Let me just say WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THOSE FIRST!!!??? XD  I’m in LOVE!!!!!!!!!!  Excited to see what happens, especially with the second one….

Heya!!!! Ooo, yeah, so that was a plug-in I found. The site I’m using is a wordpress.org site and not a .com (I don’t know if things change for different platforms… yes there is a difference. 😉 ) but I had heard about this free plug-in that you can install and activate on your WordPress site. What I did was go under the section…[Read more]

There’s not really any secret. I just put letters together until I’m satisfied with the name. Another thing you can do (which I learned from Jennifer A. Nielsen) is to take a name–let’s say Alabama–and then you just keep replacing the letters in that word until you’re satisfied with the result. So for Alabama, I might first change…[Read more]

Heeeyyy! Wait, are you writing a fantasy?  Let’s go Joy! ;P

Well, let’s see…  When I come up with place names, I like to use fantasy name generators.  I don’t always use exactly what they generate, but it gives me a jumping off point to create and combine different styles according to each of the worlds’ traditions.  Som…[Read more]

I have a pen name for privacy reasons only, although I’ll probably change it to my real name if/when I publish.  I’m all for pen names, though–they’re fun and creative and can draw a reader in just like your cover and title can (in a way).  If you want to, I think it would be fun for you to come up with one.  That may just be me…[Read more]

@relia

YAAY!! THANK YOU!!! She’s not really a stylish person. She normally just wears a plain t-shirt and jeans.

@relia

Oooooo I would DEFINITELY love some character art!!!! THANKS SO MUCH for the tag!!! I’ll go with the lead girl character in my current WIP. Her name is Ashlee and she is sixteen. She has medium-length auburn hair and brown eyes. Anyway, I searched and searched to try to find the image I used for my mock cover for Ashlee’s story, but I…[Read more]

Hmmm… this is a tough one. I don’t know how much I can help you with this but one thing I always try to remember is, what happens at the climax doesn’t matter as much as what happens leading up to it. Literally, whatever your mc has been trying to get throughout the whole story, just take it from her. If there’s some romance,…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

*GASP* EEEEEE!!! I am sooo excited to hear you’re making a website!!! Lemme know when it releases so I can check it out!!! It seems everyone else has already given you lotsa great tips, but don’t worry about not having that contact page thing. Hardly anyone ever uses it on TWN. And I see some people who are mentioning things about…[Read more]

@relia

Thank you so much, Relia!  That’s great advice to think about!  That definitely gets my gears turning… 😉

@joy-caroline, @devastate-lasting

Y’all, thank you so much!!!! <33  As soon as I read these, I grabbed a piece of paper and scribbled it down.  Thank you so much for the help!  I’m off to a gorgeous library for theologians to go study at, but I’ll get in because of my dad, lol.  I got my sheet of theme notes and my computer and ready to write a…[Read more]

You would make a good donkey indeed.

Thanks…?

Wow, I’m officially part of the epic club, I’m honored! XD

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

lol, ur hilarious XD

umm, I’ll bring the sundae bar (with 10 different ice cream flavors and toppings and fresh fruit) and my gift will be making a cover/collage on Canva for the poor awkwarded-out newcomer!

I will arrive wearing *quickly thinks about all my favorite characters who are all dressed in boring stuff*…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Well, to be honest, stories kinda come to me.  I can’t really force myself to come up with ideas, but I do enjoy finding prompts (on Reedsy: https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/).  I also find great ideas when I’m reading;  for example, I was reading The Chosen by Taran Matharu and I thought about traveling between worl…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

One thing that I suggest is a personality change/evolution in your cast of characters:  the villain might change for better or descend into a downward spiral.  The secondary characters might end up sacrificing themselves for their friends, or maybe they betray them.  The MC might end up getting what they’ve been trying to get th…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Ahhhhhh, whaaaaat!?!????  Those are AMAZING!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️  O just about screamed, but my parents are having a deep conversation so that probably wouldn’t go down well, lol.  THANK YOU SO. MUCH.  I’m in love with those!!!  *faints onto the settee*

@joy-caroline

Aww, thanks sooo much, girl!!! *sending virtual hugs as payment* 😜
