Thanks! I like your writing as well. You can see Eddie through the rational and technicality’s he gives to justify his behavior, something we all can related to at times.
I like the writing you gave for Jade as well. You show her character by the attention she immediately gains from a crowd in a train station, something that would be…[Read more]

That’s a really good introduction to how Jade looks!! I’m already interested in who she is and her story! 😀

Your really good at description! I just love – Ami melted under the gaze of Ev’s chocolate brown eyes.” “Ev searched her emerald green eyes, trying to understand what she was thinking. Its super sweet!
Aww! Thanks so much!! That’s super encouraging. 🥰🥰🥰

Cool topic idea!!
I definitely struggle with description. Mostly because I forget to put it there in the first place. 😂
My uncle introduced me to the word “askance” and I’ve been waiting for the just the write time to use it in one of my books. XD
Also does anyone here know anything about describing people? Do they do it all in one…

Also does anyone here know anything about describing people? Do they do it all in one place or do they spread it all throughout the chapter or whole book? I spread it out usually, but then think its better to read it all in one place…
That really depends on many many factors. Including your writing style, how much is relevant to c…[Read more]

Oh, nice topic, thanks! Those are some cool description words you found!
My favorite for description isn’t necessarily words, but I think it still counts?
I like to describe physical things with emotions… it’s pretty hard to find a way to do it, but when in the perfect scene, it’s kinda op imo 🤣
Flopping over onto the covers, she…

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic Magic systems!!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 2 months ago
Thanks! Yeah, it’s been a lot of fun to make! Yeah, both hard and soft magic systems have unique pros and cons. I personally enjoy thinking and writing about hard magic systems, but soft magic systems (if done well) are really fun to read. Harry Potter is a good example of soft magic systems, I’ve never got into it, but I know a little…[Read more]

Light replied to the topic Tips, tricks, descriptions and new words! in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 2 months ago
Wow!! Those are cool! Yeah, I’ve been trying to get better at describing situations in my book as well. I like to look up ‘descriptive words for –‘ whatever I needed, and just reading them helps me to remember them for future reference. Also, if you copy and paste them into a doc, you can review them when you need it. That’s what I…[Read more]

I have read all 8 Anne of Green Gables books, and I think the second one might be my favorite, though that may in part be because in all the movie adaptations I’ve seen they gloss over that part of Anne’s life.
I’ve not read the Little Women books, but I’ve heard a lot about them and they’ve been on my list to read for a while.

Jonathan: “Oh about three thousand years in the future, in a different world, my author told her friends about it, and now I’m famous.”
XDXD
Yes, Jonathan. You are famous now. You’re welcome! 😁
Eddie: Oh! My favorite food is jello berries.
Ellie: Those are more like candy…
Eddie: No, they’re fruit. They count.

I like what Ami’s answer to the question was, that’s a really good way to describe her!
Ikr? She doesn’t like going out of her comfort zone.
Yet I make her do it all the time in my WIP. Poor girl. XD
Nele: Well, so do savors… savories… savori?
Hmm… 🤔
How thought-provoking…
Can “savory” be used as a noun??
And if so…[Read more]

Whats your favorite book series?
I’m currently reading The Ranger’s Apprentice, and it’s great!
Do you like to do any crafting or sports? (Kinda a random question, but I know some people, like me, don’t play any sports. I just like to run):D
I don’t do sports either really, but as far as crafting goes sometimes I’ll get a new thing I w…[Read more]

@euodia-vision Riya the masked archer. I love it!
@loopylin Don’t apologize! I love reading about all your characters! Dennis and Mel seem fun…especially Mel. 😉 Poor Dante. Hopefully he can recognize that just because his family messed up doesn’t mean he has to. Does he?
