@gracie-j I’ll be sure to check out LibreOffice, thank you!
@jenwriter17 @seekjustice Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll probably look for a free alternative for Scrivener, because I have heard a lot of good things about it.

@devestate-lasting
I used Microsoft Word for years. I eventually stopped using it because, turns out, Word doesn’t like 100,000 plus words, which is fair. It’s still a great program and I use it for writing articles, short stories and essays.
For my novels, I now use Scrivener. Like Jenna said, it’s not free but it’s 100% worth the money, and…[Read more]

Absolutely barking mad.
I think that pretty much sums it up??
Lol, but seriously. I think I would say Passionate, Obsessive, and Distractible. I am very passionate and I often use writing as my tool for bringing awareness to things that upset me, or things that make me really happy. I would like to think both my process and my…[Read more]

Thought I’d share the 2nd days prompt on here! Y’all don’t have to, but for some I might.
This is for Jocelyn’s backstory
Well, my life was pretty great, until one of my best friend’s ended up being my beloved uncle’s murderer and then he  tried to frame me for it.Â

I’ve got mixed feelings on this and I think a lot of it has to do with different cultures and subcultures. For example, in Australia cursing is very prevalent and especially in my subculture (rural, farmers and dog trainers) it is even more so. Therefore I grew up hearing a lot of swearing (though my parents didn’t swear) and I’m not…[Read more]

@gracie-j Thank you for that rousing welcome!
It’s my little love letter to British mythology (which in turn inspired my article for this month). I’m keeping the main premise under wraps for now, but basically its about two brothers who are living in a fantasy world that was ruled by the Dark Lord for centuries, before he was…[Read more]

1. Idea
As in, sometimes I like the idea of writing more then I like actually starting.
2. Procrastinating
I think that speaks for itself….😂
3. Obsessed
Idk if this fits but I really am obsessed with writing and being a writer, despite the other two. I love when my writing actually seems good, and it seems to have gotten a lot better so…[Read more]

1. Overboard.
That’s too many ideas. No, no, stop. Why did you…stop getting new ideas. No. Stop. Why…why are you….why do you plan such extravagant things….
2. Scheduled.
Everything is carefully scheduled from the first day of the year to the last. Every project’s words are calculated, everything is plan…for one project.…[Read more]

GodlyFantasy12 replied to the topic What's the most recent book/movie you read/watched that has inspired you? in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years, 9 months ago
@kathleenramm Not sure. Not much changed with first 2 rewrites, just some updates, but the 3rd one was like a whole new story so it’d be good to read both (but u can definitely get bogged down in detail so ya may have to skip some in the original lol)
I got the series when I was young, Â and stopped reading cuz I got bogged down, so years la…[Read more]

A Time to Die wasn’t as good as Fawkes in my opinion, but it was her first published book and she obviously grew a lot. Over all, it wasn’t really my favourite, but I’d still like to read the sequels because I did like Parvin quite a bit.

Lin replied to the topic How Do Y'all Feel About… in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 9 months ago
@gracie-j This is quite the touchy subject among Christians. So things I’ve noticed about myself: I really don’t like it when authors overuse cussing in books, but I’m more ok if it’s a manga or Webtoon or something like that (probably because I’m too distracted by the images to really take in the words). I guess part of the reason why I gave up…[Read more]

So I’ve been looking at different writing softwares out there…I was wondering which ones you guys use? I’m looking for something free and off the web, and am currently considering Quoll Writer, Atomic Scribbler, and Wavemaker. I’ve been using Microsoft Word and spiral notebooks for a pretty long time, but since I’m planning on writing longer…[Read more]

Hello there! It’s been ages since I’ve seen you!
Shamefully, I’ve only read A Time to Die and Fawkes, I really enjoyed them both, but I still need to read the rest of the trilogy and Romanov!

I would be good friends with most of my main characters I think, though the more like me they are, the less I would get along with them :/ Which may be slightly concerning.
However, I definitely would get along very well with the main character of my current novel though. He’s heavily based on my own brother (who may or may not be…[Read more]

Probably Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson (the rewritten first 3, although I skimmed the 2nd one cuz it was never my favorite even originally lol)
The KK series is awesome wether u read the new first 3 book rewrites or all of the originals (I recommend doing both, except maybe with the 2nd book cuz only little things changed, and…[Read more]
