THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oooh, that’d be AWESOME for you to read it!!!!!!!!! I’m not sure how that’d work yet, though!!!

@nova21

It really depends on the agent. I know some who’ll respond to query letters in three weeks and some who takes three months. And then there are those who don’t respond at all. And that’s just…[Read more]

I’ve been kind of taking a break in December, but I am so pumped to get back at it come January (even if it is editing). I’m currently working on editing my superhero novel, the first in a duology. Editing is a struggle for me, but it’s still fun at times and going pretty well. 🙂

@nova21  @gracie-j

It’s going pretty good for me! I had finished up my final drafts and edits for my main WIP, Into the Lamp, a couple weeks ago and have submitted to one literary agents already. *fingers-crossed* And I’ve already started doing a bit of plotting for my next novel!!!!

@writerlexi1216 My word of advice would be to listen to real people talk. Listen to conversations and take note of elements that stick out to you. Surprisingly, people talk over each other a lot, don’t finish their sentences, etc. And depending on the age, there could be slang appropriate for the time period. Hope that helps! 🙂

@e-k-seaver
I’m SUPER glad I could help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmmm….I don’t really know of anything like that, sadly. I think that’s one of the things that sets wattpad apart from other writing sites. What I do is publish chapters of one of my stories on my blog and ask for my readers to give feedback in the comments. There’s a suggestion. Sorry…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216
Dialogue used to be one of my BIGGEST struggles in writing until I listened in on a webinar for writing dialogue. One thing I do is study how other people talk. I mean you can’t do this EXACTLY ’cause people get tongue-tied and have to restart sentences, but you can implement phrases or words we use. Another thing I do is try to…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver
I had a wattpad account but I deleted it. 90% of the content put on there is immoral stuff, and wattpad gets hacked in very easy. They’ve had like two major hacks in the past five years. Personally, I think there are other better places out there for writers. So, yeah, that’s just some of my thoughts on it. Sorry if I got a bit forceful. 🙂

@issawriter17 Thanks!! 😀

@devastate-lasting
YES!!!!!!!!! That’s AWESOME!

Yea!!! When done right it can actually be REALLY amazing!!!!!!!! But, yes, I’ve seen more spy movies than read spy books.

2. Christian contemporary! Especially if it’s…[Read more]

@millennium
Probably lyrical or jazz. WOW, THAT’S AWESOME that you choreographed a dance. I’ve tried that before and normally give up about a fourth of the way in. I checked out your blog and followed it! It looks AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I just took the quiz (again, this time I’m gonna remember what I got…hopefully XD) and it says I’m an…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting
Cool!!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me neither. I searched for other Aladdin retellings so I could read something that might inspire my writing and let’s say I found maybe a handful of ones out there. (Honestly, most of them I wouldn’t read anyway ’cause of content.)

Aw THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@nova21
