@canadalily thanks for the tips! 😀

@freedomwriter76 Super late to the chat chat (and I feel like most of you don’t know me), but I just wanted to say the WWI WIP looks intriguing 🙂 I liked the blurbs!

And also everybody’s mood boards are  STUNNING🔥I’m not well acquainted with your WIPs, but I still found them interesting—even from  my place of ignorance.😆

@e-m-trepke glad to hear our random rants were helpful XD

Hi @e-m-trepke

Just off of the top of my head…difficult for me to define inspiration. The first thing I thought of was along the lines of what people might call their “muse.” The second was the inspiration of the Bible. The first is an abstract concept, and I’m pretty sure you’re not talking about divine inspiration. I suppose if you’re wr…[Read more]

Hello, fellow word enthusiast 🙂 I’m Naia, a college student and tutor who likes rainy days. I’ve written poetry for quite a long time, but I’m venturing out into the world of story, too.

Glad you’re here! Random get-to-know-you question: What’s the most thought-provoking thing you encountered this week–be it idea, concept,…[Read more]

It looks like Dreamhost is significantly cheaper than Bluehost for the same or better benefits, so I plan to go that route. Another thing to keep in mind (something a family member pointed out to me) is that software and other online products often go on sale for Cyber Monday, so that may be a good time to purchase things like the…

Thanks! If you like historical fiction, I’d love for you to check out my website or newsletter (my website is in my signature at the bottom of this post).

I’ve actually checked out your site before. It’s quite well done. 🙂

It will be interesting for you to find out how you approach a novel. And it’s perfectly fine if you don’t figur…

So just copy and paste whatever you want to quote in the reply box. Highlight it, and press the quotation marks on the tool bar above the reply box. When you write your own response, be sure to deactivate the quotation. 🙂

Got it, thanks! XD

@booksbyjayna

Hello! It’s nice to officially meet you 🙂

Honestly, I was kidding about the dystopia part. I was just surprised because the first three people who talked to me were dystopian writers. But historical fiction is AMAZING! I’m glad you’ve found your niche 🙂 I hope you have fun with the contemporary fiction stuff, too.

I love…[Read more]

@elanor
Thanks! 🙂

@joy-calle

Honestly, the short story I’m talking about was a project for class. I learned a lot through that whole experience. Like the fact that it’s possible to make things happen in 750 words–it’s harder, but it teaches you to make every word count. And if the word isn’t actively bringing something to the piece…AMPUTATION!

@felicity

LOL right? A girl can always dream XD

@esther-c

Aw I love poems from the 10-year-old days!

@elanor

LOL yeah I have no idea how to make it any clearer in the poem. Those trees are so cool in the wind, though. When you stand under them, they tap your head. It’s almost like the tree’s branches are chihuahua tails and the dogs are all so happy. XD

@freedomwriter76

Hello hello! Thanks for the introduction 😀 Lovely to meet you, too. I hope to chat with you soon!

History…world or U.S. or Europe or…all of it? I like history, too.

@felicity

Yeah I get you. I’ve got a healthy appreciation for grammar and I like it when people consider grammar when they write…but it’s difficult to make it interesting to teach. It would be awesome, though, to have a student come to me one day and say, “Your presentation on parts of speech was simply…groundbreaking!” But that’s highly unlikely.

@gwyndalf-the-wise

Hello hello, my ageless buddy! I like your enthusiasm for your writing projects: you’re positively dripping with smiley vibes!

And lol, yeah, I was talking about journaling. Sort of. When I said I write to cope, I mostly meant that there’s paper on me somewhere and a pen in my pocket, and when I have *things* in my head I…[Read more]

@joy-calle I’m attempting to quote you here so if I do it wrong…oops.

He was a leaning towards fire-and-brimstone, yelling and spitting in your face kind of guy. Since it was a for one of my classes last quarter and had to be less than 750 words, I didn’t get to do much character development or anything. Mostly I was like, “You know what? I…[Read more]

@booksbyjayna Thank you so much! This is awesome 🙂

@elanor

True true. Idk where in the country they are, but they have lots of them in California. They’re like weeping willows with reddish berries on them. They have a minty smell. I honestly don’t know how to make it any less abstract other than asking people to google it..😅😂

I was literally standing under a tree outside when I started wri…[Read more]
