R.M. Archer replied to the topic What do you do when you feel discouraged and feel like giving up? in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years ago
What encourages me generally differs depending on why I’m discouraged. God blessed me with an exceptionally easy project that I’ve been working on for the past two years or so, so it’s a little tricky to remember the last time I handled discouragement well, since the project before that… I did not handle well.

All those helpful author quotes are always so encouraging and inspiring, especially because I know that they had pretty trashy stuff too, before they started to improve it. I’ll just scroll through pages of quotes… and then take a walk to clear my mind. And if I need a break from my WIP, I always have a stash of idea notebooks t…[Read more]

Great topic! …now I have to remember what I read last! 😆 I’m pretty sure it was The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen. My favorite thing was probably the MC, Sage’s, personality. He was street-smart and sarcastic, but also noble. My least favorite thing was the pace. A lot of the time it was super slow, with occas…[Read more]
