@rose-colored-fancy

I can imagine! But I know WFR will be amazing and incredible! You can absolutely do this!

I’m going to be recommending it to everyone as soon as it’s out XD

Aww my goodness thank you!! <333

@rose-colored-fancy

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…

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]

Why does this sum up my everyday life? XD

Glad I’m not the only one. 😂

Woahhh that’s big. I love that, I really hope you can achieve that goal!! I mean, 20k in like two months?? That’s fantastic! Best of luck 😉

Thank you so much!

@rose-colored-fancy

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]

@erynne

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]

@cat-thompson

Hi, Cat! I do remember you. 🙂 Great to see you here on SE!

@rose-colored-fancy

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]

@rose-colored-fancy

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…

@rose-colored-fancy

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]

@rose-colored-fancy

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]

@rose-colored-fancy

Sorry my replies have been slow, NaNo is really proving to be a lot XD I can’t wait till it’s over but I’m glad I did it!

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…
