@winter-rose Breaks? What are those? Who has time for breaks? XD

I do leave a project for a little bit when I’m done with it, but I never actually take a break from writing because I’ve several projects going at a time. To get a good perspective on a manuscript, yes… taking a break for a few weeks or months (I’ve heard months is good but have…[Read more]

@daeus This book comes highly recommended. 😀 Though… I don’t have time for a page by page beta reading like I did last time. I should be able to read it through in a month and jot notes on each chapter or anything plot or character wise that catches my eye if that works for you.

As for a manuscript swap… even if it wasn’t taken, 170,000 is a…[Read more]

Sorry to hear that. 🙁 I will pray. ❤️

I half agree with you @dragon-snapper. If you work on a new project during your break, I think it’s fine though.

@winter-rose Breaks aren’t absolutely necessary, but they are really helpful. If you feel like your work is a sloppy mess, it’s more likely that you need a break from it. But I don’t think that means you have to keep it from your alpha reader. What you might do is just let her read it and give you her thoughts, but don’t look at her thoughts until…[Read more]

@northerner Thanks 🙂
@his-instrument Are you talking about The Prince of the Barbarians?
@lifeofkatie Sure, well, it’s all up to you. At the moment, I don’t feel any particular need for another beta-reader, but if it’s something you’d want to do, I’d be more than glad to get your feedback. Each new perspective notices something nobody else did.…[Read more]

@daeus I apologize for all the typos in the previous comment. Its not a code saying that I’ve been kidnapped, as it would be of i had sent a typo-infested text to a family member. I’m just typing on my phone, and silly old Autocorrect thinks it knows what I’m trying to say better than I do.

@daeus I’d love to help, and as school doesn’t pick back up until August 22, now is the perfect time for me to get something done in a month. Your story sounds fascinating!
My WIL is not completed. Its an I it 60,000 words long, but I still would really love some feedback on it, even if you only do the first 20,000 words or so, because I’m so…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Yes, that’s fine.

@northerner Eh, yeah. I wish I could. 🙁

Medieval details? Seriously? I would actually love that.

@dragon-snapper So it will be around 80,000 words. Yeah, that sounds perfectly doable. Sign me up. 🙂

@theliterarycrusader Oh! If the handout is going to be available, don’t even worry about it! I wasn’t expecting it for a few weeks yet.

*caw* *caw* A raven swoops down upon the castle and releases a dwarf courier rabbit from its talons. After hitting its poor head on a stray volleyball and bouncing up in the air again, it hops aimlessly about until someone notices it. Then it hops around your left leg twice and stuffs a scroll…[Read more]

Welcome to the site, @allison-grace! Glad you found us. 🙂 Our monthly topic for September is going to be about fantasy, so we should have a bunch of articles that month that you should find helpful. What attracts you the most to the fantasy genre?

@RJK not a problem. 🙂 Just go back to the main forum, click on the forum at the top that says ‘Start here’ and make yourself a topic.

@rjk Just enter one. Sometimes people enter more than one and I just pick my favorite to enter for the voting by the writing team members. But yes… one, generally. 😉

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I can give you until 8:00. 🙂 Heading over there now.

Psst. Elizabeth. @That_Writer_Girl_99. What? Am I needed over on Brainstorming?

Welcome, welcome, and thrice welcome, @Allison-Grace! I newly became a Ydubber myself. 😀 And fantasy is my genre of choice as well… at least, I’ve written more in that than in other genres. 😉 What’s your favorite thing about writing, if you can choose? And what are some of your favorite books?
