(Hmm… didn’t want to go through… I’ll try again.  Apologies if this duplicated *grins sheepishly*)

Hi Joy!  I learned a bit about writing resumes in a workbook from a writing class I took, and I wrote one for when I start submitting to magazines.

First suggestion would be to forgo fancy fonts or distracting designs; editors p…[Read more]

Hi Joy!  I learned a bit about writing resumes in a workbook from a writing class I took, and I wrote one for when I start submitting to magazines.

First suggestion would be to forgo fancy fonts or distracting designs; editors probably lean more toward a clean, clear, yet still visually appealing presentation.  @devestate-lasting m…[Read more]

Hi there!  Sounds like a cool story, and I love the character name November.  May I asked what inspired the story?

So, I read this over a few times, and here’s a couple suggestions to consider:

First off, the blurb part about Arabella felt a bit vague to me.  Who tasked her with this quest (and what is it specifically)?  Why doe…[Read more]

That’s so exciting that you’re getting a dog!  Do you know what kind you’re getting/hoping for?

I feel you with the self-educating on writing.  There are a lot of amazing sites and articles on how to hone your craft (as well as much needed encouragement.)

And what you’re saying about your main character totally makes sense.  A lot of…[Read more]

Hi there!  Welcome to Kingdom Pen!  I’m Lily.  We’re so glad you joined us.  That is a very cool premise for your WIP; and congrats on already reaching 60k words!  Have you signed up for KP’s newsletter?  Often times they’ll run a short story contest.  I haven’t tried entering yet, but it looks fun and when you’re in a writing slump…[Read more]

(Sorry this came late!)

What a beautiful story!  I love the bond between the two sisters.  You had a strong conflict and your details and showing were strong too.

There is one line that stood out to me that was a bit unclear:

“We’ve already talked about this. I’m sure. I need to do this.” I glance down, frowning at my sister’s…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Ooo, I love coffee.  Thanks!  And no problem.  Before you know it, you’ll be back to writing in no time!

And don’t worry.  My summaries are pretty cringe-worthy too.  I told a friend once that my WIP is about two siblings that rescue a phoenix *slams palm onto forehead*.  Of course, it’s more than that, but how can you captu…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms

Wow!  This is a lot of fun.  Thanks for starting this forum topic!  Unfortunately, I can’t think of a cool writer meme to share… yet.  Somehow the best ones I’ve seen left my head XD  Oh well.  It’ll probably come to me in the middle of the night!  🙂

Thanks for tagging me.

Haha!  I love that Frozen…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Hi there!  Sometimes, when I get writer’s block, I close my eyes and just try picturing the scene like a movie.  The first lines don’t have to be perfect.  Just write what you see/your character sees and feels.  Or summarize what you want to say, then expand each part, bit by bit.  For example, I usually get stumped on how to end…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Your very much welcome!  That sounds like a wonderful idea for a devotional.  I hope everything works out!  🙂

@godlyfantasy12

If your imagination is sparked with ideas, then yes, go for it!  I’d love to see what you come up with!  🙂

@joy-caroline (Oops!  Doesn’t look like it went through.  I’ll try again 🙂 ) That sounds like a wonderful idea.  Is there anything that God has laid on your heart lately, or taught you through His Word?  Perhaps you could draw a theme (or several themes) from that.  For example, lately, I’ve been learning to surrender everything to God’s plan…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl Your very much welcome!  And thank you!  I think your name is pretty too!  🙂

(I apologize if this ended up duplicated.  For some reason, my Chromebook didn’t seem to load properly)  🙂

@abigail-m

Ooo!  That cover is so pretty!

@mkfairygirl

Thanks!  My fingers are crossed for your story too!  And Theia is a beautiful name.  How old will she be?

Hmm.  I can’t think of a theme.  But if it helps, digging into your MC’s past, going over your plotting notes, etc, you might find inspiration for one.  Consider your MC’s flaws/goals and the story’s overall conflict.  Oftent…[Read more]

13,000 words!  That is awesome!

@issawriter7

Sure, I tell myself getting lost on Pinterest is actually “productive” 😉

That’s exciting to hear about your WIPs and query letter. *I have cookies to celebrate!*

My writing has been going well.  I’m trying out a short story idea.

And you’re so welcome!  I’m glad I could help :)…[Read more]

Hey Issabelle! (and everyone else!)  Sorry I sorta dropped off the face of the internet *embarrassed grin*.  I’ve been doing battle with some magazine submission guidelines, pesky boxes under the bed (who knew there was so much stuff to organize under there?!!), and stuff for school.

Anywho!  How have you been?  How’s life and wri…[Read more]
