Random, I don't know if you're active here. Is it a fire rainbow in your profile picture? Nevertheless I hope you're doing okay and stay safe!
@CuriosityAddict Woah, thanks for the clarification. It's looking like Circumhorizontal arcs which are deluded as fire rainbow. That's why my curiosity piqued. Anyways sorry for the bother. Thanks, you have a nice weekend as well! :))
Thank you for saving Siren’s!! I hope you like it!
Oh! I hadn’t heard of that one! I’ve read a couple of fairy tale retellings on Wattpad that I’ve liked a lot though
@JessEubanks No worries, I'm fan of twisted tales. For example, I thought the Tin Man series was a twisted but fun take on the Wizard of Oz.
Eek! Now I’m nervous, lol!! It’s pretty twisted from the real versions. Hopefully, you won’t be disappointed
Hey thank u for following me! Hope u enjoy reading the ‘Roleplay’:D
Tonight, I'll be re-watching the move Passengers with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence again. It's one of my favorite sci-fi romance mashups. It also poses some thought provoking and polarizing questions.
If you were alone on a starship that wouldn't make to its destination during your lifetime, could you live the rest the of your life alone?
If you discovered that you could wake up someone else to keep you company knowing that it would likely be a death sentence for them, would you do it anyway? Imagine if Castway's Tom Hanks never had Wilson?
Would you be able to forgive them if you were the one that had been woken up?
What's your favorite book or movie about forgiveness?
My favorite movie about forgiveness is an older one, “The Straight Story” about a man named Alvin Straight who drove across 2 states on his John Deere lawn mower to visit his dying brother. It’s amazing and very well made. Stars Richard Farnsworth and Sissy Spacek
@Spiceseeker While she did already kind of run the gamut of emotion when she got mad at him, that might have been entertaining as well.
As many of you are already aware, there are Plotters, Pantsers and Tweeners.
Plotters write using a pre-planned and detailed outline.
Pantsers write spontaneously by the seat of their pants.
Tweeners alternate between both of the above methods, not exclusively subscribing to one more than the other.
Even traditionally published commercial fiction authors exhibit all these. There is no one right way, there is only the way that works to enable you to get your story out and in a consumable form to the masses.
Authors: Which do you consider yourself?
Readers: Were you aware of these distinctive terms?
@JELyrica Yeah, I need some structure to begin even if it's as simple as beginning, middle and end. Then it organically grows to be much more. I don't plot the whole time and sometimes I have an inspiration shower which makes me just want to get those unstructured thoughts down! Worthy was definitely worth reading but you don't need to tell you that!
@CuriosityAddict - what I’ve written was completely pantsed. It was a like a huge memory download. However if I want to continue doing this writing thing I want get to a tweener scenario. Proper planning and outline will really help my brain keep things in order. Ive been seeking edits and feedback from other authors and wowzer has it ever been pouring in. I’ll be editing Worthy soon.
@Spiceseeker Your analogy to film made we wonder if you'd ever done film, that's all.
Looking for suggestions of paid authors or novels to support. Let me know your favorites and why they were worth it to you.
@CuriosityAddict Between the Redwoods by @Sydneycl2050 is my favorite book. It’s about an escaped convict who meets a woman whose a recluse. It’s amazing! If you like poetry, @Marnie_Wright he loves me not is my personal favorite. It’s such an emotional roller coaster! And I also write!Lolol Hope I didn’t overwhelm you!☺️☺️
@henry_scott I know, I know already... you so have teenagers don’t you. :-D I need to take notes for my future!
What if you were given the ability visually see proof of love in your dating or marital relationships? What if that meant that you could also know when it had departed or was never there to begin with? Worse yet, what if it was the same for hate?
These are only part of the daily struggles that Dusk must contend with in An Odyssey of Hope.
@CuriosityAddict of course you've got a pretty amazing book there...thanks for putting my book in your reading list and voting on it i hope you enjoy it
@GlennDevlin Well deserved.
An Odyssey Of Hope is now complete. If you were among those waiting for all the chapters to become available before you began reading, consider that wish granted! Once you start though, don't blame me if you can't go to sleep tonight. That's why I did it on a weekend.
If you really like a particular part, don't be shy! Reach out, vote, comment in the work. Your feedback matters. I intend to show my appreciation by taking the time to reply and deliver frequent updates. Since this is a series, your feedback on this first book might even improve the next one too!
I want to know your favorite chapters, characters, what if anything made you laugh, cry or feel anything. When something doesn't make sense to you or ring true in your own experience, let me know. While it is fiction, I did do research while writing it but almost no one gets everything right in their first attempt.
Hi Matthew! I just wanted to pop by and say thank you for following me! I really hope you enjoy my book if you get the chance to read it. It’s a contemporary romance called Just Press Send. If you ever want to chat please message me or comment on my book– I love to talk about reading or writing! Have a great rest of your day!
@NikkiPierceBooks Thanks for dropping by! As my series has fair bit of romance and relationship drama in it too despite it's science fiction based premise, I may do as you suggest. Whether I'm reading or writing, both help me improve my craft. Good luck to you in all your reading or writing endeavors.
