@gracie-j Ahaha thank you XD. I had good teachers. (I don’t know when twelve year olds started looking so tiny. They seem absolutely minute at this point.)

What is your biggest struggle as a writer? (Long rants welcome)
One of my biggest struggles as a writer is outlining. And more specifically, having so many different directions that I could take the story and not knowing which one to choose. I start off outlining, making cool ideas for the story, and everything is going dandy until… Well, I…[Read more] -

@leon-fleming I was told that the story was pretty much exactly like some show called Into the Woods. And the ideas were all from a prompt, so personally it didn’t feel very original, haha.
…I think this dare was of much less embarrassment for you than for the rest of us. Your writing sounds like something from 90 years ago. In a good way, of course.

@leon-fleming Ahaha thank you XD I might do that in the future after I’m done with all my current story ideas, but I feel that there are too many fairy tale retellings out there. That probably is Mr. Atkinson, judging by what came up when I Googled.
Did you happen to share yours here? I seem to have missed it.

Those stats are pretty scary. I have t0 agree @e-k-seaver , it does seem like things are declining pretty rapidly.

XD! This is such a great idea. I have to concur with someone up there somewhere, though, in that my first drafts and inspo and everything was all on paper (notebooks), so that’d be a little odd. Thoughts? XP Love all of this, though, and I wish I had the time to go through and read all of them! 🙂

@gracie-j I think I was 12…yeah, I was twelve. That was the first thing I wrote in creative writing, for a school assignment, haha.
There was a meme I saw somewhere which went like this:

You guys know that I can write 300 word sentences, right?

@e-k-seaver See, I can’t bring myself to trust those things, because I’ve gotten convincingly different results every time. And last time I took it, I was 51/49 for everything except for intro/extra, which was 60/40.

@seekerofthetruth Hey there,
Main character/protagonist: Generally when writing stories you’ll write from this character’s viewpoint. There are exceptions, of course, like Gatsby from The Great Gatsby and Ahab from Moby Dick. But generally the protagonist of the story would be the narrator. Examples would be Percy Jackson from Percy Jackson an…[Read more]
