@alia My feelings exactly XD

I’ll be around for a bit 🙂 How are you doing?

This is SO TRUE and so needed in the Christian world today. People can get so stuck on labels and being prejudice against people who believe a little different. But if we all worship the same Father, Son, & Holy Spirit then why do the other things matter so much?

Love this, @joy-caroline !

This is a great topic! I struggled a bit with just following every single tip and piece of advice I’d heard too. It took me a while to learn that I will love writing more and create better stories if I made my own creative process. I think I can say that I’ve overcome this, but I still struggle a lot with comparing myself to others/their writing…[Read more]

@rochellaine

😀 @alia suggested that and she also created the hashtag #bringthemback2021 for Zac and Jonas XD

@godlyfantasy12 Ahaha thanks for your two cents. I would say that it would partially be because of myself and my expectations for myself (I had pretty much decided that this was gonna be the job route that I was gonna take since I was twelve or thirteen, before I started writing) and partially the environment I was raised in (practicality and…[Read more]

@larchness Ah thank you! It’s taking a really long time but I’ll be glad to finish it one day!

Oh…well…if we’re all pouring out some emotions here…

Sometimes I grow really sad when I think about my future, and how I’m not going to become a full-time author. It doesn’t support, yeah, yeah…

Because recently I’ve discovered how much I love writing. And when you apply for colleges they tell you to do what you love, but honestly, for…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Ahh yeah brainstorming is super fun! Good luck!

@joy-caroline Ah okay! Maybe you can make like the mom have a scene where she’s thinking about her kids or something and sees the brother and thinks that he’d be the same age as her own son…or something…maybe he looks like her husband…something like that…

@larchness My fantasy saga consists of thirteen series that are interconnected, so I think it fits pretty nicely XD

@writerlexi1216 Lennox would rather walk on his hands.

@nova21 Laurel would choose city.

Would your character rather be a solo artist or in a band?

@joy-caroline Did you say never find out? Oof…uh…definitely physical features should be key. And maybe mannerisms. Other than that I’m not sure…are their parents still alive?

@godlyfantasy12 Ooh nice! I’ll have to check out Canva’s bookmark feature sometime. (Not that I use bookmarks often…I use whatever piece of paper is closest to me lol)

@godlyfantasy12 These look really great! How did you make them?

@scoutfinch180 Nah, it’s not Christian. It’s a magazine that publishes a single short story every three weeks or so. To be honest I just looked up places to submit short stories and went down the list for the criteria.

@issawriter7 Sure I’ll tell you! I considered One Teen Story, but they aren’t open right now, and I don’t really write about the…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Edward Tulane! I loved that book as a kid! It always made me cry but it was so beautiful…

@nova21 Don’t know if I have written a good chapter in my life but I do know that I like first chapters that do some explaining! Or at least show a bit of what the mc is like. Maybe like a scene, then intro? Not sure. I’m excited to see what everyone else says!

@godlyfantasy12 I’m prepping some things…finishing homework…trying to catch up on my missed writing over the weekend…

@godlyfantasy12
I downloaded Quoll Writer as well as LibreOffice but for now am usually using WPS Office since it’s most similar to Word…I backup my things in Google Drive, though with Quoll it’s kinda hard to do so…

I really like using Scrivener and ProWritingAid. I also use Abbie Emmons’ 3-Act Story Structure worksheet and How to Write a Novel Using the Snowflake Method by Randy Ingermanson.

I also have a second blog with a page for a bunch of resources (click here). 🙂
