I think that’s an amaaaazing start! I can put more specific, line-editing-type comments on the actual doc a bit later if you think that would be helpful, but just to get the editing ball rolling:
I think the backstory would feel stronger if we knew what Tabitha’s job was. Maybe it was one she really liked and depended on for…[Read more]

Here’s the google doc page! Feel free to tear it apart. I know it’s not great, and if you feel particular plot points need to be rewritten I’m not against it. I’ll still be editing it too.…[Read more]

I’m literally trying to catch my breath right now!
So here are some random thoughts. I think this is cool idea and I love your thoughts 😀 This was entertaining and relatable and had a quick pace that I super liked. The one thing I had a hard time with was following you through and understanding what you were saying. Maybe this wa…[Read more]

@maddiejay As far as outlining goes, very well!
In regards to actual writing, that’s a question for @kb-writer. 😀

Today, I want to give you some tips so that, when you beta read, the friend you’re working for will be thrilled they asked for your help.
Anyone who harbors private opinions about why one story is better than a…[Read more]

Hey guys, this post is just to let you know I’ll be missing in action probably most of this next week. If you need me make sure you specifically tag me, because I won’t be checking in on things regularly.
You might have heard on the news about the hurricane (I can’t believe I’m typing that) that Nebraska got, and yeah, we got hit pretty hard. M…[Read more]

Oh! That’s a great way to theme the story, @kb-writer! It works really well with @mckinley‘s point.
They’re upset for losing their job, fall into a bad group that tells them to steal, get arrested and bailed out by their friend–though they didn’t ask to be bailed out–and there you go.

@kb-writer yeah I agree. I was visualizing a guy when I suggested punching, lol.

Awesome points, @maddiejay and @mckinley. And that example was great, @kb-writer, and I feel like we should try to write something similar to that (though not necessarily that specific scenario, you understand xD).

Alright guys. Today starts another prompt war. Same rules as before—2500 word limit, plot it out, then someone writes it. It’s due to be submitted March 24th, and the google docs idea worked well last time.
This wars prompt is: write a believable conversion scene.
I’m just gonna day right now I hate conversion scenes in books, both to read and w…[Read more]

Only count words like for short stories, novels, poems, etc. not blog posts, journal entries, or articles. You can post your totals here, and…[Read more] -

Hey guys, so a few of you followed me on Instagram recently and I didn’t recognize the names at first, and I know some of you have talked about books you have available, or starting a newsletter, so I thought it would be cool if anyone had a link to something like that they’d like to share, to drop it in the comments below!
