Came back for a re-read and it’s just as thought-provoking and inspiring as the first time I read it!

@missfaeriekaiti Agreed! Marketing kind of terrifies me a little bit.

Oh, great! We have ideas already! Anyone wanna create a doc? Schedule looks like a good idea! So we have our dramatic setting (or an idea, if anyone else wants to pitch in others), what about our beautiful ordinary item?

@brandon-miller Okay, that makes sense! Seems fair. Thanks!

@brandon-miller Thanks! It’s not over yet, so hopefully I can keep it up! Ought to have had a world war to contribute to! 😂
Well, it wasn’t an official YWW conference through Brett or Jaquelle, but three students organized a gathering of YDubers and the other three instructors were able to make it, which was super cool. It was absolutely…[Read more]

@brandon-miller Tomorrow’s the end of the fourth week and I haven’t missed a day yet! Well, except for the very first day because I discovered the challenge the evening it started. It’s definitely been a challenge some days, but I think it’s also been a great way to start developing my consistency muscles. Writing even a few hundred words a day…[Read more]

Coralie replied to the topic ENDGAME in the forum Story Analysis 7 years ago
@brandon-miller First of all, I only went to watch Endgame cause my students threatened to spoil it for me. Otherwise, I had planned to wait until it came out so I didn’t have to pay to go to the theaters XD That said, I think my experience was a little tainted by some slight resentment. I almost felt bullied into watching the movie rather than…[Read more]

Coralie replied to the topic Traditional vs Self Publishing in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 7 years ago
Ooh, this is intriguing! You know, I have that little child inside of me that always dreamed of traditional publishing, but the more I learn about the two, the more I wonder. Indie publishing sounds like the author has more freedom and choices, but it also sounds like more work (not that traditional publishing doesn’t sound like work! Cause it…[Read more]

@pookiemonster Thanks for the link! Subscribed! Also!!! I HAVE RESOURCES FOR STEAMPUNK TO HELP! Sorry about the caps XD I spend days searching for your post on YDubs!

Coralie replied to the topic Professional Edits: How To in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 7 years ago
I love the breakdown between types of editing here. I’m kind of a perfectionist myself, but no matter how many times I comb through my own work, I know I’m bound to miss something. Plus, I’m too emotionally invested and am liable to miss big picture pieces too! I think editors are worth their weight in gold…if you find the right ones. I’ve never…[Read more]

Well, add another 893 words for me for tonight. I’ll try to see if I can add any more tomorrow. My total for the week is now: 2526

@missfaeriekaiti Whoa! Really?! That’s…wow. I didn’t know that! Yippee!!! 😀
@brandon-miller XD Well, that is encouraging. It sure did feel like it, but not after Lynn’s revelation!
Calling it a night at 1633. Did another sprint, but not for writing. Maybe more this weekend? Night, y’all!

@missfaeriekaiti Great update! This is inspiring! I’m counting down the days til we get out for summer! (22!! Well, 22 school days, that is) So, hopefully I can pound out some writing then!

This article is a goldmine! I love this! Thank you so much for writing and publishing this here! I love the way you suggest tying details back to something more meaningful in the character’s story. What a great development idea!

@brandon-miller At 1633 for the night! Probably going for one more sprint. Whoot whoot! (It almost sounds silly to be so excited over so few words XD But excited I am!)

Coralie replied to the topic Finding Writing Time in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 7 years, 2 months ago
@brandon-miller Glad to hear it! I remember you saying it was something you enjoyed and that your boss was super encouraging of your writing journey. Just figured I’d check in XD Sounds like you’ve been busy, though!
I know that feeling. All. Too. Well. :/
@missfaeriekaiti I can’t wait to see if it helps any!
