@william-starkey Come back, my good sir!

@william-starkey I was just about to say that @gracie-j did too, and probably more than me XD But here she is herself!

@william-starkey Dude, I missed you. Please stay.

@william-starkey You’re alive.

@gracie-j Oops, here’s the link then.

@joy-caroline When I posted the above I hadn’t refreshed the page yet. I’m relieved to find out I’m not the only one.

@kathleenramm Do I have to have…finished the book?

I remember starting the Penderwick Papers…I dunno if I ever finished it. Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, I started it right after reading Oliver Twist so I really couldn’t stomach all the rich people and parties and stuff like that…

Okay, as for one I actually read all the way through, I didn’t…[Read more]

@gracie-j Ah, well, I still use it… When I started listening to music I used this app called Netease Cloud Music, which is from China, and I still use it the most often to this day. There’s no ads, though most popular songs I’m not able to listen to in this country. Then the year before last I started using Spotify, and man, was it an…[Read more]

@gracie-j I have not yet made any playlists and I hate Spotify with a passion but let me see what I can whip up sometime!

well that turned out odd…

@gracie-j Awesome! 😀

Here’s mine (for my superhero WIP, Ignite)

@joy-caroline Coughing in old novels always meant tuberculosis. So if the character has any symptoms, that could help.

Also if he takes pills or needs injections or something you could also make someone accidentally open  his bag once…and then the character can come and quickly take it away and say they’re for someone else or something. I…[Read more]

@issawriter7

Hey there! I’m so sorry to hear that your story was rejected. That’s really hard to deal with. I remember my very first rejection and how crushing it was, and honestly how crushing every other rejection has been since then. Rejection isn’t ever easy, but unfortunately it’s just a part of how the writer’s life goes.

What keeps me…[Read more]

@reaganramm I would be interested either way! There’s plenty of tips I could glean from a show dedicated to different types of creators, even though I’m not very creative apart from writing. But a show dedicated just to writing would also be immensely helpful!

@gracie-j That’s SO COOL! *frantically thinks of things for my WIPs’ boxes*

@gracie-j Ooh…nice idea! Unfortunately I’m not quite one to have many items that fit stories…I’ll probably just try to make story/character aesthetics instead. I haven’t made many before…I like the idea, though.

@gracie-j She was 19! Pretty crazy, right? But also gives us a lot of hope that maybe we too can write something just as good…

@seekjustice

Signing off now.  Nice chatting with you!

Happy writing!

@seekjustice

Well, I really liked the first draft of the first book, which I think wasn’t originally intended to be a retelling at all, if I recall correctly?  So unless you feel it’s necessary to go along with your original plans, I’m sure you’d do great with a non-retelling plot.  Or maybe you could do something Scarlet Pimpernel inspired, w…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yeah, that’s probably an idea. I really want to finish the trilogy this year so I’m rereading the first two so I can get a good idea. The original plot was a Scarlet Pimpernel retelling but the Scarlet Pimpernel is very different to the other two so the third book was coming off more as a standalone story and it just wasn’t working.…[Read more]
