Julia R.

I love outlining (or, at least I love how it works for me) and I don’t think I know anybody who has tried outlining and been disappointed by it. I also know a couple people who have tried outlining and been happy they did.

At the same time, I don’t recommend outlining everything. Your story needs room to evolve. If you outline too deeply, you’ll…[Read more]

@celticcailin Hi there! I don’t think we’ve met. *shakes your hand heartily* I don’t write songs, but I do get very into critiquing the ones I listen to. 😛 So, if you want a full rant about what I’ve noticed, I’d be happy to oblige! But I need to go right now, talk to you later!

@juliawrites4christ Thank you! I love creating characters too. It’s fun when they take on a life of their own, even if they get stubborn and decide to change the plot. 😛

@ariella-newheart  I would love to draw him, but I don’t have time today.  Maybe later this week!

@seekjustice Thank you for checking in, my foot is behaving itself! *stern look at foot* I don’t know when I’ll have to have not-quite-surgery on it, but hopefully not for a while, years possibly. It’s up to factors out of my control, but fortunately God is in control. The other foot is almost completely healed now, and I’m back to running around…[Read more]

@rochellaine @seekjustice  I’ll join the party for a few minutes (aka until dinner’s ready). 🙂

@epicaddie2  Here is Lillian!!!  She was super fun to do.  🙂

@dekreel  Welp.  I got brave and decided to try Toby.  Hope you like him!

@epicaddie2  I really wanna draw her!  Maybe later today.  *crosses fingers*

And @dekreel I might possibly maybe perhaps try your character too, even though I’m not good at men… 🙂

@skye  Helloooooo!!!!  Since you said you work with horses, I assume you ride them…?  If so, do you ride English or Western??  I wish I owned a horse too…*sigh*  Anyway, welcome, welcome!

@juliawrites4christ Welcome!! *bows and sweeps cape dramatically* I love historical fiction. What’s your favorite part of writing?

@valtmy You can public message a few people and then share the doc directly with them.

@valtmy If you click on someone’s name, and it takes you to the page with their posts and stuff, there is an option for “Public Message,” which lets you send them a message apart from the forum threads. However, other people can see the message if they look at site wide activity page (which I found once, but never found my way back to. Hm.), or if…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you have this conversation:

Me to MC: Alright, I know it’s a tall order, but you’re going to have to defeat a witch, reunite a kingdom, save multiple lives, and have a character arc somewhere in there too. And speaking of character arcs, there are like four more minor arcs to add to the mix. No problem, just a little…[Read more]

@skredder  Ugh…

It was pretty good! Today, incredibly enough, was the first time in my entire life I have ever dyed eggs.

Except with the holiday, I’m NOT ready for Monday… 😛

@skredder  I disappeared. But I suppose I can reappear again before disappearing for two months…

How was your Easter?

You know you’re a writer when you not only yell out clichés when you see them in movies, you’ve got your family doing it too.

Sibling: There’s the strong female character!

Me: *bursts with pride* And a mentor character. He’s so gonna die.
