We need to keep this thread alive, guys!! What’s going on?? XDD
How are y’all doing? What’s been going on in your writing and non-writing lives? Fill me in! I’ve not been doing much, I’ve started writing my second book in my present day trilogy (some of you already know :P) Outside of my writing life, I recently had an anaphylactic attack, which…[Read more]

Natalie C. started the topic in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 3 months ago
So I recently had two or three ideas that really need to go in my WIP. The problem is that I’m already like a quarter into it. They’re pretty big parts of it (the main character’s father is dead, for example) so I’m trying to decide whether I should go back and add them in now, since they’ll affect the story later on in pretty big ways, or just w…[Read more]

@gracie-j Thanks for the tag!!!!!! 🙂
@nova21 Wait, we have an “ultimate beta reader list”??? Uh, I didn’t know that.🤔 XD
@elfwing I love fantasy, so I’m definitely interested!!!!! At the moment my free time is kinda taken up by an anthology that I’m helping to publish. Come October, though, I should be able to do it.

@nova21 hi ella! I know a girl named ella who goes to a classical christian school! I don’t think she’s into writing, though. I don’t do sports, but I might someday! I started wanting to do volleyball after watching haikyu lol. I love all kinds of chocolate, but I have to say, milk chocolate is probably my favorite. I like people, but I’m d…[Read more]

@nova21 (Sorry I’m late.) Oooh, this sounds like fun!!!!!!! 😀 Girl, Dylan’s dialogue TOTALLY fits his personality!! 😉 I love it!!
So, my MC is Delano. Some of his personalities: listener/organized/super secretive.

Kathleen replied to the topic What are the 2 (or 3) biggest stakes in your story? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 3 months ago
I love hearing what movies or books inspired writers to write their own stories. It’s so fun to see one person’s story inspire another story that possibly will inspire yet another person’s story. XD
It’s really cool how you were able to take all of your favorite things about stories and make them into your own story.
Have you ever…[Read more]

That sounds really interesting! The world where anyone could be insane is so cool and works so well with the MC’s desire for family. It sets up a really clear desire vs fear.
Where did you get the idea for Spirals?
I really love these kind of simple yet really intriguing premises. I tend to overcomplicate things in…[Read more]

First off, Gollum impressions are amazing!! I was thinking I might say autumn because my birthday is in October! I have not thought about publishing bc im nowhere near finishing the rough draft. I think I would rather spend a year inside, bc i am an extreme introvert and going without shelter for a week would definitely kill me. 😛 Ok if…[Read more]

Hi Ella! Don’t worry about irrational fears, I am terrified of whales soooo… 😀
Oooh in my free time I like to read, draw, play board games (though nobody ever plays them with me :P), play with my little bros, and practice my Gollum impersonation. I do not play any sports, but I will start archery this year, so we will see how that…[Read more]

That’s so cool! That’s hilarious, quail marching behind him? LOL! I know, scorpions are just… freaky. I found a dead one in our pool and I didn’t go in for about a week!

Yikes! I know, right? One time, I went to our bedroom closet, turned, and BOOM! One was sitting there on the wall! I heard a pastor refer to scorpions as sneaky. Yep. Definitely sneaky!
Haha! Yeah, it’s like that in our family. We’ll be driving along, someone sees a deer, and by then it’s gone. I hope you get that picture someday!
Cool!…[Read more]

Oh that’s terrifying! Thanks 😉
Awesome! My favorite subject last year was geometry and this year I’m really looking forward to biology. I didn’t have a great experience in my literature class but I think this year will be great.

Hi Ella! Thanks so much visiting! Glad you like it.
Aww, thanks! We have wild bunnies in our backyard and we feed them during the summer. Sometimes, if you hold really still, and squat down low, they’ll come close enough to take their picture! 🙂 Do you have any wildlife around your house?-
That’s awesome! I love trying to take pics of wildlife (but it can be pretty frustrating bc most animals don’t appreciate it 😉) I live in the south so we get a lot of reptilian things… XD Snakes, lizards, even scorpions! Not as cute as bunnies, but still pretty interesting. XD In the mornings on my way to school I often see deer too. And…[Read more]

Hi y’all!! so, I’m looking for beta readers, as betrayed by the title.
I’m not sure if you like fantasy or not, but if you do then this is a good opportunity for it!! I do not have a strict dead-line, but I’d love some feedback by the end of the year to see if I need to make any major changes…

OH NO!! I will DEFINITELY pray right this very moment! So so so sorry to hear that! 😭
Praying for her now, I’m SO sorrry!
@scripter-of-kingdoms @nova21 Thank y’all so muchhh!!
@daisy-torres
Oh my goodness, of course I’ll pray for her!! I’m so sorry to hear that, that must be hard. 🙁 (You’ll be in my prayers as well!)
@gracie-j @writerlexi1216 Thank you guys so much!!!
I have an update, but we don’t know if it’s good or bad yet. The hospital was so full of patients with covid that she couldn’t get in. They put her n oxygen and sent her home saying she has a virus. She literally PASSED OUT from lack of oxygen in the ER because it took so long. They didn’t even…[Read more]
I will!! Thank you so much Gracie <3
@daisy-torres I just now saw this, but I will DEFINITELY pray for your aunt!!!🙏 I hope everything is alright!<3
Thank you so much!!! She’s actually doing a LOT better, so thank y’all sooo much for y’all’s prayers!!!
I’m soo glad to hear she’s doing much better!!!!
Anytime you need me to pray for something or someone, I’m always here!! <333
Aww, thank you so much!! You’re too sweet! I’ll take you up on that some day XD And same goes for me! Any time you need a prayer buddy just let me know!
Thank you so much for being my prayer buddy!!!<333
Could you pray for my uncle? He's in the hospital and has covid and pneumonia.
I’m soooo sorry I didn’t see your message!!! I will DEFINITELY pray with you!! How is he doing?? @mkfairygirl
@daisy-torres It’s alright. 🙂 Thank you!! He’s out of the hospital now but is still experiencing symptoms and having trouble breathing.
@mkfairygirl I’m glad to hear he’s out of the hospital!! My grandma just got it recently and was experiencing a lot of aching in her joints. If he has that, he may wanna try keeping himself warm, as that stops inflammation *cough* or so @elfwing says XD But it definitely helped my grandma with that. Also the doctor told my grandma to keep moving…[Read more]
@mkfairygirl aw I’m sorry, that’s kind of scary 🙁
I do have some tips, I was sick for over 6 weeks with long covid and almost hospitalized, and although I didn’t have pneumonia, my lungs were pretty bad.
I’m still struggling with tiredness and achiness and loss of taste and smell a year later. If I’m around people for two hours and it exhausts…[Read more]
@elfwing Awww girll you still don’t have your taste and smell back? Poor thing!! I read several articles online where people were able to get it back by stimulating those areas of their brains! Try picking up random objects and focusing on the way they smell. My grandma lost her taste and smell too, but she can taste salty and sweet things. Maybe…[Read more]
@daisy-torres My mom has tried the essential oil trick but all it did was clear my sinuses haha. What happens when people lose their sense of smell and taste to covid, is that the inflammation sometimes causes damages the nerve endings, affecting smell and taste. I was sick for almost two months, so I guess it did *shrugs
I have tried…[Read more]
@elfwing My mom was saying she saw a tiktok video where people were roasting a whole orange on an open fire, and once it had grill marks on it they sliced it open and added brown sugar inside and ate it. Supposedly the combination of sweet and sour, plus the scent of the grilling, is enough to stimulate the area of the brain that can’t smell/taste…[Read more]
