You know, I’d be happy if this was for regular school, but I’m dual-enrolled. After I graduate, I’ll be doing this same stinkin’ stuff. No rest for the weary writer. @graciegirl

I’m working on a “short story” for my creative writing portfolio. Luckily, I’m almost done with it, but I still have math, Greek Mythology, and an American Literature final paper to start…*sighs*

@gracie-girl @kate-flournoy

Also…do I already have the Inciting Incident done? Is that what you meant? @kate-flournoy

@kate-flournoy *laughs* It was actually me who didn’t see your response, instead of the other way around. Wonder how I missed that…

No, this actually makes sense. I’m a little jarred by the fact that I somehow managed to do some of what you’re saying without even knowing it. Have you ever used a cooking utensil or something, and like, you know…[Read more]

*grimaces* hang on… @kate-flournoy

@kate-flournoy I responded to your questions on my excerpt forum, just to let ya know.

Life. Reality. I’m beginning to think that life is a Writer’s worst enemy. @kate-flournoy

@graciegirl The first character of yours that @dragon-snapper listed sounds really interesting! I’m always curious to see how others go about the concept of elementals.

If one wanted to learn how to draw, how would they start? @dragon-snapper

There’s so many… :O @dragon-snapper

Really, really great drawing. There’s no way I could ever do something like that. @Christi-eaton

I’ve been babysitting since 9:30 this morning, just got back to my house 15min ago.

Just responded. @kate-flournoy

@kate-flournoy Okay. I think I’ve been thinking about the relationship between plot and characters wrong my entire life. But that’s okay. At least I’m learning the truth now, right? *sighs*

The good news is, it’s starting to make sense. So…to plan out where I want the story to go, it sounds like I need to ask myself how Kara would react to…[Read more]

I love both drawings so much.

Ah, I forgot to respond to your questions on my novel excerpt page… hang on. *flies away* @kate-flournoy

@Christi-eaton You know what? When I saw this, I realized that the girl in your drawing actually looks like a character from my current WIP. I love it! The tattoos on her arm are so unique.

@kate-flournoy Kate. The sketch is AMAZING. Oh my goodness! You are wayyyyy talented! The look in her eyes is spot-on. I can almost sense her shyness and the…[Read more]

Thank you, everyone.

It gives me a joy just to read that. I need to remember it more often. The problem is that I forget my purpose in life, and so any sort of failure seems like a defeat, but really, I’m just here as a tool, so I just need to do my best and God will make it worth while.

You and I are definitely running on the same wavelength h…[Read more]

I’m signing off as well. I didn’t actually do anything but berate myself for not doing anything, but there you go. @jane-maree @audrey-caylin

Hi all. I had a rough day today. Feeling very discouraged. I struggle with low self-confidence and grapple with loneliness. A lot. And struggle with introverted-exhaustion (I’m constantly around people) and a bit of depression as well.

All in all, I’m very overwhelmed at the moment, so I could use some prayer. I feel like God is calling me to…[Read more]

*pauses* *thinks for a moment* In all honesty, I think all the different terms and elements (no pun intended) being thrown around is really distracting me. Can we talk about plot? And character arcs? But relating to Kara and no one else?

I’m very, very overwhelmed right now. By everything you’re saying…by my complete lack of knowledge on this…[Read more]

Howdy. @jane-maree @audrey-caylin

It’s…a little vague, to be honest. I feel like I’m slowly falling into a sea of ideas and forgetting how to swim in the process. @kate-flournoy

I’m a little daunted by the fact that I have absolutely no ideas when it comes to the actual plot. Like, I get that plotting the MC’s character arc, and the ones that come alongside it, are important,…[Read more]
