Thank you so much for the compliment and the ideas!!!  I love all of them, especially 4 & 5 (TOTALLY agree on five, lol).

I’m also trying to come up with ideas for the annoyingly murky middle…  I have a pretty good idea of how to write the end (and you gave me even more–better–ideas!!),  but I’m really struggling with adding more…[Read more]

Awesome job, you’re doing amazing!!!

First sentence:

Hours have gone by and I’m still in the darkness.

Last sentence:

The chill mountain air refreshes my lungs like a drink of cold water on a parched throat.

total of 2236 words today!  I’m exhausted, lol!! 🤣

How’d y’all’s writing go today?

@abigail-m, @writerlexi1216

I also thought it’d be fun to share our first and last sentences we write each day.  Here’s mine:

I hurry over the rocks so my shoes don’t get wet, but Magnus splashes through the stream, shaking the water from his long coat on the opposite bank.

Hey Lexi, just wanted to let you know that if you want, you can join me and Abigail on our Camp NaNo April group.  I think I sent you an invite.  If you don’t want to, that’s totally fine, np.  Just wanted to let you know! 😀

@kathleenramm

Awesome!!  What genre is the story?

@kathleenramm

Hey!  I’m actually writing rn.  As of now, I’ve written 1048 out of my goal 2414 (for Camp NaNo).  What about you?

@writerlexi1216

Yes, I love them!!!  I haven’t read them in a while, but I’m pretty sure they’re all as good as the first one.

I just finished reading Keeper of the Lost Cities, book #1.  It’s so nostalgic, lol!!  I love it sooo much!!!!!  I’m going to try to read the whole series again.

@kathleenramm

I like to fill out character sheets for my MCs, but I always have a main motivation, dream, hate/love, and arc for all my characters.  I usually try to develop my MC before developing the world they’re in (is that good or bad?) because I want them to be active rather than passive.  I jot down what I know about the character then I b…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I’m pretty sure that works for me.  I’ll just be writing on and off for the rest of the day, so I’ll hopefully catch you around! 😉

@abigail-m

Cool!!  We should write together for motivation/to keep each other focused!  (at least for me, lol!)

@abigail-m

Just about to start!!  Your WIP is awesome!

@abigail-m

Awesome!!  When will you be writing today?  I’ll probably start some outlining soon.

@mkfairygirl

Aw, thanks, and no problem!!

@kathleenramm

I’m so sorry, as soon as I wrote that, my parents wanted to do something together and I sadly couldn’t write…  Can we do it sometime today?  Whenever you’re free.  (btw, was your writing time productive?

@abigail-m

YAY!!!  I’ve been stalking NaNo for a while, so if y’all want, I can set up a group…?  I like groups because you can claim/earn badges and update your writing count for everyone to see, which is fun imo, haha!  so lmk if you want to do that.  (and btw, thanks sooo much for the compliment!!)

@scripter-of-kingdoms

That was fast, lol!!  EEEK, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  it looks EXACTLY like i imagined!!!!!!  I’m SO ready to start writing now, LOL!!!  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! 😃😃😃❤

@writerlexi1216

Don’t worry about!!  I’m so glad you got to write today, that’s awesome!!!  We should totally do it tomorrow… I do realize it’s late in a lot of places rn.  I like doing it with others because it helps stay motivated while you do it.  i love your tagline too!!
