@naiya-dyani Thank you so much! I’ll definitely read those articles, and I really like the bribing idea! I’ll have to come up with something to offer, maybe a short story or poem. Thanks again!

@pookiemonster Thank you so much for the tag! I almost forgot it was Word War week!

This looks fun! Count me in, if it isn’t too late! I’ll do my best to keep on schedule 🙂

Hi guys! Wow, what a cool discussion we’ve got going on!

I’m not sure which animal would make the best pet in my WIP’s world. One of my MCs has a little dog named Fifer. He looks like a cross between a Shiba-Inu and a corgi, is puppy sized, and has antlers! According to this MC, the dogs around the world have a variety of different features, like…[Read more]

Oh boy, a word war! I’m pretty sure I wrote a sizable chunk of my WIP during this week, so I’ll check that word count and do my best to write as much as I can tomorrow to add to it! 🙂

I’ve always leaned towards the idea of traditional publishing, though the idea of finding a literary agent has always seemed daunting! But, like Brandon said, a team that knows the publishing industry would hopefully not allow me to release a book that needed improvements.

This is super helpful stuff! Thank you! 🙂

Hi all! I’ve been so inactive on forums this past month, I’ve just been super busy finishing up school! I didn’t realize there was another word war either, bummer!

@missfaeriekaiti Ohhh okay, thank you so much! 🙂

Oh no, just seeing the link now! I hope I’m not too late! Quick question: the form requires an answer to “What’s your forum tag?” I’m sorry, but what exactly does that mean?

Final count: 3787 words 🙂

This word war has actually been pretty good timing for me! At this point my editing project has involved a lot of rewriting rather than meticulous editing so I’ve been doing a lot of actual writing this week! And y’all are doing amazing! Let’s keep up the good work! 🙂

@brandon-miller Thanks for that article reference! It was very helpful! And good luck this summer with your own editor searching endeavors! 🙂

@brandon-miller Ah yes, rewrites have become a friend all too familiar haha! I really like that rewriting with a specific goal idea! That may help me a lot! Thanks so much! And good luck to you too! 🙂

Not gonna lie, finding an editor didn’t really occur to me as something majorly important until quite recently, mainly because of the expenses and…[Read more]

Welcome to the guild @therealameliahoch and @e_elaine_soup5!  🙂

@brandon-miller Thank you for that insightful beta reader post! I was lucky enough to find a good handful of beta readers who have done a wonderful job helping me polish up and further develop my novel! I still find myself drafting my work over and over again and I feel kind of…[Read more]
