Alrighty! So abt the draft thing: I have basically the ideas of Jodi Maile, so thank you for putting this into words.
So for book beginnings, I have opinions very similar to Ted Decker’s. To begin a book, it depends on the writers style and choice of course, but I’m just throwing options and things I typically use. Jumping into the…[Read more]

Jodi Maile replied to the topic Questions on drafts and beginnings… in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 4 months ago
Ugh, I totally understand this struggle. I think @devastate-lasting put things well when she said to just go back and leave notes about what you want to change. This will help, since you won’t be taking the time out of writing to actually change those things yet. I always want to go back and change things, since I have a very…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Me, I write my first drafts as how I expect my story to be, except really really in need of editing. That is, when I’m on paper. My paper things aren’t good enough to be shown to the world. On PC I just write and try to aim for quality.
First draft I think means the first time you write a story through before you edit it. And I think…[Read more]

relia started the topic Anyone want character art? in the forum Art 3 years, 5 months ago
I’m trying to get back into doing art more regularly, so I was wondering if anyone wanted a character drawn? (I could also do landscapes or buildings, but I’m best at people. Also better at girls, but I could use some practice drawing guys as well.)
Just give me a description, (photo reference would be appreciated if you have any,) and I’d love…[Read more]

Alexa Autorski started the topic Writing the Climax in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 5 months ago
Hallo, friends!
So… I’m a little stuck. On one of my novels, I’ve hit the climax, where all the suspense, tension, and mystery finally comes together and brings the whole novel to a close. It’s the huge, ah-ha moment for the characters, and the satisfying yet tense moment for the reader. But the thing is, how do you properly execute the c…[Read more]

Hi y’all! So, wasn’t sure where to put this, but my church and I use these little bible study booklets called Into His Marvelous Light, and I wondered if anyone would be interested in being taught this Bible study? It’s simple and will give me good practice for doing it online and in my own words too. If you want to, let me know by simply replying…[Read more]

Day after day thinking about you
Wondering if this haunts you too
Do you care as much as I do?
Or am I just another face?
Waiting to see you again
Knowing any time could be the end
If you move on what would I do?
Nothing left to hold on to
Thoughts racing as I try to fall asleep
Are you lying awake thinking about me?
Or are you sleeping…[Read more] -

I dare you to post the very last sentence you’ve wrote in a story with no context.
And no cheating!
I know it’s tempting to quickly write an eloquent sentence before participating but DON’T! Be 100% honest and post the very last sentence you wrote. (Unless there is anything inappropriate of course).
Okay, I’m going to tag some…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Nice! No, actually. I’ve heard of them, but haven’t read them yet.
Hmm…that is a hard question!! Well, I really like Rupert from Ashtown Burials and Padra from Mistmantle, and Fitz and Keefe from KotLCs!
And as far as my characters go prob Jaylin from my book and Estella from my current short story.
