@myclipboardismyviolin I like it! The first part is a little bit confusing with all the names, but I really like your characterization (it’s like an info dump without being an info dump, which is fabulous!! 🙂 ) Do you want to put it on a Google Doc so we can edit/work on it?

For the next two weeks, we have a writing prompt war! We get to write a story and edit it together. This month’s prompt is to write a story in 2nd person. So let’s start brainstorming!

If you’re pursuing publishing, whether traditional or self published, a professional editor is a must.

Today’s post is about habits and was written by Maddie Morrow. It’s a good one!
Forming Habits to Write Consistently
We’ve all seen the various memes out there laughing over the fact that writers want to be writers, without ever actually having to write.
And while I can appreciate a good meme, that sentiment is all too true. It is so easy as a…[Read more]

@dragongeek, That’s fine. I hope you can get those goals done!
@myclipboardismyviolin, What I do is evaluate my week and try to figure out how much I can get done each day and then add that all together to figure it out for the week. That’s the main tip I would have.
@jenwriter17, Looks good!

KatherineH replied to the topic Weekly Goals – April in the forum Accountability & Achievements 7 years, 4 months ago
@myclipboardismyviolin I like to time myself and see how fast I can write. For example, it takes me about 20 minutes to write 1000 words. (This may vary for you, as it does vary for me depending on the day/where I am in the story/if I actually want to write or am making myself write!) So if I want to write twenty minutes a day, then my goal is…[Read more]

@myclipboardismyviolin, interesting thing is, the thought of killing her off didn’t even appear until right before New York passed the after birth abortion law. just a few days before that I thought that it might add an interesting element to my book, and then that happened. The thing about fictional books is that they almost always reflect what…[Read more]

MyClipboardIsMyViolin replied to the topic Writing Game–Expanding Descriptions in the forum Avensbeck Writing Discussions 7 years, 4 months ago
You just take the simple paragraph, expand on it and make it your own, then leave another paragraph to be expanded upon. The goal is to make simple descriptions better (or maybe get help from your fellow writers with lame descriptions in your writing that need fixed). See the first post of the thread.
For example, for the last paragraph I gave…[Read more]
