Thank you!

I’m neither person for the most part. I had planned on drinking coffee during NaNoWriMo, but surprised myself by making it through the first draft without it:)

As for pets, I have three cats, a few chickens, and a horse (I live on a farm), so pets were kind of inevitable:)

@abigail-m

Especially about ‘what ifs.’ I have heard about using that to come up with ideas, but never really thought of it that way before. And that is a great idea, having the love interest actually affect my MC’s goals and being…[Read more]

I’m almost ready to start the second draft of my novel entitled ‘The Snow Warrior’ and (sad but true) after fifty thousand words of writing, I still don’t have a plot. I can’t figure out what my MC’s overall goal is. I mean, I have plenty of subplots, supporting characters, villains, animals, themes, symbols, backstories,…[Read more]

Your book sounds awesome. It sounds like something I just read on the back of a dust jacket at the book store!

@joy-caroline

Your story sounds BEAUTIFUL!!!!!  Amazing work, coming up with it and sticking with it to the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@writerlexi1216

You’re welcome and you are definitely not alone with that struggle.

@writerlexi1216

You are definitely not alone in feeling like your characters seem the same personality-wise. That’s one of my biggest writing problems too.

I know it’s probably not much help with all the other great advice, but sometimes it helps to take a ‘test drive’ with my characters. It has helped me in the past. That is, putting the…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Sure, I can tell you a little about my WIP. I usually just don’t share explicits in my novel with anyone but don’t take offense, I hardly share that info with my cat:)

The main character’s name I haven’t decided on yet, so I always just refer to her as “my character.” It’s set mostly in the woods. I try to limit my cast of…[Read more]
