Sorry! I just saw this.

Hmmm…. I don’t like first person naritives… so that already makes me biased, but I honestly really liked that chapter the way it is. Like, a LOT. I don’t want you to touch it. If it’s the chapter I’m thinking of (the end one) it was one of my very favorites.

You can try the first person, but I say leave…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

😂😂😂 I wouldn’t edit like that. I can’t draw. XD Other reasons too of course. XD

@rae

I’m impressed that you managed that. I could maybe do eight hours, but not 12.

@theducktator

Oh no. Praying!!

My grandma was in a bad car accident today. It was a front collision at 50-60 mph, but other than that, we don’t really know anything about the crash itself. My grandma is in the emergency room with a fractured elbow and some broken ribs. She should recover without needing surgery, but prayers would be appreciated.

@whalekeeper @keilah-h

Would it help if I did a test piece and posted it on here so you can kinda see what it’d look like?

If I do that, I’ll probably do it tomorrow

TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE CHALLENGE i ATTEMPTED TODAY

I lost track of my hours, but I did get through most the Baron Chronicles. I didn’t get into the short story…[Read more]

@rae

You’re not alone when it comes to getting easily distracted.

Should I write Farewell in first person?

Hmmm, can’t say. It seemed straightforward enough in third person from what I remember.

I finished all the short stories, but I didn’t give you feedback for all of them I’m afraid. 😅

Also on the first person thing, it might work, but it also might throw everyone off, y’know? It really depends.

I think his passion is what made him the best fantasy author. If Tolkien didn’t love writing, and didn’t love the story, then it wouldn’t have been a classic. It wouldn’t have been published at all.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. He wrote great stories because he loved writing so much, not because his ability was somehow greater than other writers.

@keilah-h

Like, people go on and on about how he was basically “The Perfect Fiction Writer,” do they realize he was just a guy who was SUPER passionate about his story?

@rae

I’m one of those perfectionists who wants to throw their stuff in the trash everytime they read it just cuz it isn’t as good as Lord of the Rings

I know you’re joking, but has nobody thought about the fact that it must’ve either taken Tolkien like 5 drafts to get it perfect, or he was just the exception to the rule and had everything str…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Yep, basically burnt out. And easily distracted XD. Three more stories. I dragged my feet in the last one.

@ellette-giselle

Honestly, you were one of the main people I had in mind when I decided to go for it. I LOVED your book and it meant so much. People need to be able to read stuff like it, but honestly it’s so hard to get p…

@rae

How’s the editing going so far? I bet you’re super tired by now. XD

@rae

since most publishing companies fail within five years

Ouch.

Hahahahaha! Totally joking.

Well that’s really great. I’ve gone through the nightmare, and while horrible, at least it helped me know which information I wanted/needed readily available to be able to have WHP set up in a way that other authors would get what they…[Read more]

@rae @ellette-giselle I’m glad you guys were able to work something out!! I’ve just self-published every time I finished a book, but I have a book on writing and it talks about how to get a publisher, and I was like “wow, this is…..really complicated. Do we really need to do all this?”

@ellette-giselle ikr? Cats are either the sweetest or little terrors, and there isn’t really an in between lol

@keilah-h

So true though! XD

@ellette-giselle so cute!!
