Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Have you ever pantsed a novel? in the forum Plotting 3 years, 3 months ago
@kathleenramm I fully pantsed some works some months ago. It was terrifying. Like, usually I have no idea where things are going when I’m writing, but at least I have an outline as a roadmap. No, for this I had one sheet of paper covered with characters I wanted to be in it, and then another page for me to jot down ideas as I wrote.

That’s interesting. It would be cool to look back through the book to find what exactly it was missing that made you unable to connect. That’s what I love to do when I read a book I don’t like. Pinpoint everything little thing that made me dislike it. It really helps me out with my writing.
Ooo, what book was the best book you’ve read…[Read more]

Ooo, that sounds really cool. The vibe sounds like something I’d definitely be into.
Did you have any favorite characters in the book?
Animal behaviour books? Is there a reason, or do you just like to learn about animals? I’m intrigued haha. XD
Oof. Yeah, pretty much every story hinges on the characters. If I don’t…[Read more]

Mary G started the topic Advice for starting a Blog/Porfolio in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 3 months ago
Hey ya’ll,
As you can see by the title, I’m trying to start a Portfolio/Blog. I’m using Wix to host it. Does anyone have any tips or advice on making an engaging website, and what it should/shouldn’t include? Also, when you have a blog, I’ve read that you should stick to one topic, is that true?? Or can I write about anything I think people would…[Read more]

Okey-doke, guys, so I’m a pantser. I started out my novel with pretty much no idea of what was going to happen when, where or to whom, and now I’m at the point (eight chapters in, actually) that I really, really need to know what my world looks like. (Kudos to all those people that know this stuff starting out, by the way.) So… how do you guys…[Read more]

I admit that I laughed out loud reading those and I imagine the first one has to do with the results of said werewolf abilities?

The title says it all, folks. I just thought it might be fun to compare what your character says to see if the dialogue truly matches their personality or not.
So I’ll share mine first!
MC is Dylan, who is stubborn, quiet, and strong-willed. A little self-protective. Lmk if his dialogue fits his personality.

Basically, my WIP is struggling! 🙂
So my main question is, what qualifies as a “first draft?” When writers say that, do they mean the first draft of the whole book?? Or the first…[Read more]
