@taylorclogston,

Hi there. Thank you. I appreciate your concern. But I don’t believe I have full-blown ADHD. About three years ago, I had to talk to this person (I think she was a psychologist or counselor; my memory is a little blurry) before I could work at this job, just for a checkup. According to her written document, I had…[Read more]

@taylorclogston This is a very decent point that comes to the core of the answer, at least from where I sit. Sci-fi is a place to ask questions that we have to use imagination to find answers for. What will a space WWII look like? Star Wars 4-6. What would it mean if we aren’t alone in the universe? History Channel @ 11:30pm.

@taylorclogston *blinks* People believe the tower of Babble was a space ship?

@taylorclogston Rescued. Sorry about that!

@Taylorclogston

I spelled your name wrong so it didn’t tag you above XD

@noah-cochran

This, along with the craziness after it, got my attention.

If you build a good outline, I say go for it, but lay the mystery and ominous feeling on thick.

Hey great! I’m glad blood gets your attention, that’s a good thing for an axe murderer

I am planning on this being a veryyyy mysterious and suspenseful book to keep the readers…[Read more]

All I can say is wow! I never saw or expected it to be interpreted like this. I apologize for the possible confusion as I clearly did not explain some vital points further as I was hoping to make a shorter summary of this. Plus, I was kind of a hurry when I wrote it. Hopefully I can clarify…[Read more]

I have never read this Stormlight series!

I like this idea but if you introduce captured spirits I’m gonna wanna know more about the individuals who are captured and how and the state of their immortal souls if they have immortal souls? That’s an idea that’s used in a lot of different ways, in Dracula vampires are primarily captive souls of me…[Read more]

@obrian-of-the-surface-world I’ll be praying for you! I think as writers, we have a unique call and ability to walk in the pain of a thousand people. Meaning, when we immerse ourselves in our characters’ pain to create believability, we are immersing ourselves in the pain of all the readers who will deeply relate to that characters pain. It’s a…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien Those are some great thoughts! We have a great guide indeed. ^_^ I was travelling up to Harrisburg over the weekend of the 6th.

@obrian-of-the-surface-world Those do sound like some hard experiences to go through as you work on writing your story. I will certainly pray for you when I go out and pray later…[Read more]

It’s fantastic that you’re almost finished!

I’m floundering into the final battle. I genuinely detest writing battles in general and final battles in particular. I vastly prefer the midpoint and third plot point.

My word count for today is just 1360.

Hey friends!

Just thought I’d touch base with you all a week later and see how this was going for you all. 🙂 I’m a couple days behind due to some travelling I did over the weekend, but have been appreciating going through this habit over this past week. Thinking through the Day Three prayer prompt in particular helped me to realize just how…[Read more]

@taylorclogston I’m sorry! Normally I’m able to find these for you, but this doesn’t appear to have shown up on our servers or in our spam filter. :/ I don’t know if there may have been an internet connectivity issue present here? But I unfortunately can’t find it. Sorry about that!

@taylorclogston

A really interesting article! To be honest, I have no idea what to think/feel about Disney and their current “Live-action” spree. Disney has never been part of my life and I just don’t really care about them, so neither the nostalgia works on me, and I’m not outraged that they’ve ruined my childhood movies. But I do find the wider…[Read more]

I’m up to 7681 words, which is really not great considering that puts me at about 12 WPM.

That’s awesome! Rewriting can be quite a chore, there’s so much more research to put into it, but that’s still a great word count!

Today I wrote a conversation translated bilaterally in real time by a translator which has to provide multiple p…

Happy NaNo, y’all!

Word count for the day was 2714 words in 1 hour 40 mins! Considering the amount of time I had, I’m pretty happy for a first day!

(This is way over my usual word count, but I’m in the middle of a Dramatic Moment ™ so the words are coming faster than usual 🙂 )

@taylorclogston

Great job! That’s an awesome word count!…[Read more]
