Desert Desserts - Group Editing

Oh man, thank you for the reminder. Unfortuantly because I’ve been so nauseous for the last few days from being so low on Iron I haven’t been able to eat and now I’m at the point where if I don’t eat it’s critical. Really wish doctors were more helpful. I don’t think I have the mental energy to call them and my husband is on the night shift this week so no way he will be up in time before their billing closes. Freaking ridiculous. They denied service so I think I should deny payment.

I’m so sorry for any typos that are in there. I tried to catch them all. But really not good here…

assignment post is post-poned until next Monday this week. Sorry guys, my health is just still so horrible and I feel like I’m drowning since I’ve been doing everything I can to fix it and nothing seems to work.

UPDATE ON THE MOON KINGDOM

So I have posted in an Inkitt group on Facebook about THE MOON KINGDOM. I talked about this friend telling me that my “subspecies” was too complicated and that I should take some notes from Brandon Sanderson because his fantasy books are amazing.
I tried to explain the whole subspecies to this friend but he more or less told me, instead of suggesting, to cut them out altogether. Which, just drove me to bench the story until I just said: “fuck it”. I created the cover for it and I just went with it. Now I just need to name the characters in a more realistic way so it all fits together. But, I haven’t found the right names yet.

So, I posted in the group and this is what people advised me to do:

person #01:
“do it! best thing of inkitt is the feedback from readers, if someting isnt adding up, you can change it easily. that was the idea of the founder, sharing stories and giving feedback. do with the feedback what you want”

person #02:
“The obvious: stop planning and just write. Make things up along the way.”

person #03:
" Just write it. There is a reason why there are such things as drafts. The first draft is never perfect, it is to pen the idea down. Then comes the drafts after. Editing, fixing loops holes and so forth. If you believe in your story, then your audience will be there! The important thing I believe (my opinion) is to write the story for yourself."

person #04:
“We kinda same . I have lots of story that I plan the whole plot and ending. But what I did is just whenever I am in mood I just keep on writing it. Also before I publish it, I read it again and again, add some scene then publish it…
And I advice you to ignore the one who says that to your story… just keep on writing even though your genre is different… because not all people have the same taste…
I also advice you to maybe watch or read the same genre you are writing so you can get inspirations to write like me…Fighting sis”

person #05:
“I’m a planner also. I always have a start and a finish and then figure out the middle as I go. I write and rewrite over and over until it flows and makes sense. Do you have someone you can bounce ideas off of?
I know it’s easier said than done but try not to let people discourage you. It’s your story and you have full creative control. You got this! Don’t let that person rob you of your creativity, vision and joy.”

So, I guess I should take this advice and just write it huh? I just might!
I just need to find good names and make them all fit in together.

Hey @Vintaginity Hope you feel fully better soon :smile:

Hey Group, I am adding the first chapter of my book (I have named it Please tell us who did it) on the link. As I said before, the chapters would be pretty short, please let me know if you think the first chapter is fine or I should edit and make it more enjoyable.

Back from vacation in Maine and I am missing coastal New England already. Then went to a Yankees game. I am sunburnt and need a vacation from my vacation but it’s back to work tomorrow. And hopefully back to writing and editing.

Weekly post delayed again. If I ever judged someone for chronic pain in my entire life, I’m getting payback for it now. Wow. I’m not sure how many more weeks of pain I can take

Happy Monday! I did it. I updated the thread. I’m so sorry guys that my health has been such a mess. I know y’all are understanding and supportive, it’s just wild to me how someone can be so healthy and then all of a sudden not. Wow then adding in the second baby to the mix. Whew. Life is wild like that. But… Hallie is a sweet 6 months old. How insane is that?

There’s nothing to apologize for. I hope you’re healing and taking care of you.

I appreciate that! I got my first Iron infusion today so hopefully that will help some. Also got a lead on a new GI that will hopefully listen better.

How are you feeling? I know 2 ppl that have to get iron infusions every so often and I’ve heard it’s painful :frowning_face:. I’m glad you’re advocating for yourself. It’s so important to connect with your doctor. Nothing is more frustrating than when you feel the doc is dismissive or not taking your health concerns seriously.

Feeling a little better! It wasn’t bad. I’ve donated plasma before and it was very similar to that for me. I have another one Thursday morning. And then hopefully I will be good for a while. Got a new appointment with a different GI October 23rd so hopefully they are much better. :raised_hands:t3:

Happy Monday! Wow! Two weeks in a row…that’s pretty impressive these days. If I had more eloquent words I’d be able to fully explain the hell my life has become in certain aspects and the desperation between all the beautiful good moments battling all the bad both inside my head and just phsyically with my body. Man I wish I had the skill to write it in the book I’d like others to be able to read to maybe understand half of what I’m going through. But that’s the thing with this disease. Every day is a new day and literally every day is a new hell… but anyways. Enough of my Soap Opera drama. I did log on to Cake Toppers to get working on comments. That’s about as far as I got this week. I opened the document up. But that being said… Hopefully I can do a little more this week. Hope everyone else is having a better week!

So!
I have asked a cover design group to create a cover for THE MOON KINGDOM. I’ll be, hopefully, writing chapter 1 today and sharing it with all of you. If I feel like writing more, I’ll put out 2 or 3 chapters for yoir reading pleasure. Depends.

Sorry for the wait everyone!!!

Hi everyone!
I’m so sorry for ghosting. I’m drowning under work, pulling 50h+ a week since this summer. I’m working from home in front of a computer, so when I’m done I don’t feel like sit on my computer again to write and read. I’m so late on everything and I feel bad :weary:
Hopefuly things will slow down with winter around the corner (meaning been stuck inside all cozy yeah!) and I’ll be able to read/write more on my free time.

I still have the idea of the 40 yeards old maid taking care of the princess and I can’t wait to try and write it down see where it will get me :slight_smile:

Happy Monday! Time just goes by so fast! I did the tiniest bit of reading this week, and did a little bit more pondering on the book I mentioned a while ago kind of following the journey i’ve been on with my disease meet Hallmark romance novel.

I think the concept is really good, but I feel weird writing it while In a happy loving marriage, especially while I’m still going through so much. But essentially the main girl falls in love with one of her nurses that’s helping her figure out how to battle this disease naturally instead of having to go through all the harsh drugs the hospital wants to throw at her. Like a heal your gut and your heart type romance lmfao. I don’t know. I feel like it could be a really good story, but not sure too many people really care about it like I do beacuse so much of it would be taken from the medical journey that I’m currently on.

Anything you’re excited to write about tends to be good though. If you can’t get this idea out of your mind, I think it’s worth outlining and exploring a little at least. What could it hurt to try to write the story? If you decide it’s not your thing, no harm done. It’s therapeutic to write about things you’ve gone through. If for no reason other than that, it’s a good idea.
