I’m going to finish a short story for class, send in my main college essay (I’m actually doing that right now and procrastinating whoops) and maybe write another chapter on my book! Almost out of the woods–literally, in the novel’s case ;P

I’m shooting to get my college applications done this week–all I have left are those pesky essays. Other than that, I’ve almost finished a short story for my creative writing class and I’m getting inspired to finish my main project. Here’s to hoping that writer’s block doesn’t make another surprise appearance!

@dragongeek same here! There’s so much we can do with it and we can mesh it with our other ideas if we want.

@libby I’m so sorry–you’ll be in my prayers! Let me know if anything changes or if you need me to pray for anything else. <3

Laurel replied to the topic Character Names in the forum Avensbeck Writing Discussions 6 years, 4 months ago
I’ve never really thought about this before! In the past I’ve used a name generator but I’ve thought of a few for future stories:
Girls: Rose, Jane, Kate, Jacqueline, Laine, Ruby, Lilian, Mary, Hallie
Boys: Jason, Chance, Chase, Ryan, Mike, Bo, Kyle, Sam, Lukas
My current protagonists are named Sadie Ryans, Wyatt Dickson, and Theo Knapp–I used…[Read more]

Hey folks! Thought I’d drop in to see how everything’s going–love the ideas so far! Especially the time-traveling and perspective ones haha. Let me know if there’s anything I can help with–I’ve got a short school week coming up so I think I can find time to contribute!
Good luck everyone!

@christianna-hellwig your story sounds really interesting! I’ll have to go look it up 🙂 how did you come up with the premise?
Thank you so much for your advice! I really wasn’t sure which way to go but you’re right that how #4 goes will largely depend on #1 and everything else in between. I’d love to share it with you sometime!

I’m going to try to finish what I have on the outline for Blood Brothers. And get some college essays done (ugh).
Good luck everyone!

I listened to the podcast episode on brainstorming and made a map of my story so far—I haven’t acted on the plan yet but I feel like I’m a bit more in control. As someone who tends to write from the seat of my pants I’m hoping this helps me focus!
Good luck Avensers! Y’all got this!

@Libby I’m so sorry to hear about what’s going on in Japan. I’ll keep them in my prayers!
@serenity I’ll be praying for your friend situation—I had a hard time with friends for most of the past few years so I know how difficult that must be.
I have a quick prayer request too—my best friend’s uncle died last Sunday. If y’all could pray for his fa…[Read more]

Everyone’s stories sound so cool!! I’m dying to read all of them now.
My main book is called Blood Brothers and it’s set in 1992. It’s about these three kids who get lost in the woods after a tornado flips over their track bus. One of them’s super naive and scared of pretty much everything, one of them is basically a lone wolf school bully, an…[Read more]

@gabriellepollack Thank you! I’ll be sure to check it out 🙂

I guess I don’t want stories to feel overdramatic and forced. I have a hard time knowing how much emotion is appropriate for a scene, especially a sad one, because it takes a lot to make me cry or feel really strong emotions when reading or watching a show or movie. Do y’all have any tips for that?

This week, I’d like to make more time to work on personal projects. I’m in a creative writing class at school now so I’ll hopefully have a little built-in time to do that! My mom apparently told my teacher all about my book on curriculum night (cue inward screaming) but at least she gave me a heads-up so I don’t go into panic mode when I have cl…[Read more]

@libby Uncle Tom’s Cabin was my summer reading last year! I loved how Tom’s faith made him so kind and generous even in the situation he was in.

@jenwriter17 I’m so sorry I just saw this but I’ll totally be praying!!
@libby @gabriellepollack I wanted to let you all know that Holly’s home and happy as ever! I made some great friends at her new vet because I went to visit her so often and the end of her tail’s all healed up. Thank you for your continued prayers—God is good! 💖

I just got back to school, so I think my goals are to stay on top of assignments and make time at least once a week to write. Homework doesn’t do itself, after all. 😉

@libby @jenwriter17 @gabriellepollack
Thank you all once again for praying. Let me know if there’s anything I can pray for and I’ll let you know as soon as Holly’s home from the vet! Have a wonderful day y’all! 💕
