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]

@kathleenramm Well, I’m in the middle of The Brothers Karamazov, and I haven’t quite finished it yet, so… Other than that, excluding all the manga and books I’ve read for school, the last book I read was… The Summer of the Swans, by Betsy Byars. It won a Newberry Medal. My favorite thing was how nostalgic I felt reading it. The copy I have i…[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! 😀

@writerlexi1216

Aww, that’s so sad and utterly adorable at the same time!
*High fives also*… I don’t think characters understand why we writers high-five about their scars, *sigh,* it’s hard explaining plot development to them… XD
Mejia got hers during her three-year trials in becoming a warrior and was from the claw of a white wolf that she…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Awesome topic!  Well, the first story I ever wrote (called “The Terres of the Man”) was about three animals: Wanna (I mean, what the heck??? XD) the horse, Carrie the anteater, and Joe the frog.  There is a “Mean Man” who kidnaps Joe and brings him to his cave, which is a “terres” in case anyone is interested. 🤦‍♀️  Wanna and Ca…[Read more]

@buildsbygideon Hey, that’s super cool! Yeah, I do that too lol. I’m really inclined towards other languages for some reason, I just love learning them or translating phrases, even. For a school project, I’m learning Japanese, and for a li’l mini project my mom wants me to learn how to say something (about like a paragraph of info-length) in…[Read more]

@buildsbygideon No problem! I most certainly will! 🙂
