Cool! Oh, yeah. I totally get that. You gotta take breaks, though, so you don’t get burnt out.
Ironically, after saying I’m struggling with too many ideas, now I’m majorly suffering writers’ block. *facepalm* Oh, well. I’ll get through it. 🙂

Morgan replied to the topic Not sure if I should add an idea to my book in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 3 years, 5 months ago
@lydia-s Thanks for the advice and encouragement! The triplets and single child already get mistaken for each other a lot, but a real identical twin would definitely make it more fun! The more I come up with answers to my concerns, the more I realize that I should probably just do it and see what happens. Like some of you have said, the worst that…[Read more]

Sami Eastwood replied to the topic Hi! in the forum Start HERE 3 years, 5 months ago
Ah, the third drafts. Don’t you just get to the point where it’s either “I have read this book so many times I know it word for word” or “Who wrote that? Not me.” I definitely do.
My top three favorite authors have to be Stacey Lee, C.S. Lewis, and Neil Gaiman (though he can fall in and out of favor with me depending on his…[Read more]

Natalie C. started the topic Keep going or jump ahead? in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 5 months ago
This is very random, but when y’all are writing and you get stuck at a scene, do you make yourself keep working on it so you stay in order? Or do you sort of jump to the next scene that interests you so you can keep up your momentum?
Adding some peoples… (also this might go through twice…)

@devastate-lasting Thank you! I’ll definitely remember that.
@lydia-s Hello!
Oh, that sounds awesome! I adore Jane Austen and retellings are so cool. That does sound like fun!
To answer your questions:
1. Elizabeth Bennet. Lizzie forever! 🙂
2. I have no idea! *pauses to think* Probably Leah or Hannah. Or Abigail. But I really like my name!…[Read more]

Ooh, thx for tagging me! I shall enter (assuming I can come up with a reasonably decent short story in that amount of time XD).

From your character descriptions, Tell Me No Lies makes me feel like it’s a story filled with mystery, secrets, betrayal, and characters that you don’t know whether or not to love or bolt the opposite direction from. I may be wrong, but that’s the just the feeling I got and I love it. XD
Your character sound like really…[Read more]

Hi! Nice to meet you too!
1) Probably a centaur or dragon
2) Ooh… That is really hard! I’ll just go with Tucker mouse from The Cricket of Times Square series by George Selden.
3) Probably Peter? It is very hard to decide…

Ariel replied to the topic Hello! in the forum Start HERE 3 years, 6 months ago
Yes, and to tell you the truth, it would be very hard to find a book that doesn’t have mystery on my shelf!
I’m actually reading Rose in Bloom right now! I haven’t gotten very far though. No, I don’t have a favorite of L.M.Montgomery’s books. I’ve only read a few and liked all of them so far.
Some of my favorite genres to read are…[Read more]

@elfwing Nope you’re not weird. It helps me too. XD Thanks so much for the advice, it was super helpful!
@jenwriter17 Thanks so much! Those articles helped a lot. I definitely tell myself those lies on a regular basis, and it helps to know that someone else struggles with them too.

Natalie C. started the topic Encouragement needed in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 6 months ago
Hello all! I’ve been feeling really discouraged lately about my writing. It doesn’t seem very good to me, and reading other people’s amazing work doesn’t help. How do y’all get motivated when you just want to chuck it all in the garbage can (if I’m not the only one that ever wants to do that)?
@joy-caroline @devastate-lasting @nova21 @lydia-s No probllama! If u ever wanna just read through it, feel free! That goes for anyone!

Hi y’all! So, wasn’t sure where to put this, but my church and I use these little bible study booklets called Into His Marvelous Light, and I wondered if anyone would be interested in being taught this Bible study? It’s simple and will give me good practice for doing it online and in my own words too. If you want to, let me know by simply replying…[Read more]

oh man! that is epic! Filled with threat and mystery and danger and possible adrenaline rush for fleeing for your life *says all this in one breath and then finally breathes in *, oh… and maybe even romance? Wild guess since you said you love romance hehehe XD
you’re is so funny! I love it! XD

Elanor replied to the topic Hi! in the forum Start HERE 3 years, 6 months ago
Oh, he sounds beautiful!
Okay. Yeah, I had to read the Lord of the Rings before I watched the movies (along with my sister who was very impatient at how long it took me. By the time I’d almost finished the Fellowship she was just finishing the Return of the King 😆). So I read through them then and have been hooked ever since.
I would…[Read more]
