Oooh, I LOVE THIS!!!! I COMPLETELY understand about listening to all the writing tips and stuff. I was recently getting kind of down ’cause my stories just didn’t always sound like my own writing voice ’cause I was letting all the advice become the sole way to write and it just wasn’t fun anymore. So when I started working on my…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Hahaha

That’s hilarious 😀

@joy-caroline

Oooh, LOVE THIS IDEA!! I’ve actually done something quite similar once in a story. (Well, I had planned it. Sadly, that story never made it past the first book so I didn’t get to write it. *pouting* But I had a few ideas that might help!) If you wanna hint it, you could try dropping clues like pointing out if they had some physical…[Read more]

Since I’m pretty sure you’re not on Instagram, I just had to share this with you. It ad me cracking up in my morning tea break at work.

@writerlexi1216, @devastate-lasting

Seia would rather jump around everywhere.

Would your character rather live off-the-grid or in the middle of the city?

@joy-caroline Perhaps do some sort of prologue at the beginning of your book? Or you could drop subtle details, maybe like similar mannerisms and physical traits that your reader will catch but your characters won’t.

@kathleenramm

I love that!!  Thanks so much!!  I especially like #9.  I can put scenes in every category that you and @erinrramm mentioned, so we’ll just see if I can put it into word form!!! 😃

@e-k-seaver Ahh nice!

@nova21

I was really curious about the answer to this question a few months ago, so I actually did a whole bunch of reading and researching about what made a gripping first chapter that kept readers reading, and I actually end an article on KP about the whole process! Here’s a link to the post if you want to check it out:…[Read more]

I feel you–I’m a huge perfectionist!!!

Great idea!

@abigail-m

Thanks!!  That looks awesome, thanks!!!

Ikr?  A great example of a really good first chapter is from the Hunger Games.  I don’t know how she does it!!! 😃

@godlyfantasy12

Those look great!!  (ur nails are so cute btw 😉)

@godlyfantasy12

yass girl!!!!  Keep it up!!  (Next time can you buy me a caramel frappé and ship it to me? 😋 jk)

@abigail-m

that’s a great idea!!!!!  I think I’ll try that.

@abigail-m I really want to do some research on Norway. Hopefully I’ll get an idea while learning about it XD And I’ll definitely ask you if/when I ever have questions about ancient Russia. Thanks!

Also, I second @abigail-m and her suggestion of Hillsdale’s online courses. THEY ARE AMAZING. I’ve already gone through a few (the Genesis one is incredible!!) and I’ve even been able to get some high school credit for it.

@e-k-seaver Unfortunately not, but I do intend on rejoining! I was on it for about two years until around April of last year when I decided to take a break because it was becoming a bit distracting. I still talk to lots of Ydubbers though because they’re all like my best friends XD Are you on Ydubs?

@abigail-m
Whoa, that’s actually awesome that you’re gonna go a few days without internet!!! I’m gonna shamefully admit I’m not sure if I could do that. XD Anyway, that’s perfectly alright!! I LOVE THESE QUOTES TOO SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!! They’re VERY inspiring!!! <33

I hate having to say this because I just began the daily writing quotes, but I most likely won’t be able be able to post the daily quote for about three days. (Turns out, when you go into the wilderness, you don’t get internet connection;)

But for anyone who reads the daily quote, I’m posting three here and hopefully I’ll be able to get on trac…[Read more]
