@bookcrazygirl Yes! Definitely focus on what you like. Also, talk about how parts of the story made you feel. Chances are your friend already knows she may have spelling errors, but she probably wants to know if the story ‘works’ the way it’s supposed to. I like to know if paragraphs are confusing to someone else, or if they get a really wacky…[Read more]

Um… I didn’t make any goals last week, so I wrote about 500 words. But, I am hoping to write 11,500 words this week. We’ll see… 🙂

Updated count is 5836. 🙂

Okay, I’m at 5136 right now, and I think that will be as much as I get to post… we’ll see tomorrow…

Ack! I missed this too, but at least 1303 words so far. (I will have to check when I wrote some of the others…)

@faith_blum Welcome! I live in Texas, and I’m an INFP (97% introverted!).  I like to write fantasy and I’ve completed three books (but the first one doesn’t really count cause I wrote it in 8th grade….) I like sewing and reading and crafting generally. Plus writing. 😉

@gabriellepollack Thank you so much for this! I’ve been wondering lately if my writing is worth it. Thank you for the reminder to not give up!

I didn’t complete any of my goals. I only wrote one day this week and that was yesterday. I’ve almost figured out where my story’s headed, though, so hopefully that will help me get more writing (~1000 words this week?).

Um… I didn’t make any goals for last week and therefore didn’t get anything done… Strange how that is. I’m supposed to have more time this week, so I’m going to try to write 3000 words this week.

I’m wondering if it’s possible to combine @sleepwalkingmk ‘s idea (esp. the dialogue there) and @libby ‘s idea with the little boy? Somehow? It would provide the story with a framework, while (if from Mona Lisa’s perspective) it would still be funny?

@storyjoy Kind of, right? I don’t think I’ve ever actually met you… 🙂 Maybe this year?

Thank you! 😉

@storyjoy 7 years!!! That’s incredible! This is my fourth and last year in BB… ;(

And yes, I don’t love rock or rap either. My brothers listen to it, but I think it’s just to annoy me. 🙂

If I’m just supposed to post it here, I wrote 1925 words.

My protagonist in my current story is a young man named Jorim. He doesn’t know who his parents are, and he has faint suspicions that he might be working for the wrong side. He is slightly analytical, and thinks everything should make sense (even though it doesn’t). He’s excellent at sneaking into places and intimidating people.  And now that I…[Read more]

@gabriellepollack What exactly counts as prewriting? For example, does a character interview count as prewriting?

I only wrote enough for four days of my goal last week, so I’m hoping to make at least 1,000 words on my chapter this week and hopefully finish the chapter. 😉

Oh. Long-term goals? I’d like to finish my WIP this fall, and also hopefully get my other books into a stage where I feel ready to self-publish. 🙂

I haven’t been writing lately, so my goal this week is to write at least 200 words a day on Chapter 4 of my book, and hopefully figure out where it’s going…

I never thought I’d write fantasy.

But somehow, that’s what most of what I’m writing ends up as. I’m currently in the middle of the third book in a series, where each book is set in a different time in the same world. The current story is about a guy who joins the ruling power, gets assigned to find and capture enemies, and then finds out he’s on…[Read more]

@gabriellepollack The Opposers of Belligerence, Revived and Expanded. Usually just referred to as The Opposers. 😉 What do you write?
