@livylynn I have self-published once.

When I first started writing, I really wanted to be traditionally published, but I eventually did a 180. The reason was simple. Since I was a beginning author, publishers would want to see my platform before they published me. And if I already had a platform, why not self-publish? After all, self-publishing…[Read more]

This doesn’t have to do with being a writer, but the problems I have as a writer when I have a writer fail moment.
ME: What color hair does this character have?
SIBLING: I don’t know. Depending on the scene, it varies from black to blonde.

XD I’ve never had a character who can change hair color from scene to scene.

@epicaddie2 Byeeeeeeeeeee!! XD

@epicaddie2 Not from what I know of. If you’re worried that the character arc isn’t going to fit in your book, then I’d shorten it, but the characters is what carries your story. The character arc should not be immediate or too small. Character arcs can last for a few books maybe too, if its a major life aspect.

But if you think about, our lives…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 I will humbly acknowledge that Kate probably has a much better answer than me, but I don’t see your dilemma as a huge problem unless you want the warden to be a pure character. You can just depict him as a character in a very complex situation who doesn’t like what he’s doing, but doesn’t know what other choices he has.

@gh24682468999 I support what @perfectfifths said. It sounds though like your main problem is not that you aren’t showing reactions, but that you feel like you have too many and it’s cluttering your prose.

I assume you’re using action tags (i.e. Sam put on his glasses. “Don’t I look cool in these?”)

Action tags are extremely helpful to a story.…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Welcome!
@that_writer_Girl_99 Motion Picture class? That sounds like so much fun! I’ve looked into scriptwriting before, and yeah, the format is odd. I find Times Roman much more friendly. 😛

@salome01w4g @daeus @that_writer_Girl_99 @catwing @epicaddie2 I’m writing now, and might do some editing later, but whoever wants to join me…

Hey, I could use some prayer. Tomorrow, we’re driving to Maryland for my grandpa’s memorial service (he died last week). Please pray for my dad and his siblings especially during this time.

@catwing and @epicaddie2
I’ll be praying for you all! I know how stressful switching houses is. 🙂

@salome01w4g @catwing Welp, I’m signing out now. I wrote 1030!

And thank you so much for the popcorn and ice cream! He helped me get past the really really really really really dry chapter/scene! 😀

@dragon-snapper Ok, I am going to ramble, so brace yourselves. I pretty much know nothing about the topic that I will now ramble about. This is all from my observation, so use at your own risk. 😛 Alrighty, using a “y” instead of an “i” is very cool right now, but it’s a kind feels “forced,” like you’re trying too hard to be cool. Go for something…[Read more]

@salome01w4g Popcorn!! Popcorn and swords! Give me!

@salome01w4g Swords!!!

Man, I kinda miss those.

@catwing Hiya!

I will take the ice cream!

@seekjustice @daughteroftheking @catwing @daeus @epicaddie2 Me and my headphones are going to force Dragon Snapper to write this terrible chapter.

Who’s with me?

Well, Nowun, I guess I’ve got to go. Adios!

@epicaddie2 @seekjustice @that_writer_girl_99 @catwing Hey Kapeefers, anybody on?

*enters dramatically* It’s officially official (with great officialness): I shall be there. 😀
