Welp. Tomorrow is the start of November, meaning I really gotta get in gear starting tomorrow with my writing.

Wish me luck! And if anyone has ideas on how to stop procrastinating, or just some encouragement that’d be great lol.

I’m thinking if I can maybe world build one location using the…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I believe I posted the synopsis for the standalone on either my first post (called Hola! 😂) or the WIP Chat post.

@kathleenramm

They’re in my standalone novel. Hoping to finish the first draft of it in November.

Tempest is the main character and narrator. Reven is her best friend. Almost like a little brother to her.

Hmm. Probably the idea stage. That part when you get an incredible idea or story, or something to add to ur story. Or when you have those AHA moments that ties everything together so beautifully!! Just coming up with characters and those ideas and themes is so much fun and freeing. Especially…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I will indeed be repetitive and say music XD. I have a very vivid imagination and just listening to music and imagining worlds and characters….it’s just so incredible. It’s a bit hard to explain. It just gives me joy, especially when it’s something your like “OH MY WORD!! That makes sense!!!” Or a brand new character or idea.

Al…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Thx! But yea that’s a lot of words and books!

So my plan (I hope it works out) is to finish the first draft of my standalone by the end of November or start of December. Finish my worldbuilding and summary for book 1 of my series before the end of December, and that way I can start outling for the 2nd book in more depth and s…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

K I got some music recommendations somewhere above (or on the previous page) if ya wanna look!

As for 7 books, I knew I wanted it to be a fairly long series, maybe around 7 but I first just planned for 5 as a starting number and then decided “hey let’s go for 7”

Plus that’s better for the story anyway.

I like both of those s…[Read more]

WAIT!!!

change Ara’s! She’d prefer her crush hate her I think cuz she’s not crushing on anyone at this point in time XD.

@gracie-j @devastate-lasting

These questions tho!!

ok. Let’s see.

Ara: Singing in opera

November: Spoon on nose

Jocelyn: spoon on nose

all 3: Ice cream bathing  mmm peanut butter.

Ara: Mistletoe

November: Mistletoe

Jocelyn: MistleFOE

Ara: Soooooo she’d hate the first choice, but if we’re talking main villain she’s a girl. But if we’re…[Read more]

@gracie-j

So longest I’ve written is a little over 50,000 words (in a first draft of a series I’m not currently working on. And some of those words we me just trying to make the word count so I’d add things 😂😂)

@devastate-lasting

Goodness!!! 3 million?! And 10 years?! Wow!! You are definitely committed!

and nice synopses!

I hope this next…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Nice and awesome summary!!

Goodness your writing just in that is incredible!!

I have a summary for my standalone (or synopsis. Whatever lol.) and a logline. They aren’t perfect obviously.

I have a sorta logline for the first series book too, and a working series name (just so I can call it something other then #SecretProject, which i…[Read more]

@gracie-j @leon-fleming

XD!!

I think Jocelyn and Ara would babysit two toddlers but November might choose the house sitting (although he’d do whatever Ara wants to do or wants him to do lol)

And none of them would change their name. Well. Maybe November 😂

@lewilliams

Hiya! And thx, but no thx on the green tea *holds up hot cocoa*. Personally I prefer peppermint (with lots of sugar and cream!)

As for how long….oof.

Since I was little I know. But I may not have ever actually called it fantasy. Idk 😂 I know I used to draw stories in my notebooks when I was little and then started actually wanting…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

I like watching Authortube (YouTube but Author or writer videos lol) it gets me inspired and motivated. Also music sometimes.

I was pantsing for the one series, and got to the 2nd draft and was like “I’m a bit sick of this”

So now I’m trying to outline. It seems have to have helped some for my standalone. But that could j…[Read more]

Hey, so does anyone have any worldbuilding tips? I’ve got a Scrivener template I’m using for worldbuilding but it’s just….not the most fun thing in the world.

im such a procrastinator 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m also working on a sorta long summary for the first book. I wanna get that done, worldbuilding done, and finish the first draft of my standalone before…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

Ooh! Nice!

@devastate-lasting

Interesting! Especially intrigued by that first one!

So the fantasy world is kinda like ours in that there are multiple lands (but the way they’re laid out, having almost no connections sometimes with each other, it’s more like different worlds within a world)

So for example, in the first book, using a portal (unless som…[Read more]

@gracie-j

imma do different characters too

Grimm would prefer the cold (because he’s lived in a cold area his whole life)

Luna would probably prefer rainforest and Paxton would prefer the cold mountain because he’s lived near, on and in mountains for his whole life. Or what he’s had of a life (he’s a kid lol)

@devastate-lasting

Ara would p…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Hmmm

let’s make one! BRB 😂
