@noahlitle, I also like the idea of him being a pianist. Out of all the choices it seems like that would be easiest for you to realistically portray. 😉

@bama-rose, What I normally do for my second draft is completely rewrite it. My first draft of the story I’m working on now is so rough I know I’m going to have to do this. If you’re writing on the computer, you can make a copy of the document to make your changes in that. That’s what I do with my later drafts. It really just depends on what works…[Read more]

@bama-rose, I’ll take a break on this story for a while, and maybe work on some other stories, then I’ll probably start back with my second draft in January. Yeah, I’m still figuring out how to do the big edits (I think the term is actually macro editing) that need to be done, but I really enjoy micro editing. Have you finished your first draft…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist, Yay! That’s wonderful! 🙂 Oh, I totally understand. I’ve been really getting into setting goals lately, because I struggle so much with procrastination, but I’ve also been learning a lot about accepting grace when I fail.

Yes, I’m doing twelve illustrations for the book. So I’m almost 1/4 of the way…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist, did you get any work done on the comic? Thank you for your prayers! ❤ I’m doing the illustrations with pencil, and then I’ll use acrylics to do the cover art.

@sageinthemeadow, thanks! Are you also working on a comic?

@christieaton, that’s a great idea. Deadlines and especially daily goals really help me in writing, and…[Read more]

@christieaton, It’s beautiful! I love foxes.😊 I like how the white line seem to add movement to the piece. I don’t know if I can offer any critique, but I’ll let you know if I think of anything.

Also, just curious, what is the quote in your signature from?

@bama-rose @noahlitle, congratulations guys! You did really well!

@eden-anderson, thank you so much for being in charge of this! It really motivated me to write and I actually finished my first draft. 😀 (It’s really rough, though, so I still have a lot of work to do.)

Mmm… Pizza sounds good. 😉

@the-fledgling-artist, yes you should work on it. Don’t let fear stop you!

@writerforever, thanks. 🙂

@sageinthemeadow, oh, thank you! I really appreciate it.

Udate: I showed my sketch to the author and got the go ahead to do the real thing, so my goal is to have it done by the end of the week. Prayers would be appreciated. 🙂 Thank you guys so…[Read more]

Hey, @theinconceivable1.

Things are going pretty well for me. I achieved my goal of finishing the short story I was working on before the end of November. It’s pretty rough, but I’m satisfied with where it is. I think with a little more work, and a couple more rewrites it could be really good. Just waiting for feedback from my guild. I’m exited…[Read more]

I guess I’ll just post this month’s word count here? I wrote 10,472 words.

I hope this is the right place to do this. XP

My count for this week is 5,496 words.

@noahlitle, Yay! Can’t wait to read it. 😉

@eden-anderson,

I’m not really one of those writers who enjoys torturing characters just for the sake of torturing them. Although, in my current WIP, my character goes through so much pain that I’m actually running out of ways to describe it (maybe I just need to be more creative with my prose 😛 ). But, then my theme is kind of about pain, so I…[Read more]

@kari-karast, Oh no, what did you do?

I like dragons too, I guess I just don’t share the obsession some people have. But they can be very awesome or loveable.

@eden-anderson, yeah, *High-fives all the ENFPs*

@ericawordsmith, That’s neat that you’ve studied that a lot. I read your most recent blog post and I think I agree with you on every…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist, yes, this is my first illustration project. How’s your comic coming, by the way?

@sarah-inkdragon, Ah! That’s so cool that your favorite thing is royalty. I really struggle with coming up with how government and such works. Most of the time I just don’t worry about it, but other times I feel like it could add to my story and be helpful to know. And the layouts of my castles… Yeah, I struggle with that too. 😛 So I’m like,…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist, Oh, thank you! One of my older sister’s friends commissioned me.

@eden-anderson, Oh, I like your drawings! 😀 Especially the one of the girl. She reminds me of someone from the 1940’s. 🙂 What did you do the one of the man on the horse with?
