Yeah, plotting is probably one of my weaker points of writing. 😂 The extent to which I plot varies from story to story and I’m not sure if that’s a good thing… XD

Another suggestion would be to try and write the worst first draft you could possibly write. That’s how my dad got more than 100% on a university level essay.

I may just ha…[Read more]

@keilah-h @grcr @lightoverdarkness6

Thanks!! Scenes like these are what get me excited about this story. I love these charries too so much. 🥰

@savannah_grace2009

I like first person, but I generally prefer third. Some first person books are great, like Alcatraz vs The Evil Librarians, but others annoy me. I generally dislike first person with multiple POVs because then I keep forgetting whose POV I’m in, which could be a problem with the writing. It’s more forgivable in romances,…[Read more]

Oh my goodness I LOVE this girl 🤩🤩🤩 It’s soooo cute ❤🥰

@freed_and_redeemed

AH YAY YOU’RE BACK *hug*

And AH Riker😭😭😭😭

1. Yes, I think it’s pretty realistic, you did a great job writing it. I’ve had small panic attacks before and they’re definitely not fun heh. I’m sure when someone’s cornered like that they’re not going to be thinking straight or exactly rational so his desperateness made sense. I…[Read more]

Ignore tag or read on!

Just wanted to share a cute scene from a WIP that I’ve been working on a little too much. 😉 I seriously should be working on my main WIP rn, but whatever.

It’s not p…[Read more]

Ok I give up. Wyoh, you’re a jerk

@highscribeofaetherium

Waiiiit… isn’t the Penderwicks third person??? Or have I officially gone insane?

It’s third person. And first person with multiple POVs drives me crazy as well.

@rae I don’t think I can handle another rp at the moment, but this sounds fun and I might join later on

Wyoh, I can’t think of a good insult rn, but stop

@esther-c First person for some reason really bothers me. There are some books like Percy Jackson and the Penderwicks that I’ve enjoyed despite being in first person, but it still really pulls me out of the story. It makes me wonder why the mc is talking to me or if the book is like the mc’s perso…[Read more]

@esther-c

I generally like third person more than first person. Both are good though, so do what you think works best. Just because it’s popular doesn’t mean it’s best. I can’t help much with the rest, because I’m having the same problem. Some books that do this well are The Penderwicks, The Vanderbeekers, Cheaper by the Dozen, and The Melendy Quartet.

I guess I should tag some peeps. Don’t feel obligated to reply 🙃

So I need help.

I’ve been plotting in my head for a contemporary novel that I’m really excited about. I love the concept, the characters, and even the setting so much! I just need a better structure for my plot. So far I’ve been writing random scenes, I just have a feeling that when I finally sit down to write the book in whole, it’s not gon…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

1.      Is Riker’s sudden panic/possible panic attack realistic? If not, does anyone that has experienced a panic attack have any pointers? (I’ve only been on the brink of one once…it was not fun🫠)

I felt like it was pretty realistic, but I’ve also never written anything like that before or experienced something like it. I a…[Read more]

Hey, everyone!! Just so y’all are aware, I’ll probably begin posting the next polls sometime after Easter. (:

1. Oh and I don’t think him walking slowly and carefully quite fits? It totally could work and you can ignore me here, but typically you’re in either fight, flight, or freeze mode during a panic attack. You’re not thinking logically, you’re just acting on fear. Obviously he’s not going to fight, so I think it would make more sense if he was eithe…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

1. I think it was pretty accurate except that he was thinking in full sentences. Typically when I’ve had an anxiety attack, my thoughts come in scattered fragments or images. Usually it’s only a couple words or a phrase on repeat or it’s just pure emotion and physical symptoms. Nothing really makes sense in the moment and m…[Read more]

Dante

Dante suppressed a yawn.

He had slept in late in the motel room after getting almost no sleep when he was outside the night before. He was exhausted from exploring, hunting pixies, and peer-pressured dance lessons. When he had finally woken up in the morning, he found Jr’s bed unsurprisingly empty.

Dante had left a sloppy note thanking J…[Read more]
