@seekjustice *facepalm* I forgot that the email notification would have my new name up there. I should have waited to change it 😛

@karthmin yes, the tag stays the same xD And I’ll send it on over tonight or tomorrow! I’ll also re-add myself to the hangouts groups with my new email address.

@catwing I’m confused 😉

@devastate-lasting sorry for the delay, but I just finished going over your story again. It definitely improved a lot more from the first time — great job! It really helped to have the stakes more clearly established in the beginning, too. Just let me know if you have any questions on my comments in the doc 🙂

I used to write all my stories by hand (I think I did about five or six 50k novels o.o). Then my dad told me I should transcribe the stories onto a computer, and since then, I’ve typed every story, long or short.

It’s interesting, because when I do write snippets of scenes by hand, they either come out short and bland or full of purple prose. The…[Read more]

My goals are:

– figure out what story I want to write next

-write several blog posts

– start working on edits for my short story once it’s back from betas

@devastate-lasting absolutely! I can definitely look over it again if you’d like. And if you have any questions on character arcs, I’d be happy to answer them. They’re one of my favorite parts of storytelling 😀

@devastate-lasting

Alright, I just finished going over your story! It was quite an emotional rollercoaster — in a very good way. Most of my comments are in the document, but my additional thoughts are below:

– Try to emphasize conflict and goals more. The first half of the story, I was confused as to what Steven was trying to do and what was…[Read more]

For once, I actually accomplished a few of mine xD The first two are done, and I’m hoping to make some progress on the last one today!

@the-inkspiller
Thank you! I really appreciate all your honesty and feedback!

On my end, it seems I overcorrected and over-edited quite a bit; in attempting to cut unnecessary “fluff,” I deleted characterization and backstory. Your suggestions made me realize I need to get back to the core of the story, more of who it’s about rather than what it’s…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting awesome! I’ll take a look at it by later today or Saturday latest 😀

My goals kinda flopped last week, but I was moving, so it was a bit crazy 😛

My goals for this week are:

– finish the latest edit for my short story

– get the story to beta readers!

– make a couple changes for my platform

My goals are to:

– finish redoing characterization in my short story

– send a couple emails

– finish off a blog post

This is really interesting! I used to write outside all the time (being outside actually inspired my first novel!). But once I started writing on the computer, I haven’t written outside at all. As Hope was saying, it doesn’t work with the computer screen (though perhaps that means writing in a notebook could be a good idea).

But I think Daeus has…[Read more]

@emgc @Allison-grace @karthmin thank you!!

@the-inkspiller I’ll try to get to your story this coming week 🙂

Hey Ereki!

I have a prayer request. Life for me and my family is a bit of a hurricane right now; my brother and I are filling out college applications and trying to decide where we want to go to school, we’re in the process of moving to a place seven hours away, and I just got a job offer (starting on the 22nd) in said-place that would require me…[Read more]
