ella replied to the topic What was your favorite and least favorite thing about the last book you read in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years, 1 month ago
Great topic! …now I have to remember what I read last! 😆 I’m pretty sure it was The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen. My favorite thing was probably the MC, Sage’s, personality. He was street-smart and sarcastic, but also noble. My least favorite thing was the pace. A lot of the time it was super slow, with occas…[Read more]

No problem!! *I tried refraining from the all caps button, but *sigh* it was just too good!* And thank you! Once this summer comes, I’m sure I’ll be back to reading more frequently 🙂
Haha, yes, he does! And yet I still keep thinking of ways to make him suffer more… sorry, my poor characters… Though, I guess that only makes the…[Read more]

So thank you for the warning, but I just re-read everything and fangirled over your characters all over again!! I mean, seriously, this sounds like my kind of book, which I don’t say very often!! 🙂 You’ve crafted such an incredible, full-of-life world that sounds like such an interesting setting for a story (I adore winter themes) and…[Read more]

So relatable… I spent over half my ‘writing time’ actually editing and not writing, which is why NaNo sounded super helpful to me. I can’t wait to start! 🙂 I’m really glad I have these tips (and quotes) as a prep, too!

Alexa Autorski replied to the topic Favorite Lines of Dialogue from your WIP? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 1 month ago
I know! It’s such a temptation! *takes deep breath* *moves finger away from all caps button* Of course! I think it sounds super interesting and not the typical romantic boat ride that you see all the time XD Oh, that’s so frustrating about writing hate-to-love romance… Newton and Caira won’t stop bickering and I’m just calmly sitting…[Read more]

Abigail.M. replied to the topic Favorite Lines of Dialogue from your WIP? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 1 month ago
THANK YOU SO MUCH TOO!!!
(Curse that all caps button for being such a temptation to use all the time XD ).
Seriously though, I appreciate it:) Yeah, the boat ride was awkward, (but surprisingly extremely fun to write). It’s hilarious/sometimes sweet/frustrating when they bicker and get at each other because I know that they will…[Read more] -
Abigail.M. replied to the topic WIP Chat! in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 1 month ago
I understand exactly what you mean. I can write a fifty-word dialogue exchange, then mull over it for a half-hour wondering all the ways I could edit it. So yep, NaNoWriMo is a nice break from editing:)
No problem, it’s the least a fellow WriMo-er can do to warn you of the upcoming month! -

So as I said, I probablyÂ
monologuetalk/intro some about my five primary characters a bit.The protagonist of TSW is Mejia, (whom I still have to invent a Russian variant of that name for *sigh*…)
She is right up there in the top characters for complicated/tragic pasts and one of the strongest characters of TSW. She is a sixteen-year-old…[Read more] -

Abigail.M. replied to the topic Character Chat! in the forum Characters 5 years, 1 month ago
Precisely! And that’s true, I guess that when the good things happen to them, it’s even better because of how much it will contrast to them suffering, (*puts hands up in defense as my characters glare at me*).
*Whew* I’m glad it wasn’t un-legible. I love wolves too, and they fit in pretty nicely Birch Woods. Thank you incredibly…[Read more] -

Awww, THANK YOU! Really, all of your feedback makes me feel so warm inside and really makes me smile!! 🙂 I’m sooo happy you love it!! Aww, I feel so sorry for Filip! He seems like such a sweet character.
And *trying super hard not to write in all caps but failing miserably* THAT SCENE SOUNDS SO AMAZING!! *Whoops…* I absolutely love…[Read more]

OOoh, girl, your story was SPECTACULAR!!!!! I loooved how you mixed a few fairytales together and how it TOTALLY didn’t end up how I expected it. Plus, the SUSPENSE!!!! I mean, WHO POISONED THE PRINCESS?????!!!!! I. Need. To. Know. 😉 And as @gracie-j said it was actually really hilarious. Plus, I like having the whole deep…[Read more]

So I wrote an informally structured haiku about writing and decided to share it here:)
Write. Write a story,
And find its worth, then draw a
line and shake the earth. -

What do I love? I LOVE to be with my characters again! It’s like I miss them! So I am happy when I get to be with them again.
Never Alone!

Alexa Autorski replied to the topic Character Chat! in the forum Characters 5 years, 1 month ago
Exactly!! XD I feel like I have such an awkward relationship with my characters because, while I love them, I’m responsible for them suffering all the time… *sigh* But I guess that only makes the happy ending more happier, so it isn’t all terrible.
And no, it wasn’t messy at all! I understood it perfectly, and *gasps* I adore…[Read more]

Of course!! Your posts are always helpful!! 🙂 Yay, finally I don’t have to edit all the time! *Whew!* That sounds bad, but I’m a nut when it comes to editing right after I type, so it feels good to ditch that for a while and focus on getting new words down instead. I’m glad you’re looking forward to it, too! I’m super optimistic about…[Read more]

NP! It’s perfectly fine and honestly, it didn’t take you all that long.

And YES! This is one sport where making messes is highly encouraged because you never know what awesome stuff can become of it! 😀 And one of the few rules that WriMo has is no editing…[Read more] - Load More
