That sounds awesome!
If you don’t mind, I have a question about sending writing off for feedback: how do you do it? Like where would I send it? How much do I send? I’ve looked it up, so I have the general idea, but I was wondering how other writers do it. Since I’m kinda new to the department of beta readers outside friends and family.

@issawriter7

Same here! 🙂

@r-m-archer

The premise mostly revolves around the statements “giving up isn’t an option” and “that which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” (My poor characters).  The plot is still uncertain, but that’s partly because even though I put my characters through a lot, I like them and I think they would be great in multiple stories. But I am deter…[Read more]

NP! I love research:) Sometimes it takes awhile, but it’s still fun. I may actually get a mini essay together about searching on Google, since there are a few tricks to getting to the right resources.

@kathleenramm

My writing goal this year is to finish my WIP, The Snow Warrior. 

To publish a short story.

And of course make another 50k in the next NaNoWriMo.

@issawriter7

I don’t think any of my characters would (they are all extremely stubborn. Sigh).

Who is most likely to quit their profession to be 24/7 poet.

Hey, that’s not complicated at all. I should have the answers by tonight. In fact researching these things sounds like a fun challenge.

“Read your work aloud! This is the best advice I can give. When you read aloud you can find out how much can be cut, how much is unnecessary. You hear how the story flows. And nothing teaches you as much about writing dialogue as listening to it.” – Judy Blume.

Probably Fox, from my short story, she has a great voice, (but would most likely pass up the opportunity, to be a national trick rider).

Who is most likely to catch a star inside a jar? (which is technically impossible, but still:)

@joy-caroline

Of course I’ll keep Maya in my prayers, I am so sorry. I hope everything gets better.

@issawriter7

Lila is most likely to stay up all night to finish a book.

@devastate-lasting

Morio is most likely to forget his childhood friends (although I don’t think he had any).

@writerlexi1216

My MC is most likely to survive an apocalypse.

@joy-caroline

Lila is most likely to shout “echo!”

Who is most likely to be paran…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

What is it specifically that your having trouble finding on Google? Not trying to be nosy, but researching things is kinda one of my pastimes, so maybe I can help?

@daisy-torres

Congratulations on finishing your novel!

This is such a great idea and I LOVE what everyone’s written:)

This is actually an Excerpt In Need Of Revision  from one of my projects, but it seemed like a good thing to add to this world building.

The Docks

Behind me was the village of SilverKey, beyond that was fields, rolling flowered hills, woods and then the towering mountains.

@issawriter7

Thank you:) *wipes perspiration from brow* I haven’t done that many words inside two hours since NaNoWriMo.
I’m glad you got to watch the Hobbit (I have a yet to watch it, but I want to sooo bad.)

@joy-caroline

You also:)

@joy-caroline

It’s been great writing with you to! 🙂

@joy-caroline

310 is really good. Much better than when I do ‘0’ a day.

@joy-caroline

That sounds like an awesome method! I may try it myself sometime:)

@joy-caroline

I’m two minutes away from the two hours and I’ll admit that’s the most words I’ve gotten in a single day all month!

My last sentence is:

‘Since she was unable to relate her plan to them, they all had to place their faith in her that she knew what she was doing.’

Okay, maybe not Leo Tolstoy.
But this was really fun:)
