Anyone Else? discussion

This is where we can talk about writing. So go on.

ME!

Obviously, I started this topic.

I can see the pun.

I love to write.

Thank you!

I am currently writing three books. Only one is really getting somewhere, though. The others are mainly ideas that I have written like the first ten pages of.

It reminds me of the Harper Quadruplets.

The Harper Quadruplets? What is that?

If you know Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn you would know.

Oh. Yeah, I never watch that. But I know what you're talking about.

who here is actually a writer?

Not me. Well not professional one.

i'm not a professional writer, but I am working on a novel.

If you mean professional writer, than no, I am not an actual writer. But If I am not reading in my free time, than I am writing.

yep, same here. i

I have 108 pages in my book so far. I think I am about a third way there. This is my first book, so I am not a professional.

oh, wow. i only have about 56!! then again, you are probably older than me.

i just checked your Profile, and you are a year older than me. shoot.

I like the name Kadijah.

oof i have so many things like this. i feel your pain

Katejl wrote: "i just checked your Profile, and you are a year older than me. shoot."

Yeah. You'll probably catch up with me soon enough. I am pretty slow. And my book is at a slower part, because they are basically getting information right now. So I have to admit, it gets a little boring, because I already know this information.

i don't always have access to a computer, and that is when i get most of my work done.

Same.

are you working on a book, Rumell?

Katejl wrote: "i don't always have access to a computer, and that is when i get most of my work done."

I started writing on my Kindle. Like I got on a book, clicked a word, and made a very long note. Close to 108 pages long. But I just got a laptop for Christmas (Which I am on right now). I asked for one so that I could write my book with it. I was so excited!

cool!

Katejl wrote: "are you working on a book, Rumell?"

Yes. I am.

What is the title?

I like writing but can't ever get past the first chapter and I hardly ever have time.

So guys, I have just reached 10,000 words in my book, and I'm like, "Oh, that wasn't too bad." I mean this whole time, I'm thinking that I don't think I am going to reach my 10,000 word goal, and now I'm like,
*pumps fist, skips in a circle* I know it's not a lot, cause I'm on like chapter six, but, I mean...

Thanks. I didn't realize it at first, but then I looked down the screen and saw it, and my eyes got wider. Lol

I use Word. So it keeps track for me. It's so helpful.

Yeah.

Okay, surprisingly enough (sarcasm), I do NOT. Characters are one of the most important thing to me!! I have to force myself to slowly pluck them off, one by one. I don't like it at all.

YESSSS!!!!

Please don't. I much prefer Golden Harp. Lol

Lol

What do you want help with?

Well, do story ideas pop into your head?

Okay, think through them in your head for a long time, and get a really good idea of the book in your head before you start writing. It helps.

About six months. I've been writing it down on paper since December.

I only have, like, seven chapters.

Yeah, the other one is longer, but I am taking a break from that because it needs a lot of work and time, and I don't have the patients for that right now.

Fantastic! I'm happily surprised at how well everything is flowing. I'm so excited! Who all is doing Camp NaNo?

*Does a little dance around Emily* I am so excited!

*pops up*

SHIMMER AND SHINE FOLKS, SHIMMER HAS LOST SHINE AND NEEDS HER.

I wrote 2,000 words last night, and I think I'll write 2,000 more today. I'm so excited!!!

Thanks! I will!
