Faith Q.

@joy-caroline I do like to talk about how I get my ideas. XD

Okay, I’m going to be open here and talk about something that I’ve never talked about with my writing friends before. Most of y’all know about the novel I was writing called Behind the Blade, Without the Wings. But what you didn’t know is that I got the idea for that novel LAST YEAR, a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Well, to be honest, stories kinda come to me.  I can’t really force myself to come up with ideas, but I do enjoy finding prompts (on Reedsy: https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/).  I also find great ideas when I’m reading;  for example, I was reading The Chosen by Taran Matharu and I thought about traveling between worl…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

One thing that I suggest is a personality change/evolution in your cast of characters:  the villain might change for better or descend into a downward spiral.  The secondary characters might end up sacrificing themselves for their friends, or maybe they betray them.  The MC might end up getting what they’ve been trying to get th…[Read more]

@joy-caroline It’d take too long for me to recount 13 Ways so I’ll just give a quick glossary over some short stories… I guess most of my ideas stem from like images I see in my brain or something that I’m reading at the moment. For example, I was reading a manga and about halfway I thought, What if I did something like this too, except not…[Read more]

And I’m not too concerned about it now since I’m in my first draft, but I am planning on trying to outline some after the first draft. (I’m a Plantser)

@writerlxi1216 So….not sure if I can be of much assistance because I feel I could also use some help with this! I’m kinda jumping around in my story so not sure if I’ve reached the climax or not…. Mind if I ask some questions too, and maybe get some info for mine? Maybe we can help each other lol!

I’m wondering exactly where my climax…[Read more]

@joy-caroline OOH! Yes! So much fun!

K so my current WIP is Destiny’s Murder, first book in my fantasy series. Actually this idea all started with a single character (well, two actually lol)

Ahem.

I was watching an Authortuber named Savannah J Goins, and she knows so so so much about animals, so she has some mythical creatures in her books that…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Sorry, but I got nothing, to be honest I’m probably the type of person kingdom pen was created for.

The only reason I’m here is because @devastate-lasting tagged me, and I gotta stay on top of the whole ‘staying relevant’ thing y’know?

So yeah, I’m in the same boat as you. I shall watch the upcoming posts on this topic with…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 As a fellow pantser, I am probably not qualified to answer this question. Most of the time I can kind of guess where the climax is by seeing where the falling action starts. But personally I feel like my climaxes are a bit on the bland side.

I think that what I can tell you is go for it, and edit later. After you write it you can…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Ahh currently I’m sorting out some homework but I’ll be glad to hop on at some point!

@faith-q Ah, sorry I missed you! I was sleeping.

@gracie-j Oo, that’s not horrible though! I might need to play with that some day!

@relia HAHAHA look at you XDDD Also, the “real quote” is so good!!!
