You’re very welcome!

@sageinthemeadow

Let’s see what I can come up with. *grabs baby name book*

Tristen-“impulsive” (reminds me of the Spanish word for sad)

Quintin-“planner”

Gavin-“alert, hawk”

Doyle or Doyal-“dark”

Darrell-“loved man”

Boyce-“defender”

Jerrell-“exciting”

Kip-“focused”

Mudge (last name as first name)-“friendly”

Percival or…[Read more]

@emgc I met my goal already! I’ve reached 50k in Checkmate!

@sageinthemeadow

*thinks*

*retrieves baby name book from shelf*

A few questions before I suggest anything:

1. Do you have pictures of the characters? I find that people sometimes “look” like a name, if you know what I mean. XD

2. Can you give us a bit more info about them? Age and basic personality (like shy, brash, violent, peaceful, etc.)…[Read more]

And yes, the color scheme at least has changed. It’s blue now, instead of red. Hmm….

@karthmin Happy belated birthday!

@sageinthemeadow Happy birthday!

I didn’t finish my writing goals last week. :/

But this week I’m off of school (yay!) so I get to write more. And rearrange my room.

My one goal is to hit 50k this week. I think I can do it! Assuming I don’t have another day like today where my brain stops working and I…[Read more]

I failed last week, got some done, but didn’t do most of it. 🙁

This week:

-4k in CM

-nonfiction article

-beta read

@sarah-inkdragon

Great question! I agree with Karthmin on his two points.

Daeus’ article on writing violence has some good points too. https://storyembers.org/how-should-christian-authors-depict-violence/

As I was reading that article the other day, I asked myself the question (and Daeus might have posed it, I can’t remember), “Am I writing…[Read more]

Though I didn’t post any goals here, I nearly crushed them! But I didn’t quite get there. :/

This week I will:

-write 4k in Checkmate

-submit article to theReb

-draft nonfiction article

@karthmin Okay, thanks! *grins wildly* I’ve written 4k so far!

It was amazing! *insert heart eyes*

*endless screaming*

We won? Awesome, awesome, awesome! I wish I had helped more, but absolutely amazing work guys! *goes to read our entry*

@karthmin I’m re-writing my WIP–changing tenses, POV, etc. I’m adding a bunch of stuff, so I’m writing mostly new content right now. Do I need to worry about subtracting previous word counts from Draft 2? It’s a totally new doc and I haven’t been referencing Draft 2. Sorry if that was epically confusing. 🙂

Does writing Draft 3 of my WIP count? Blog posts? Do my words from Monday (25th) count?

@emgc My goals are…meh… I’ve hardly done any work on them, but I’m about to work on my blog post!

@emgc Thank you!

@karthmin A website? Like an Erekdale blog?

My 3/11-3/17 writing goals!

(yes, I live 🙂 )

-work on Checkmate (I’m aiming to finish by my graduation in May!)

-clean email inbox

-write 2 blog posts (I’ve already done one)

-beta read

-outline/draft devotional article
