Awww those moodboards are sooo cute!!! ❤️❤️
That sounds like a super cool story!! Reminds me a bit of Renegades, Steelheart, and this book called the Cloak Society (has anyone read those?)
planned to co-author it buuuuttt…. Not sure when that will happen 😂
🤣🤣 Ikr!!!
Oh -where do you guys all find your photos and stuff for moodboards?? Yours are all amazing 😅 and I have trouble finding lots of pictures that fit my writing . . . especially trying to be safe on the internet, bc there’s a lot of weird stuff out there 🤔

Tysm!!! 😊
So, I just Google the photos, or quotes that have to do with a certain theme. (And for faceclaims, I just look up, for example, “male faceclaim brown hair” or “girl with red hair”, stuff like that.) I know that some other people on here use Pinterest as their pic source, so you could do that as well if you wanted.
Does that answer your question? 🙂

I don’t, but I don’t know about the other moodboard/aesthetic makers on here.

-ThorneSo I might start working on my WIP from a month or so ago again, and . . . I was wondering if anyone would have feedback or want to brainstorm with me?
Just wanted to mention after all your responses on my help forum earlier and reading a character arcs book this morning, I’m feeling inspired xD so please excuse my rambling 🤣🤣
Here’s the summary, it’s kind of a sci-fi/dystopian so far 😅
Katrin, the protagonist, is a street thief struggling to provide for Arren, her brother. When she is caught stealing by enforcers, she expects to be deported through the administrators. Instead, she is thrown into the middle of a heist to assassinate the governor– by rebels who need a scapegoat. To protect her brother, she must convince the administrators she is the assassin– and take the fall.
There were definitely a few things I wanted to change but I kind of still like the idea . . . at least the beginning. I’m not really sure where I was going to go for the ending and that’s part of the reason I stopped 🤔
Also I feel like maybe I have . . . too much inspiration for this? If that’s a thing xD –because I can’t decide which would be the best way to go for plot.
So would anyone have any ideas on . . . where to take this? I’m still not certain about the whole scapegoat thing, mostly because I can’t think of an ending . . . I might change it to like some sort of other heist that they need her for?
Anyway, thanks!!! 😁

Absolutely! XD You know I can’t get enough of brainstorming.
So, I might need a few more details, but I can try to help. How old is Katrin? If she’s not an adult, she could be smaller and maybe quicker, and that could be a good reason to use her for a specific kind of heist. Or if it is to assassinate the governor, the could send her in with poison or something… Or maybe she could be sent in as a kind of distraction. You know, to steal something important, and that would provide a distraction for the others to go after the governor.
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
Haha, thanks!!! it is fun 😅😅
*annnndd realizing I barely gave any information* Oops! Trying not to completely brain dump on you guys, but . . . yeah I could see how that would help 😂
And now I’m randomly smiling to myself again 🤣🤣
I was aiming for 16 or so, but I could always adjust it depending on the heist –also she kind of does act that in my first chapters so probably not too much 😅
And another thing I wasn’t sure about — her motivation for helping with the “heist” . . . ok I’m just calling it that now . . . Like I said I have wayyy too many ideas for it right now so it’s hard to figure out the best one . . .
I can post the chapters I have so far, if that would help? And yeah, a distraction would work too . . . my main train of thought already was that the rebels can do the crime themselves. . . they just don’t want to be caught, because they would most likely be killed/exiled for that . . . so if the administrators think they’ve found the assassins, they’ll stop searching. A couple things that majorly need work are why she even gets involved (which I made it so she was just some random girl they picked up, lol) anddd like I said her motivation, and just the plot in general 😂
So yeah! I appreciate it if you can help 😉 And I would love to know if it sounds interesting, what you think needs work, and Ig what you would expect from this kind of beginning? Cause like I said, no idea where the ending is right now 😅
A few more tags!

XDXD
This sounds really cool! I would love to see the chapters if you’re up for posting them. 😉
I mean, one obvious motivation for doing it would be them threatening her… Or maybe her brother, if they found him. I’m assuming he’s younger?? So maybe that could work.
I’d say it would probably be good to at least figure out a vague ending… You don’t exactly have to think up everything in between yet. (Lol I should really follow my own advice, you know? XD)
From this kind of beginning… I guess I’d expect some kind of conflict with something happening to her brother, but it doesn’t really matter what. A few things you could do is either have Katrin stop the assassination, or help catch the group that did it after the governor is killed… I guess only that second one would fit with the administrators thinking it was her. Unless in the first one the group blamed it on her and said they were trying to stop it…
Anyway, yeah, I’d love to see what you have so far!
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
Yeah I could definitely!! Quick question –do you have a google or Microsoft account? Just because I would prefer to share it personally if that’s possible . . . if not its ok 😉
Yeah, that works!
(Lol I should really follow my own advice, you know? XD)
XD
Ok, so sorry I have to go . . . I’ll be back soon 🙂 And thanks so much for all the feedback!! Ttyl

I have a gmail account, if that works! And yeah I have to go eat, so I’ll talk to you soon. 🙂
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
hmm….
1. you said she’s a common thief well what if she’s more than that. Like all her stealing had given her the skill to steal anything
2. What if her brother was kidnapped and the only way to get him back is to do what they say
3. or her brother has an illness that needs medical attention so her whole life she grew up doing what ever the people told her to so her brother will survive
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
-ThorneAwesome!! I can share it with you if you give me the username 🙂
