain. Congratulations! *shakes hand vigorously again*
I have to ask though…do you in Britain ever imitate American accents?

@theacornman Greetings, writer and fellow lover of sci-fi and fantasy! Always happy to greet other writers! 😀
*shakes hand far too vigorously*
So, would you rather write your book by typing with chopsticks, or writing it on paper with the hand that you don’t use? (i.e if you’re right handed, you’d use your left-hand.)

I write science fiction.…[Read more]

@theacornman
So…I have to ask. Where in Britain do you live?
