I still think about this topic to this day. XD

Now, I wouldn’t make too big of a deal out of this. You know your character’s temperaments, backgrounds, personalities. Those will dictate how they react to situations as much if not far more than whether they are male or female. Let them do what you feel they would as a character. Keep a good balance in mind, but don’t worry so much…

Wheel of Time is on my to read list. My characters are separated into groups/by themselves at the moment, but they are going to meet up at some point in the not so distant future. I think there are two together, and the other four are alone somewhere, but two of them will meet up shortly.
How does character B’s plot impact c…

Oh! I like them. The first is very lonesome/dreamy, and the second does well painting its picture.

Hmmmmm.
Ok. I’m seeing a child soldier type. He’s got a past and he doesn’t care what he does because he doesn’t want to care. Yet he also feels he still has something to accomplish. He could be redeemable, or he could be an incredible thorn in the MC’s side. As for who he is… I don’t know. I think he was once connected to…[Read more]

*Actively avoiding discussion on this matter even though my perspective is very relevant to the topic because my family avoided Christmas for eight years* Who wants a hopscotch recipe??

Thank you. (: It’s based a little on a time when I periodically visited my great-grandfather.

Thank you! It’s for my new WIP. (Which you probably already know. XD)
I like yours. His character is always interesting to see illustrated visually. The contrast of tender love for his children and the dark realities of his past right next to each other is incredible. ❤️ And the quites add hope. ☺️

That’s… Really bittersweet. It feels very much like it’s inside a person’s head. As the child who grew up going to nursing homes, I like it. The end makes it sweet.

I still love role playing games, even though I don’t play them very often anymore.😂 Dollhouse, except it would catch fire, tea party, but the rubber duck’s little brothers would find a way to wreck it, new rubber ducks had to make perilous journeys to reach the other ones, a ridiculous amount of romantic drama…our toys have int…[Read more]

Oh very interesting! I really like it. It feels like the perspective of somebody who is forgetting their life but still loves the people around them through confusion.

I do that to chocolate cream pies, but that goes without saying.
Do you make French silk pies? We do that, and coconut cream pies. There’s also something called hopscotch, which is a mixture of peanut butter, butterscotch, marshmallows, and uncooked chow mein noodles.
That would be… interesting.
It would be. I’d rather not risk it. XD

Yeeeeesss 😭 I’m tasked with making them each year, and I secretly eat the masa and meat raw like cookie dough… 😬

No name.
Ten years I’ve lost my ever-changing mind.
My words have slowed, and must be redefined.
Your name slips on my tongue, a stranger’s taste;
The dullness and the gray leave me misplaced.

Well… I’ve read books with 100+ chapters, so it wouldn’t bother me at all. The book I’m reading right now is YA fantasy with roughly 70 chapters. If your chapters are a little short, it might make sense to combine some of them so it doesn’t feel too choppy. But otherwise it’s all up to you.

Tamales especially are definitely a holiday food here. Although that doesn’t mean we don’t eat them year round, which we do, they’re just a Christmas tradition I guess.
No waaaay. O.O That’s our tradition! We have homemade tamales for Christmas dinner every year, plus a huge smorgasbord of cheese, meats, candies, etc.
