@godlyfantasy12 Sure thing.

The great gods of the wind surrounded her, for she had violated the order of the sacred plains.

@_delta-leigh_ Hiya, welcome to the Kingdom!

Your hobbies all sound really interesting. I also enjoy music, and if I had more time, there would be a lot of other things I’d like to do for fun. Alas, I don’t.

I see that most here have already covered the usual bulk of questions, so…

Do you mind sharing anything about your WIP? Anything about the world?

@kathleenramm Nice; I use Google docs a lot as well.

@gracie-j I just downloaded LibreOffice, and am excited to try it out! I also downloaded Quoll Writer; it seems very close to a free alternative to Scrivener. Thanks for the suggestion!

@devastate-lasting

I use good ol’ google docs. Because of the simplicity and I can easily share docs with my siblings. But I’ve heard a lot of good things about Scrivener and been wanting to try it out for a while.

Hi! And welcome to the forum! Here’s a virtual hot chocolate to warm your hands.

Did you say drawing, linguistics, bookbinding, and music? Those are some of my favorite things too! Along with writing of course. What languages do you know/ are learning?

It’s great that you get to write with your friend. I love to write with a few…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Then disregard everything that I’ve just said.

Oh, to have graduated…literally counting down the days…

@godlyfantasy12 If you’re not in high school yet run while you can, kid…. Jk, jk. But enjoy your lasting time while you can.

@godlyfantasy12 The term of “free time” is right now on another plane of existence from me…it’s be so long…so many years…

@godlyfantasy12 Oh…to have free time…and a wii….

@godlyfantasy12 That sounds great! I just finished four pages in my WIP, and now I am going to be finishing homework.

It’s really fun to see how each of us likes to describe our writing process. And although we each have our own unique spin on the three words, there’re also a lot of interesting similarities. As Gracie pointed out, we all tend to procrastinate, get distracted easily, be…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Me? Since I have a tight writing schedule, I think, “Ah, I’m very excited that by this time next year, I’ll hopefully be writing ‘this’. Also stuff like, ‘If I don’t finish this now, then I can’t get to that.'”

@gracie-j Excellent points, Grace. Thank you for it. I get what you’re saying now, and it makes everything a lot clearer.

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.

@kathleenramm

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

I find curse words, jarring, unnecessary, and just brings down the overall enjoyment of the book. Like @jenwriter17 mentioned, I totally don’t mind a book saying “he cursed” especially if that particular character is the kind of person to do so, but I instantly get put off if there’s actual curse words in it. I’m not sure why, but all I…[Read more]

@gracie-j Exactly!
