@rae

I like it how it is, tbh. I think it sounds great!

I’m dreaming of a time, when I was broken,

When you comforted me, many a time.

This part though doesn’t flow as smoothly as the rest of it. Um… I wish I could offer a suggestion… Maybe it could go something like this…?

I’m dreaming of a time, when I am hurting,

@savannah_grace2009

Oh my goodness so I just watched one of her videos on why she chose to indie publish her book, and she claimed she wasn’t bashing traditional publishing but… you can tell she’ll never traditionally publish any of her books. 🫤😂 And she was saying that some people will give their manuscript to a publishing company, get rejec…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Oooh, I like the idea!!

That said, if anyone has any interesting plot ideas or conflict suggestions, let me know! Or if there are any good book recommendations from that time period, I’d love to hear them.

I will say writing a book over the span of eight years could be a challenge, but I’m sure you could do it. 😉 A series isn…[Read more]

Ooh, ok. So I see where your doubts are coming from. Here’s my opinion…
I believe that as soon as a baby is conceived in the womb, he (referring to either gender in this case) is a human being with a soul that is loved by God. Obviously he cannot physically breathe yet because he’s only a few cells. But when he is born, God is ultimately the O…[Read more]

Oh and I’ve been doing to character development and really focusing on the character aspect of my stories. I think that’s been strengthening my writing as I try to focus on character voice and characters in general more than the plot, if that makes sense. I think beforehand my story was too plot-driven, and now that I’ve been digging into who m…[Read more]

Aw man, yeah that’s not fun. I’ll pray for you ❤️ But yeah, writing in your head is still progress XD

Aww, I love that so much 😍 And it seems pretty realistic too.

Um, sort of. I’ve been working on the third draft of my first book, which needed serious help. XD Basically, my plan is to have my trilogy as my main project that I’m always working…[Read more]

Thanks!! Yeah, I definitely got writing more after NaNo since I figured out I could write 1-2k words a day. Not that I write that much a day anymore, but I’m much more consistent now XD

Yeah, I’m really interested to see what happens. 😁
I’m also going to have my parents read through a book I’ve been working on, my NaNo project actually, and get their feedback on it. Because they’ve only read a couple short stories and I wasn’t quite asking for critique on them. I think it’s gonna be interesting to see what they think, especially…[Read more]

  I hope that goes well for you! I’ve had really veried experiences with critiques, from the real blunt honest/painful to my mom saying she thinks it’s nice. Little bit of both are healthy imo lol XD good luck with your book, oh and congrats on writing so much this year, i haven’t read most of it but I’ve seen your consistent postings 😉

  - Esther replied 10 months, 2 weeks ago
    
    No one in particular atm, but I think I’m gonna work on Adrian next, and then move onto my other side charries. They need some development… it’s pretty bad. XD

Heyyy!! How are you doing? How’s writing going?
Esther posted a new activity comment 10 months, 2 weeks ago

Heyyy! Happy 2024!!
Just working on writing and hoping to get some final drafts by the end of the year 👀 I’m also planning to write more short stories and stuff like and enter them into contests, just to see where my writing stands and get me writing non novel length works.
Nothing really new other than that I think. XD

  Hey there!
  Nice! keep me posted 🙂
  Y’know I think short stories are great for that! I thought my short story was really good, but after getting it critiqued by a more experienced author I was knocked back down to size 🤦🏻‍♀️it felt awful but showed me how much more work I had to do!

Oh cool!

It was really good though, so I don’t blame him. XD What shocks me is that the series was the first books Andrew Peterson had ever written. And from the nonfiction he’s written, I think I’ve found out that he had everything planned from the beginning of writing them. (At least that’s what I understood. He never blatantly stated it.)

Yeah, that’s what I thought too. I think my mind broke at the last book when everything was explained and the story was ended. Like, I have never seen a plot like that before. XD
