Writers checking in

Joe, there are some stories I've tossed out. I don't want to torch most of them. I love the characters too much and I want the satisfaction of finishing their stories.

I see, thank you. I'm going to check it out. Best of luck out there!

I could've sworn that I posted to this earlier. Hey guys! I wish you all the best in your writing endeavors and hope that you can achieve everything you're looking to. As for writing projects, the most recent thing that I have is The Writing Paradox ! It's something I came up with quickly and now I'm working with it slowly.

I have an idea that's been bugging me.
I have a sci-fi trilogy I want to finish writing (Star Trek/Star Wars meeting Yuri on Ice)
Also I want to write more fanfiction
AND start a new series!

But for now I'm working on edits.

You have a long list there, but I'm sure you'll be able to manage it all. I feel as writers we get knee deep in projects, but we can't spread ourselves too thin.

I wish you the best =)

That would be the dream one day, @joe_galindez. I have my goal set on being a published writer, and I'm trying hard.

It's gotten to the point where I'll stay up late, write stories to submit, and then just pass out =(

I hope this writing thing pays off.

Thanks! It's a battle =)

Thanks! I wish you the same =)

Star Terk wars + Yuri on Ice. That sounds interesting. For fanfiction, what fandom do you write?

alexandraperchanidou 2017-10-06 05:29:50 UTC #35

I have written a Disney fanfiction, which can be found on Wattpad and now I'm trying to write a Studio Ghibli fanfiction.

All projects I'm doing is WIP @_@

I currently have a handful of series I'm working on, plus a roleplay. I also have some stories I'm currently brainstorming as well.

It's going to be a long ride

Im doing well(?) I think. Im sort of preparing for NaNoWriMo and its my sixth time participating. Just trying to get my story inline so when I write, I know what I'll write. Unlike some stories cough cough freedom cough cough

I just started posting a story I'm working on! I haven't written this much in ages but the characters won't let me rest, lol. It's about a developing poly relationship between three friends who have a lot of other stuff going on in their lives. Representation across a variety of identities is really important to me, so there's a lot of that in there!

Always nice to see more sci-fi @alexandraperchanidou . I've been struggling with large personal writing projects and using Tapas to get smaller, more manageable stories written. It's the best I can do to stop myself from alienating myself from my own writing from self-imposed pressure.

KateGrove 2017-10-11 19:12:14 UTC #40

OMG my book is trending! Sorry for just barging in, but I'm so excited! I'm so happy! I think this is the first time it's in trending! Woohoo!

@williamjbowles I'm doing NaNo, too! I'll open a NaNo thread on the forum, I wonder how many others from Tapas are participating this year Good luck with your story!
EDIT: Nope, someone else has been faster! There's already a NaNo thread here: https://forums.tapas.io/t/nanowrimo-2017-megathread/20586 (How the heck did I miss that???)

Anyone else say they're doing NaNoWriMo every year and end up failing or is that just me? :'D

Congrats on thrending^^

Welp. I dont think trying is failing my dear. Its tough but I know you can do it!

Heliox14 2017-10-17 11:37:13 UTC #44

Needless to say, I'm kinda disappointed in myself.
Why? Because I haven't been writing that much lately...and I think I'm becoming way too overconfident with myself. I don't know...I have that feeling that everything will collapse on me in one fell swoop.
Anyways...I haven't written anything new JUST yet (I got an idea from 10Cent, and after reading TATWD by John Green, there's more stuff in my head), and the threat of NaNoWriMo is still hovering around my head.
Don't forget the quarterly exams starting next week.
Good luck to all of your endeavors! May they succeed and bring you forward!

Then again you need to be super confident if you want to make it in the entertainment biz. The path is so difficult that you need this kind of mental armor.
