@scripter-of-kingdoms
Hi! All good! Thanks for the encouragement and prayer it’s greatly appreciated 🙂
Well that’s good! It’s nice to feel accomplished I”isn’t it lol

Pretty good, slacking, though.
-
@devastate-lasting lolll mood T_T
-
@devastate-lasting haha biggest mood ever, my crime novel is feeling the effects of that XD
-
-
Ah, doing good! Currently trying to get out of writers’ burnout though… *sighs*
-
@writerlexi1216 aw, that sucks. 🙁 i’m kinda having burnout too. will pray <3 #burnoutbuddies
-
-
@scripter-of-kingdoms I’m doing good. 🙂 Been writing the first draft of my spy novel for more than a month and have about 6 or 7,000 words written. (It’s a slow process. XD)
-
@mkfairygirl aw, that’s awesome to hear! i’m glad it’s going well 😀 (yeah i understand, writing can be SO slow XD)
-
-
@gracie-j Yeah, but are you r e a l l y alive, or just living? XD
-
@gracie-j the blunt way you just… stated that… says you aren’t really…
-
@gracie-j *cries because this is the biggest mood ever*
-
@gracie-j Aww I’m sorryy, wanna hear a good joke to make you feel *more* alive? (Also for real, any time you wanna talk I’m here <3 you have my email)
-
I’m doing great! I’m further along in my novel than I’ve been in any other I’ve started and I’m still going strong… granted, I’m only 16,000-ish words into it, but still… All glory be to God! How’s life in your corner of the globe?
-
@faith-q aw, that’s great!! i’m SUPER happy to hear that!! yes and amen. <3 things are going along well! i've got a lot on my plate writing-wise at the moment, but i'm trying to take things slow and actually do some plotting + expansion of my series. thanks for asking! 🙂
-
-
@scripter-of-kingdoms Life is pretty swell at the moment! I’m busy fighting off the urge to rewatch the entirety of Loki at the moment, but that’s just life. 😛 How about you? How’s writing? How’s life? It’s good to talk to you!
-
@lewilliams LOL that’s good to hear! are you super into marvel? (at least i’m 70% sure loki is marvel LOL) i’m good! my life and writing are basically the same thing at the moment. XD i’ve realised that i have quite a bit of burnout from finishing my first novel last month, and i’m currently working on another WIP… i was trying to do it for…[Read more]
-
@scripter-of-kingdoms Heh, you could say that 😛 Yeah, I was referring to the Loki TV show on Disney+ (which yes, you are correct–it is Marvel), which has quickly become one of my favorite shows ever. But I’ll leave fangirling for another day 😛 I’m sorry you’re dealing with burnout! That’s never fun, but I promise it does get better <3 That's a…[Read more]
-
@lewilliams Oh, fun! My dad’s been binge-watching that show, LOL. Aw, thank you for the encouragement!! Yeah, I agree with that – I’m gonna try to do more on the plotting side of things until I feel I’m ready to write again. 🙂 AND THANK YOU!!!!! Awww, confetti! YAY! *scoops it up in handfuls* Haha, I’m ambitious. XD Yep, Bren’s in that series!…[Read more]

Oops I accidentally deleted my message! I basically said I hope you pass your driver’s test, when is it, I’m gad you’re good, and I’ll be back with a good joke book soon XD

Person A: Why did the cow jump over the moon?
Person B: Idk why?
Person A: Because the milkmaid had cold hands-
-
pfft… that is true… but i couldn’t come up with such a great person all on my own 😉
-
Kads that was smoooth XDD
-
@daisy-torres LOL thank you. 😉
-
-
@gracie-j Ooof okay I see. That’s rough. I’m doing the parent-taught course, where my parents just let me drive and tutor me as I go, and when I’m done and they confirm I’m a decent driver, I take an official test.
-
I’m doing good! Finally getting into a writing routine, (about time… XD ). Anyhow, how about you?
-
@abigail-m Oh, that’s good to hear! How are Meija and Filip doing? 😛 I’m doing… okay-ish, I’ve been burned out lately, what with finishing my first novel, so am trying to do some plotting for my next WIP. 🙂 Hoping to jump back into writing soon, though. Fingers crossed 🤞
-
Hi!:D (Very late reply, I apologize for that), Mejia and Filip are doing pretty good right now, (I mean despite a few arguments, fights, and a near-death experience), they’ve been getting along great:) XD It always makes me really happy when someone remembers my characters, so thank you for asking!!
Aw, I’m sorry to hear you’ve been burned out!…[Read more]

@gracie-j Ooof I FELT that. I’m trying to hang in there too tho XD We can do it *confetti for the future*
They don’t do it?? Sorryyy! I have a friend that did the ‘official’ drivers ed (I’m assuming like what you’re doing) and she said it was pretty complicated and hard to drive back and forth all the time. Sorryy XD You got this though!!!
-
@gracie-j *takes chocolate* Thankkss!
Oooh lovelyy ;-; How long would it take to do your courses and Driver’s ed? It sounds like you need some chocolate too XD *snaps the bar in half*
-
@gracie-j Oof girl! Good luck with that!! (I totally agree with you XD Reading is more fun when it gets your imagination going XD) You can do it though! I’m not sure how you will, but you will XD
-
@gracie-j Absolutely!!

ella replied to the topic Questions on drafts and beginnings… in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 1 month ago
Hey Hallie! Good question! A first draft is the first written version of your book. For me, I like to write all my words at once, then edit it afterwards. I always try to edit while I’m writing, but that’s not a great habit to build, because it can make me pretty discouraged. And like @devastate-lasting said, notes would be good to…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Positive character arc…what’s that…
I used to not think about character arcs but hey, now I kind of do.
I know I have some planned but the only one I can think off of the top of my head that I’ve actually written is Rainan Streamgate’s negative character arc. Which, honestly, turned into a farmer/shepherd story more than I…[Read more]

…..I’m currently doing the first draft as well and UGH IT IS HORRIBLE but I’m just trying my best to ignore that fact and move on.
I mean.
horribly horrible. So so so so so bad…..sigh.
I could def use some encouragement because…boy do I feel like it’s awful. It’s gonna take a lot of work to the point I’m just not even sure I…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Hey! Welcome back!!
I write first drafts like I would a normal novel. Then during my second draft, I go back and edit everything, add scenes, take out scenes, whatever needs to be done. Then if I think it needs it I’ll do a third ‘rewrite’, but I normally just stick with my first two steps XD
I love beginning my chapters with odd…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Oooh, that’s a great word count!!!!!!!!!! 😀 Great job, girl!!!!!!!🥳 I got distracted and ended up not writing anything. *cries*
Aww, YAY, that makes me SO happy that you are interested in The Black Cat!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀 Of course, I’ll totally take you up on that!!! 😉

That. Is. So. Cool!!! I want to watch that show right now! If you ever need someone to beta that script…I’ll be here XD
I also love fantasy and action, and I love legal thrillers/spy movies. Ooh, my dream film might be a fantasy quest/spy/war mashup (yeah…that’s pretty vague. It made more sense in my head). I’m a pantser too,…[Read more]

@hallie-jean That is so cool! Yes, The Avengers and The Lord of the Rings have also inspired me haha. And a TV show?? That’s awesome! I have a couple ideas for films/TV shows but haven’t gotten around to really outlining them yet.
-
Lin replied to the topic Questions on drafts and beginnings… in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 2 months ago
@hallie-jean Glad I could help! To be honest, I have an outline too, but if my characters want to go somewhere else, I let them and forget the outline completely.

@hobbitchild @hallie-jean Hellooo, everyone! I actually have been interested in doing screenwriting for a while now, so I guess that counts as being interested in filmmaking. I have yet to actually write a script, but I’m devoting my summer to learning more about screenwriting/filmmaking so I have a clearer idea of where to start. I love…[Read more]

Ugh, I totally understand this struggle. I think @devastate-lasting put things well when she said to just go back and leave notes about what you want to change. This will help, since you won’t be taking the time out of writing to actually change those things yet. I always want to go back and change things, since I have a very…[Read more]
