@Jenwriter17 as Princess said, some of the elements are fairly generic with the dystopian genre. Evil government and Outcasts are common features, BUT that doesn’t mean you can’t use it. I definitely say you can still do this well if you have your own aspect and take on the situation and use your own style to make the story unique and different.

@rochellaine, Yep! XD Sorry about that!

@dekreel… *softly* Wow…. can we get some more of these? Also, great look @daeus. *cackles*

@notawriter  I still got a notification when you tagged me.  It just didn’t go green for some reason.  🙂

@daeus Yeah….. no.

I don’t really know that many authors. Haven’t been to any conferences really–one local teen one–but otherwise… not yet. XD I’ll let you know if I can think of any.

@notawriter *squeals* it looks so good! I like how you did the hair too, it’s flowy and soft looking. I think the expression suits her. It’s not a full out smile, which she doesn’t do often. Thank youuuuu! ❤

ooh, cat! He/she is sooo cute!!!

@dekreel @notawriter Cool! thanks!

@princessfoo Thanks so much for your input! No, Rin doesn’t fall in love with the soldier guy (his name is Jax). I’d rather not include romance in my novels. They become friends though. Just friends 😊

Oooh  I just looked more closely at the second picture.  Kiiiitttttyyyy!  What’s his/her name?

@notawriter  I totally feel you on drawing the mouth ten times…except it’s usually noses with me.  🙂

Awww you’re so sweet!  But you are too modest.  You’re drawing is brilliant!  I love the sprigs of greenery.  🙂 🙂 🙂

oh, here’s a collage too…

@jenwriter17  She was super fun to do!  🙂

Okay, y’all…..

I’ve gotten together a rough blurb of my dystopian novel. very. rough. Lemme know what you think:

@dekreel oh my goodness! 🤣

@notawriter lol, for sure

@ingridrd that’s okay, I would have said yes anyway. 😉

*gasps* so. good. I love the way you did her hair! thanks so much! and I really like how you wrote her name too 😊

Sorry, I didn’t wait for permission to draw Rin, buuuuut…here she is!  I think her hair is a little too dark.  *shrugs*  Hope you like her!

@jenwriter17  Would you mind very much if I attempted Rin also??  She looks super fun to draw…pretty please?  🙂

*stalks this topic*

@epicaddie2 *sheepish grin*

YASSS! Got it.

Um…

I digress.

AAARRRGGGHHHH! What is happening to my spelling ??? It’s my dodgy keyboard, people…truly. So, yeah, sorry, @rochellaine
