Hey, just wanted to ask what’s the thing with dropping NaNoWriMo at the moment? I’m not really active on there through most of the year so if anything wild went down, I definitely haven’t heard of it???

@e-k-seaver

Nice ideas! I definitely approve of so much angst.

Also your last idea some absolutely fascinating.

@jenwriter17 @rochellaine

Sorry, I sort of disappeared 😀 I’m back now, getting some work done (hopefully).

@rochellaine

Hey!

@selah-chelyah Ah, thank you! Even though I have no idea what you just agreed to haha

@leon-fleming When Eleven talks to people, he comes off as a bit rude because he generally brings up things that he couldn’t have known about. He never introduces himself, and switches randomly from topic to topic. And I’m afraid he’s more on the average side…[Read more]

@leon-fleming Oh hey, you’re back! Nice to see your presence.

Thanks for the tips; I generally stay away from caffeinated things because it does things to my blood, but I’ll keep that in mind. And I recently put Gone With the Wind, The Brothers Karamazov, and The Chosen on hold at my library, so I’m stocked up for the next few weeks or month, th…[Read more]

@leon-fleming As someone who has at least 300 characters from different stories all over, this is a very hard question. 🙂

I suppose I’ll go by story here. Maybe. Or at least sift through the slightly developed ones.

(Half your tags are missing, which leads me to believe that you are tagging nonexistent people. XD)

There’s my central character…[Read more]

@gracie-j Haha, thanks for the tip. Reading bad writing always helps XD

@kathleenramm

The last scene I completed I wrote last night while I was watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. the movie just gave me a burst of inspiration and I wrote a whole scene of a new novel in about 30 minutes.

It was a prologue and it involved the main character finding an evil something in the forest and it introduces all t…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Yep! The next story is going to be kind of a prequel to this one, but it happens in a small seaside town in a summer where a strange cafe appears, along with some extremely strange people. Totally relaxing. Totally not going to have mysterious disappearances 🙂

@r-m-archer @gracie-j

Of course! I know all about Kindle Direct Publishing, I just can be very thick and didn’t realise that’s what KDP stood for 😛

I know, the quotes are really bugging me too.

@gracie-j

Haha, no worries! I like talking about my books. My main characters are called Mere and Roe and they are based on Jeanne Baret and William…[Read more]

@gracie-j It’s been literal years since I last wrote poetry. I like this a lot! Though might I add a few suggestions?

-Line 4 could use another syllable

– “Slowly lifted up her head” I feel like you could add a ‘she’ before this

And other than that, nothing much. Good job!

@gracie-j Ahaha good for you! I’m hoping this bout of unmotivation will pass soon; I remember two years ago when I finished NaNo I didn’t write anything for four months straight because I was exhausted. But hopefully this will be short.

@kathleenramm The last scene I finished? Or the last scene I worked on?

Well, they both were pretty similar, so…

Last I wrote was about fifteen minutes ago, but I’ll go with the one before that. Mainly a couple of characters are trying to go around the area putting up seals so that they can trap the villain…mainly just traveling around and…[Read more]

@jbb I suppose I am knowledgeable about Asian culture, specifically Chinese culture. If you need help on names or something do tag me, because one thing that annoys me extremely is when I read a book and the names are unreadable.

I guess you could also tag me for music and math. Don’t ask me about too advanced math, though.

Oh, and I also have a…[Read more]

@gracie-j @r-m-archer

I’m loving all this publishing chatter. Can I ask what KDP is? I’ve been tossing up whether to pursue the self-publishing or trad publishing route and I really haven’t decided yet, so I’m keen to hear about more options.

Also, I would say, I (and a bunch of other trad published authors) wouldn’t recommend going with a…[Read more]

@lewilliams I love your blurb, especially the structure of it. Very nice. I also feel sorry for all of them, especially Arvi, poor boy!

And oh my goodness, A Beginner’s Guide to Villainy sounds exactly like my cup of tea. Also 100% realistic. I know a lot of tertiary students who would become villains just to get their scores up a little. And b…[Read more]

Wow! I’m glad people have been really enjoying this thread 🙂 Makes me happy!

@r-m-archer I’ve read about your Calligraphy Guild novel on your website, it honestly looks so awesome and I’m intrigued by the whole “magic ink rewriting the past” concept. I hope it goes well! And I’m sure there’s heaps you can do to revitalise your old novel, best of…[Read more]
