All of these memes are basically my writing life in a nutshell XD And that last one though… that’s so me

*raises hand in the air and waves it wildly* Oooh, oooh, pick me, pick me!! *jumps up and down* I’d be happy to read your first chapter, if you’d like! Now, I can’t promise I’ll be very quick (because, you see, I read books at about the speed of a sloth, so if you’ll excuse me) but I will read it whenever I have the free time and g…[Read more]

I took the poll a few days ago, I just forgot to post. Sorry about that, but it was really cool.

@gracie-j

So just to let you know, I re-read these posts and you just gave me an absolutely fabulous idea for my characters that I never thought of before *rubs hands together with a mischievous laugh that my poor characters can’t hear*. Thanks so much!

@gracie-j

WOOO! I could totally see a trilogy working great for them, too! 🙂 (And I love them to pieces and want to write about them forever, so there’s that).

I was sort of hesitant that people may think that was too young, but I’m glad to hear that you think it’s fine. Neither of them really act their age at all because of all the things…[Read more]

That is all so so true. In fact, as I read your post, my mind came up with two anger and several great mistake and necessity kisses that were as you said, contingent or more of a beginning than an end. For me, I guess it all depends on the couple.
What I meant was more of the ‘declaration’ type kiss being the climax-to-end (since one of…[Read more]

Girl, thank you for this!!! I agree that hate-to-love needs to be dragged out (but not too long so that it’s boring) so that it isn’t cringeworthy, y’know? And I’m starting to think about turning my duology idea into a trilogy, because I think I’d have enough storyline and conflict. Which would be perfect for developing Caira and N…[Read more]

XD So relatable X)

I just read @gracie-j ‘s post and agree completely with point 1#

@nova21

Ah, so true, so true. It is extremely excruciating when an author drags out the something/nothingness forever and untactfully. Especially under the “just friends” excuse.

A good romance is so hard to balance and it’s just as hard to drag out as it is to not drag out.
My favorite romances are usually in stand-alone books because the…[Read more]

Awwww, I’m sorry not all of the eggs hatched!! But I’m happy that four of them did!! 😀 I’m sure they’re adorable! *tries really hard not to melt at the thought of cute cuddly ducklings* Ahhh, those names are perfect! Oh, I remember Jeffery-effery! He was sooooooo cute! *puppy eyes*

Oh, I like English too! My fave subject…[Read more]

Ugh, I have this same problem with writing romance. One of my subplots is a hate-to-love romance between my main character and one of her former enemies. But does anybody have any tips on pacing a hate-to-love romance? I know that having them somehow fall in love in the first book would be way too forced and cringy, but what about the second book?…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Good advice!  You don’t seem like the most romance-y type, lol!!! 😂  Good point about subplots 👍

@e-k-seaver

I totally agree with you about 14 yr. olds, haha!  Sounds good, thanks for the advice!
