@Dekreel hey!! *waves*

@Rochellaine Okay! See you in the future. 😉

@Seekjustice alrighty, friend. See you another time!

Welcome @Catwing ! Haha nice music choice. 😛

@That_Writer_Girl_99 you’ve already got tons of advice and all that, but if you ever need specific tips or anything, hit me up! (I’ll probably respond faster on facebook than here though, to be honest :/) I do archery (started a few years back on a 20 lb and can now shoot 60+ lb) and have used recurve, long bow, and compound. I’ve made my own…[Read more]

@SeekJustice I’m doing some plotting for a new story (eeep) since I finished edits on my other WIP yesterday. 🙂

@Jenwriter17 ahh no, that’s not good. Definitely praying, friend. <3

@ingridrd Aaaah I love superheroesssss.

@rochellaine @seekjustice *pokes head in* I liiive. Are you folks still writing?

@reagan-ramm Ooh, good idea. I recently watched a few of your videos on facebook, and they’re great! 😀

• Focusing while I’m writing (not getting distracted w/ internet or other things)

@Ethryndal I have actually had this problem before in the past. Basically, I second what Elizabeth has said. Don’t push yourself to keep writing while you’ve got this big problem. Sit back and work it out.

– What do you actually want the main theme to be?
– Can you revise the characters and their arcs and actions to fit that theme more…[Read more]

@Jenwriter17 Yeeah I just don’t think they actually have any good chemistry. Sure they could like each other, but an actual relationship…wouldn’t work out, in my opinion.

So…I can understand why this would be a problem, and though I’m not entirely sure what the answer is, I can offer a few thoughts and maybe they’ll help? Or not?

It kinda sounds like you’re pressuring yourself to figure this out quickly, so I’d suggest slowing down. Sit back and look at the story. Maybe go through your book and write down how…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien Oh goodness. Yep. Pretty much.

@Jenwriter17 I like Han, but if 70 year old Harrison Ford played young Han I would be happier. XD

Okay so maybe this new actor dude won’t be too bad? I don’t know. I’m just reserving judgement until I see the actual movie.

As for Rey and Kylo…no offense to anyone, but I absolutely don’t like them together. 😉

@Jenwriter17 as Elizabeth said, the plot points of writing a movie script is the same as a fiction novel. And as Rochellaine said there’s a lot of different people who take part in the storytelling.

My #1 tip: imagine every single word you write as happening in a movie. If you can see it perfectly in the movie style, then write down the small…[Read more]

Tell her to come check us out, I’m sure she could learn something. *grins*

@rochellaine gave a pretty good answer as to what the differences are, but I’d like to point out that there are also many similarities between fiction writing and screenwriting. The plot points are the same, though they happen over shorter periods of time, and ideas like…[Read more]

@dekreel Amen, sister.

I wonder when I’ll stop doing that. Because I’m always doing it. Sometimes, I make myself higher than others, and sometimes I have to bury my head in a pillow.

*instead of petting you, offers you a non-melted chair*

Just remember, that God made you unique, special and loved. Writing does not become your identity. It’s…[Read more]
