@iluvhim18 XD

Y’know, it would be fun if we had a topic to just post last lines from a writing day…

@elfwing Nice! I love the thought you’ve put into this!

@godlyfantasy12 You’re looking at a person who worldbuilds as she writes. On the other hand, for maps I usually just draw them by hand. So I’m afraid I can’t be of much help, ahhh….

@joy-caroline Mm….years ago, when I first started writing, I got a story idea. But it was on the deeper side, so I decided to let it sit and wait, and only just started writing it now. And I’m glad that I let it wait, even though I had really wanted to start it back then. So in the same way, I suggest you let this story idea sit and wait until…[Read more]

@elfwing Those sound awesome! Do you have a favorite?

@kathleenramm Sure, sure. What did I write…uh…

Complete sentence, right.

“Oh? Then who will?”

Lowkey wish it was more interesting, haha…

@joy-caroline

I definitely think they’re similar enough! 😀

@joy-caroline Yeah, I think they’re similar enough. They’re both part of the Christian genre, which I think is broader.

@kathleenramm Ah, short stories are really effective! I have a lot started but I don’t know how short or long they’re gonna be just yet…

Recently, I guess has been more of scheduling things and getting my priorities straight. For the past year I’ve just been falling behind on my writing schedule of 5 pgs a day and ending up having to cram…[Read more]

@gracie-j Glad I could help! Be warned, writing by hand has its disadvantages (namely, typing it all out again) but I do recommend it but as a distraction-free method!

@gracie-j Eyy, thanks for the tag! I’ll just answer your questions one by one.

1. Since I handwrite, my handwriting is so messy that I just ignore whatever I wrote beforehand. Also, writing with pen means I can’t edit or delete.

2. When I’m on computer I try not to do second drafts. Although, I will admit, sometimes I do need second drafts to…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Word sprints might help. Just set a timer and go without stopping. I don’t know if you use Scrivener, but it has this really cool feature where when you go to full screen typing mode, it has a setting that will only let you see the line that you’re typing (or a couple behind) to stay focused. My drafts are messy, but I just tell myself…[Read more]

@elfwing Whoa, that sounds amazing! Reminds me vaguely of this movie I once watched called Maquia…

Is your main character part of the Silyans?

@ariel-f Ah, I’ve been meaning to read some Star Wars books. I have, mainly, one that’s been sitting by my couch for years. The movie adaptions are really good though.

Oh, you should try it sometime! It’s quite good!

Ah, unfortunately I am not talented enough to write such a beautiful lyric. It’s a translation from Kenshi Yonezu’s “Campanella”,…[Read more]

@elfwing Anything you want! Here’s to discussing whatever aspect of your WIP you want to discuss.

@elanor Nice, nice! Glad you’ve picked it back up!

@elanor I’ve been maybe writing 5-6 years? What about you?

Oo, yes, those books are really awesome! I enjoy being taken for a ride where I don’t know what will happen.

@lydia-s Thank you! Found it on Pinterest!

@elanor I play piano and do ballet! I write mainly crime, fantasy, and school life stories.

@elfwing Ey thanks! I’ll take a look at it soon!
