Do you have any advice for other writers? Share it with us. And do you have any questions for your book? You can ask anything here!

I found this, which really helped me improve my writing...

One tip is to not stop, keep going, because your more apt to stop writing your book if you don't keep going. Another thing that always helps me is listening to my favorite music it inspires me. :)

And that was really helpfull too:

Okay, I'm just currently writing a book (actually 3 books) and I have no idea what names should I give to the characters.... Any ideas?

My advice for writers is if you're writing a book with any sort of action, listen to trailer soundtracks while writing. It'll get you in the mood for writing and it'll get your imagination going :)

Ohhh, that's really good! Thanks Shawna for the advice!

What I'd recommend for naming characters is to start off with examining the time period of your book and what names would fit best with that. Futuristic books would need unique names, modern books have more common names, and maybe do some research of historical names for books set in the past. I hope this helps a little bit

With naming characters, I'll often search up baby names that mean certain things for example if you have a melancholy feel going on in the book, you might look for names that mean things like sad at heart etc. It's amazing the strange names and meanings that can come up, lots are also perfect for sci-fi or fantasy. Often if you look up character names from different books, their name's meaning matches their personality! Hope that helped! Are you on wattpad or something like that? I'd love to check out your work!

That's a very good advice! Unfortunatly, I don't have a wattpad account and ahven't published anything yet... How about you?

All good! I have a wattpad account but I never really use it and kind of just stick with Google docs when writing! xx

Well, I prefer writing on my old notebook... I really can't get inspired if I write in front of a computer screen :)

Yeah I get that! I think I prefer computer because I love scrolling through really quickly on a doc to see how much I've written (random I know)!! =)
