@writerlexi1216

That’s true too:)

Yep:) I’m almost a 100% sure I’ll be writing a prequel, (how and if I go about sequels is still kind of fuzzy because tbh I think I have enough plots that won’t work in the first novel to make a series, but on the other hand, I like the idea of one large stand-alone. Though I’m seriously thinking a sequel co…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Thanks, JC! And yay! Another writer who does Biblical stories! Your novel sounds fascinating; do you start it before St. Paul’s conversion?

I have no yet read Mere Christianity; I will have to check it out! Have you read Lewis’ Til We Have Faces? It’s very good! I have not read Les Misérables or To Kill a Mockingbird either,…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Thank you, Linyang! Ooo, those sound very cool! I’ve never tried writing crime before; what is that like?

1. Hands down, my favorite movie is the recording of Jesus, a musical by Sight and Sound Theatre! I have no words for how amazing it is. XD My other favorite movies would be Sampson and Esther (both by Sight and Sound…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Thank you! I’m excited to become a part of the community!

Thanks! I’m a bit antsy to start them. 😉 I actually have four I would like to write (I suppose I am an overachiever when it comes to writing. Or maybe I’m just crazy :P), namely Simon Peter (I’m VERY excited for this one), Rahab, Ruth, and one about Jesus’ childhood, likely…[Read more]

@wrierlexi1216

Of course! I mean how could I not fangirl about Fortitude? *Thinking of one reason not to* *draws blank* *tries again* *draws another blank* *trying to is futile* IT IS THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

And everything you wrote from “of course” to “fantastic” just about made me cry. I mean it means so much to me…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Exactly! I’ll feel like I’m abandoning them:,( Thank goodness for the concept of sequels and prequels, but after that, I have no idea what I’ll do… Well, obviously I’ll work on other novels, but yeah, a writer’s first characters will always have a reserved place in their heart:)
Name finding is so much fun, I usually keep a f…[Read more]

@Kathleenramm

What are the sort of questions I ask during interviews? Dangerous question there XD I may write a long post, but let me think..
Just about anything I can think of:) Usually, I start with questions about their relationships with the characters around whether it’s a friend, enemy, or just a passer-by.
Then I ask things like how did…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Okay, first of all, I love this idea!!:D (And I know I should save this for later in the post but… it’s Newton?? 😀 OH MY GOODNESS, YES, THAT’S SO BEAUTIFUL!!! But I’ll get back to that in a moment:)
So I’m not sure if my thoughts on it are a lot different than everyone else awesome advice:)
I absolutely love what Joy said a…[Read more]

Hey! Welcome to the forum! I’m actually new as well, so I guess we’ll learn the ins and outs of this group together. 🙂

I completely agree; “erm” is a wonderful word! It’s so expressive.

So, I have to ask. Are you AQ from the AIO commenting pages? Because if so, I’m Bethel!!!

@daisy-torres

Thank you for tagging me! This sounds absolutely amazing! I write everywhere from seven-thirty-ish p.m. to eleven p.m. Central Time. I totally in, and with doing NaNoWriMo this month it will be a great help:)

Here is my first line today:)

Mejia raised her sword to the thicket, pushing it aside as she cocked her head to see beyond it and an amused look piqued her face at what she saw.

And my last line today, (it probably doesn’t make much sense because there is a lot of building up in the scene that it comes from).

She stared a moment longer and finally…

@writerlexi1216

Ooh, I LOVE THOSE!! Those are such awesome first and last lines!!!:D

@writerlexi1216

No trouble at all:) Oh! That would be such an awesome idea!! I’d love to have a book discussion about The Ranger’s Apprentice! That’d be so awesome!:D
Oh yes, it’s definitely medieval:)

It’s all true! I mean everything I say about Fortitude just comes naturally from the fact of how awesome it is!!!:D The words practically write t…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

NP, I got it in my notifications:) Ikr? Sometimes I try to edit and after I hit ‘submit’ it disappears and I’m not sure whether it ever went through or not… *sigh* oh well I suppose though:)

Totally relatable there XD But yeah, I’d miss the characters of TSW too much also if I stopped. So, *pulls out the TSW doc* I’m here for…[Read more]
