I have a character that desperately needs a face.

His name is Alfred. He has neat brown hair that’s a little bit wavy. Other than that, I’m very undecided about what it looks like, exactly. He has a wide-ish face with noticeable (but not bony and ugly) cheekbones. He wears shirts or simple tees, and s…[Read more]

@catwing  Are you still here? I’m writing a bit

@catwing  @perfectfifths Here’s one:

“Stop enjoying this! STOP ENJOYING THIS!”

@His-Instrument Got it.

You know what, maybe you could just put two straight and fairly defined black lines down the sides of the one you fixed, about half an inch from the edge.

@Daeus hm… better-ish? I like the first re-do, but it isn’t perfect. What program are you using to put these together? Because putting in white boxes is like… as basic as the abcs…

@jenwriter17  Others might have better answers than me but here we go…

• Aliens with weird names like Zworg or Qluzzu
• All ugly aliens are bad
• Sci-fi stories that are focused solely on space and/or time, and new frontiers. People have already written stories like that (Star Trek, classic Doctor Who), and by now they are cliche because of…

@daeus I like what you’ve done above, but I personally prefer the first graphic, in the darker shade, but Kate’s right that there needs to be a divider of sorts between graphic and text.

@Daeus whooo, my eyes are crossing. 😛

None of these are particularly amazing in my very humble opinion, though I do think the second has potential. The biggest problem is the composition— there are no lines to define where graphic meets text, or to organize the whole thing for us so our eyes have to do as little bouncing around as…[Read more]

@dekreel I need to read this! I just need to find some time.

@shannon

Definitely, make a customer inquiry 🙂

If you’re very careful you may touch it. Sabres from Babylon are very one of a kind. ☺

@salome01w4g that’s amazing 😀 thank you God!

@dekreel I don’t usually write in first, but I just finished a 100k novel in first, so I learnt a thing or do whilst I did.

-its a lot more limited, but a lot more intimate, so you end up feeling very close to the character.

-as someone already said, make good use of the five senses, especially touch and taste and smell.

-Give us your…[Read more]

@Gabbyj its pretty cool in Australia! Yes, lots of kangaroos. They’re a bit of a pest to be honest.</p>
That’s sounds cool! I am a very diserve writer, but I particularly like writing historical mixed with fantasy. I just finished the draft of a dystopian novel though

Well, I’ll sign off. But I’ll leave the chocolate pretzels for whoever comes in 😉

@audrey-caylin Okay, Merry Christmas! And may you find your sword and cape 😉

Anyone else around? I have chocolate-covered pretzels!

@sam-kowal  @introvert_girl  @catwing  @emily  @shannon @aislinn-mollisong

@audrey-caylin  Yeah, that makes sense! Huh, it’s kinda like a chain reaction: you don’t know about the character, and he won’t talk. XD

I know! Everyone keeps saying they can’t wait! I’m writing it as fast as my brain will let me! But unfortunately it’s turning out long! *sighhhhh*  Hmmm, I should stick this in the KPA somewhere…  Ugh! I ca…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin Good! No pushbacks is most appreciated for a writer. 🙂 What exactly is a pushback from your character like? I don’t think I’ve experienced it…

I don’t know… At least ten. It’s kind of long. I hope I’m not overdoing it. Everything I write ends up long, actually.

@audrey-caylin  Yeah, it’s easy 🙂

I’m working on the KPA again, rewriting part of chapter 3… What are you doing, btw?
