I’m always so impressed when somebody invents a language for their story. I’m too traumatized from Latin to have any sort of desire to that end.

It saved the world from becoming a huge political allegory

LEGIT concern right there. Actually so true.

Hm… Maybe you can create some kind of explanation for the fall…[Read more]

i can be cool too, guysssss

@koshka

I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have reawakened the trauma. *Pats your head apologetically* We’ve all been through it before.

Boundaries will help. Writing is like a relationship. You can’t let it take over your life, Koshka. I believe in you.

🤣😝

@elishavet-pidyon

A perfectly understandable complication. After all, now you have to make every aspect of your world just as complicated as that porridge recipe. It’s only natural.

*Watches you scream* *Joins you by screaming into my stuffed unicorn*

The best decision I ever made for Project Lovedream was to limit the world-building to one city due to an extreme history of isolationism, plus the science fiction boundaries implemented because of it. It makes my job a whole lot easier.

Have you drawn maps for your…[Read more]

That actually reminds me of a conversation I saw on CWW before the community closed. It was about relatability and likability. A lot of people seemed to think relatability makes a character likable. I’m not sure if I agree with everything they said, but it was still interesting to read.

@jonas

Yeah, that makes total sense. He is only relatable for some people. It’s impossible to relate to every character, but you can still like them. And I’m glad Sanderson gave him several things to work through, specifically in WoR. :-]

@koshka

One of the first things I pin down are what I consider the building blocks of a culture; Cold or warm; Individualist or collectivist; Rich or poor; Military or civilian; Old or young. Then I find the cultural ideals for beauty, character, morality, nobility, justice.

This stuff is all so fuuuuuun, and all so eeendleeeeeeesssss. And just…[Read more]

I agree that he is a sorrowful sack of mope, but it does not bother me at all. XD I actually kind of understand Kaladin. It’s a little silly to say, especially because I’m not an ex-general ex-slaved turned-general-again with a pile of trauma and white knight syndrome. But the way he struggles going into RoW is pretty rel…

@stephie

The textbook format has been appreciated by several writers. According to a survey performed by a certain Stepheroni and Cheese, two out of two young writing enthusiasts used this world-building tool regularly.

Mm, I credit you with accurate scientific knowledge. Take my friendship.

@theducktator

My brother says Kaladin is a sorrowful sack of mope. HE IS NOT.😭Please people, back me up on this! I need allies!

@raxforge Whoa…that’s weird.

lol

as long as you pronounce my first name as Kayla (Keilah is the Spanish/Hebrew spelling cause I’m of Puerto Rican descent and my parents pulled it from the Bible) I don’t care how you pronounce the rest of it.

Oof the /aytch/ or /haytch/ debate.

I’ve always said it the first way but I don’t get into fights over it lol

Not sure why I had to say that. But it’s 10 at night and I’m tired and have no idea what I’m doing. So.

@raxforge So your voice is more Scout, less Sniper, got it.

(Scout’s the male new englander character of the squad. Huntress is his twin sister, and also the only character I created rather than pulling from the game series I based the world off of.)

@theducktator

Yeah, I think WoR is definitely the best.

Whenever you read WaT, I’d like to hear what you think. I think I’m the only one on here who’s done. 😞

Have you ever taken the Knights Radiant quiz? What order are you?
