@jenwriter17 Thanks!

@winter-rose I’m not sure what happened to your post…it seems to have vanished. 😕

@inkling-for-Christ Since your book is not yet finished, beta readers or a service like Jane Maree’s might be a good starting point for you before contacting an editor. 🙂

You might not be ready for someone like Brianna Hilvety whom Elizabeth recommended. Brianna is a professional editor and will charge for her services (as all reputable editors d…[Read more]

Here’s what I’d recommend. You don’t need someone to edit your whole book at this moment. You just need someone to help you with your writing style.

Instead of asking people to edit all 13 chapters, just pick one chapter and ask several people to help you edit it and, most importantly, explain their edits so you can replicate…[Read more]

@rochellaine Welcome!

I love Hogan’s Heroes. I must have watched 100 episodes. At least if feels like it. I like Newkirk and Carter the best. 🙂

I am sometimes more comfortable singing when there are strangers around than talking.

lol. I can totally relate. Even when they’re not strangers.

Would it be too bold of me to ask if you could share one…[Read more]

@leumeister I think somebody tried to do something like this in the past. I’m not sure if it ever happened though.

I think the main downside to it is the time factor. When you can chat with video and live text, you tend to chat a lot more, which many of us don’t have time for.

I could see it as an augment to the forum in some capacity though.

Hi @skredder! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet.

You like mysteries? What’s the best one you’ve read?

@inkling-for-christ Are you looking for editorial advice from fellow peers or a professional editor? As one fellow author to another, I highly recommend hiring a professional editor if you intend to pursue a career in writing. Editors clean up your work, not only fixing grammar, but making sure your wording is clear and concise and getting rid of…[Read more]

@rochellaine no no, it’s fine. XD

Longfellow has some really great stuff. Tennyson too, though I haven’t read as much of it. Mostly just The Lady of Shalott. ;P

@rochellaine welcome to the bestistest place on the internet! I love singing too. 😀 Do you like poetry? Do you know your MBTI type? What’s your favorite genre?

@winter-rose I use the mighty, mighty Canva.

@that_writer_girl_99 *stares in awe* Those are so amazing…

Ah! The Ren ones are so good!

@that_writer_girl_99 Awesome! 😃

@jenwriter17 It’s funny that you chose a person in a cave as the subject since I actually wrote a scene with a character in a cave (except it wasn’t at night).

Challenge: Show

Setting: a character in a deep cave at night

I swung my backpack off my shoulder and fumbled for a flashlight. I dug out a notebook, a germ gel bottle, two hairpins that…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 Do the thing and show us. 😀

@that_writer_girl_99 Go right ahead. 🙂

@itisastarrynight Your book sounds epic. 🙂

@that_writer_girl_99 I do (we’ve had some other collages in this thread that were from movies). 😃

@jessi-rae Thanks! 🙂

@mariposa I like that! 🙂

@that_writer_girl_99 Oh, yes! Absolutely! 😀

Okay. Goals. Resolutions.

I have resolved to get on this topic.
There.

Goals.

• I’d like to finish the sequel of Sector One.
• Edit the second draft of Sector One to make it a third draft.
• Practice writing query letters and synopsyseses…(D.G. That’s not how you spell that… Quiet! *melts chair*)
• Ahem. Also to write Dragonfly Kiwi.
