LOL!! 😆
That’s the hardest thing for me, because I don’t know how quickly to start it. Some people write the inciting incident in their first chapter and some write it in the third, lol!! (I personally agree with you on that)
Thank you SO much!!!!!
I totally will, thanks!!!

I know you’ve written a bunch of great chapters!!!! 😃
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! That’s SUPER helpful!!!! I agree, first lines tend to hook readers. I do spend a lot of time on that, but I don’t want to overdue it. (I have read some books where it seems like the author spent two years writing the first line, lol!! &#x…[Read more]

Hey peoples!!! I am currently in that “writing-the-first-chapter-that-turns-out-to-be-a-dud-FIVE-THOUSAND-TIMES” phase… I may be over-exaggerating a little, but I’m sure y’all have felt like that before… 😄

I am!!! Are you working on that story w/ Arabella and November? (sry forgot the title 😬)  How far are you into it?
I have a question: do you find it easier to work on one WIP or two or more? like, when you get tired of one, you can switch to another one temporarily. or do you make yourself stick with one? i’ve been trying…[Read more]

I also use Scrivener, which I love!! So helpful. I’ll attach a screenshot below to show y’all how it works.
You have parts, chapters, and scenes (as @godlyfantasy12 mentioned) that you can create. There are also character and setting sketches. It’s basically to help keep you organized while you’re writing. (You can also change the color sche…[Read more]

Agreed. 😉
I’m serious!!! It was very realistic in that going back in time isn’t always going to work out the way you want it to, because TIME IS A FICKLE THING!!!! 😋 I especially loved how you intertwined all the backstories so beautifully. The last scene just made my mind go dead for a second, lol!!! Gre…[Read more]

@KeePers
Bulletin:
(Ooh I love that, it sounds so official) I plan on posting a daily (or weekly) writing quote here.
If that sounds like an annoyance, speak up now because you probably won’t be able to stop me once I start rolling;)
Temporary disclaimer: My internet connection will be on and off for the next week, so the times that I post will vary.
