@jenwriter17   It’s really good!  The only thing I can think of would to maybe spend a bit more time on the sun.  Like maybe describe the warmth she can feel on her face and things like that.  I don’t know, just a thought 🙂  But it is super good!

Also, @faith_blum  I love when you say Avensers assemble, it sounds like Avengers assemble and th…[Read more]

Well, I have something in the document now. 🙂 I didn’t use the examples you gave me, but you got my brain going, so thank you!

@faith_blum Do you want to tag everyone so that they can take a look at what I have so far in the document?

@faith_blum

Is there a word count limit? What’s the deadline?

It is finished now! @katherineh, thank you so much for the help! It’s good to have a fellow writer help out – massively encouraging.

No worries, I fixed that. 😉 One of the 26s was pointing to 24.

I’m glad I could entertain. Also, this was a really fun story to write, so thanks for letting me write most of it! I wish we could publish it…[Read more]

I’m not technically done writing this one, hmm. Choose your own adventure stories have more than one ending. I was just throwing the idea out there as a start to make sure everyone else was on board. It seems that they are, so I suppose that I need to buckle down and finish.

I kinda envisioned letting anyone else add to it, though, if they…[Read more]

hey all!

OF COURSE! put me on the lists! I would LOVE to read/edit your stories, so anytime you get a hankering for a second set of eyes, just let me know! my email is heathersamanthahallmeyer@gmail.com, so feel free to shoot me a message!

*headscratch* @faith_blum Does anyone have some guidelines for goal-setting? The idea of setting a word count goal for my writing makes me feel like a space alien, since in my mind stories are built from component parts, and without the component parts in place, no magic for me. I need the freedom to think.

Today I’m approaching the problem that…[Read more]

@faith_blum I haven’t been making weekly goals recently, but I want to get back into the swing of things. I’m putting my current story online, a chapter at a time, but I’ve been letting it stall. My goal this week is to finish the second chapter and make edits, suggested by a friend, to the first.

Couldn’t agree with this more – actually, I think I’m tempted to overdo this a bit. *hides collection of photographs and journals in dark basement*

However, for those struggling getting started with writing, this is great advice for connecting with God and making Him the central focus of your work. I wish I had read an article like this years ago…[Read more]

@faith_blum This is a great article! Relating to the schedule-making that you wrote about, I tried a few weeks ago to write out and follow a personalized schedule that had everything I needed in one day on it, with some free time– to the minute. Needless to say, it didn’t work (I need a watch), but it was an interesting exercise in getting things…[Read more]

@faith_blum Thanks so much for this! I’m struggling with making time for writing (and making myself write!), but these are great tips and I really need to put them into practice.

@christianna-hellwig Thank you! And thank you to everyone who has read through it.

@faith_blum I *finally* wrote and posted an ending that I do like, although it’s not quite as long as I had originally thought (I was planning to add one/two short bonding scenes between Loretta-Jane and Faith, but it’s fine without them and I don’t have time to…[Read more]

@faith_blum Oh yes! Sorry, I was writing it on paper and didn’t think about Google docs :/ Here’s the doc. It’s just a start for now but I’m adding more on to it on paper and will type it up today. Feel free to edit/add!

thanks @faith_blum

This is amazing advice! Thank you for posting this, @faith_blum

I’ve always been a little confused about the difference between alpha and beta readers, and this is a nice, clear definition. It reminds me of the work that I have yet to do on my current 2nd draft…

@faith_blum  Wasn’t May 3rd?
