@godlyfantasy12 This is a great idea! 😀 I absolutely love using worksheets for my creative process!

@joy-caroline

I can’t remember where I heard this, but this came to mind: “God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.” God gave you that story idea. He must want it t be told. By you. Just know that He wants to help you, strengthen you, support you. Yes, research is a must, but at some point you just have to let go, take a deep…[Read more]

I definitely think they’re similar enough! 😀

@gracie-j Thanks for starting this thread! It’s been super helpful for me as well to read through the comments :))

I’m echoing @devastate-lasting that handwriting, although time-consuming when you have to type it all out, is distraction free + portable + forces you to keep going and produce something. It’s also much more enjoyable than staring at…[Read more]

Word sprints might help. Just set a timer and go without stopping. I don’t know if you use Scrivener, but it has this really cool feature where when you go to full screen typing mode, it has a setting that will only let you see the line that you’re typing (or a couple behind) to stay focused. My drafts are messy, but I just tell myself…[Read more]

@lydia-s That’s so awesome that you want to make writing a career! 😀 That’s so awesome! That’s also what I pursued after high school. I didn’t go to college for it, because I didn’t think that was necessary. I think there are plenty of other resources (books, courses, websites, videos, etc.) that you can learn adequately from without paying as…[Read more]

@nova21 Honestly I’m a huge dreamer too so I have the same problem. XD

@godlyfantasy12

I hear ya! When I feel like that I usually try to remember my WHY. My big goal. WHY am I working on this project? Does it have a message I want people to see? Do I want to prove to myself that I can finish a hard project? Always figure out why you write every story and sometimes remembering that is enough to keep you going.

I’ve…[Read more]

Wow, I’m really thankful for this thread — I didn’t realize there were so many people out there doing similar things as me 😀 (although, really, as a Kapeefer I really should have seen it coming…)

@writerlexi1216 I guess I’ll just share a bit of my current WIP…my protagonist starts out in the “real world”, where she ends up getting sucked…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Well, maybe somehow your fictional world is connected to other worlds, including our reality, so that it sometimes is exposed to the cultures of other worlds? Then that would explain being able to have the Bible with real people and events in your fictional world. Or maybe you make it more of an allegory with characters that…[Read more]

@nova21 First, OH MY GOODNESS your story sounds so interesting! Definitely something I would read! 😀

I really like @gracie-j‘s suggestions… Maybe the dream cut off at an important part and she misses some key information; then in her reality where the vision is repeating itself she won’t have this bit of information the vision cut off. There…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

I always do a lot of brainstorming with a new idea (a.k.a. brain dumping into a journal). I basically just kinda write down whatever little ideas come to mind for the book idea, and when I feel like I have a good amount, I might try to arrange the ideas into plot points. At the same time I work on the characters too, figuring out…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Wow, this is from a little while ago. 😛  Thanks!  I’m glad you like it.

I agree, Kipling’s poems are very good.  Now I should go back and read some, since I haven’t read any of his works in a while. 😉  My favorite poet of the droll variety is probably A.A. Milne, though.  What do you think of his stuff?

@abigail-m

Thank you! …[Read more]

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice @valtmy @alia @gracie-j

@nanisnook Kingdom Pen has some great articles on description right here. 🙂

@abigail-m I love that one! 😀

@joy-caroline That’s awesome that you’re following God’s guidance! Yes, He always knows best and His timing is perfect! 😀 Personally, I think the combining is a great idea. 🙂

I wish you all the best on your story! It really sounds like God has given you that story for a reason, so I know it’s going to be amazing. <3

Sorry to hear that, @lucy! I’ll be praying!

This is sounds like a fabulous idea! Unfortunately, I won’t be able to participate due to time constraints, but I wish you all the best; it sounds like fun!

I’ll tag some more people for ya… @seekjustice @alia @rochellaine @dragon-snapper @dekreel @ariel-ashira @godlyfantasy12
