How difficult is rewriting? Especially for an 80,000/100,000 word book? What advice do you all have?

Never have I ever even attempted to rewrite anything that long, but here’s my two cents anyway.

Rewriting is exhausting–physically and emotionally. After all, the reason we rewrite is to make our work better, right? It’s…[Read more]

@ethryndal @daeus @kate-flournoy @anyone else who’s done the whole rewriting thing.
So…I’m having a hard time deciding this. Writing in third person is really tough for me, and this favoritism thing might be a bit easier if I were actually writing from the POV of the introverts head. As I’m writing, I don’t like any of it. But I go onward.…[Read more]

Wow. Congrats and congrats again.

I’m toying with the idea of re-writing my WIP’s prologue. While incessantly re-reading everything Kate and I have discussed on my novel excerpt page.

@daeus How’s things?

@daues How’s things?

I am too. *throws schoolwork aside* @daeus @dragon-snapper @graciegirl

Excellent point @dragon-snapper

@that_writer_girl_99 Well, when there’s only one Dragon Snapper, you sometimes wonder what else there is to be afraid of. 😛
@graciegirl Yes, it’s just me. I won’t melt you. 😉

That was rather anticlimactic @dragon-snapper

@graciegirl @that_writer_girl_99 *flies in* Everyone, look out, it’s a dragon!
…
*glaces around for the dragon*
Oh wait, it’s just me. 😛

@hope Here is Sean…or was it Levi? Either way, not sure if it’s a likeness, but here he is anyway. 😛

You know, I’d be happy if this was for regular school, but I’m dual-enrolled. After I graduate, I’ll be doing this same stinkin’ stuff. No rest for the weary writer. @graciegirl

I’m working on a “short story” for my creative writing portfolio. Luckily, I’m almost done with it, but I still have math, Greek Mythology, and an American Literature final paper to start…*sighs*

@gracie-girl @kate-flournoy

Also…do I already have the Inciting Incident done? Is that what you meant? @kate-flournoy

@kate-flournoy *laughs* It was actually me who didn’t see your response, instead of the other way around. Wonder how I missed that…

No, this actually makes sense. I’m a little jarred by the fact that I somehow managed to do some of what you’re saying without even knowing it. Have you ever used a cooking utensil or something, and like, you know…[Read more]

*grimaces* hang on… @kate-flournoy

@kate-flournoy I responded to your questions on my excerpt forum, just to let ya know.

Life. Reality. I’m beginning to think that life is a Writer’s worst enemy. @kate-flournoy

@graciegirl The first character of yours that @dragon-snapper listed sounds really interesting! I’m always curious to see how others go about the concept of elementals.
