@lewilliams Yeah, I get that. I’ve been trying to read more, too!!! Alrighty, *rubs hands together eagerly* I’m always down for giving out awesome recs. I don’t know if any of this will interest you, since I’m normally a loner in the books I enjoy. XD But I just recently read Fawkes by Nadine Brandes and Dust by Kara Swanson and they were SO…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Are you still going?

@relia

That’s a really good question… As much as I want to write full-time (which is pretty much what I do now), I think having other jobs is a good way to gain experience in different areas.

@typewriter77
Eyyy what’s up?

I’m Em.

@rochellaine

Thank you! Oh wow, a country song? I’m intrigued. 😀 That’s awesome that you’re getting back into writing again! Yup, I’m working on my sequel. I made some pretty good progress yesterday. 🙂 Abbie Emmons is hosting a virtual ‘writing retreat’ during June with writing livestreams every Wednesday, if you’re interested.

AHH WELCOME BACK @rochellaine!!!!! Seeing your post pop up in my emails made me smile! 😀 Thanks for the congratulations! It’s been a hectic journey but I’m so excited about the book. 🙂 But enough about me, I wanna hear how YOU have been lately. <3

@nanisnook

Well, most of the time I just push right through it, but if a scene’s coming up and I don’t know what’s gonna happen AND I just don’t feel like writing it, I’ll just put: something really cool happens and move on. I’ve only ever done that once, tho, so it’s no a super common thing for me. 😉

@devastate-lasting @gracie-j Aww, THANK Y’ALL BOTH SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!! <333 I LOOVE both of y’all’s, too!!!!! Soooo AMAZING and it just makes me wanna read the stories sooo badly!!!!

(Grace, now you’re just making me want to get back to reading Held Captive soooo badly. 😉 )

(Also, Linyang, I am now dubbing you the queen of amazing taglines!!!!…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I REALLY like your tag lines! The synopsis is good too; my one suggestion would be to briefly mention why the main character and her friend are being sent off to this circus land. But great job! 😀

@godlyfantasy12

Hmmm… I think a mix of both sounds really cool!!

@godlyfantasy12

Awwww, girl, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!! I’m soo glad to hear that!!! 😊 Girl, you are SO very welcome!!!! <33

@godlyfantasy12

WHOA, girl, THAT SYNOPSIS JUST SOUNDS SOOOO AMAZING AND INTRIGUING!!!!!! Like if this book was in a bookstore, I would TOTALLY buy it and read it!!!! If you want, maybe you could give a little more of an idea who the villain is and what the main conflict of the story’s gonna be. But either way, I still ADORE it soooooo much!!!!!…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Oooh, new story!!!

Oh, yeah, this happens allllll the time. And when it happens for me, it’s pretty awful, ’cause I get bored REALLY EASILY in stories. which may or may not explain why I was insane enough to have a fight scene on PAGE SEVEN in one of my novels *sheepish grin*

Well, this is the best advice I’ve EVER heard when it…[Read more]

@nanisnook

Ooof, sorry it took me forever to get here. I’ve just not had the time to be very active on KP liked I’d wish. :,(

Anyway, the biggest thing is seriously DON’T COMPARE. I always get soooo down on me and my writing whenever I start comparing my sloppy, first draft to my favorite novels ever. But then I have to remember that you know…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Sometimes this happens to me when I’m working on a more slow-paced story. But I try to remember that if the plot points are big changes for the protagonist and move the plot forward, then they’re important, even if they might not seem exciting. 🙂

I’m so glad you liked them, @nanisnook ! <3

@mkfairygirl You’re so welcome, Katherine! <3 Glad you like them!
