<p>Thank you so much! This has helped me more then I can say.</p>
<p>I keep forgetting that it doesn’t have to be perfect on the first try. And the thought of anyone actually reading my work gives me anxiety, haha.</p>
<p>Any other tips -big or small- would be much appreciated &#x263a;&#xfe0f; Thanks again.</p>

<p>What is one writing goal you want to achieve in the new year? I’d like to get my WIP into some kind of order and maybe get a few beta-readers to look it over.</p>

<p>I just took the test for my two protagonists, and it was surprisingly difficult and accurate. I’d never tried to get inside the mind of my characters that deeply before and it was eye opening, to say the least. I still need to do it twice more, which should be interesting.

<p>Hi! It’s great to hear from you again. *grins*</p>
<p>Yes <em>The</em> <em>Homelanders </em>is an epic five book (or is it four book?) series. It’s one where I would totally “<em>use the forget-me-stick</em> (that is a quote from the movie <em>Megamind. </em>Me and my family do that a lot, lol. I guess we’re “<em>all mad here.”) </em>on myself just so I could read it all over again&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-65927"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/65927/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I feel that journals like this need to be filled with adventure. Filled with exciting tales of love, sorrow, joy, pain and hope. Will this be one of those books? That’s not for me to decide. Do I want adventure? Of course I do! But adventure itself can come in many forms. Which form will this adventure take? I guess we’ll both just have to find out.</p>
