This conversation makes me laugh. 😀

As an ISFJ, I’m definitely a feeler, but also fairly logical/rational. Selah, I love that you’re an ESFJ! One of my very dearest friends is an ESFJ, and we’re very much alike except he is very outgoing and has many friends, while I’m quiet and have fewer friends. I like de…[Read more]

Hi friends!

SE is such a great community. I’m so happy to be a part of Meraki!!

@jane-maree

I would like to officially request to become an historical fiction agent, if I may.  🙂  That is definitely my forte.

Hi, Everyone!

I’m jumping in here late since I just joined in April, but would like to share my goals. I’ve already read some great ones on here!

So, several of my goals are rolling over from 2018, for I didn’t quite meet them… Hoping to this year.

In no particular order:

* Walk more miles (500 for the year)

* Improve my speed/jogging…[Read more]

@theinconceivable1

That sounds pretty cool! I’d like to check that out sometime…

@mairin-atha

Lovely to meet you!! (May I say that you have beautiful hair?) 😀

@nicoleg is a wonderful person and has been a dear friend through this writing journey. 🙂

Sorry I’ve been MIA, guys. Been working a lot. 🙁

@theinconceivable1

I don’t know much about the other personality types, but I certainly match ISFJ pretty well. 🙂

@selah-chelyah

I am intending to set up an account for google docs soon, and probably a gmail account for writing projects. Do you like using gmail?

I really needed this article. I’ve been looking at my finished first draft of my first novel (which needs quite a bit of editing and some re-writing) for nearly four years. I’ve done some brainstorming, and some outlining, but still haven’t found the motivation to actually write out anything. I’m really wanting to complete this project so I can…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah

I’m about half way through my outline with new plot points and I’ve been brainstorming on some of the questions my original plot didn’t satisfy. When I’m done with that I’ll start cutting and rewriting the sections needing attention.

You might say I’ve done this WIP backwards…I’m just about starting at square one with outlining…[Read more]

@theinconceivable1

Hey, no problem, I’ll take a high five! 😂

ISFJ here. 🙂

I have really struggled with this issue for the past year or so. When I wrote my one and only novel’s first draft, I had a significantly shorter work week, only 3 days a week (about 30 hours). I finished writing my draft in a year, and set about editing/rewriting, but at the first of last year, my work schedule changed to 40-45 hours a week, plus…[Read more]

*returns high-five* Hi! Great to meet you, too! I’m very happy to be a part of Meraki… and I love hugs. 😊

@nicoleg

This is just the BEST. I love it here and I’m so excited to see the Meraki symbol by my name!😊

Yes, we have come a long way…It’s awesome how we connected on wattpad and the journey has brought us here. God is just great like that!😊

@selah-chelyah

Thank you for that! Very sweet. I’ve enjoyed getting to know you on the forums!😊

My WIP:

I have one “completed” work in the form of a first draft. It’s a romantic historical fiction novel set in 1870’s Richmond, VA, and is about a former plantation owner’s daughter who has given up hope of finding love. She’s devoted to her…[Read more]

Hi Meraki friends!! I’m SO excited to be here! 😀

Thank you for the warm welcome. My sweet friend @nicoleg introduced me to Story Embers, and this place is the BEST. This is gonna be fun. 😊

I love PIZZA…lots of cheese and pepperoni…and………veggie pizza. *gasp* 😂

@eden-anderson

I’m so glad! 🙂

This is pretty random and a little embarrassing, but…can you (or anyone) tell me how to make all those emoji’s show on here? I only know 🙂 😀 and 😉

*sheepish smile*

@selah-chelyah

Hello, Selah! *waves*

I like what you said about portraying the typical beliefs of people from the given era correctly. I think it’s important to try to step into our characters’ shoes.

@valtmy

Your last paragraph…YES. Characters are the key.
