Karissa Chmil replied to the topic Anyone Need Some Editing? in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year, 2 months ago
Eyy, this is so exciting, @godlyfantasy12! *throws confetti* Congrats on jumping into this! (Editors are amazing. 😁)
I’m currently finishing up line edits on a novella called Buried Stars, and chapter six is throwing me a bit. If you have time, I’d love it if you could look at some of the phrasing!
I’ll drop the link below, but relevant…[Read more]

Karissa Chmil replied to the topic What do I do if my book sounds awful? in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year, 3 months ago
‘Nuff said.
Just kidding. . . but also not. xP The first draft is just the starting point – there’s a quote that says “you can’t edit a blank page”. There will be endless revisions and chances to tighten things up further down the road, but the story needs to exist to be made better. All you have to do right now is get it on the…[Read more]

@lydia-s Thanks… I’m out of work now for like a week and a half, so things are brighter already. Probably lol.

@loopylin Aww, thank you! It’s mainly just. A lot of stresses and anxieties adding up together, especially since I’ve been basically under solitary confinement for the majority of this summer, but I only have a week left, so I’m just praying it gets better then, because at least I’ll have more to distract myself with. Thank you for your prayers…[Read more]

@lydia-s Extreme lack of sunlight. Making me question life and myself and everything else. Losing my mind daily. No writing to be seen or heard. I wish I had made different choices for this summer, but it is too late for regret.

Tint (eleven-year old cousin of dystopian MC)
1. Drinks hot chocolate in all temperatures.
2. Has been captured thrice (and escaped with snarky comments each time).
3. Once convinced his own side that a raid was happening in the middle of the night and thought it was hilarious.

@whalekeeper This sounds fantastic. xD I’ll put my character in a minute later, but for Calvin, erm. . . three? The one with the colors?
@godlyfantasy12 The siren, maybe?
@zemira (Awesome name, by the way.) Ermmmmm, fork, maybe? Edit: Wait, you already revealed it. xD Whoops.

@acancello Yesss, it’s so saddddd. I have indeed read the Little Women books, and I’ve started Rebecca once but never really got into it. 😅 Is it worth trying again?

*casually comments because this will be helpful later xD*
Honestly, besides Abbie Emmons and StoryEmbers, the thing that’s been the most helpful in plotting is a whiteboard. XD At our current house we have a huge whiteboard on the wall, and being able to fill it with all the plot points and character arc beats and random notes is spectacular. *happy sigh*

@janellebelovedpig Oooh, this premise sounds fascinating. I’d be super interested in reading this one day.
I don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, so behold, a rambling list of points about failure:
- If you remember failure, that remembrance is going to be called something. But there’s a difference between guilt and regret – guilt is…

@acancello Ooooh, I love A Rose in Bloom! The way Alcott developped the characters from Eight Cousins and kept them realistic was incredibly intriguing. Charlie absolutely broke my heart. *fp* But Mac is amazing, and Archie is still the best. XD And Jamie is always the sweetest.

@lydia-s I went to Pennsylvania and lay on the grass and looked at the stars for a while a few days ago so that felt like rehab XD
Still suffering a little, trying to figure out writing things before work starts
