Though, after thinking about this a while, I remember something a very smart teacher of mine said once. When asked how what he thought about swearing, he said that he usually considered about if this would hurt the person that he would say it in front of. I don’t really remember the whole conversation, but I do remember one of my classmates saying…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 OOH! That is very interesting!

@gracie-j I’ll be sure to check out LibreOffice, thank you!

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll probably look for a free alternative for Scrivener, because I have heard a lot of good things about it.

1. Overboard.

That’s too many ideas. No, no, stop. Why did you…stop getting new ideas. No. Stop. Why…why are you….why do you plan such extravagant things….

2. Scheduled.

Everything is carefully scheduled from the first day of the year to the last. Every project’s words are calculated, everything is plan…for one project.…[Read more]

@gracie-j Exactly!

@gracie-j YES, I totally agree! It takes away from the story…

@gracie-j Personally, I don’t feel comfortable reading or writing books with curse words in them (but I’m usually fine with things like “crap” or something). I understand some authors writing for the secular market might use curse words, maybe for a specific character that it seems fitting for; I guess it’s just up to the individual to figure out…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting I would recommend Scrivener, but that’s not a free software. Hmm…I use Google Docs quite a bit as well, which has worked out pretty well.

@seekjustice  Good to see you!! Hey, I’ve only read two as well. 😉 How was Time to Die? I would like to read that in the near future.

@gracie-j This is quite the touchy subject among Christians. So things I’ve noticed about myself: I really don’t like it when authors overuse cussing in books, but I’m more ok if it’s a manga or Webtoon or something like that (probably because I’m too distracted by the images to really take in the words). I guess part of the reason why I gave up…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 *heart eyes* This is so awesome! Thanks so much for putting it together! 😀

@godlyfantasy12 Thank you so much for doing this! I’ll definitely try to use it! (Also the holiday one falls right on my birthday – that day shall be called Author Day. All my characters will have to bow down to me XD jk) But yeah, thank you so much!

@godlyfantasy12

Here are some ideas (not sure if they’re good or not):

• Write a scene where your character is old and goes back in time to visit their past self at some point in your story (that may have been confusing)
• Write a scene from your book but in a side character’s POV
• Pretend you’re one of your characters for a day (do as they do,…

@godlyfantasy12 Okay, awesome, thank you! 😀 I’ll be brainstorming and let you know what I come up with…

(oh, but if some ideas happen to pop into my mind, I’ll be sure to share them 😉 )

@godlyfantasy12
Wow, this is a super cool idea! But I seem to be in the same boat as Linyang; I think I’m too busy to really participate in this, but I’ll definitely tag a bunch of people 🙂 …

@seekjustice @rochellaine @gracie-j @kathleenramm @ariel-ashira @alia @valtmy @everyone (To those I’ve tagged: feel free to tag more!)

@godlyfantasy12 That sounds like a great idea. Let me summon up some tags…

@gracie-j @kathleenramm @annika-c @nova21 @e-k-seaver @anyone-else @everyone-else @fred @bob @george @fluffiest-wisp-of-cotton-candy @you @me @the-final-crumbs

@godlyfantasy12 That sounds really cool! My family never really does anything for Advent, so I always forget when it comes around. To be honest, I’d totally do this if someone else could make me a calendar XD I’m unfortunately really busy these two days to create something for myself.

I think that creating character bios or writing short snippets…[Read more]
