  2. It's midnight for me. I managed 1674 words over the day. Wrote myself into a crappy scene. Hoping to fix it tomorrow after some sleep.

  3. Hi everyone! With November fast approaching, I wanted to start a discussion on NaNoWriMo and see who in RoH is thinking of participating! I think it would be awesome for us to band together and support and encourage one another to reach our word count goals! Even if you're not going for the big 50k, any writing done still counts toward completing your project! So whether your goal is 10k, 50k, or something else, feel free to make an account on the NaNoWriMo website and add each other as writing buddies! You can share your NaNoWriMo profiles in this thread, as well as any tips you have for NaNoWriMo prep too! You can find my profile HERE to add me as a writing buddy! Happy writing everyone! - Savvy

  4. I didn't see this on the list, so thought I'd throw it out there. Grammarly (has a free version) is quite helpful to me in keeping my spelling and prose in check. Even so, I still use a pro editor before publishing, but Grammarly has been very helpful to me. I use the free version. You can find it here: https://www.grammarly.com/

  5. Hi all. Sorry for being absent a bit, but working on my new book. I've never used NaNoWriMo, but I have particpated (in the past) in writing sessions with other authors, where we compare word counts at the end. I generally try to write a thousand or so words a day, though don't always achieve that. I am more of a panster than a plotter, though I do try and generalize a plot before I start writing the story, but it inevitably changes while I'm writing. lol

  6. This is very much true. I'm not going to lie, I hate most of what I've written so far, but it's more than what i started with. Looking forward to writing the fun stuff now that I've got some of the groundwork.

    I might be able to get the BH there but I have been focusing the story progression on my two main toons which are my Guardian (Pub) and Sorcerer (Imp). Can I bring the Sorcerer for DPS for now. She's 75 and has 268/270 gear.

  8. We all write "sh!tty first drafts" as Anne Lamott hilariously notes in her book Bird by Bird. But that's ok, because now you have a first draft, and yesterday you didn't have one!

  9. Hey everyone starting 9th on wards i'm going to be inactive on swtor for the upcoming jedi fallen order. I'll keep in touch in the forums but im going to be immersed in that during my free time. The only reason im not playing until the 15th is my sub time ends on the 9th.

  10. Right now, I'm working on an original fantasy novel, which I've just passed 80k words on, actually. I also have a collection of Star Wars short stories I add to for fun, and I've got a couple horror stories planned for r/nosleep

  11. I’ve known for some time about Peter’s Evil Overlord List of things one should never do as an Evil Overlord. I think I learned about it from a friend on LucasForums about 10 years back. Now and then I revisit it when I’m having a crappy day and need a good laugh. A couple days ago I also ran across the The Not So Grand List of Overused Fantasy Clichés. I fell over laughing. I figured a lot of us probably write fantasy/sci-Fi since we obviously enjoy playing games in the fantasy genre. The fantasy list was inspired by the Grand List of Over-used Sci Fi Storylines. Click the section links to get to the entries themselves. Don’t drink anything before reading these unless you like spewing on your monitor. Enjoy.

  12. Name generator for just about everything you could want--names (real and fantasy), places, pop culture, magic items, vehicles, diseases, even meteors. https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/ Master list of facial expressions for when you need something besides "S/he looked at...." https://www.bryndonovan.com/2015/04/05/master-list-of-facial-expressions/ I like some of the other master lists (especially colors and physical descriptions), too. Huge color list: https://kathysteinemann.com/Musings/colors/ Power thesaurus is my new go-to thesaurus besides my huge paperback one sitting on my desk. I like it because it can sort by parts of speech and links antonyms, definitions and examples as well. https://www.powerthesaurus.org/ Non-verbal body language http://bodylanguageproject.com/nonverbal-dictionary/ It gives you the body language and then the emotion, so that if your character crosses her legs, for instance, you can take a look at the entry for "leg crossing" and see what kind of leg cross and even the direction of the feet you want your character to take in order to convey the emotion better. It might take a little bit of reading on the Body Language Project site to learn some of the terminology. Some free worksheets and other useful items: https://allfreelancewriting.com/novel-planning-tools-and-worksheets/ Software: Dramatica Pro--I picked this up after Nanowrimo a few years ago. http://www.write-bros.com/dramatica-pro.html It's more of a theorycrafting approach to story telling, and since I discovered it midway through writing my novel, it didn't have as much utility for me as it might have if I'd used it from the beginning. However, the idea spinner has gotten me out of some spots where I was just stuck and didn't know where to go next. There's also a screen-writing version. I use Scrivener for word processing and organizing my novel. There's often a special during and right after Nanowrimo. https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener/overview If you want a free software package and don't mind that the program isn't being updated anymore, the owner is now giving away the license key and maintaining the site. http://www.writewaypro.com/ I used this one in the past and enjoyed it, but Scrivener offers some more options that I wanted. Writeway is easier to learn, but if you can game, you can handle the tech on either program just fine. *Looks in bookmarks, realizes there are a bazillion more interesting sites....* This is a good start.
