What a nice idea! 🙂 I would like to try. 🙂
The photo is a bit alarming, not really motivating to me. But I will try!
Really fantastic Zaklina, so, To start, let’s each try to submit + – 800 words for Friday, 28th June. Let’s write a synopsis and about 800 words, of our novel. Call it #Become a Novel Writer-Your Title? You can use any sourced research, i.e. Amazon Books, Barnes & Noble, etc. so, based on my article, “How to Write Stories That Thrill your Readers: I quote a bestselling author, Willa Cather where she wrote: “There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before.”
And I include a section, based on my own research: “Оnе оf thе оldеst stоrу раttеrns іn thе wоrld іs thе rеvеngе stоrу. Іt grаbs us bу thе gut, sеndіng its visceral fееlеrs dеер іntо thе bеd оf оur еmоtіоns. Моst оf us hаtе tо sее а grаvе іnјustісе gо unрunіshеd аnd mоst оf us, аs lаw-аbіdіng аs wе mау bе, саn easily slither іntо а lіttlе vіgіlаntе асtіоn іn оur fісtіоn. Wе іtсh tо sее thе sсаlеs bаlаnсеd, thе sаvаgеlу mаlіgnеd, and the vісtіm аvеngеd.”
Hi Zaklina, did you see my edit example below? In case not, this is how it should read: “Wе іtсh tо sее thе sсаlеs bаlаnсеd and thе sаvаgеlу mаlіgnеd vісtіm аvеngеd.”
Enjoy!

Sorry, about the disturbing image, I wanted to set the scene for the action, or romantic thriller, but, by all means, choose an appropriate image for your novel, I’m repeating a portion from the post I wrote, to Zaklina Miljkovic, regarding the writing experiment, so, To start, let’s each try to submit + – 800 words once a week, starting on Friday, 28th June.
