YES! amen!

I’m doing well. Are you?

Cool, thanks for the links! I’m definitely going to look into the functions more.

That’s so interesting! I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks!

@wolverinerm

😂 Don’t worry, I get what you’re saying, so it doesn’t sound terrible. Haha!

@corine

Ohh that makes so much sense! I didn’t think of it that way, but it totally makes sense.

Hi Corine!

I love your view of romance! That’s incredibly beautiful.

I love reading romance, mostly Historical romance. Historical romance is beautiful to me because it captures the beauty of something we’re losing today: Chivalry.  I think chivalry is very important and there’s so little of it left in our culture today. People dont…[Read more]

Hmm, I can’t find that article… Can you link to it please?

@daeus-lamb

Thank you so much for the advises!

You can even write a story that just brightens someone’s day or reenergizes them

Well, if it’s everything I’ve done, so I just sent the reader to Hell reenergized…

Anyway, after praying, I think that God wants me to wait with m…[Read more]

Thank you for your input. I agree with using the same God and Holy Spirit; my issue is more how to portay Jesus. I don’t agree with neglecting the death and resurrection, as that is what redeems us.

Now, while my tale isn’t about the death and resurrection, if I want it to have Christianity, at some point the “Jesus figure” would’ve had…[Read more]

Awesome, thank you! This definitely clears up some questions. And gives me some ideas. 😁 Thanks!

Ooh, favorite books! A wonderful thing to discuss. 🙂 My favorite books are The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien, North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell, Emma by Jane Austen, Outlaws of Time series by N.D. Wilson, Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, Mara Daughter of the Nile by Eloise Jarvis McGraw, Through the Looking Glass by…[Read more]

I’m sorry November has been so crazy and NaNo didn’t turn out the way you wanted. 😥 But you are absolutely right about progress! You might not 50,000 but your writing still counts…your still making progress. And that’s what matters. ❤️

Here…have some pizza and…[Read more]

I got 258!

Go again? 😛

@corine

Thanks!

I’m sorry November’s been tough for you. You can do it!!

I certainly don’t mind you responding. One can never have to much good advise. 😀

I have found that my main female character is an introvert and the male lead is an extrovert. Should make for an interesting dynamic, haha. I’ve yet to take the test for the side characters, but I will soon. (Wish me luck 😉 )

@corine

I am the sam…[Read more]

@corine Oh, no, I’m not in college. I mean, I’ve graduated high school but I’m not doing college…anyway, it’s complicated kinda. 😉 I’m just congratulating all of you college students out there doing nano! 😀

Knowing your characters is a good thing, but not always the easiest of missions to accomplish.

I know there’s no “perfect” list of ‘how to’s’ in writing. But there are times I wish there were. I tend to distrust my own instincts and…talent? (Does that sound stupid and vain?) I want other people’s opinions, yet I’m to sacred to ask f…[Read more]

I just took the test for my two protagonists, and it was surprisingly difficult and accurate. I’d never tried to get inside the mind of my characters that deeply before and it was eye opening, to say the least. I still need to do it twice more, which should be interesting. I’ll let you know how it goes. 🙂

I am curious, (and feel fre…[Read more]

Wow, ok, thank you. I didn’t even know such a thing existed. I will check it out now.

Thanks again. 😀

@evelyn

I did this to you. I drug you into NaNo without ideas or plans. *whispers* Sorry. 😳 (but I’m still glad you’re doing it.🙃)

Umm…yeah, I have no idea why I said that it starts tomorrow. For some reason my week was messed up…[Read more]

@evelyn I love all the different characters you have! I hope you find a way to put them all together. 😀

@jenwriter17 Welcome Jenna! 😀 Did Mari make that profile photo for you? Because I love it. <3

And your novel! *gasps* So fabulous. I’m loving the aesthetics, too.

@eden-anderson *Falls…[Read more]

@corine Ooh, interesting. Can I ask what her disability is? (I’m just curious.) Still-developing magic is super fun! 🙂

Welcome to the Official Place For SE NaNoWriMo Peeps to Gather. 🙃

Here shall we come to host word sprints/wars, discuss our WIPs, encourage each other and otherwise just have a BLAST!! 🥳🎉🎊🤩

Alright. *cracks knuckles*

Okay, so first off, I’m just going to give a total disclaimer – I love magic in books. So yes. I’m a big fan of good implementation of magic in all it’s properties in books and movies.

But now, let’s crack down on exactly what ‘good implementation’ means. First off – magic, defined by the wonderful internet:…[Read more]

I so meant to reply to this… but I kept forgetting when I was at the keyboard. *Facepalms*

ANYWAY!!

Yes, absolutely. I think it is totally fine to have a world that works differently from ours, but just so long as we know that the power isn’t representing how demonic powers work in our own world. I believe there should be an ult…[Read more]

Tagging some more: @corine @faith_blum @mariposa @gabriele-pollack @dekreel @ashira @theresa-play

Okay, you’re welcome! Yes, that is true!

Anyway…

I’ve really enjoyed beta reading in the past, but I haven’t done so in a while. So I thought I’d ask to see if anyone was looking for a beta reader currently??? Also, if you’re free and want to offer to beta read for anyone…[Read more]

I love this topic… I really love this question.

So magic… I could say so much about this.

To start off I’ll give my background with magic and why I think we need to be really careful of it, and then I’ll explain how I do believe it can be used.

When I was 12 I had an unpleasant experience with a friend who took magic way too…[Read more]

@ncstokes Yay! *dances around in spaghetti*

Well, since the first time I tried NaNo I failed miserably at not even making it halfway, I would stick with @seekjustice and @r-m-archer‘s awesome tips. 😉

@r-m-archer has some great points! I’ve also completed NaNo twice and all the things she said have worked really well for me. I also tend to have a reward system in place. For example, when I reach 10k I buy myself a packet of lollies or a chocolate bar. And I do that going up 10k everytime, until I get to 50k when I buy myself an…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist Welcome back Fledge! How was it?

@corine Ha! dankjewel! 🙂

@evelyn Ooh! I love it! ❤️ It’s so pretty!

(This has been a lot of fun…I know I’ve been slacking off posting on here the past couple of weeks, but I’m hoping to do another one again soon.)

Wow, that’s really pretty! You have beautiful hand-writing! ❤
