Okay everybody, that was a great practice round. Put away all your foods and gifts and sweep up the confetti.  We can’t exactly all come out and yell “SURPRISE” when they haven’t even walked into the room yet sooooooooo. Remember, I said the next HUMAN to join the…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 thanks! that helps. 🙂

I have a pen name for privacy reasons only, although I’ll probably change it to my real name if/when I publish.  I’m all for pen names, though–they’re fun and creative and can draw a reader in just like your cover and title can (in a way).  If you want to, I think it would be fun for you to come up with one.  That may just be me…[Read more]

Weeeell, I’ve never admitted this before, but Daisy Torres is not my real name, so–I guess that speaks for my stance XD I wanted the anonymity while still being able to write and stuff haha.

As a reader, I remember writers’ names more when I see a first and last name (Alexa Williams) than when I see initials and a last name. So…[Read more]

Ooh, I really like A.M. Williams. It does feel similar to L.M. Montgomery, which is also an elegant-sounding name. Alexa Williams sounds pretty too, though. In the end, I think it’s up to you and what you like best. I don’t know if the pen name would really matter unless you had already published a bunch of stories in a genre that…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 I believe in using a pen name, as I am right now. I just do it for privacy reasons, as this name is still as hard to pronounce as my previous name. (Not me never saying this name out loud, haha….)

Anyways, I think that A.M. Williams sounds really cool and elegant! A.M. reminds me of the morning.

@writerlexi1216 i picked the best friends. <3 {lol}

@writerlexi1216

Hmmm… this is a tough one. I don’t know how much I can help you with this but one thing I always try to remember is, what happens at the climax doesn’t matter as much as what happens leading up to it. Literally, whatever your mc has been trying to get throughout the whole story, just take it from her. If there’s some romance,…[Read more]

I think the forum ate my post, so we’re going to try this again. *headdesk*

…that awkward moment when you started a topic three weeks ago and never replied to anyone about it…oops 😛

Anyway, thanks guys for all the recommendations!!!

@nanisnook I haven’t, but since starting this topic I’ve started listening to the audio version of the first b…[Read more]

@nanisnook I haven’t, but since starting this topic I’ve started listening to the audio version of the first book and am definitely a fan!! Thanks for the rec! 😀

@lydia-s Thank you!!!…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 cool! You’re first so I’ll try to do that today 🙂

@sparksaraabbott11 If I have reference, yup!

@e-k-seaver Haha sounds like me XD and yeah I can do that!

@writerlexi1216

I appreciate the lack of smoke, very thoughtful of you.                                                                                            And I never even considered that the next person to join the forum could be something other than human! that would be quite the predicament.

@writerlexi1216

I wrote an entire post before realizing that it all could be summed up into “I just gain momentum and go where the mood takes me because I am a pantser”. So not very helpful.

Actual stuff that helps me, though…

– Having photos and music as “reference” to the mood, location, etc. It also keeps me fully immersed in my…[Read more]
