@precious-y wow, those look interesting and like they’re totally worth doing!

Mary G started the topic Advice for starting a Blog/Porfolio in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 3 months ago
Hey ya’ll,
As you can see by the title, I’m trying to start a Portfolio/Blog. I’m using Wix to host it. Does anyone have any tips or advice on making an engaging website, and what it should/shouldn’t include? Also, when you have a blog, I’ve read that you should stick to one topic, is that true?? Or can I write about anything I think people would…[Read more]

@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.

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]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What are the 1st three things your MC says? in the forum Characters 3 years, 4 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.

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 3 years, 4 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]

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]

OH NO!! I will DEFINITELY pray right this very moment! So so so sorry to hear that! 😭
Praying for her now, I’m SO sorrry!
@scripter-of-kingdoms @nova21 Thank y’all so muchhh!!
@daisy-torres
Oh my goodness, of course I’ll pray for her!! I’m so sorry to hear that, that must be hard. 🙁 (You’ll be in my prayers as well!)
@gracie-j @writerlexi1216 Thank you guys so much!!!
I have an update, but we don’t know if it’s good or bad yet. The hospital was so full of patients with covid that she couldn’t get in. They put her n oxygen and sent her home saying she has a virus. She literally PASSED OUT from lack of oxygen in the ER because it took so long. They didn’t even…[Read more]
I will!! Thank you so much Gracie <3
@daisy-torres I just now saw this, but I will DEFINITELY pray for your aunt!!!🙏 I hope everything is alright!<3
Thank you so much!!! She’s actually doing a LOT better, so thank y’all sooo much for y’all’s prayers!!!
I’m soo glad to hear she’s doing much better!!!!
Anytime you need me to pray for something or someone, I’m always here!! <333
Aww, thank you so much!! You’re too sweet! I’ll take you up on that some day XD And same goes for me! Any time you need a prayer buddy just let me know!
Thank you so much for being my prayer buddy!!!<333
Could you pray for my uncle? He's in the hospital and has covid and pneumonia.
I’m soooo sorry I didn’t see your message!!! I will DEFINITELY pray with you!! How is he doing?? @mkfairygirl
@daisy-torres It’s alright. 🙂 Thank you!! He’s out of the hospital now but is still experiencing symptoms and having trouble breathing.
@mkfairygirl I’m glad to hear he’s out of the hospital!! My grandma just got it recently and was experiencing a lot of aching in her joints. If he has that, he may wanna try keeping himself warm, as that stops inflammation *cough* or so @elfwing says XD But it definitely helped my grandma with that. Also the doctor told my grandma to keep moving…[Read more]
@mkfairygirl aw I’m sorry, that’s kind of scary 🙁
I do have some tips, I was sick for over 6 weeks with long covid and almost hospitalized, and although I didn’t have pneumonia, my lungs were pretty bad.
I’m still struggling with tiredness and achiness and loss of taste and smell a year later. If I’m around people for two hours and it exhausts…[Read more]
@elfwing Awww girll you still don’t have your taste and smell back? Poor thing!! I read several articles online where people were able to get it back by stimulating those areas of their brains! Try picking up random objects and focusing on the way they smell. My grandma lost her taste and smell too, but she can taste salty and sweet things. Maybe…[Read more]
@daisy-torres My mom has tried the essential oil trick but all it did was clear my sinuses haha. What happens when people lose their sense of smell and taste to covid, is that the inflammation sometimes causes damages the nerve endings, affecting smell and taste. I was sick for almost two months, so I guess it did *shrugs
I have tried…[Read more]
@elfwing My mom was saying she saw a tiktok video where people were roasting a whole orange on an open fire, and once it had grill marks on it they sliced it open and added brown sugar inside and ate it. Supposedly the combination of sweet and sour, plus the scent of the grilling, is enough to stimulate the area of the brain that can’t smell/taste…[Read more]
