This is Awesome!!

Here are some I found recently:

@Godlyfantasy12

Glad you found what you needed! I have to say I’m quite intrigued by the snatches you explained about the story and the scenarios! Your book sounds really cool 🙂

I’m afraid I am not much help with writing stuff most of the time, it’s like, amazing ideas or nothing, (to be honest usually nothing) but I like to try anyways,…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 so am i wrong in assuming it would be similar to a hypertrophic scar? which looks raw and fresh but is actually healed, or is it a literal open wound?

if it was an open wound that might constantly be sticky and getting dirty because of whatever factors of the story, that could, cause infection which would also contribute to it not…[Read more]

@daisy-torres @r-m-archer thank you both

yeah i know amazon isn’t great to support but if it works… gotta pick the lesser of the evils and difficulties i guess lol

I’ll check out LuLu though

Hi @joy-caroline

Thank you so much for your advice!

So far I’m sticking with one POV (third person limited).
No worries! That makes perfect sense!! I find it challenging to combine already written characters but I guess I’ll just have to brainstorm some more and then do some crunching of characters:)

God bless!

@gracie-j

Thank you so much for those 5 helpful tips!! I will definitely keep those in account going forward.
God bless!

@freedomwriter76

I don’t think we have met, but it’s wonderful to meet you!!

Thank you for helping me out! I appreciate your input, it was very helpful! I think most my characters do serve a purpose but it may be a matter of combining them.

God bless!

@joy-caroline

Aw, you’re super welcome!!! I’m so glad I was able to help!💗 And, YAY, I’m so happy to hear you love your new chapters now!!!!

@joy-caroline

Hi Joy!

I’m struggling with that too. The one thing that helped me was using the Save The Cat beat sheet. Then evaluating each scene and asking myself is it necessary or not. I also condensed a couple scenes to move it along faster.

I attached an outline I would fill out for each scene to see whether the scene was w…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Yes, definitely! My opening chapters often feel flat. I write things that happen to the characters and that I think are important, only to figure out later that it wasn’t really important or added anything to the overall story. Sometimes my opening chapters drag on, and I decide that I need to move into the plot quicker or make the…[Read more]

@lewilliams Hey! I just now saw your message to me. I seriously have no idea how I missed it. XD But anyway, to answer your question, I’m actually not on YDubs, but I do have friends who are on it.

@unsung

Ah, yes I am an editor for Elfwing’s book! I believe I know who you are!😀 What a small world we live in. XDD

Oooh, I love “The God Who Stays”!!!!!!!! 😀 That’s such a great song!!!!! Matthew West’s song, “Mended” is another one of his that I love! Music without words is really pretty!!! And Irish-type music is awesome!!!!! I’ve never…[Read more]

@unsung Hi!! It’s nice to meet you!! Welcome to the Kingdom!!! I’m glad @elfwing and @elanor got you to join!!! 😉

*high-fives for being a fellow Jesus-follower* I love Jesus and fantasy as well!!! I read your inspiration behind your username and may I just say that I love that reasoning!! 😀 It’s awesome!!!

What’s your favorite song? Favorite…[Read more]

Here’s a character board from my WIP ‘The Inventor’s Daughter’

My protag’s name is Emilia.

@elishavet-pidyon
Hi Elishavet,

All that was soooo helpful!! Especially the LOTR example! I like how you asked different questions and how it becomes the readers turn to ask or respond to those questions. I’m definitely going to contemplate that more! I think I’m getting the hang of the whole theme thing now!
I appreciate your help!!!!!!

@kathleenramm
Hi Kathleen,

Wow! Thank you that was all so helpful!!

Okay, so I guess the ‘main theme’ would be struggling to build a new identity for herself. She has to choose who she wants to define her, whether that be living the life in high society or embracing the anew life in Christ with fellow Catholics. So family, belonging, hap…[Read more]

@issawriter7
Hi Issabelle!
Thank you for your advice! Yes, That’s pretty much the theme. Finding where you truly belong and building a new identity is more what I’m aiming for.

So with what you said, then I think finding family is one of her goals that branches out from the main theme. One of the few messages would be “Family doesn’t necessa…[Read more]
