TO THE RESCUE!!!

[I’m so sorry I’m behind on this! 🙁  Trying to catch up once a week right now… *master juggler – not* Forgive me, Darth Pen!]

First, I wish to express that I feel exactly and everything you’ve delineated! I work full time and after work have chores to do and etc. and I haven’t been able to really write any…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose @taylorclogston @evelyn @steward-of-the-pen Actually, I was wondering if you guys could help out with my antagonist’s motive.

The idea I had was that Zalal, back when he was a good guy and an apprentice paladin, wanted “To be appreciated/respected for my talent”. However, because he didn’t learn that “Respect worth having is based…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Here’s a tip from my own experience:

If the WIP you currently have isn’t fun or inspiring or something that makes you happy but you want to finish it… put it aside for now. I do this quite a bit, actually. If I get tired of a project, I switch to a different one that DOES make me happy and excited. Just keep switching back…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Firstly, I admire your courage in being able to ask for help about this! I have trouble with that because I usually tell myself I can do it all on my own and don’t need any help even though that’s really not the case.

Now, about recharging that creative power… I agree totally with @evelyn and @cassie-hartfinh. Pray, don’t…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Congrats on the progress of your new WIP! I know the feeling of just not feeling up to a dream project. I’ve set a story I started in high school aside, and like six years later I still don’t feel it’s something I can do. Make sure to post lots of stuff about this new project :-}

@steward-of-the-pen Thanks for updating me! I appreciate it :-}

@steward-of-the-pen That seriously sucks 😢 I’m sorry that you’re going through this.

I actually write down random story ideas I have, so while I love all of them, I’m sure I could share some with you. 😃 Maybe you could try writing them, or they could spark some inspiration? (They’re all good, since I only write down my good ones 😛 )

@steward-of-the-pen

*rushes in after a long absence* I hear a fellow author releasing a desperate cry for help!!

I got your back, fellow author.

As someone who has written over four novels and published two, I am very familiar with your predicament. First of all, take @evelyn ‘s advice, because that sounds like the best thing for you at the…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen First of all, know that we’re here to support you, and know that I’ll be praying for you! <3

Second of all, I’ve been going through something similar. Ever since NaNo I’ve been stuck. I just couldn’t seem to find something to write and I just felt so drained. So I took a short break and stepped back, and for a month, didn’t…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Haha, thanks. Maybe I’ll rant about it sometime. 😉

And yay! I love that series. Or what I’ve read of it. 😀

@taylorclogston

Wow. That’s a lot of books to be reading/finishing in a week! 🙂 And thanks for the advice about character outlining, as well as the tip about the course you took. I have @josiah Theme Mastery course on my list to take once I have some more time/money ( @steward-of-the-pen recommended it, and, well, Josiah being our Editor in…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Thanks! Yes, it’s from my WIP Fifty One. And Zeb is probably my favorite main character I’ve ever written. 🙂

And I loved yours! Is that from your saga about the wolves? I loved the idea behind it and this makes me even more excited. 😀 😀 😀
