Waiiiit… isn’t the Penderwicks third person??? Or have I officially gone insane?

@esther-c

I don’t really think I’ll be able to help, cuz I’m completely out of my element when it comes to contemporary.

I don’t know about the first vs. third person problem, but if you have multiple POV characters, I’d recommend that you stick to…[Read more]

@esther-c

I generally like third person more than first person. Both are good though, so do what you think works best. Just because it’s popular doesn’t mean it’s best. I can’t help much with the rest, because I’m having the same problem. Some books that do this well are The Penderwicks, The Vanderbeekers, Cheaper by the Dozen, and The Melendy Quartet.

@esther-c

I would say, just use a lot of Abbie Emmons’ advice (I’m sure you’re probably doing that already though XD) and make everything that happens build the internal conflict more.

And about first person…obviously don’t do it if you don’t want to, but I think first person helps bring out the character’s voices a lot more. While the actual…[Read more]

@rae

I love this idea. I haven’t been on much lately but I’d definitely try to get on more to participate!

@rae

Yeah, that sounds cool!

(Funnily enough I’ve been thinking about a somewhat similar RP idea, but I didn’t propose it because as it is other RPs are struggling along. (Not that I have a problem with starting a new one if other people want to.) Basically my idea was that we could have a world where a bunch of different parts of our own wor…[Read more]

I guess I should tag some peeps. Don’t feel obligated to reply 🙃

So I need help.

XD

I’ve been plotting in my head for a contemporary novel that I’m really excited about. I love the concept, the characters, and even the setting so much! I just need a better structure for my plot. So far I’ve been writing random scenes, I just have a feeling that when I finally sit down to write the book in whole, it’s not gon…[Read more]

1.      Is Riker’s sudden panic/possible panic attack realistic? If not, does anyone that has experienced a panic attack have any pointers? (I’ve only been on the brink of one once…it was not fun🫠)

I felt like it was pretty realistic, but I’ve also never written anything like that before or experienced something like it. I a…[Read more]

Hey, everyone!! Just so y’all are aware, I’ll probably begin posting the next polls sometime after Easter. (:

@thearcaneaxiom

Is the question not “what is the answer to life, the universe, and everything”?

But why is it 42? Why not 56, or 21 or 3.1415926535897932384626433?

@stephie

I have been found out. 😬 That was a wise decision. I am now trying to narrow my two hundred suggestions down to only two.😆

@godlyfantasy12

We’ve all cheated Wyoh by sharing pics through links. Canva’s free, all you have to do is make an account and upload the pic to a design. Then share the link so anyone can view.

But if you don’t want to do that then… idk, yeah whatever 😂

@stephie

Ah, gotcha. That makes sense.

Oh, cool!!

@stephie

I could only think of one book 😭 I’ve read so many though, I don’t even know how I could only come up with one XD Maybe I’ll think of another one later, lol.

@stephie

What’s up with that jingle? I’ve got nothing in my head but the billion songs I’m trying to keep straight for choir.

Haha 😂 Do you enjoy choir though? I did it for a year and really enjoyed it. (Until the choir director changed… then it wasn’t so fun… :/)

@stephie

So, are we only allowed to suggest two books?

@rae

Awwww, poor Nahim 😭

If the answer to everything is 42, what is the question?
