Aw, thank you, Linyang! This really makes me feel a whoooole lot better 🙂 I can tend to think about how far I have to go rather than how far I’ve come, so if I look at things that way, it actually makes me feel a lot more confident and motivated at all the progress I’ve made! This definitely makes me feel encouraged, so thank…[Read more]

Thank you so much, Jen! That was a huge encouragement to me! Especially when you pointed out how I’m a better writer than I was yesterday… that helps me to really change my perspective on things. I tend to look at the future and how far I need to go to be a “good writer”, and instead I don’t look back at how far I’ve come. And I’ll…[Read more]

Abigail, those words literally spoke to my heart (I don’t care if that sounds weird, but it’s the absolute truth). That was such an encouragement to me!! I guess I just got so wrapped up in thinking that I was the only writer who ever struggled this badly, so I started doubting myself/my writing. But to hear that other people (and…[Read more]

OH MY WORD, you don’t know how much this post helped me! Seriously, that post was just, like, a huge bundle of encouragement. I appreciate it so much! And I agree with 100% of what you said, and it even helped me to change my perspective on my writing and to not be so perfectionistic (and to think about how God feels about it,…[Read more]

As a matter of fact, this is my most common problem as a writer. I fall into the discouraged every-aspect-of-my-writing-seems-to-stink-especially-compared-to-so and so’s-writing.
I feel you all the way on this one. And I feel the same way about my beloved/hated WIP.
I recently watched some videos from a show (that I find a…[Read more] -

Thank you!! You’ve no idea how much it helps to hear you say those things <333 And I guess I’ve never really thought about it that way. I guess I thought that, if I was doubting my writing, then it was bad. But what you said makes sense! I super appreciate the kind words. Thank you! They mean so much 🙂

Awww, thank you so much!!! <333 This brought a huge smile to my face 🙂 It makes me feel relieved that I’m not the only one who goes through this *sigh* so that’s like a huge weight off my shoulders.
I know exactly what you mean about getting bored with the story/characters. I’ve felt stuck because I keep re-reading scenes or…[Read more]

The title says it all.
I told myself I wouldn’t post this, but… I needed to feel like I wasn’t the only one who ever asked themselves if their writing was “good enough.”
Long story short, I’ve been feeling like my writing is getting me nowhere, and no matter what, I criticize it tremendously. I begin to question my plot/char…[Read more]

Awww, you got more ducklings??? THAT’S SO NEAT! *cries* *sniffles* Sorry, but I melt whenever I think about cute animals. How many of them are there? *whispers* Do you have a f…[Read more]

This is out of nowhere (sorry), but does anybody have any advice for writing a series? I’m still debating whether or not I want to turn this book into a full-fledged series (but I’m thinking that I will), and didn’t know how to end it. How much of the story do you wrap up, and how many loose ends do you leave? I just want to make sure that the pa…[Read more]

Whoa! Your story sounds soooooo neat!! It’s definitely a book I’d pick up in a bookstore 😉 (By the way, I don’t believe I’ve seen you around before. I’m Lexi, and it’s great to meet you!)

Favorite from your collages? Ah, that’s a hard one since I love them all.
I’d probably have to choose Kaizuke’s, I love inventor type characters:) - Load More
