@writerlexi1216 *stretches* Hngh…right now I’m currently serialising one of my works (finally!) and now I’m working on the backlog for something else for Crazy Writing Week… Also working on a short story but at the same time I kind of want to write something else…I don’t know what though. Oh, and Thirteen Ways, of course. For once I’m on schedule.

Faith Q. started the topic Maps (creative title, I know) in the forum Fantasy 4 years, 7 months ago
Okey-doke, guys, so I’m a pantser. I started out my novel with pretty much no idea of what was going to happen when, where or to whom, and now I’m at the point (eight chapters in, actually) that I really, really need to know what my world looks like. (Kudos to all those people that know this stuff starting out, by the way.) So… how do you guys…[Read more]

Girl, I just SOOO feel ya!!!! I literally just got out of a major writing slump that I’d been in for all of June. Like writing literally blegh for me too and everything!!!!
So I guess, every writer is going to be different. For some people pushing through is what helps them. This use to help me, but well, it didn’t help this last…[Read more]

Lin replied to the topic What are the 1st three things your MC says? in the forum Characters 4 years, 7 months ago
@nova21 XD Plenty of adventures to choose from!
I love your lines as well! Dylan sounds like he’d be quite hard to work with.
@writerlexi1216 Felicity sounds like what you described her as. Nice job!
@daisy-torres I’d want to be Catherine’s friend!
@lewilliams I want to meet Horace, like, right now. He sounds so proper.
@elfwing She sounds…[Read more]

Hahaha! I already love Felicity! 😉
He totally sounds like you described him. If I had to go on an adventure now, I’d want him to be the leader! 😉
Can I hang out with Catherine for a day, please? Just a day? XD
Hahaha! Poor Horace. *cough* dumb teenagers *cough* 🙂

Elfwing replied to the topic Overcoming Writer's Burnout : in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 7 months ago
Been there. A lot.
I agree with all these fine folks!
I will break up my advice:
1: I’d say don’t try too hard on things. If you’re finding it hard, write what you can, and don’t push so hard you’re on the edge of tears (personal admonishment for myself right now XD), but as Elizabeth said, refill!!! I love writing, but at…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Ah, writer’s burnout… It’s such fun, isn’t it? :)))
As for my experiences with the subject: I went through a ~3-year period where I barely wrote at all, and am actually currently in the midst of somewhat of a dry spell. As such, a lot of what I’m about to say is advice that was given to me (much of which was said by your broth…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Aww sorry you’re burned out!!
So personally, I have a few hobbies that I like to keep up with. If I burn out on one, I focus on bettering another until I feel ready to work on the first one again. Just make sure you do something so your creative inkwell doesn’t run dry, catch my quill?
Sometimes if I burn out, I listen to…[Read more]

The title says it all, folks. I just thought it might be fun to compare what your character says to see if the dialogue truly matches their personality or not.
So I’ll share mine first!
MC is Dylan, who is stubborn, quiet, and strong-willed. A little self-protective. Lmk if his dialogue fits his personality.
1) “Better.” (*rolls eyes…

@writerlexi1216 Ah, yes, the first time I won NaNoWriMo I didn’t write another word for 4 months. Not worth it lol. But since then I’ve built up my writing muscles.
For me I just keep floundering around in water like I’m about to drown. I tell myself I’m gonna keep writing, but in reality it’s so painful I can only get out 100 words a day. But…[Read more]

ella replied to the topic Overcoming Writer's Burnout : in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 7 months ago
This is ALL too relatable, Lexi! The way I usually (try) to overcome writer’s block/burnout is picking up a different project. I have *counts Scrivener docs* 25 WIPs from the last 2 yrs. Not that they’re perfect. (Or finished.)
This way really helps me to take a step back and pick a project that I’ve been developing pre…[Read more]

I know I’m a bit late to the topic, but I wanted to see how everyone is doing! How is writing going? How is life? Personally, I haven’t been doing much writing lately, but IÂ have started playing Skyward Sword HD, which is basically the same thing, right? @scripter-of-kingdoms @seekjustice @devastate-lasting @godlyfantasy12…[Read more]

Hey guys! Before I tell you my problemo, I’ll fill you in on the story first. Here’s They Came At Night’s synopsis:
24 miles off the Island of Camino, a commercial airline goes down in the Pacific. Only one passenger survives.
Dylan, an orphan-turned-foster child, was living with his uncle when he got the chance of a lifetime: travel to the i… -
