@jenwriter17  I know this a late response, but I have had this same “issue” (if you can call it that).  🙂  It has bothered me that I can’t get past a certain number of words for a story.  What I’ve come to realize is that I just need to write what is necessary.  If my story is finished in 30,000 words, so be it!  And the next round of editi…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  OH, gotcha!  I totally get it.  Thanks for your willingness.  🙂

There is some shuffling, then more silence.

“Brek, what—?”

The door bursts open.

@daeus Okay.  Thank you!  Its still helpful!

@sam-kowal You actually counted the number of turtles in Daeus’ signature? Impressive! 😀

And @mnvalentine , I’m sorry I’m getting back so late: I was on hiatus. 😐

@mnvalentine I cannot read it as of right now because I have to go, but I just wanted to tell you that I’ll beta-read the first chapter for you and get back to you on this. 🙂 If I’m writing tomorrow, which I hope to be, I’ll read it. 😀 But I liked the newspaper magazine article you included!

@jenwriter17 (And everyone else on here obviously) COME OVER TO CALIFORNIA OVER SUMMER!!!!!! PLEASE! I need to meet Kapeefers!

I mean, I might be in D.C. next summer, but it’s not for certain yet so don’t plan on it.

@jenwriter17 I think Daeus and Kate got it. Basically, make things more complex. A longer story, more in depth themes, more characters, conflicts, obstacles to overcome, and more live scenes. That being said, you can’t just tack that stuff on to a story that is short at its core. Otherwise the story will drag. Layer things on, and see how in depth…[Read more]

@itsastarrynight Thank you!  @daeus Do you have a little time to give me some advise on this?

@jenwriter17  I guess I just describe every scene in detailed, sensory language, and I have been working on adding more subplots.  I do struggle with creating complicated plots!

@alia @bekreations  *beam*  Thanks for bringin’ this back, guys!  I don’t know what to add, but…  🙂  *thumbs up*

@ariella-newheart  Why thank you.  🙂  And I love your version of Aspen!!!

@daughteroftheking
Kay would rather relive it.
She refuses to tell me what it was though…

Alexandria Evergreen (Alex) would rather talk about it.
Sneaking to the Northern part of Evergreen forest.

@sarah-Anson
Kay would sit in the cell with her worst enemy, Alice, and hope she doesn’t go insane. She doesn’t want someone she likes to hate her…[Read more]

@sarah-Anson I agree with @skredder @gh24682468999 @ariel-Ashira . Interview your character, write him in a different scene, flesh out your character.
But in edition something you could do for fun (though it will probably help) is to make a collage for him. I had to figure out somethings when I made my collages. Also got me excited about my book. 😋

@sarah-anson  One thing that helps me when I am having a difficult time picturing and understanding one of my characters is to write out a bunch of questions about them.  Like, what makes them cry?  What makes them laugh?  How do they react to different situations?  How do they change from the beginning of the book to the end, and what makes…[Read more]

@notawriter  Oh, I’m so glad you like her!

@sarah-anson  Those are epic!!!  🙂

@rochellaine Once and for all I am not heartless and neither are you!  Even God kills people when it will glorify him most, and he loves his creation even more than we love our characters!  Its the same way when we kill our characters.  

Howcome I don’t get a sidekick like Stan or Bobert or Evie?

@sleepwalkingmk @rochellaine I like Sobbin Women a lot.  Its especially funny after researching Roman stuff. 😀 I like Wonderful Day a lot too.  All thier songs are good though.  They have amazing voices!

@rochellaine Oh my…umm, I like Millie and Adam and Gideon a lot.  So many of them are funny though!  What is your favorite song? @sleepwalkingmk you too

Really, Rochellaine, killing characters is hard, but it can be good.
