*Yells for everyone to hear* 9,212 words!!!!!!! It’s finished. (at least the first draft) Still a lot of work to get it to a readable story but….*throws confetti* Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 *Goes back and grabs sundae to celebrate.
(Oh and @kate-flournoy, do you have any more brilliant ideas? Cause if you do, I’m ready for another lot.)

@hope thanks.
@overcomer no problem. Ooh an Epic!?! Good luck. I have only just reach novellettes so I still have a distance to go. 😉 Yes, long books are great, but I still fly through them in one day. Some in half a day.:)

Writing a book so far is a confusing but fun process. The hardest part for me perhaps is to not overthink everything. I want it all to be perfect, but a perfect first draft is unrealistic, and not a very writer healthy hope …
Goodness, you said it! I struggle with the same thing. I want to make everything perfect in the first draft, and I w…[Read more]

BlueJay started the topic Song writing in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 9 years, 11 months ago
Okay. I’m stuck. But I guess that is obvious as I’m here. I need a song. It doesn’t have to be long, but I feel that I should add at least a verse or two. Or rather I need a poem. As it will be in a story with no music. It needs to runs along the theme “I love you, do you love me?” It is a song that appears in my story “The Golden Conch”.

@overcomer Thanks. *bites into cake. Yummy* Oh goody I love birthdays. *scrunches up eyes, clasps hands and makes a wish*
And just for your information I actually haven’t written a novella but a novellette. The difference is the words count. A novellette is 7,500-20,000. A novella is 20,000-50,000. And then a novel is 50,000-110,000. Any longer…[Read more] -

@overcomer I have nearly finished my first story. It has turned out to be a novellette rather than a short story, but I’m making it still count. Yes, I realized after I had decided to to it, that it is a tall goal, but even if I don’t succeed, I will have at least tried my best. 🙂
Good work with your project though. 🙂

I gotta to do this. *breaks into song*
Let it go, let it go!
Can’t hold it back anymore.
Let it go, let it go!
Turn away and slam the door.
I don’t care what they’re going to say.
Let the storm rage on.
The cold never bothered me anyway.Sorry, I just had to do that. *Hits the submit button and goes away singing at the top of her voice.*

Not that I speak in regard to need,
for I have learned in whatever
state I am, to be content:
I know how to live humbly, and
I know how to live in prosperity.
Everywhere and in all things I have
learned both to be full and to be
hungry, both to abound and to
suffer need.I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me.~ Philippians 4:11-13
