I know you’ve written a bunch of great chapters!!!! 😃
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! That’s SUPER helpful!!!! I agree, first lines tend to hook readers. I do spend a lot of time on that, but I don’t want to overdue it. (I have read some books where it seems like the author spent two years writing the first line, lol!! &#x…[Read more]

@nova21 Don’t know if I have written a good chapter in my life but I do know that I like first chapters that do some explaining! Or at least show a bit of what the mc is like. Maybe like a scene, then intro? Not sure. I’m excited to see what everyone else says!

Hey peoples!!! I am currently in that “writing-the-first-chapter-that-turns-out-to-be-a-dud-FIVE-THOUSAND-TIMES” phase… I may be over-exaggerating a little, but I’m sure y’all have felt like that before… 😄
So here are some details:Â Seia, the MC, is living in isolation from society, with only her sister and a couple of slaves as fr…[Read more]

@nova21 Yes I am! (And the working title is currently Destiny’s Murder) as for ur question, it kinda depends on ur preference. Maybe try it out? Rn I’m just sticking to this one (except I have a nonfiction help book in mind)

I am!!! Are you working on that story w/ Arabella and November? (sry forgot the title 😬)  How far are you into it?
I have a question: do you find it easier to work on one WIP or two or more? like, when you get tired of one, you can switch to another one temporarily. or do you make yourself stick with one? i’ve been trying…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12
I downloaded Quoll Writer as well as LibreOffice but for now am usually using WPS Office since it’s most similar to Word…I backup my things in Google Drive, though with Quoll it’s kinda hard to do so… -

@golden-knight Hey there! Welcome to the Kingdom!
Ooh, the Scribble Society looks really intriguing! I’ll give you guys a follow. 🙂
A few questions to get to know you…
What genres do you write? What is your WIP about? Do you have any other hobbies outside of writing?

@scoutfinch180 I’m thinking One Story looks the most promising, since they are very open to new authors! Plus they just opened up submissions again!

@gracie-j Ahh this makes me want to go and write! I’ll work hard, I promise!

@imwritehere1920 Ooh, needle felting! I think I’ve seen that before! Never tried it, though. I like playing piano, making music, and sometimes I do embroidery.

Lin replied to the topic Subgenres–Helpful or a Hindrance? in the forum Fantasy 5 years, 8 months ago
@larchness I remember looking at this before. It was very fun.
1. Mine is definitely series fantasy. Other genres that my other things might fall into would be low fantasy, urban fantasy, eastern fantasy…
2. I just write what feels familiar, so no, usually. Sometimes, though, I might say, “I really want write an eastern or wuxia fantasy right…[Read more]

GodlyFantasy12 replied to the topic Subgenres–Helpful or a Hindrance? in the forum Fantasy 5 years, 8 months ago
TBH didn’t read the article. But I would say that some Subgenres can be good but that article has way too many in my opinion!
I think u have to limit yourself to just a few, so Portal Fantasy, Historical Fantasy, High Fantasy, Epic Fantasy, etc.
But don’t feel like u have to fit into one. I mean, I feel they’re just there if u want…[Read more]
