I have been slaving on mine own WIP. ‘Tis a trying journey.
(Just spent a day trying to write deliberately bad poetry because said WIP is a romance novel parody.)

Yep I’ll have more time for writing now! I plan to put up the first part of my WIP for review once I get through some rather troublesome scenes… *glares at the big blank space in the middle of my chapter*

Good news: My project and exams are over now! (Though I am not too sure how well I did 🤣)
Thanks for the prayers! 😀

These are all so funny!!
So… I dug up one of my own stories. This little masterpiece came about because a five-year-old was a little too crazy about cats. *rubs hand together* Guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat and not be boring at all.
Once there was a family of cats. One snowy winter night their mother invited her kittens in to…[Read more]

NC Stokes replied to the topic MC Issues in the forum Characters 8 years ago
@sarah-anson I know what it’s like to have a MC that just. Won’t. Be. Compelling!!! *tears out hair* The MC of my story that is currently on hold was like that. She had a backstory I loved, she was quirky, realistic, and had a story goal. But what I found was holding her back from being interesting (or even likeable) was that she was kind of in…[Read more]

Oops sorry. I put away the file and closed the link for this project because I wanted to keep my focus on my WIP (which I’m thinking of getting some reviews for as well). But I’ll still like to know your thoughts this! The link should be working now. Thanks!

@ingridrd Ooo! She looks awesome!
*draws out briefcase of collages* I made this one for the MC of a short story I’m writing (slowly), Abilene. I didn’t find any pictures that looked exactly like her, but this one is close enough.

*dusts cobwebs off of thread with the exuberance of a fairy godmother* I made a thing, y’all. I’d like to call it “Brant at his worst.” Very artsy title, I know. I’ve learned from this experience that Brant is near imposable to find collage material for. 😛 *present collage*

NC Stokes replied to the topic Just wondering… in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years ago
@epicaddie2 Hm, good question. I would say my three biggest questions are: *dramatic pause* How do I grip readers and hook them into the story? Are my characters flawed, human, and relatable enough? Where’s the chocolate? *ahem* I mean… How do I find my writing voice?
Hope that is helpful. 🙂 Wait, do you have a blog? *excited sidelong glance*
