Year-long NaNo discussion

That's so awesome! It sounds really neat, and I'm definitely going to check your stuff out. :D

Awesome! I'll probably read them at some point when I want to procrastinate. ;)

Huh, I don't know. Maybe Lena moved it?

Nice! :)

Oh, you're not. That happens to me allll the time. :D

Also, have you considered adding your books here on Goodreads?

If you're planning on being a professional author, then you'll face negative reviews at some point. Even with amazing books, like Lord of the Rings, have negative reviews. You just have to learn how to handle them (and rely on God's opinion, not your own).

1) I believe you can. I have a book listed here on Goodreads that's not published yet. If you're not planning on publishing them, though, it might not be the best idea, since people will probably ask where they can buy it. :)

2) I think you can. Anyone can add a book, from what I've seen. (and I added one before I turned 18).

3) You can, you'd just have to do it in the description. You can see how I did it with Twinepathy.

Ah, I see. :)

I think people wouldn't mind. ;) That's a good idea! I did do the cover. That's a hobby of mine, and it's a lot of fun. Thanks so much! :D

Just practice! That's the best advice I can give. I've played around in Photoshop a lot, and experience is what helps you get better. That, and seeing what works on other people's book covers and what doesn't.

Aww, that stinks! I got for a class a really long time ago, and I still have it. :)

Your stories look awesome, Mary!! I'll have to check them out sometime!

I definitely will!! Kind of related to what you and C.B. were talking about, have you thought about putting your books on Wattpad.com?

Its kind of like social media specifically designed for writers and readers. Basically, you put your stories up, and people can read and comment on them. It's a great place to meet and connect with other writers, too

Yeah, I'm @Lena_Kk. My stories are private though (seemed like a good idea at the time...), so you have to be following me to see them. They're both on my GR writing, too, though

I've found several really great books on there! :)

If you decide to join, let me know so I can follow you! :D

Yes, let me know, too! I'm afraid Wattpad doesn't usually let me see stories, though, since I don't have an account.

Yeah, I don't think you can, if you don't have an account.... You could make one, though! (And you could put Twinepathy on it!! That would be awesome!! :D)

I could! We'll see. I already have a lot going on, and I'm not sure it would be wise to add that. :P

Awesome!!!!

Awesome job!!!! :D

Yay!!! :D What are you going to do with it? Any publishing ideas?

Sounds cool!

Oh, I started reading The Sound of Freedom! It's really good so far. :D

Good luck! :D

:D

Great job! :D

Hi everyone! I'm new here, but who could pass up the idea of an all year Nano? Not me! Anyways, chat soon!

Hi! (If you want to see the discussion thread, check here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... ;) )

Thanks for the awesome welcome! Everyone on here is soooo nice!

Yep! And yes, yes I am. ;)

YAYAYAYAY!! XD

GOOOOOOO MARY! I'm ridic behind on my word count, but hey, quality over quantity!

I sure will! Never gonna stop!

So what's your novel idea?

Ooooh sounds interesting! I tend to mainly write poetry but am branching out haha.

Yeah, poetry! I mainly started writing poetry... My mum just came home with a notebook one day (it was meant for school #rebel) and I just started writing poetry! Although what I wrote at the time was pretty suckish.
