Thank y’all for the ideas

I have a lot to think about XD

@trailblazer

I’ve thought about starting at the party, but as you said I feel that there might be too much going on

so I’ve tossed around the idea of her starting when she gets to town, or not starting with her and actually starting with Jordan and Payton, and them talking about everyone coming home

but truthfully I still need to figure out the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

What is your main idea? The big unique thing that is going to happen in this story?

and this year was no exception, so when Eliana gets back, all the kids are given orders on topic points they aren’t…[Read more]

I like that idea! A few things that came to mind that might give you some ideas of how to start it:

I’m not going to do it. I don’t have enough motivation to write te first draft of my second book, yet. I haven’t even planned it out completely yet!

I fall into the lot with Freedom, I just don’t think that’s going to work right now in 2023.

@everyone

I don’t know how to start my contemporary novel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve restarted the first chapter repeatedly

do any Contemporary writers on here have any tips or ideas??

I really need some help

@esther-c

I’ll do it, but it will just be continuing my WIP, and I’ll try to get to 50,000 words.

So the formatting is fixed, but for some reason the activity board is gone. I’m betting it might have been removed because of privacy reasons, but I don’t know. Has anyone else noticed?

@acancello

Nope, it’s gone for me too! Weird…

@fernweh_grace

This is a really cool idea! I like how you’re telling a story while still using all the prompts in order. Great job so far!

@freedomwriter76

I really like it!
