Olivia (@olivia) I am so very glad to hear this!

It is not only novel writers that need input, but we need the voice of readers here too.  You are a gifted creative.  Do not think just because your preferences are not in story writing, that they are in any way less than.  Poetry and music are essential art forms that are powerful ways to ex…[Read more]

Hey Olivia!! I’m with Mr Stansell, I wish you wouldn’t go 🙁

If you do, I understand and I wish you the best in your writing life and life life.

We’ll miss you! God bless

Dear Olivia ( @olivia),

I wish you would stay.  I understand life gets busy.  I understand that there may be other sites you wish to explore.
But I want you to know that there are writers, young and older, from many different places and backgrounds who may need to hear what you alone can share or say.  Each of us needs encouragement.  God has giv…[Read more]

*high-fives fellow Dickens fan back* Yes, audiobooks are amazingly helpful for classic novels… especially when they were paid by the word…

LOL, it really seems like that sometimes XD Dickens knows many words but concise is not one of them. XD

@olivia

Agreed!!! I’ve always loved how unique the book and chapter titles are and have even thought about making my titles similar, since I love them so much. xD I might, but who knows…

I love it too! I’ve thought about adding titles to my chapters, but I’ve never actually tried it. *Lightbulb moment* I could maybe do that with this next pro…[Read more]

@olivia

It does, though if we’re being truly fair, we wouldn’t have stories to write if it wasn’t for life.   But ya, I get what you mean. It’s okay though, because I’m a little worn out right now and need a bit of a break anyway, so needing to pause writing right now is actually good for me.

Taking breaks is essential, and I hope you have a grea…[Read more]

I was planning on joining NaNoWriMo this year, but I changed my mind and I’m not planning on it anymore do to some different life stuff I need to focus on.

That’s alright, I totally understand. Life gets in the way of writing sometimes 🙁

But in answer to your un-asked question,   haha, the next Crazy Writing Week is in the beginning of…

Hi Olivia! Thanks for replying! 🙂

I couldn’t help noticing the title and thinking “sounds like it should be from the Mysterious Benedict Society”, and voila! you mentioned it yourself! xD Those books are so good.

LOL, yes! I love those books and the titling is hilarious!

One of the things I enjoy the most about that POV is how the MC (o…

Glad you enjoyed it!  Oh that’s cool that you condensed your story to six words!  Mine would go something like:

“Gained reward; lost friend; now reconciled.”

Hey, sorry for the long wait for the reply, life has been nuts for me lately.

Yep, it should also be noted (though it rarely is from what I have seen) that he also makes special note of food at times. Both food and song are such a large part of a culture that we are blind to it until we go into another culture see how they are…[Read more]
