@everyone
So, I just realized yesterday that I think I’m using something different… Microsoft Word Online? Is that what everyone else has? I think it’s free.
Gotcha! Yeah, I’ve seen your doc on that website before. It seems to work pretty well, I just think I would prefer seeing my page count in a document for a first…[Read more]

@trailblazer @smiley @beth-torres
On the one hand, I recognize that God has given me a gift to write, and I want to use and grow that gift, but then on the other hand, writing takes a lot of mental space, and I feel like it’s so easy for me to get lost in a story I’m writing, and then I feel guilty when I see how much of my time it consumes whe…

Yep! We did a few weeks ago, which is really early for us xD. We usually wait until after Thanksgiving.

@everyone-who-replied
That’s interesting! Thanks! Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I know that Word is used more professionally, but most everyone I knew before Kingdom Pen who wrote stories used Docs. I had one friend who only used Word, but she was the most serious writer.
I might have to research the comments thing, but I just started leaving…[Read more]

That’s exactly what I feel, like ALL THE TIME!!! I’m glad I’m not alone, XD
Really?? That’s good to know, I guess XD. I j ust can get so involved in my writing and I really enjoy it, it worries me sometimes that I guess… I love it too much? XD But I’ve been praying about it, and I think like 98% of it comes from my OCD, so it…[Read more]

Hey everyone! Just curious–which do you prefer for your writing, and why? (And if use use another program, what is it?)
I used to use Google Docs, but when I started writing again I switched to Word. I don’t like how laggy Docs gets, but Word disappoints me sometimes. Mainly because I’ll leave comments and they disappear, and it only saves your…[Read more]

Great topic, Sara!! @jonas had a great point on that. It’s hard, but just try to remember that if God wants you to be published, He’ll make it happen. I don’t struggle as much with that fear because of self-publishing XD. I figure if I end up finishing some books, if no one wants them I’ll either just keep writing or publish…[Read more]

Do you know anything else about the character? How much of the book will he be in.
You could always try opening a blank doc and just talking to yourself about him… I usually am able to figure things out through just ranting and asking myself questions like that. I think it’s called an Everything Page?

Hi! How are you?-
Hey! Thanks for asking! I’ve been good. I’ve been struggling to find motivation to write, and kind of doubting myself, so writing’s slow. But otherwise, I’m great! I WAS at 23K….but then I HAD to screw up everything, so I started over and am now at 15K. How are YOU?

@hybridlore
I had a mentor tell me that my plot was all over the place. He “didn’t see where I was going” and it was “too depressing”. After reading that, I was depressed XD but then I sort of realized he was kind of right (as much as I hated to admit he was right lol), and decided to start over. It wasn’t completely starting over; I kept the same…[Read more] -

Of course! It’s been a while since I talked to you!
Oh, cool! Was it weird without a lot of family there? We’ve always lived really far away from my grandparents and cousins, so I don’t think we’ve ever had family over for Thanksgiving. But my mom’s parents and her brother’s family are thinking about moving out here soon.…[Read more]-

Hi! Thanks for asking, that means a lot 🙂
I have been pretty good, since we moved and left our family in CA we had Thanksgiving by ourselves and got to make everything from scratch. We decorated for Christmas today to XD Have you decorated yet?
My WIP is also going petty good I am at 59,500 words now and I should be done this month with the…[Read more]-

If you don’t send me a copy of your book………AHHH! I NEED MORE HUGO SCENES! I LOVE HIM!!!!!!! BUT I KNOW VIKKI DIES SO IT WILL BE SOOO SAD BUT I DON’T CARE I STILL WANT TO READ EVERY SINGLE HUGO SCENE!!!!!!!!!-
Lol!!!! I actually might not have Vikii die, Hugo seems to need her in his life. I honestly am thinking super hard about it though, my brother is all like “You better keep Vikii, Allison or I will give your book a one star review!” XD I know he really wont but the thought is hilarious. Ill try to post some scenes today…
-
oooh yessssssssssss! I actually think that Vikii dying might be a good character arc…unless of course it’s not necessary. Maybe she gets shot and ALMOST dies or something. that way they realize how important they are to each other. just a thought.
(btw, don’t be suprised if I gush over Hugo…I LOVE HIMMM!)
