Woohoo! I’m actually kinda excited myself! Though not for the geometry. 😛

@kathleenramm Good luck on your story! Yes, now I think I want to incorporate at least one delivery boy henchman into a future story. I love it when henchmen have distinct personalities and appearances. Makes the story much more fun.

@daisy-torres Oo, nice! Looks great!

@kathleenramm

Okay, so I was originally gonna say I pants things, but then as I thought abt it, I realized that I legit plan nearly everything in my life. As I’m falling asleep at night, I usually dream abt two things. One, fiction, and two, the upcoming day and the events in it.

I find myself sympathizing with seekjustice and morgan on this…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Wow! this is so cool! I wanna read your book now, lol.

I love it, great job.

@kathleenramm

yes, poor Colin. It also shows how critically important parents are; if you don’t teach your child to be confident and  a little independent, they literally cannot do things for themselves. And yes, he’s not a character I want to relate to but I can and it is encouraging to see his transformation!

as for my writing style… it was…[Read more]

@elfwing

I know! I think that’s the very thing that makes him so relatable. We sympathize with him because of all the mental torture he put himself through, but at the same we are annoyed with how mean and pathetic he can be.

It’s not a character you want to relate to because, who wants to be Colin? But his positive character arc gives hope for…[Read more]

@morgan

That sound like a really fun and chill way to write. Just letting ideas flow as you write the novel.

Where you find you get the most story ideas from?

@devastate-lasting

Following characters is the best right? So many fun and out-of-no-where ideas come to me when I do that. Plus writing is so much easier.

I’ve done it with outlined…[Read more]

@nova21

Haha, that’s okay! Grace gave some great tips!

@joy-caroline

It’s cool how you just took up a pen and started writing stories when you were younger!

Funny, I don’t think I remember a time where I didn’t know what outlining was, I guess because I grew up in a family of writers. XD

It totally makes sense that you outline Biblical…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Absolutely. You’re welcome! Glad I could be helpful.

Okay great! It looks lie it went through. Here’s the rest!

Also, I try to remind myself of this: just remember you don’t have to get it perfect the first time, just write it down. But that’s easier said than done too! Then you can go back and read your draft and see where you need to tweak it. Besides, what are beta readers for. *shly raises hand…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Ok! Let’s try this again! I’ll try sending smaller sections. It looks like my post didn’t go through.
First off, I think Keziah will be an amazing addition to your novel!!! I really like her struggle with forgiveness and many others will too!

Okay, I have my top tips or things to consider:

Keziah story/arc reminds me of Corrie Ten…[Read more]

@abigail-m Sorry this took so long. I’ll answer your questions now.

how likable are the characters?

Very likeable! I do like the three that you introduced here.

If you had to eliminate all but one character, what one would you keep and why?

I’d keep Anton because I’m a sucker for minor characters. But seriously, I wouldn’t eliminate any of…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I fully pantsed some works some months ago. It was terrifying. Like, usually I have no idea where things are going when I’m writing, but at least I have an outline as a roadmap. No, for this I had one sheet of paper covered with characters I wanted to be  in it, and then another page for me to jot down ideas as I wrote.

And…[Read more]

@daisy-torres ok all good totally understand!!! But yeah if you want to in the future just lemme know 🙂
@nova21 ok no problem and thank you for the suggestions!! 🙂
@godlyfantasy12 fantastic!! just email roseoakauthor at gmail dot com when you’re ready and we’ll go from there! 😀

@joy-caroline

So what I’m catching here is that you want readers to sympathize with this Keziah. She’s a good person at heart, but is conflicted with the anger and grief that Paul has caused her. If this is what you’re going for, maybe try adding a clip of her, say, helping the needy(I understand there were quite a few of these back in Paul’s…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 haha thanks! i wanted to do it but i felt awkward only posting my own lines XD

@issawriter17 @gracie-j @anyone-else

“Thorne, we came to talk.” Lyn called out, standing on her tiptoes, as if that would help her voice carry. A muffled reply proceeded from the back. She groaned, walking to the entrance of the other room and mot…
