@joy-caroline When I posted the above I hadn’t refreshed the page yet. I’m relieved to find out I’m not the only one.

@kathleenramm Do I have to have…finished the book?
I remember starting the Penderwick Papers…I dunno if I ever finished it. Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, I started it right after reading Oliver Twist so I really couldn’t stomach all the rich people and parties and stuff like that…
Okay, as for one I actually read all the way through, I didn’t…[Read more]

@gracie-j Ah, well, I still use it… When I started listening to music I used this app called Netease Cloud Music, which is from China, and I still use it the most often to this day. There’s no ads, though most popular songs I’m not able to listen to in this country. Then the year before last I started using Spotify, and man, was it an…[Read more]

@gracie-j I have not yet made any playlists and I hate Spotify with a passion but let me see what I can whip up sometime!

YESS!!!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve had soooooooooo many rejections (literally every single thing I’ve written and submitted for something was rejected) in the past but I’ve never thought of looking at it as it just not being the right season for it to work. So, that’s an AWESOME perspective to have!

I absolutely love your storyline for Newton and Caira! It sounds like a book I’d want on my bookshelf.
I totally agree with you about ‘hate-to-love’ romances in stories, they’re awesome. I wish I could fit it in my WIP, but I’m not sure how I’d manage it seeing as how complicated the two characters’ dynamics and…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Coughing in old novels always meant tuberculosis. So if the character has any symptoms, that could help.
Also if he takes pills or needs injections or something you could also make someone accidentally open his bag once…and then the character can come and quickly take it away and say they’re for someone else or something. I…[Read more]

Hey there! I’m so sorry to hear that your story was rejected. That’s really hard to deal with. I remember my very first rejection and how crushing it was, and honestly how crushing every other rejection has been since then. Rejection isn’t ever easy, but unfortunately it’s just a part of how the writer’s life goes.
What keeps me…[Read more]

@reaganramm I would be interested either way! There’s plenty of tips I could glean from a show dedicated to different types of creators, even though I’m not very creative apart from writing. But a show dedicated just to writing would also be immensely helpful!

I also love You’re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile by Sia. It’s great for my character Jocelyn, and I think anyone who has a very upbeat, smiley character might enjoy this song!
Imagine dragons is also great. I just luv music lol

@gracie-j What about sharing music that inspires our WIPs? For me, I love the live action dumbo soundtrack! It’s great for the Circus vibe and has a lot of great instrumentals. (My 3 favs from the album is Logo, Trains A Comin’ and Pink Elephants on Parade!)

Lin replied to the topic Character/Book Aesthetics in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 8 months ago
@gracie-j Ooh…nice idea! Unfortunately I’m not quite one to have many items that fit stories…I’ll probably just try to make story/character aesthetics instead. I haven’t made many before…I like the idea, though.

That’s super awesome! Horses are really great, (responsibility, yes) but really great!
I believe mine is a cross between a quarter horse and welsh, but since she’s a grade horse, it’s hard to tell.
Riding is one of my favorite things to do! I don’t think it’s is one of my horse’s favorite things though. I picked up on that after…[Read more] -
SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner 01 in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 8 months ago
Yeah, that’s probably an idea. I really want to finish the trilogy this year so I’m rereading the first two so I can get a good idea. The original plot was a Scarlet Pimpernel retelling but the Scarlet Pimpernel is very different to the other two so the third book was coming off more as a standalone story and it just wasn’t working.…[Read more]

I also don’t really know that, but ending with the execution of a major character probably isn’t it 😀
Are you/were you planning to have a Pakistani wedding like your brother did?

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner 01 in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 8 months ago
I think I was??? Maybe. I can’t remember now. I do like it the way it is though, I just don’t have any cohesive plot for the third book and this one doesn’t end in a duology ending sort of way.
That sounds so much fun! When are you planning on getting married? Are you able to have a big wedding or it only going to be small?

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner 01 in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 8 months ago
I’m just rereading my SFI sequel. I opened it randomly the other day and have been reading through it since. It’s better than I remembered 😛
Ooh that sounds so fun! I used to do that sort of thing a lot, unfortunately none of my youngest brothers are very into plays. I hope it works out well! Is it a musical?
