@Christi-Eaton Not dying is definitely a good goal… XD

Christine Eaton replied to the topic Spring Writing/Reading Goals in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 6 months ago
My goal is literally just “don’t die.” Because school is tough and I have approximately 7 weeks left. Oh and maybe take a break from Plato and Homer and read a book for fun because that hasn’t happened in months (with the exception of one Francine Rivers book I read in two days.)
So yeah, that’s all.

Science fiction is… yeah, pretty much like any other story. Create a world. Could be a city, country, island, continent, two continents, planet, planet plus moon/space station, solar system, two solar systems, sector, sector cluster, galaxy, two galaxies, galaxy cluster, or entire universe… As far as you want to go. 😛 Then…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper whew… I haven’t written scifi yet, though I’ve got one in the works. And… quite honestly, most of my inspiration for the actual science-y stuff came from studying physical science in my schoolwork. Like… the nature of time. And space. And how gravity is a result of those two, bent. And how stars work… and what gases do what…[Read more]

Finish the second draft of my WIP, run through it one more time, and send it out to beta readers. Also write a novella. (Yes. The same novella I put int the Fall and Winter Writing Goals. *weak chuckle*)

@Dragon-Snapper As far as describing mechanics, I’d recommend getting a Star Wars cross-section book and studying it to death. And come to think of it, the Rogue One visual dictionary had some pretty good stuff on that as well.
(And that is as far as I’ll venture, because I’ve never written a sci-fi. 🙂 )

@Dragon-Snapper And it was a very beautiful way to…go…I guess…

*silently hands out chocolate because there’s nothing else to be done*
Wasn’t it marvelously put together on every conceivable level though?

@kate-flournoy Okay, now I’ve seen it. Now, let me say something very quietly. !!!!!!!HOW COULD THEY POSSIBLY DO THAT????? The main characters can’t….they can’t… *smeagol voice* *throws rock at Bilbo* Oh, it’s against the rules!

Does anyone have any experience in writing science fiction? I’ve recently begun to write a sci-fi book, but it is my first attempt, and I’d appreciate any input you all can give me. And also book suggestions that are good sci-fi examples. Anything you can tell me is welcome. But if you want specificities, I’d like to know how to describe mechanics…[Read more]

Fall and Winter months are over, and that’s crazy, but its true. Just yesterday I made the Fall and Winter Goals topic. Or maybe that wasn’t yesterday, but either way, it feels like that.
Well, I was able to complete my goal last time, finishing my novel before the appointed time, and since it worked so nicely last time, I figured I’d make…[Read more] -

Awesome, @arella-noreen ! 😀
I’m going to write a few minutes more since I’m coming along well with my poem editing. I came up with some changes I like and a few suggestions to consider, so I’m happy! 🙂
Thanks for writing with me! 🙂

Hey @arella-noreen . I just saw your message. I’ve been writing, but I’m going to take a ten-minute break now. I’ll probably write for 15 minutes more when I return if you want to join me. 🙂

That is very helpful, @aratrea , thanks!
I’ve been mulling it over some, and then working on other projects, and then mulling it over some more. The hard part for me is choosing the main theme because there are several ways I could lean with my story. I’m getting close, though. 🙂 Trying to identify what all of the different themes are for my…[Read more]
