Okay, correct me if I’m wrong, but does this example work??

A frog hopped onto the desk, right next to the ring. “Aww! He’s kinda cute!” the antagonist squealed. “Why would they send me such a harmless–” the frog swallows the dark ring, full of powerful magic that the villain had worked so hard to get his hands on for years….…[Read more]

Oh, sorry I haven’t been on here for a while!!!!

LOL yes!!! Story ranting is awesome! And characters are probably my favorite part of writing!!!!!!!!!

@kathleenramm

Undoubtedly, most definitely, undeniably dark and brooding love interests… 😐

They’re just so amazing, you know?  And even if he isn’t the love interest, he’s probably gonna be a side character.

Also, hate-to-love romances are pretty amazing.

So ya, to some it up, romance tropes are most common in my WIPs… hehe!

@hallie-jean

Hey Hallie! Good question! A first draft is the first written version of your book. For me, I like to write all my words at once, then edit it afterwards. I always try to edit while I’m writing, but that’s not a great habit to build, because it can make me pretty discouraged. And like @devastate-lasting said, notes would be good to…[Read more]

@jodi-maile

LOLLLL Thank you so much!!! I will totally let you read and critique it once I finish a few more scenes!

Heh, your dream movie sounds right up my alley! And yeah! That’s pretty much why I’m a panster!!! I’ll be writing a happy scene then all of a sudden one of the charries breaks down crying, “It was me! I was the one who killed your…[Read more]

@jodi-maile

Ha!!! Yeah, I don’t have an outline! I’m a panster so I don’t usually form an outline for a while! I personally have always liked fantasy and action shows and movies!!!! So the one I’m working on right now is like a twisted fairy tale kind of show! It follows four siblings–Goldilocks, Peter Pan, Robin Hood, and Red Riding Hood–The…[Read more]

@jodi-maile

After watching The Avengers, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and various other movies and TV shows, I’ve always been interested in making my own films!!! I’ve written a few scripts and short plays for school projects and have really enjoyed it! Sometimes when I need to work on dialogue for a book, I will write a script first so I can be…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

I do the same thing with my outline!!! My characters are even more random than me! XD

@joy-caroline, @nova21,

These are HILARIOUS!!! I haven’t read Ignite yet, but this makes me want to!

Or never mind… I’m done again! ‘Bout 15 minutes, 202 words. Last sentence (for the second time):

“Where did you get that idea?”

@joelle-stone,

Aww, shucks. 🙂 But I’m sprinting again now for about twenty minutes, so if you’re still on and you wanna…

So… I think I’m noticing a pattern. My sprints are getting really, reeaalllyyyy short. I need to work on that. But I’m signing off now, 30 minutes, 342 words. My last sentence?

“Clenched hands suit you.”

‘Kay, I’m sprinting. Anyone want to join me?

@issawriter7, @gracie-j, @mkfairygirl, @writerlexi1216, @daisy-torres, @nova21, @joelle-stone, @devastate-lasting, @everyone.

@kathleenramm

LOLLLL I definitely would steal my antagonist’s hat!!! It’s a pirate hat with a feather, jewels, and gold trimming so… even if I get slashed with a cutlass, it will totally be worth it! XD

Though I’m a little worried she might think the store is a stationary pirate ship with a TON of cargo! And she might challenge the manager to…[Read more]

@anatra23

Oooooh!!!! Beginnings are usually simple for me! But for some reason I could. not. figure. this. one. out! Thank you so much for the tips! I love starting in the middle of dialogue!!!! That always catches my attention! XD

@hobbitchild

I can see this is from a long time ago, so I have no idea if you’ll see this!!! But, hi!!!!!! I’m here! A little late to the party, but recently I’ve been interested in making my own TV show and possibly posting it on YouTube.

A documentary sounds cool! I’m not a huge fan of documentaries, but one about a theatre camp sounds pretty…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Ahhhhhh!!!!!! Thank you so much! I needed to hear that! I think getting your ideas out and writing notes on the side is a good idea! And yes, I do have an outline! However, I’m a little worried that my plot has changed and I’ll have to fix it! But I’ll figure it out! Thanks, again!!! <3
