@gracie-j Cool! Thank you!

@nanisnook Hi! I think mainly this all depends on your writing style, or your writer’s voice. Everyone has a different voice, and obviously it takes a while to find it, so the tip is to try a lot of new things! I personally gravitate towards a minimal style, with extremely minimum description. Recently, though, I’ve done a writing exercise where…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Second draft haha what is that  Ahem. Anyways. No, I haven’t really done any second drafts before…I mean, sometimes I change core scenes, and my sister makes me rewrite some…I know I’ll be doing second drafts for some, though, especially the ones that i wrote when I first started writing. I’m gonna redo the whole plot…

I, u…[Read more]

Hi Natalie!
I definitely understand struggling to write descriptions. But I think I can help a little with the “show, don’t tell” advice that everyone gives us writers. It means that instead of saying, “she looked at the blue lake and liked it”, say “she admired the lake’s glittering, blue surface.”
Or instead of, “he was strange,” say…[Read more]

@nanisnook Kingdom Pen has some great articles on description right here. 🙂

I’m not sure if my reply duplicated, so I’m sorry if it did, but I just thought I’d re-post my response:)

Eeeeeeek!! Your charries (I love calling them ‘charries’ ) sound SO AMAZING!!! Oh, I know, right? I’m pretty sure all of my characters would want to imprison me for making them suffer so much… *cough Newton cough* so I can rela…[Read more]

I’m pretty sure all of my characters would want to imprison me for making them suffer so much… *cough Newton cough* so I can relate. And yay! I’ll pack up my coats and step through my portal to fictional worlds to get to Birch W…[Read more]

@buildsbygideon

Hmm, for me personally a great book that I believe counts in this topic is by Charles. J. Sykes, “50 Rules Kids Won’t Learn In School.” Since I’m not really a fan of non-fiction or life books, I didn’t expect to like it and there are probably a lot of people who will disagree with me when I say how great it is, (I mean the…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad that you liked Mejia:) That makes me grin like *holds hands up* this huge! She is definitely something else, (in fact TSW’s cast is something else if I come to think about it. Mainly because they’re my only WIP cast that doesn’t want to imprison me for being their author. Which is strange because I…[Read more]

@issawriter7 Ahh tysm! No problem, take your time!

@devastate-lasting

OOooh, girl, this is SO exciting!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH for tagging me!!!!! I’ll definitely be reading this, but I probably won’t get to it tomorrow if that’s okay. <33 Can’t WAIT!!!!!!! *does not know what wait is capitalized*

@mkfairygirl

Of course!!! <33 Yeah, I agree!!! 😉 I love your username, by the way! Oh, I KNOW! It’s been FOREVER since I’ve read Little Women, but I remember that it was very well-written and I enjoyed it. I read it for school when I was around eight or nine… but I’d like to re-read it again. Ooh, I actually don’t think I’ve seen the Little…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Aww, thank you so much, Lexi!!!!!<3 I thought it was fitting with my username, you know?😉 Ikr? Little Women is sooo good!!!!! So far, I’ve only read Part 1. But I’m going to start Part 2 soon. I took a pause in it to read Issabelle’s WIP. Have you seen any Little Women movies?

@buildsbygideon Hey! Sorry I’m SUPER late to respond to this, I forgot to check notifs lol, excuse my tardiness..

Yes! The story behind my alias is this: I was drawing something in manga style (Japanese drawing) and I was like, “hey, I need a Japanese name if I’m doing Japanese drawing!” So my Japanese name is Megumi Kadotake. (Cool tidbit:…[Read more]

@nova21 That looks great!

@abigail-m

Oh, WOW!! Mejia seriously sounds like an AMAZING character!! Oh, I totally agree on the age thing–my characters used to be younger until I decided to make them around fifteen so that they could be more mature/responsible (plus the whole love interest thing, too). Oooh, your romance sounds interesting!! And I like the name Filip, too!!…[Read more]

@nova21

That is such a beautiful collage! The colors and images and aesthetic are fabulous:)
