I know you’ve written a bunch of great chapters!!!! 😃
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! That’s SUPER helpful!!!! I agree, first lines tend to hook readers. I do spend a lot of time on that, but I don’t want to overdue it. (I have read some books where it seems like the author spent two years writing the first line, lol!! &#x…[Read more]

Hey peoples!!! I am currently in that “writing-the-first-chapter-that-turns-out-to-be-a-dud-FIVE-THOUSAND-TIMES” phase… I may be over-exaggerating a little, but I’m sure y’all have felt like that before… 😄
So here are some details:Â Seia, the MC, is living in isolation from society, with only her sister and a couple of slaves as fr…[Read more]

I am!!! Are you working on that story w/ Arabella and November? (sry forgot the title 😬)  How far are you into it?
I have a question: do you find it easier to work on one WIP or two or more? like, when you get tired of one, you can switch to another one temporarily. or do you make yourself stick with one? i’ve been trying…[Read more]

I also use Scrivener, which I love!! So helpful. I’ll attach a screenshot below to show y’all how it works.
You have parts, chapters, and scenes (as @godlyfantasy12 mentioned) that you can create. There are also character and setting sketches. It’s basically to help keep you organized while you’re writing. (You can also change the color sche…[Read more]

Agreed. 😉
I’m serious!!! It was very realistic in that going back in time isn’t always going to work out the way you want it to, because TIME IS A FICKLE THING!!!! 😋 I especially loved how you intertwined all the backstories so beautifully. The last scene just made my mind go dead for a second, lol!!! Gre…[Read more]

Everything is my excuse. “Time to exercise!” “I’m going to lose my basketball skills if I don’t practice RIGHT NOW!” “Oooh, someone replied to my post!” “Nah, I’m not feeling it today…” etc. etc. etc. 😂
So yeah, I am the QUEEN of procrastination!!! 😜Â Gotta work on that…

Man, everyones replies are way too relatable. XD
Well, if makes you feel any better, what you described is also a pretty accurate description of my brain.
Haha, yes, I totally relate to the “productive” procrastination. Like when I don’t feel like writing a scene so I just create character boards on Pinterest. You…[Read more]

What’s your biggest excuse for not writing? Why?
For me it’s sleep. I usually schedule my time for writing early in the morning before anyone is up, but sometimes I’m so slow to getting out of bed that by the time I’m dressed and ready, it’s way past time to write. Oops. I love writing and can make progress on a WIP even on my most uninspired…[Read more] -
