@writerlexi1216
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oooh, that’d be AWESOME for you to read it!!!!!!!!! I’m not sure how that’d work yet, though!!!

@nova21

It really depends on the agent. I know some who’ll respond to query letters in three weeks and some who takes three months. And then there are those who don’t respond at all. And that’s just…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Aww, thanks!!!! 🤗  I may have already asked this, but when do you think you’ll finish Bound and Determined?

@issawriter7

How long does it normally take for an agent to respond?  (That shows you how much thought I’ve put into publishing, lol 😂)  I hope the process goes smoothly and quickly!!!!!

Oooo, congrats on fi…[Read more]

@Gracie J.

My WIP has actually been smooth sailing today! I’ve gotten a lot written and edited, so I’m hyped about it for the time being! My current word count is probably around 16,000 words, but I have a tendency to edit every scene once I finish it, so that slows me down a bit. I’ve hit a little bump in the road, though, trying to figure out…[Read more]

I’ve been kind of taking a break in December, but I am so pumped to get back at it come January (even if it is editing). I’m currently working on editing my superhero novel, the first in a duology. Editing is a struggle for me, but it’s still fun at times and going pretty well. 🙂

That’s great, Issabelle!!!!!! It’s a super awesome feeling to finish a book, so congrats and best of luck!!! I’d love to read it if you don’t mind! It sounds really interesting! 🙂 It makes me more motivated to finish my own WIP when I read other people finishing theirs!

Thanks for the help, you guys!!! This is a huge problem for me in my writing, so I’m open to any good advice!! I’ll definitely try to be more aware of real-life conversations from now on, and talking out loud would probably help me a lot!! I get what you mean about slang, though–most of my characters are young (15ish), so it would make sense to…[Read more]

@nova21  @gracie-j

It’s going pretty good for me! I had finished up my final drafts and edits for my main WIP, Into the Lamp, a couple weeks ago and have submitted to one literary agents already. *fingers-crossed* And I’ve already started doing a bit of plotting for my next novel!!!!

Oops, tag didn’t work:  @gracie-j

While I’m at it, I’ll tag some more people:

@graice-j

Pretty good!!  I finally have it plotted, so I’ll try to write a good synopsis soon.  I’m hoping to start writing on January 1st and write every day… *crosses fingers*  If I start procrastinating, please to yell at me. 😄

@writerlexi1216 My word of advice would be to listen to real people talk. Listen to conversations and take note of elements that stick out to you. Surprisingly, people talk over each other a lot, don’t finish their sentences, etc. And depending on the age, there could be slang appropriate for the time period. Hope that helps! 🙂

@writerlexi1216
HELLLLLOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *gasp* Really? *high-fives* EXCLAMATION MARKS ARE LIKE THE COOLEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!

@e-k-seaver
I’m SUPER glad I could help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmmm….I don’t really know of anything like that, sadly. I think that’s one of the things that sets wattpad apart from other writing sites. What I do is publish chapters of one of my stories on my blog and ask for my readers to give feedback in the comments. There’s a suggestion. Sorry…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver Wattpad…I’ve heard both good and bad things about it. My sister feels very strongly about it, making me swear never to post stuff on there, as she doesn’t want me to have a reputation as a Wattpad writer. I mean, I post my stuff on QiDian International (Webnovel) which is kind of the same thing, with a lot of bad content, and other…[Read more]
