Alexa Autorski replied to the topic Writing A Series in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 6 months ago
LET THE SHOW BEGIN! I’m looking forward to seeing what everybody posts here! As for me, one thing that I struggle with in writing a series is pacing (ugh), but I think I have a better idea of where to go from here 😉 Those tips you gave me were really helpful!

Ooh, thanks for the super helpful response! 🙂 I’ve actually subscribed to Abbie Emmons’ youtube channel! She’s really great at explaining/teaching a lot of writerly things, but I need to watch more of her videos about the 3 act story structure.
I’m still not sure how long I want my series to be (like, I don’t know if it’ll be a…[Read more]

@scrpter-of-kingdoms
Yellow is one of my favorites colors too XD And same here! I am a HUGE fan of not-quite-steampunk-but-definitely-inventory type things. My character, Anton is like that too. I was actually inspired by steampunk-related things to create his personality. He comes up with all the strange gizmos and inventions aside from his…[Read more]

Alexa Autorski replied to the topic I Feel Discouraged… in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 6 months ago
Aw, thank you, Linyang! This really makes me feel a whoooole lot better 🙂 I can tend to think about how far I have to go rather than how far I’ve come, so if I look at things that way, it actually makes me feel a lot more confident and motivated at all the progress I’ve made! This definitely makes me feel encouraged, so thank…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Aw, I get you! I feel that way sometimes as well! But when I do, usually I just pray and then move on and keep on working. And sometimes I look back at my old writing and am amazed at how far I’ve come…and also I think about my writing dreams! And how hard I have to work to get there…sometimes I show my stuff to others for…[Read more]

Thank you so much, Jen! That was a huge encouragement to me! Especially when you pointed out how I’m a better writer than I was yesterday… that helps me to really change my perspective on things. I tend to look at the future and how far I need to go to be a “good writer”, and instead I don’t look back at how far I’ve come. And I’ll…[Read more]

Alexa Autorski replied to the topic I Feel Discouraged… in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 6 months ago
Abigail, those words literally spoke to my heart (I don’t care if that sounds weird, but it’s the absolute truth). That was such an encouragement to me!! I guess I just got so wrapped up in thinking that I was the only writer who ever struggled this badly, so I started doubting myself/my writing. But to hear that other people (and…[Read more]

OH MY WORD, you don’t know how much this post helped me! Seriously, that post was just, like, a huge bundle of encouragement. I appreciate it so much! And I agree with 100% of what you said, and it even helped me to change my perspective on my writing and to not be so perfectionistic (and to think about how God feels about it,…[Read more]

Abigail.M. replied to the topic I Feel Discouraged… in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 6 months ago
As a matter of fact, this is my most common problem as a writer. I fall into the discouraged every-aspect-of-my-writing-seems-to-stink-especially-compared-to-so and so’s-writing.
I feel you all the way on this one. And I feel the same way about my beloved/hated WIP.
I recently watched some videos from a show (that I find a…[Read more] -

Thank you!! You’ve no idea how much it helps to hear you say those things <333 And I guess I’ve never really thought about it that way. I guess I thought that, if I was doubting my writing, then it was bad. But what you said makes sense! I super appreciate the kind words. Thank you! They mean so much 🙂

Alexa Autorski replied to the topic I Feel Discouraged… in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 6 months ago
Awww, thank you so much!!! <333 This brought a huge smile to my face 🙂 It makes me feel relieved that I’m not the only one who goes through this *sigh* so that’s like a huge weight off my shoulders.
I know exactly what you mean about getting bored with the story/characters. I’ve felt stuck because I keep re-reading scenes or…[Read more]

Alexa Autorski started the topic I Feel Discouraged… in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 6 months ago
The title says it all.
I told myself I wouldn’t post this, but… I needed to feel like I wasn’t the only one who ever asked themselves if their writing was “good enough.”
Long story short, I’ve been feeling like my writing is getting me nowhere, and no matter what, I criticize it tremendously. I begin to question my plot/char…[Read more]
