Alien and Sojourner in a Foreign Land

@kathleenramm “I’m tired. I have homework. I’ll do it afterward. I’m not feeling it.”

Mainly those, honestly. But if I can force myself to start, I can force myself to finish.

@gracie-j Ahh thanks for your encouragement! Only downside is having to decipher all my handwriting and type it all in, but I’m not gonna think about that for now, haha.

@issawriter7 Of course!

@gracie-j As you probably know by now, I a) am working on a very long fantasy project right now, and b), writing it all by hand. As you also probably know, I have a specific size of notebook I like to use, so that I can keep my word count, with one installment per notebook…

Last year I was calculating how long it would take me to finish…[Read more]

@gracie-j Hmmm…thanks for your input! What would you define as a novella collection, and how would I query it? I’ve read somewhere that if you want to query a short story collection usually you have to have a novel out first. Should I work on my 70-80k work then and try to get that out first?

Oof…having similar content, haha…I don’t read…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 It’s been going pretty good! I’ve been keeping up with my new schedule of 5 pgs per day, and I’ll be finishing this a lot quicker than I did before.

I started my other small WIP, but haven’t got very far yet, but I did plot the whole thing! So I’m excited.

I also finished a short story during CWW! Very happy even though I cried…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver Ayeeeee! (Of course, if we weren’t in a forum setting but somewhere like Discord, you might think different XD)

@joy-caroline I don’t know anything, but I was also thinking about this, and I think I’m gonna try to publish a 30k work before a 180k work. Hopefully someone else can provide some insight!

@e-k-seaver I got ISTJ, which is quite interesting. I remember that was the one my dad got. I’ll have to wait and see if I can relate to it.

@kathleenramm XD I was kind of overwhelmed at first too but after like two or three chapters that no longer became a problem. I should read some of her other stuff too…

@ugroza Every time I take the thing I get something different, but I usually get INFJ, INFP, or ISFJ. I like writing fantasy, crime, slice of life.

I read Summer of the Swans a couple of days ago. 1970 middle-grade children’s fiction about a girl during puberty and her autistic brother. I thought it was a sweet, quick read. I haven’t touched a book like that in literal years, so it kind of brought me back to when I was a kid.

@godlyfantasy12 That looks lit! I’d love to find out more about her!

@kathleenramm (Realistic!) Ooh, I read the first book of All the Wrong Questions a long time ago. Never got around to the others, though.

@lewilliams Professor Layton! Never played but I do know about him.

@abigail-m She’s my dad’s favorite English author! I highly recommend And Then There Were None!

@nova21 Nice collages! I love the color palettes!

@ugroza Nicely done! Now I want to hear more about your novel!

@gracie-j According to Google, the definition of mystery is: “a novel, play, or movie dealing with a puzzling crime, especially a murder.”

I haven’t read that many mysteries in my lifetime, but I did enjoy the ones which I did read. I think that a good mystery is one which allows the reader to guess at what is going to happen, and make it…[Read more]

@gracie-j Thank you! I’ll post it after editing some parts and I’ll be sure to tag you!

@ugroza Fun topic! Ahh I have way too many characters…and I do like all of them to some degree…

I feel like the more complex my character is, the more I like them, but I also feel like half the time it’s only pity. There are ones which are fun to write, of course. Hmm…

I’ll have to think about this for a little while! Who is your favorite…[Read more]

@gracie-j Your collages look fantastic! I really like the frames you chose for the quotes for your characters.

Here is a collage for a short story of mine that I’ll probably ask for critique on in the near future…
