WritingWren

@writingwren Sorry for not being able to answer right away. Would you like me to tag you in the how-to-do-role-plays topic Whaley made?

As you know, we already started, and we kinda just write whenever we feel like it. There’s not really any schedule or anything.

@writingwren

I’m about to write my own RP, so I’m gonna go ahead and say that this is right at the beginning! Others already started writing RPs on the previous pages.

@writingwren

Sorry for the late reply.

I also like politics lol

Are you in the US? Midterms was crazy…

Who is your favorite obscure Bible character? Hmmm Ehud? (Or like Samazaya but he isn’t in the Bible, he’s in the book of Enoch.)

One of these days when I’m not so busy I need to read the apocryphal books. They sound really cool.

What is you…

@writingwren I just hit this quote button, but sounds like you already tried that

idk sometimes the website is just buggy. It also might be different on a phone since that’s what I’m using.

Yayyy im so excited for thisss

@elishavet-pidyon She seems sweet <3 and I love that quote

For refference, one of Tavar’s sons is her best friend. His name is Finrian. This would be roughly a hundred years after the point I pulled Tavar for the Boy’s RP.

I love how your world building is so elaborate that you have generations of characters. It’…[Read more]

@writingwren what does CDL stand for? Character something?

There’s not usually very many of us on here so we haven’t had to do limits on authors or characters usually. It depends on the rp.

@writingwren Here’s the topic! If you read the first post, it will explain how we do role plays.

@writingwren Of course! There’s not really a limit on here. You can totally join. Whalekeeper wrote a summary of how to write role play entries under General Writing Discussions. I can tag you in it if you want, or just explain the basics here. :]

@writingwren

Best of luck, Wren! You got this!! < 3

@writingwren

That sounds like a great plan! Hoping it goes well and praying you get motivation to stick with it!

@writingwren
Hmm. Yeah, I had a similar thing going on for a bit. Your response, here are a few things I’d suggest:
First of all, I second (third? fourth?) what everyone else has been saying about finding your own process style. Once you know what to expect from yourself on the first draft, a lot of pressure can be taken away. For example, when I…[Read more]

@writingwren

Ooh, okay this is a really good question, but I think I might be able to help!

First of all, take the pressure off of yourself to find “that project.” Several years ago, when I was just starting to take writing seriously, I heard another writer call her project her “heart novel,” or something along those lines. That put in my mind…[Read more]

@writingwren

First off, here’s some applause for some impressive work you have already put into your writing! *applause*

I’d like to echo what Koshka just said. I’ve been where you are… ok, honestly, I feel like I am pretty much where you are but in a different boat. I have a series/epic saga that I love to pieces, but I finally realized that…[Read more]

@writingwren

First of all, you’ve been writing for two years and have worked on 6 drafts? That’s a lot of writing in not very much time, even if you didn’t finish or get far into some of those drafts. There’s a ton of ideas to work through and develop.

What you may be experiencing isn’t a lack of good Story. It might be a lack of understanding…[Read more]

@esther-c

we are so taking over @writingwren‘s introduction page. 😂 I’ll answer in the ChatChat.

@writingwren you are well read. Consider me impressed, new friend. Unfortunately, that means I’ve run out if recommendations.

From what you said about outlining not working really, my only piece of advice left is that you may be more of a panster, which is totally fine! However, you did mention that just writing the projects doesn’t work either.…[Read more]

(thanks for the tag @theducktator )
@writingwren

I don’t know a whole lot of YA as it’s not my main reading. But I do know some clean middle grade fiction, and some clean Christian “adult” fiction.

MG recommendation:

The Mysterious Benedict Society. While not Christian, it’s Very fun, completely clean action and adventure.

YA:

The Drafted d…[Read more]

@writingwren Don’t worry, I can’t stick to anything either. i’m mostly a fan fiction writer (The clean sort, always clean, we need more wholesome fan fiction in the world PLEASE and less of the gross nonsense fanfics are notorious for. But I guess you would know about that given that you read the bad romances. You know how much that stuff absol…[Read more]

@writingwren

I’m having a similar problem. I love my projects but I flit from one to the next and no real progress gets made, so I don’t know how much help I’ll be. As far as clean Christian books go, I generally read classics and MG. I avoid YA and adult unless recommended by people I trust or written in the olden days. If you want…[Read more]

@writingwren

Maybe consider writing something short, on a topic you like and would have fun with, and perhap isn’t even “a book.”

For example, I like cats and spy adventures. I’m considering and planning on creating a “Stop the evil cats from world domination!” escape room (I’m thing on calling it Cat-astrophe. 😼) It still will require a lot of…[Read more]
