@ariella-newheart Yeah, it’s the same for me. I’d encourage you to try it sometime if you’re stuck on a scene. 😀

Sure! Go ahead!

@ariella-newheart Well, I prefer not to skip around like that, but sometimes it helps. Since it’s the first draft, my main goal is to figure out the plot and character arcs and put down whatever ideas I have. Those parts are probably going to be completely changed, so it doesn’t really matter that much that I skip them. Most of them involve…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart I have 433 words so far. It’s just part of a future scene where my MC is talking to his future love interest for the first time. 😛 I may just keep going from there since I’m having a hard time writing the part I skipped.

How is your editing coming?

@ariella-newheart Oh, okay! I didn’t know you could do that with ink.

Ooh, I love the wolf! And the mountains—those are really cool. Well done!

@evelyn Yay, that’s awesome! You’ve made so much progress. *cheers for you*

Oh yes…my class was gagging the whole time and we had to crack the window open even though it was freezing outside. xD I’m doing chemistry this year. The math is insane, but I LOVE the labs. I mean…setting stuff on fire and making things explode? Yes please. 😛

Yeah,…[Read more]

GO PARIMIS!!

@ariella-newheart Yay, I’m glad you’ve had a bit of time for editing! I know a couple people who are doing Inktober, and it sounds really fun. I’d love to see what you did if you’re up for sharing them!

@anne_the_noob14 I’m pretty sure we all want to put most of our first everythings in the trash at some point. 😉 We’ll see how this goes…I’m…[Read more]

@jane-maree

Oh good! I knew things would be crazy since she’s nearing the end of school, but I didn’t know about the wedding (congratulations to her brother!). I’m so happy she seems to be doing okay. I’ll be praying for the strength to cope with all the stress—and also that the wedding goes smoothly!

Looking forward to seeing her again after…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14

Enjoy your time with your grandparents!

Yeah…I haven’t heard anything in a while either. I miss her! Hopefully everything’s okay.

@evelyn

That’s great! How many words are you up to now?

Things are going pretty well, although the high school monster has been trying to snatch as many hours out of my day as it can. 😛 Full confession: I’ve been neglecting my draft for the past two months. I’m still stuck and trying to brainstorm my way out of it. But I’m making progress! I…[Read more]

@evelyn @ariella-newheart @anne_the_noob14 How’s it going, guys? 😀

@ariella-newheart Oh, that’s too bad. The inspiration for this actually came from a couple ideas that didn’t go anywhere. 😛 And ooh, post-apocalyptic fantasy? That might be cool…

Oh, I’ll definitely be praying for you. <3 I understand what it’s like when all your peers are so different from you, and how it’s hard to make friends. I feel that…[Read more]

Hey, good job, guys! That’s 6,000 words of progress, and that deserves some cookies. 😉

@evelyn

Every time someone mentions dystopian and its tendency to be stereotypical and cliché, I can’t help but think of this…

@ariella-newheart Hey! Good to see you again! How are things going with your new school?

I started up school last week, so writing has been a little slow for me. I’m a bit stuck on my Dahop’s Ember draft, but I’ve been brainstorming a new WIP that’s post-apocalyptic sci-fi. The change in genre has been a fun break, so I’m going to keep at it f…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 Awesome! Good luck!

Huh! I actually never knew that. Mostly because I never use a mouse. 😛

@anne_the_noob14 Yay, good work! 😀

@writercatherine YAY, great job! You too, @evelyn! *throws confetti*

I wrote 1,584. Part of one scene in my draft, one random snippet for brainstorming my other story, and a little poetry. Better than I’d hoped for! 😀

Thanks, @writercatherine!

Oh dear. We finally have a word war, and it happens to be the week I’m brainstorming instead of drafting. xD I’ll see if I can get some snippets in though.

Great work, guys! *cheers*

@jane-maree Congratulations to Meraki! I love the concept you guys came up with.
