Do we have a schedule? I’m getting ready to head out of town for two weeks so I could bring it with me.

Did you finish your third draft @gabriellepollack ? I got mine done Saturday 🙂

I know it’s practically the end of the week, but my goal is to finish the third draft of my WIP – almost there! It’s going to take a lot of writing today and tomorrow, but I think I can make it. 🙂

I think another factor is when an author doesn’t know their own characters. That’s something I believe I struggle with – keeping my characters consistent and knowing how they would react to things so that it doesn’t seem random or out of place. If you don’t know your characters, you can’t make their emotion believable.

I vote for The Hobbit or Pride and Prejudice

We could do something a little bit older like Little Women or Pride and Prejudice.

@gabriellepollack Because his parents died at such a young age, his personality and who he is was still being formed. When his uncle took him under his care, Will was mostly left to himself to deal with the pain and heal from it. Because of that, he now thinks that he must deal with pain on his own. He’s been taught not to bother people with his…[Read more]

Will doesn’t want anyone to see him in pain. After his father was thought to be killed in action and his mother and unborn sister died, he was left to heal himself as an eight year old. He wants to be strong enough to do what needs to be done without anyone else’s help. When someone brings up his pain, he changes the subject immediately. He is…[Read more]

@gabriellepollack I wrote every day except for Sunday (which I still count as a success) and enjoyed most of it. 🙂

@gabriellepollack Where do we submit our wordcounts tomorrow?

@naomijackson You’re getting your book published! Congratulations! I hope that you’ll be able to find joy even in the less fun things this week 😉

I just signed up. Do we get to count next Monday’s words too @gabriellepollack ?

Keep writing every day. It’s a busy week for me, so that will probably be hard enough. 🙂 Also, enjoy writing. I don’t want to think of it as something that has to get done, but of something I love to do.

@gabriellepollack I made it! Consistency is something I struggle with, but I’ve had a mentor encouraging me and holding me accountable, so that’s helped a lot.

8 or 9 chapters isn’t bad – plus, it’s a new week. We get to start over again 😉

My goal was just to write every day. I’ll be done once I write today 😀

I haven’t posted in about a month and a half, but other than that, I’m usually pretty consistent. And I’m looking to get started again in the next couple weeks.

No social media yet. Still working on my platform.

@morreafirebird I’ve heard that the best social media platforms are the ones that you will use…[Read more]

You’re not quite the last @naomijackson 🙂

1. I mostly write historical fiction/fantasy. My favorite time periods are medieval and WW2.

2. My current WIP is called “Following Orders” It’s about a squire and King Arthur’s daughter on a mission to create an alliance in order to save Camelot from certain destruction. The story themes center around…[Read more]
