So thank you for the warning, but I just re-read everything and fangirled over your characters all over again!! I mean, seriously, this sounds like my kind of book, which I don’t say very often!! 🙂 You’ve crafted such an incredible, full-of-life world that sounds like such an interesting setting for a story (I adore winter themes) and…[Read more]

@abigail-m

So relatable… I spent over half my ‘writing time’ actually editing and not writing, which is why NaNo sounded super helpful to me. I can’t wait to start! 🙂 I’m really glad I have these tips (and quotes) as a prep, too!

@abigail-m

I know! It’s such a temptation! *takes deep breath* *moves finger away from all caps button* Of course! I think it sounds super interesting and not the typical romantic boat ride that you see all the time XD Oh, that’s so frustrating about writing hate-to-love romance… Newton and Caira won’t stop bickering and I’m just calmly sitting…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

THANK YOU SO MUCH TOO!!!
(Curse that all caps button for being such a temptation to use all the time XD ).
Seriously though, I appreciate it:) Yeah, the boat ride was awkward, (but surprisingly extremely fun to write). It’s hilarious/sometimes sweet/frustrating when they bicker and get at each other because I know that they will…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

I understand exactly what you mean. I can write a fifty-word dialogue exchange, then mull over it for a half-hour wondering all the ways I could edit it. So yep, NaNoWriMo is a nice break from editing:)
No problem, it’s the least a fellow WriMo-er can do to warn you of the upcoming month!

So as I said, I probably monologue talk/intro some about my five primary characters a bit.

The protagonist of TSW is Mejia, (whom I still have to invent a Russian variant of that name for *sigh*…)
She is right up there in the top characters for complicated/tragic pasts and one of the strongest characters of TSW. She is a sixteen-year-old…[Read more]

@joy-caroline @daisy-torres

Thank you!! 😀

@writerlexi1216

Precisely! And that’s true, I guess that when the good things happen to them, it’s even better because of how much it will contrast to them suffering, (*puts hands up in defense as my characters glare at me*).
*Whew* I’m glad it wasn’t un-legible. I love wolves too, and they fit in pretty nicely Birch Woods. Thank you incredibly…[Read more]

@Abigail-m

Awww, THANK YOU! Really, all of your feedback makes me feel so warm inside and really makes me smile!! 🙂 I’m sooo happy you love it!! Aww, I feel so sorry for Filip! He seems like such a sweet character.

And *trying super hard not to write in all caps but failing miserably* THAT SCENE SOUNDS SO AMAZING!! *Whoops…* I absolutely love…[Read more]

So I wrote an informally structured haiku about writing and decided to share it here:)

Write. Write a story,
And find its worth, then draw a
line and shake the earth.

@abigail-m

Exactly!! XD I feel like I have such an awkward relationship with my characters because, while I love them, I’m responsible for them suffering all the time… *sigh* But I guess that only makes the happy ending more happier, so it isn’t all terrible.

And no, it wasn’t messy at all! I understood it perfectly, and *gasps* I adore…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Of course!! Your posts are always helpful!! 🙂 Yay, finally I don’t have to edit all the time! *Whew!* That sounds bad, but I’m a nut when it comes to editing right after I type, so it feels good to ditch that for a while and focus on getting new words down instead. I’m glad you’re looking forward to it, too! I’m super optimistic about…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

NP! It’s perfectly fine and honestly, it didn’t take you all that long.
*Wipes perspiration from forehead* Whew! I’m glad that it was helpful!
And YES! This is one sport where making messes is highly encouraged because you never know what awesome stuff can become of it! 😀 And one of the few rules that WriMo has is no editing…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

So true, (but I don’t think they believe me *sigh* oh well, I guess that it’s just a tradition for writers and their characters to be on these kind of terms XD ).
Thank you! Looking back, the post looks a little messy, but yep, wolves play a lot of roles in the novel, (defeinetly an intense scene. But it’s written as a flashback…[Read more]

@Abigail-m

I’m so very sorry it took me this long to reply, but I just finished reading this and this was absolutely wonderful advice! Thank you so much for compiling these tips for me, because, as a beginner, I’m accepting of any advice on how to survive my first NaNoWriMo. I loved every point!

And that was very reassuring to know that it’s…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Oooh, great! I did start the first chapter already, and… before I go on, let me just say OH MY GOSH GRACE YOU’RE SUCH A TALENTED WRITER! I seriously love everything about it so far, and please don’t take my lack of reading as a sign I haven’t enjoyed it. My schedule is really busy, that’s all. But I can’t wait to meet him 🙂

And…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Thank you!:) I know… my characters would hate me if they knew everything I’ve put them through… *sigh* but it’s for their own good in the end!

Whoa, that backstory is so interesting!! I had no idea that’s how (yikes, a wolf sounds intense)!! And I love the idea of the trials in order to become a warrior–I can just smell the…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

So very true. 🙂

@devastate-lasting

Ooh, I love that! “Frost day”, that’s so poetic:)  Yeah, that is cool that we both have Adrain characters! 😀
