@chamomeriam My beta reader told me things about one of my characters that even I didn’t see in him. It helped me work on his character more in revisions but it was so lovely to have someone thinking that much about someone I created.
@KatieJaneNeale I was probably twelve when I knew I wanted to be an author. But last year is the first time I ever finished something I thought was worth publishing. I’m about to turn 23 :)
For writers: what do you do when you hit a wall in a chapter? I’m trying so hard to get from point A to point C and point B is just not showing it’s face 😩
@katieemorann For me, characters. Because everyone is going to react to a situation differently. A level-headed leader will handle a crisis plot line differently than someone who needs a hand to hold. And my characters become my friends so quickly lol
@Lanaea_Sch I put out a call on TikTok with a few details about my book and a bunch of people said they’d read. Only about four have, but I found the feedback helpful.
@JMoffattWrites Depends on the day. Back in December I had time to treat writing like a full time job and I was hitting 2.5-4k a day. Now it’s more like 1000 give or take
Getting form rejections over and over and none of the lit agents telling you what you did wrong is like being given a quiz and getting four questions wrong but you don’t know which ones when you retake the quiz. Did I fix the right thing? Or did I just get something else wrong?
@Nickyshearsby22 Editing while I write and rereading lol. My book would get written so much faster if I didn’t reread everything I’ve written dozens of times
