@that_writer_girl_99 More for metric pattern, but either one.

@introvert_girl Sam really said it already, but you can also add a backstory to show why the character acts the way they do. The overall tone of the story will help too. I think though that the most important thing is proactivity, like Sam said.

@pickupyourpenandwrite

I write for two reasons.  1) Because I believe the Lord can work through words and that the words we speak and write have power.  2) I write because I have to.  What else would I do with all these insane, lovely ideas swirling around in this head of mine?  Not that ideas are a burden buuut…*glares at all my WIP…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper First of all, nice example. 🙂

I don’t think that it’s too dismal by itself. Even a lot of that can be good. It creates tension, you know.

It just takes a little bit of hope to keep the reader on the right track. Simple things too. Depression works because it pretends to be immense. Little, pleasurable, “childish” (quote on…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99  *tackle hugs you*  Love you to bits, my dear.

@dragon-snapper We’ll I think you’re the first to ever reveal their name after hiding it for a long time. It’s kinda funny too because Danielle has a really soft feel to it which…doesn’t exactly make me think of a dragon. lol. Don’t burn me with a ball of flame, please! I like the name. It starts with a Da, after all. What more could you ask for?

@that_writer_girl_99 Seems hard to believe it’s only been a year. Feels like you’ve been a part of this for much longer than that. 🙂

@dragon-snapper *drops jaw* Did you just reveal your…actual name?

@That_writer_girl_99 I’m feeling slightly sentimental like you’re leaving, but you’re celebrating the fact that you’re not leaving. I find that utterly fascinating. Write that down somewhere. Happiness can be sad.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 wow… has it really almost been a year? 😛 Time flies.

Hey, I happily take the credit for all those terrible (awesome) things if it means I helped you grow even the tiniest bit. Thank you. I’m glad. Keep going. 😉

Step #1: Post the FB page link here so we can follow you. 😀

Step #2: Make sure it’s linked on your blog, and possibly include a link to it in your welcome email sequence for new subscribers (assuming you have a mailing list).

Step #3: My personal approach has been to be posting writing or reading related statuses 4-5 days a week, and then as…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper well without actually knowing what the story is about or what you are trying to achieve, I think its good. I mean, a little bit of dismal is good for a story. It pulls at the empathy cord in your readers.

@that-writer-girl-99 thank you muchly. 😊

HC

@dragon-snapper haha I know. I told him “Ah, but I have a lot of stories.” 😂

Awesome! Ugh, I hate editing. I have half an edited book on my desktop right now. In procrastinating over finishing. I just wanna be an author without the editing. Lol

HC

@Sam-kowal oh good because I have a lot of stories but not all of them can be made to fit in a normal length chapter.
