Hi! I recently finished a book on writing that I really loved and thought I’d share it and ask for more recommendations.
I recently finished Characters Versus Plot by Jeff Gerke, and it has really helped me sort out how plotting and character go hand in hand. So, what writing books have helped you?
Do you have any books that you want to read…[Read more]

Hi everyone! Things have been very busy for me since Thanksgiving, but I hope to be more active after New Years.
@corine I write speculative adventure stories mostly. What about you?

@ashira I write Speculative Fiction, or the weird stories. My hope is to dabble in Steampunk next, but my current story is a fantasy. I’ve also written a novella in a Cyberpunk universe, and my first novel was a science fantasy. I have found that what I have been reading fiction wise influences a lot about what I write. Growing up I read a lot of…[Read more]

@ashira No, I haven’t been published before, and I’m 25. That gives me what, fifty more years to work on my stories?
@dekreel Thanks! I have a lot of favorites, it’s hard to chose just one! As a child, I loved The Horse and His Boy by C. S. Lewis. I think I read it about nine times before I was a teenager! As a teenager I loved The Hollow Kingdom…[Read more]

Hello! I joined a few days ago and realized that I missed seeing this section. Oh well. Now or never! I’m Joy! I’ve been a storyteller all my life, and a writer for the past six years or so. I’ve completed two novels (ish? They were short, so maybe more novella length?) and one novella, of which one was science fiction, one was fantasy, and the…[Read more]

@gabriellepollack I’d love to join and help with this! My Pinterest usage is more on the fun side of the spectrum, but I’d love to help in any way I can. I personally would love to see blog posts, articles, tips, and prompts. Also I’m not much of an artist lately, I haven’t made much time for it, but I am interested in the idea of an artist board too.

JoySparrow replied to the topic Pinterest, Anyone?! in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 5 months ago
I use Pinterest a decent amount! I used to be on it a ton when I was in high school. I used it for everything. Lately I’ve been using it for a lot of organizing the writing topics I’ve been studying. My interests are wide and varied. My account is full of all sorts of boards, and I’ve actually been thinking about downsizing. . . I’m happy to f…[Read more]

I’m an intermediate! My score is 43. I’m planning to continue reading books on writing, particularly on scenes and structures, and I’m hoping to start writing more short stories.

Hey! I’m doing NaNo too! This will be my second time trying it, as last year I failed miserably after coming down sick the first week and then getting busy with the holidays. I’m doing pretty good this year with it, and I’m excited about that. Though right now I’ve pretty much abandoned my original outline and I think I need to stop and work on…[Read more]
