Rain On My Parade! Lets Add Some More, For The Fun Of It!

Rain on my parade! Let’s add some more, for the fun of it!

Editing Tip: after reading through your fic/chapter for spelling & grammar mistakes, LISTEN to your story through a screen reader before posting to pick up on additional errors. Sometimes it's easier to HEAR a mistake than to READ one. If you don't have a screen reader, use Google Translate. Copy a little bit at a time (max 5k words) into the translate box then press the speaker button, sit back, and listen.

Bonus learning opportunity: you also get to hear what your fic sounds like to people who listen to fic instead of reading it, so you can edit out any weirdness before posting, thus increasing your fic’s accessibility :)

“For this Saturday, when you want to write a ton – I would definitely set yourself up with a series of rewards and know what your milestones are. Either reward yourself after a certain number of words, or just butt-in-chair time, or whatever.”

And, also make a list of the things you can think of that might distract you: phone calls, requests for help, boredom, whatever and make little mini plans for how you’re going to ignore or defeat them! [Multiple WIP?] Unless you have a publisher waiting for an older book, I think you’re wise to work on the current one. You have 100% permission to be selfish and just write all day!! Tell yourself that you can’t help anyone else until you’re in the best place – and writing will put you in your best place!

I’m gearing up for the 24-hour write-a-thon on Saturday, July 20, 2019, hosted by @queenangst

Goal: Write at least one complete scene for chapter 19 of Soldier’s Heart (James Vega x Jane Shepard), so maybe I’ll manage another chapter by August 11, the last day of #theWIPproject2019 ( @the-wip-project ) hosted by @barbex

My dream was to finish three stories, but I selected a more doable goal of finishing a chapter, which I did and published on Monday.

I’ll be doing the @weekendwritingmarathon this weekend, as always, and might jump in on their Discord server at some official writing sprint times throughout the week. Everyone is welcome!

Wow, that was the most convincing and complete perspective on BTS’s reasons for success I have seen in a while. Very interesting!

To be reblogged.

This was surprisingly well done. I didn’t expect them to go back and talk about 2015.

All his life, Jimin has kept to the depths of the ocean, away from the monsters that roam the surface. But after years of wandering a lonely ocean, he decides to face his longstanding fears and discover just what lies beyond the world he knows.

He doesn’t know what to expect, but it certainly isn’t Jungkook.

do you ever feel victimized by fanfic authors when you make them fanart and then they give YOU compliments and you try to give THEM compliments and its a vicious cycle??? ♥♥ ft. @nicolareed
