Hello!

Hello!!

So, are you currently writing anything very big?

Yes! I am trying to outline a novel.
Here's the synopsis:

Honey's Story - A Novel

This is the story of Honey, a girl of 14, who wins a scholarship at Newbridge Academy, one of the most reputed schools in the nation. Honey leaves home, and stays at a hostel, but that is only until she gets the news that her parents lost their lives in a car accident. Honey is now an orphan, parent-less and homeless, a girl all alone in the big wide world. She is bullied constantly, and so, she decides to run away, only to find herself kidnapped. Later, an old man offers to help her flee from the kidnappers. Honey accepts the offer gratefully, only to find that it is a trap.

This story involves a kingdom hidden from human eyes, a kind queen and loads of magical creatures. Honey’s life turns all topsy-turvy, but she finds out that she quite likes it, and deals with the bitterness that life has to offer her happily, considering it all a great big adventure.

What about you?

I'd love to know more about your story! It sounds interesting!
The one about the two neighboring kingdoms and a royal assassin!!

Ooh that sounds amazing! I'd love to read it. Hm how to describe it.

A girl from the kingdom Talimena has been trained as an assassin for nearly her whole life, and is one of the best there is. When she gets an offer for a job in Luckinahen -a kingdom on the verge of war with Talimena- she takes it without a second thought. The catch is that the job is to kill off the entire royal family.

After successfully killing one member, she finds herself on their suspects list and is forced to live in the palace with the other suspects and the royals. Now she has to figure out how to play her cards correctly, or face certain death. It only takes one wrong move.

So not a very official synopsis but we're working on it

Wow! That sounds really interesting!!

How's your outline looking? Do you think that you'll start drafting any time soon?

Outline.... I really can't figure out how to do it. :(
I've been skimming through Google articles on how to outline. I've never outlined a story before. I usually just write it. So, it's going bad. :(

I think I might be able to start drafting sometime in Mid-March, because I have year end break then.

How about you, how is your story coming along??

Yeah outlining is hard. I usually end up doing it while drafting or not at all which probably isn't good, but here's an article that's helped me quite a bit!

I'm drafting right now and it's coming along super super slowly and I don't write a ton, but I'm really proud of what I've wrote, which is good I guess? Slow and steady wins the race

Thank you so, so, so much for the article link!! It was really helpful!

I am finally able to get started with the outlining

Yay! Yes, I agree. Slow and steady wins the race.

Heyy!! How's your story going??

Hi! Okay. I haven't made much progress on it recently. What about you?

Still trying to outline, though I did do a bit of it the past few days

Nice!
