I’m still learning from it, even though I got it a couple years ago. I’m currently referencing Structuring Your Novel by K. M. Weiland a lot. It’ really helping me with pacing, which *pulls down visor on helmet* is an ongoing battle for me. *heroic music plays in the background.*

Thanks for your replies! I’m so excited for the new year & all its new writing adventures 😍.

I write fantasy or dystopian adventure, although I do struggle to finish my projects. I’ve also startedย  to write poetry but that’s still in its early days.

I’d love to see it thrive, but a community needs people.

Heads up! Unfortunately, I’ll have to remove some people if they don’t make an appearance. I also plan to add some new people soon.

I will set up two boards dedicated to writing. The first will be for writing tips, posts, articles, etc. so we can compile cool articles and promote each other.

The second will be dedicated to story inspiration. ๐Ÿ˜€ I think we will center it around character inspiration, scene…[Read more]

So nice to meet you! I love Speculative fiction and your novels/novellas sound super interesting. You also said you enjoy some poetry writing, so I’ll ask about that as well, since other people perhaps haven’t yet. XD What style of poetry is your favorite? ๐Ÿ˜€ Do you have any favorite poets?
