@jenwriter17 Ooohhh… Those are awesome.

Here’s a few I made for Sector One –

@dekreel (Here are some of those collages… I’m going to wait a bit before I post them on my blog though, because I haven’t introduced my novel on there yet. XD)

You know you’re a writer when you type out Douglas Macauthor instead of Douglas Macarthur on quizlet and end up getting it wrong. Multiple times. Ugh.

@dekreel @sam-kowal explained a motif really well — a reoccurring image or element in a story. I’m pretty sure it could be a symbol too? But a symbol would be more of an object that represents an abstract idea, like Jack Sparrow’s compass represents his choices. A theme is the central idea of your novel: justice, forgiveness, love, etc (and a…[Read more]

@clairec this sounds amazing! I’ve been using Scrivener for over six months now and it’s been perfect for my organizer brain 😉

( @seekjustice aw, thanks for tagging me 😀 )

@clairec this sounds like a really exciting opportunity! My main bit of advice is to be honest: write from your heart. People can connect with your posts much easier when you’re being honest with them and writing what you love. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable. I’ve noticed that with Christian-themed…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting super cool! Thanks for tagging me @Daeus.

The primary reason I use notebooks is so I can have something to jot notes in when I’m not at my computer, but this looks like an awesome program for organizing stuff, which I need lots of help with, 😛 so I’m going to check it out!

@daeus Sort of. I basically took all of your advice and binge-fixed my book. XD So although I didn’t rewrite it, it has drastically improved.

*nods elvishly* I am forever in your debt.

@clairec I’m not sure what type of advice you’re looking for, so I’m going to dump it here. 😛

If you can make a way for people to follow you, do so. That will help so that people come back to your blog. And make the follow button easy to find. I doesn’t like it when I can’t find the follow button on blogs. Dragon Snapper no like. 😛

But…[Read more]

@dekreel You are infinitely awesome. 😛

And I’m sure your work is fine. The main reason that Sector One jumped from awful to … well, that, is probably @daeus. Thanks Daeus. 😛

@clairec  Oh praise the Lord!  So glad you all are safe.  🙂

@jessi-rae I thought the same thing! JOIN THE FORUMS PLZZZZ!!!!

And the explaining….*earth-shaking groan*….If I offhandedly mention my book in public, and someone says, “Oh cool! What’s it about?” I have a scripted response to prevent complete rambling.

“It’s a fantasy book, and it’s got dragons and stuff.”

No one really asks any questions…[Read more]

Bye, @dekreel!

Oya, @dekreel! So…I am in this, correct? I can never remember these things…..

@rochellaine Sorry, I was out for a bit. Everything except the “just living books”, as I find those rather boring. (I’m more of an adventure-oriented girl, if ya hadn’t noticed.)

@rochellaine FREE IS VERY GOOD. Yes, recommendations would be nice. Thank you very much! 🙂

@rochellaine I’ve read A Voice In The Wilderness and The Enchanted Barn by her, and I’ve read those 7 times each I love them so much. Her love stories are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

I don’t really know if I’ve read any books written then. I don’t really check, buut I have a suspicion I’ve mostly read books written in the last ten or twenty years.…[Read more]

@dekreel Maaaaaaaaaaybe……

@rochellaine that sounds awesome! Have you read A Voice In The Wilderness by…uh…hold on. *looks at book on Kindle* Grace Livingston Hill? I LOVE that book!

@rochellaine I can’t bring myself to skip. IT GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING IN ME! I must write linearly, for some strange reason. *shrugs* What’s the plot of your western? Is it the one with the snake?

@rochellaine Still working on Embers Burning, (as it’s still my only major project) and I haven’t gotten far. I’ve sort of worked myself into a corner, as it were, because I know what needs to happen LATER, but I need to get past what’s happening NOW, and what’s happening now is rather tricky, yet important. (That statement is basically the last…[Read more]
