Oooo, how fancy! XD I hope you enjoy it!

I work at an orchard! It’s really nice because it’s time outside, not using the creative side of my brain. With how much effort Author takes, it’s a huge blessing to be able to turn my brain on autopilot for a while.😂

@hybridlore

Yes, I agree; Biblical fiction is a weighty challenge to take on. The amount of research and study that has to go into it is one of the reasons I’m holding off on trying it. I want to make sure I have the basic writing skills down before I try to write something that hard. 😉 Hence, Biblical retellings! Since it’s a retelling, I hav…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Great! Best of luck with the project!

@hybridlore

I find doing a character brain dump helps a lot with fleshing out who this character is within my mind while also helping me get ideas going. So like taking a few pieces of paper, and without restriction or too much thought, freely writing down anything and everything that comes into my head about this character.

Appearance,…[Read more]

@hybridlore

The thing that gives me the most and best plot ideas is really getting to know the story’s main characters. Like really getting to know them. Knowing them to the point to which they feel like real breathing people.

Get to know their dreams, fears, greatest loves, biggest regrets, the most consequential moments of their life, their…[Read more]

@lydia-s My work starts end of May, I’ll be working for some secret compay, lol. All very exciting stuff. What is your work?

@hybridlore

Thank you very much! I can’t wait to see your ideas. 😉

@devastate-lasting

That sounds very therapeutic and highly enjoyable. I approve. XD

Oof, yes, I get that. Same here. I need to finish my novel by the end of July, so I’ve got to figure out how to balance that and starting work full time(ish). When does work start for you? Where are you working?

@freedomwriter76

*screams*

LOOK AT YOU GO, GIRLLLLLL!!!!! Aghhhh, I am so excited for you!!!🎉❤️ You have really put your heart into this story, and I am so proud of you for pushing through!

*showers you with confetti and brownies*

@lydia-s I went to Pennsylvania and lay on the grass and looked at the stars for a while a few days ago so that felt like rehab XD

Still suffering a little, trying to figure out writing things before work starts

A lot of my story ideas are either Biblical fiction or fantasy retellings of Bible stories. 😉

• Judges 6-8 meets Treasure Island.  In other words, this is Gideon with pirates. XD This is also my current WIP that I’m writing as part of the Author Conservatory, and I’m IN LOVE. I’ll make a post and share about it somewhere.
• The book of Esther…

Agh, thank you for tagging me, @freedomwriter76! It’s so good to be interacting on here. I’ve missed this place!

Love all of these story ideas!!! I love all the creativity. 😀

@devastate-lasting

Agh, you poor thing!!! How’d they go? Goodness, I hope you’re on break now. With all of that craziness, you deserve some time to rest! 😅

@smiley @dekreel @esther-c

I’ll see if I can do something! Thanks for letting me know!

@lydia-s Nice, I’m glad you’re having a good time!

Hahahhaha you have met me on my second round of exams, finals this time, plus all the work in the world you could imagine. But that’s okay, we’ll be fine…

@devastate-lasting

Once again, I come prancing in several months late… *facepalm*

Aww, I can understand that. If you ever get the chance to join, though, I can’t recommend the program highly enough! I’ve only been a part of it for 4 months, and I already feel like I got my money’s worth. 😆

And thank you! I just got graduated to drafting last we…[Read more]

@elanor

Your friends might be on to something. The words choices and flow of the poem has such an enthralling, I don’t know… texture to it?

Something about the poem feels so alive and playful. I really like it. Especially the last three lines. They are perfection.

@awsumfaith

Yo, this looks really cool! I have much respect to writers who create maps for their worlds, as its something I still aspire to do, haha.

If I had any suggestions it would to maybe make the names of each of the places on the map unique to your own world, history, and cultures.

Names like “Greenwood” and “Snowy Mountains” could be…[Read more]

@kyronthearcanin

Cool! I’ve been thinking about writing some articles as well, as I’ve had a few epiphanies and pressing thoughts while writing recently…

Anyways, as for you question, honestly the best answer I can give you is to write about something you are most captivated by at the moment. Has there been anything related to writing pressing…[Read more]

@acancello

Huh, I guess it’s not 2022 anymore lol.

But yeah, the real date is March 30th 2023 not 2022. Thanks for the heads up! Will be sure to correct it in future newsletters. 🙂
