[Rinovo]

Hi! I'm a new member here at Inklings and I just wanted to say hello.
I enjoy writing fantasy and sometimes science fiction. What do ya'll enjoy writing the most?

aNGST and slowburn.

I'm also a huge sucker for main character deaths.

[TheSongOfTheStars]

Hey, you can still do lighter moments XD

What are those?
No, those are fun too.
But main character deaths are both agony and the best.

[Ranger of the North]

Agreed XD

I hope NaNo is going well for all you folks participating!!

I've been having trouble finding time for writing recently, but just yesterday I plotted out a few scenes and plot points for this fic idea I've had sitting around for about two years. There have been a few false starts, but I'm looking forward to writing this fic for real this time. :) If only I can find the time to do so, lol.

Out of curiosity, do any of you have daily (or at least regular) writing goals that you set for yourself? If you do, do you feel that your writing productivity has increased because of it, and are you able to consistently maintain this goal? I remember reading about some published author that has a daily writing goal of 1000 words set for themselves, and I know the students in the Writer's Craft course at my school write at least 400 words daily. I've considered trying to set a daily goal for myself but can never get around to doing it.

What’s a “writing goal”?
Jk. But seriously, that sounds like a good idea. I’ve considered that for a while. It’s just hard to when you’ve got college and junk XD

Oh, nice - what's it about? c:

I do, actually! I aim to write one sentence a day XD It's ridiculously small, but it works for me; if I get into the zone I get wayy ahead of my goal and feel nicely accomplished, and if everything's hard all I have to do is one sentence, and then I can pause and push a little further the next day XD

That's actually a really good idea. I don't have a particular goal every day (I'm not entering NaNo this year, but good luck to everyone who's nearly finished it!) but I just write whenever I have time/am in the mood. I do have deadlines for when I want chapters/stories written, because if I don't set those it'll take forever for me to get it done xD And that works for me at the moment^^

hey guys! so i have a blog where i write for all animals - domestic animals, farm animals, wildlife, and marine animals. it's called a voice for the voiceless and my goal is to educate the public and raise more awareness about the abuse and cruelty these animals are forced to endure behind the scenes in the entertainment, food, and clothing industry.

i was wondering if you guys could have a read on some of the articles and leave me some feedback? be it grammar or content. also if you guys have any ideas for content you would like me to write about, do send me a pm!

thank you!

Oh, thanks, haha! :p Lucky you, I would never be able to keep to larger-portioned goals; I take everything too easy XD


I'll check it out soon, @middle earth!

Anybody have any advice for writers block?

I'll write on fire for a day, and thennn I'll get writers block
for months usually
