@jenwriter17 I’m here! In the car with my computer and getting Starbucks.

@millenium Hiya! So I’m having a bit of that problem too!! So rn what I’ve decided to do is take a step back from the first draft I started and make a document (or whatever) solely devoted to writing down everything I know about my story in order of events. As I’m doing this, new ideas come because i get to parts where u don’t know what’s…[Read more]

@gravie-j @devastate-lasting @r-m-archer @issawriter7 @anyone-else

Hey so, I’m having a bit of a problem and not sure how to fix it. I love writing, like I’m obsessed with it, but at the same time I just can’t seem to make myself write. Does that make any sense? (And yes sometimes I like the idea more then actually doing it)

I don’t think i…[Read more]

@r-m-archer Yea that’s probably where it’s gonna end up in the end. Thru the 5th and 6th books I think there’ll be a lot more conflict on almost all the characters but I do think it will end up in that position at the last book

@gracie-j

Great tips!! Thx!! Also, I do know that November’s overprotection does end up blinding him (he “betrays” the group but doesn’t mean to. He does it to protect Ara.)

@gracie-j YESS THANK U!! And yes, both guys get POV. By the end of the series I have 7-8 POVs. I think 7.

And yes my other guy is actually a bit broody lol!

November’s a very sweet, adorable protective guy. He’s kind and would die for Arabella.

Grimm (my other character) lives in the past and is filled with guilt because his baby sister was mur…[Read more]

@gracie-j

@gravie-j Oh nice!! So sometimes I’m a bit be distant on these topics because there’s so much junk in the world with this topic.

But I could definitely use some tips cuz it is not my forte.

So I have a character who has a crush on his best friend, but I wanna be able to portray it where she doesn’t know, and doesn’t know till later. I don’t w…[Read more]

@abigail-m Yea that’s understandable. To help in-depth I’d need to know a bit more about the story, but I understand u may not want to tell all of that.

So I say just let your imagination do the work! I know, for me, I come up with a lot of ideas while listening to music. Also, talking about it to someone also helps. I’ve found sooooo many times…[Read more]

@scoutfinch180 Just remember (because I’m still learning this myself) u don’t have to follow what everyone says. Make your book the way u want it! It’s yours! Some ppl are against prologues but I felt my book needed one, because the first chapter just wasn’t gonna cut it and I think it works wonderfully!

So just try it out! If u find it’s no…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Oh. My. Word.

That sounds so incredible!! Like, it sounds like a movie or something!! That is amazing!!!

@scoutfinch180

Fake deaths….hmmm. Can’t say I’ve ever written one, but I think I can give some tips.

You can kinda do it in multiple ways.

1. They faked their own death. For some reason. Maybe it was the only way Fabian could get his message out? Or perhaps he thought it would help protect himself or someone else? If u go this route, whe…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 You’re so welcome!!

So I made a goodreads profile! Same username. Not sure how to search for ppl on there

@writerlexi1216

So, as for the first thing, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Those two characters do seem pretty different, and you can fix/refine things in later drafts (unless you’re in later drafts so maybe get some beta readers to help you know if characters are too similar or don’t have distinct voices)

As for the other issue…

Tip 1:…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Wow thanks so much for the incredible advice!! Love it!! And ur characters are sooo well built! Wow!!

@writerlexi1216

What are u wanting help on? Or are I wanting help at all lol

Yea I tried changing writing this first draft, so now I’ve moved onto the middle. Cuz there was a scene I wanted to write so I started it and I think it’s going pretty well.

@gracie-j @nova21 @e-k-seaver @devastate-lasting @issawriter7

Hey, so does anyone else ever enjoy the idea of writing more then the writing? Maybe that’s just me, but I’ve been struggling to write. I want to write, but still struggle with actually doing so. Idk if it’s just not fun, or if it’s because it doesn’t seem as great as I’d like it. Id…[Read more]

@rochellaine
