That’s a good idea for plotting structure!  Are you still working on the Daughters of the Seven Seas (sorry if I got that wrong)?  If so, which book are you on?

Btw, here’s a link to a little survey on NaNoWriMo that helps with planning your writing schedule:  What’s the best NaNoWriMo writing schedule for you? (t…[Read more]

@gracie-j

I’m actually going back over the NaNoWriMo Prep 101 to use the worksheets for making characters and plotting.  Question:  do you have a favorite plotting structure?  I’m a plantser (right in between plotter and pantser), so I’m still trying to find my happy-medium when it comes to plotting.

Writing’s going pretty well–I haven’t st…[Read more]

@gracie-j

I am!!!! 😄

@godlyfantasy12

Love it! 😍

Your synopsis is really good!!!  Arabella’s backstory is really interesting… 😀

Hope your writing goes well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉

@godlyfantasy12

I’ve tried to write mysteries, but alas, they are too predictable and trashy. 😆  However, I love to read them!  I like your idea–it sounds great to me!! I also think that world of Cirque would also be really interesting to develop.  (Btw, is November a girl or boy?  Sometimes it’s hard to tell with names 😉)  I’m intri…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

🥰 Thanks so much!!

@devastate-lasting

I got you, thanks so much!! 😉

@gracie-j

Thank you so much!  Typos… 😒  And punctuation has never been my friend.  Thank you for the advice!

@kathleenramm

Yeah, I know what you mean.  That’s an interesting thought–I’ve never really paid attention to authors’ favoritism.  I’ll have to think about it.  I feel like I’ve read that kinda thing before though, and I’ve definitely written it!! 😂

@kathleenramm

Definitely.  On a slightly different note, I hate it when people write comic relief characters who are so try-hard!! 😄 I almost put the book down (e.g. Uriah in the Divergent series–I liked him in the first book, but in the last two, he was super cringy)  Anyways, it’s interesting to see how so many writers (most of the time) s…[Read more]

@gracie-j Ahhh, gotcha. That makes some sense.

Hm. I personally love both the movies and the books. But, as always, the books are better. ;D

*nods* That also sounds like a pretty good approach. 🙂

@kathleenramm

I struggle with everything everyone else has mentioned, but I always have the hardest time trying to make friendly banter between two characters.  Since I write in a different setting than real life, I can’t use the banter between me and my friends as inspiration.  (It’s also mostly cheesy stuff anyways. 🙂 ) So yeah, I’ll be w…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Yeah, I get it.  Characters like that are hard, but I love to read and write them!!

@godlyfantasy12

This is great!  The first sentence is amazing! 😃  Wonderful job!

If you wanted to, it might be interesting to make Corvina more stoic on the outside, but conflicted only on the inside.  As a servant of the Destroyer, I would personally want to try to keep my feelings to myself, lol!! 😂

Thanks for sharing!!  I hope you post more…[Read more]

@gracie-j I don’t remember which one I preferred, out of the two. I really need to reread them, lol. I think I read them… prior to keeping track of my reading, it looks like, so at least four years ago.

I didn’t watch a whole lot of Disney princess movies growing up. I watched a lot of other Disney movies, but the princesses weren’t a big…[Read more]

@seekjustice I wrote a post and then when I edited it it vanished. O-o

My mom was really careful when I was little about anything that featured daughters rebelling against their dads. She didn’t let me watch The Little Mermaid for the same reason (which I don’t mind; I’m not a fan of Ariel now that I have watched the movie, lol). Once I was a…[Read more]
