That’s okay! It was really hectic this year, we wrote more than 4 million words! My team won again, but really barely, we were losing until the very last day, so that was exciting 😀
Wow, that’s exciting! Good job! *fist pumps*
I read that you’re going to publish it!!! That’s so exciting I’m so proud of you! I bet you worked…

Joy C. Woodbury replied to the topic Name Meanings and Comparisons! in the forum Characters 5 months, 1 week ago
Sounds fun!
For my historical fiction novel, Where Faith Remains, the main characters’ names just came to me without any thought, so I wasn’t thinking about their meanings or anything.
For my MC, Eliza, her full name is Elizabeth Jaeda, which I think is beautiful. Elizabeth means “God is my oath” and Jaeda means “wise” according t…[Read more]

Hello, CWW struck again and I have nothing to say for myself. I humbly beg for forgiveness XD
Haha, no worries! I wish I could have done CWW but I had too much going on at school, so no time. 😔
Oooh, that’s too cool! If you ever need beta-readers, I’m here, I’m ready, I want to read it!
Yay! I’ll definitely be keeping that…[Read more]

Joy C. Woodbury replied to the topic 2022 goals, anyone? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 months, 2 weeks ago
First of all, hi! 😀
Second, I actually have some clear goals for 2022 – that’s a first for me. Most of my goals, when I have them at all, are very vague and therefore don’t get accomplished because I don’t know how to accomplish them. XD
I’m working on a historical fiction novel right now called Where Faith Remains, and I hope to h…[Read more]

LOL, exactly XD Do you all also celebrate from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday?
Yep, we do!
Ohh, that’s the coolest! I read the Know the Novel article and it looks so cool! Are you going to revise it or is it just a quick project like Moonlyte?
Thanks!
I’m planning to do a few drafts and revise it. I’m hoping the first d…[Read more]

Joy C. Woodbury replied to the topic Hello everyone! in the forum Introduce Yourself 6 months, 1 week ago
Oh, it’s just the best when that happens! I love when characters just grow by themselves and become the most interesting characters! They’re even better than the characters who just appear in a spark of inspiration and stay the same all the way through.
I know, right?!? I definitely agree!
In the summer months the sun sets so…

I’M SORRY I HAVE THE MEMORY OF A GOLDFISH WITH AMNESIA! I’m here though XD
Haha, no problem! XD
Personally, I add a few side characters in each book, purely because they’re needed and settings switch around. I also tend to swap around main character perspectives, just considering which are needed in the book. Book 2 and 3 have…

Agreed. I think having one consistent type of POV probably keeps things simpler for both the author and reader. XD
*perks up* An outlaw character arc? That already sounds so good… but yeah, I can see how it would be tough!
Oh, yeesh! Yeah, I think the manipulative villains are the scariest because they’re the ones you’re most likely to meet in…[Read more]

And in the meantime I can work on the next volume! It’s always a bit different, but at least I still get to see my characters!
And maybe introduce a few new ones, too? (Which begs the question – do you think new characters should be introduced in each new book of a series? For my St. Paul series, there definitely will be a f…[Read more]

Thanks! I actually just finished my second draft today! LOL, I always forget that I really don’t like finishing projects. Like… what am I supposed to do with my life? XD There’s always like thirty seconds of relief and then overwhelming melancholy XD
Wow CONGRATS!! *cheers super loudly, throws confetti, and cuts you a slice…[Read more]

No problem at all! And HUGE congrats on doing NaNo! *gives you a high five*
LOL, SAME! I do that all the time, the time before I fall asleep is how I’ve plotted my entire third book XD I practically only ha…

ConvertKit is a good newsletter service you might like! I’ve personally decided to go with MailChimp, but I have a few friends who use ConvertKit for their newsletters, and it works great for them.
I personally enjoy it when bloggers share short stories through newsletters. You could always have that as a little bonus at the end…[Read more]
