@joy-caroline Yes, definitely! My opening chapters often feel flat. I write things that happen to the characters and that I think are important, only to figure out later that it wasn’t really important or added anything to the overall story. Sometimes my opening chapters drag on, and I decide that I need to move into the plot quicker or make the…[Read more]

Okay then… 🙂 I might as well just add both of the charries because I’m interested on how they’ll all interact with each other. If it gets to be too much, I’ll take one or two out!

So there’s Molly, who’s a runaway slave and has a fake/mechanical leg (made by Everett) that extends from her right knee down. She is…[Read more]

@keilah-h @e-m-trepke @power

So… I have two other characters that I’d like to add because they could really use some character development, but I didn’t know if that would be too much…

I could take out my character I have now (Everett) and replace him with another. Or I could add both… I didn’t know what ya’ll thought. I just didn’t want…[Read more]

I’ve done a bit of research on DID since my volunteer work had me deal with someone who has that, and a few things I remember that might be helpful:

– I would say that what your charrie has sounds like it. . . rather minorly, though.

– Switches tend to be very sudden, and whichever personality is “driving” at the moment may not want what the…[Read more]

‘Eyy, nice. 😉

For me. . . hmmm. I love my cheerfully sassy characters who may have gone through a lot but are just so adorable with the other charries *cough cough* definition of Will *cough cough*. XD They’re great.

Hey there, Arden! (That name is worthy of being a character’s. XD)

Welcome to KingdomPen! I’m newer to the forum, too, so I probably won’t be able to answer all that many questions, but at least we can stumble around being completely confused together. XP

What kind of characters do you like writing best?

@keilah-h @e-m-trepke @power

That’s kinda funny–not really, being sick is not fun–but I was also sick last week. Glad to hear you are better! Also, I just thought it was amusing that you guys call Everett, “Dark,” to shorten his alias sometimes because he hates when people give him nicknames. 🙂

Anyway…!

Everett

He side-glanced his…[Read more]

@lewilliams Hey! I just now saw your message to me. I seriously have no idea how I missed it. XD But anyway, to answer your question, I’m actually not on YDubs, but I do have friends who are on it.

@keilah-h @power @e-m-trepke

Apologies for the late response! My cousins were visiting all week! 🙂 I’m going to assume it’s alright if I take a turn since no one else has yet!

Everett

An ice crystal slid down his sleeve and fell to the dirty tile beneath his feet. The room their group had evacuated into was significantly warmer than the…[Read more]

@e-m-trepke @keilah-h @power

Everett

When Hesh reached for his dagger, Everett did the same. These “statues” were strangely placed, almost strategically.

Whoever had placed them, had been expecting guests.

He clutched his dagger, trying not to shake too hard, and followed the group deeper into the freezing corridor. The animals were growing…[Read more]

@keilah-h @e-m-trepke @power

Everett

He was about to ask why in the world they wanted to entering a room covered head to toe in ice. But Feather had said in her world, they stored food in machines like this to keep them fresh. Brilliant! Perhaps they’d find something to eat..?

All his hope evaporated as he followed the others through the large…[Read more]

@e-m-trepke

Would you like to go next??

@elishavet-pidyon

Ah, alright! 🙂

@keilah-h @e-m-trepke @power

Everett

Everett worked his jaw as he weighed his options. He was starving and dehydrated, and exhaustion was creeping up on him. Perhaps this was one of those times it didn’t matter whether he could trust people or not. Did he have a choice?

He tried to remember whether he had left a dagger in his satchel or not,…[Read more]

@keilah-h @e-m-trepke @power

Sorry for the late response!!! 🙂

Everett

“Judging from your question,” Feather asked, “you don’t happen to be the castle’s owner or know who it is?”

Everett forced himself to stop glaring at Rinzler and look at the girl instead, but the guy’s grouchy voice still rang through his head– if I hadn’t already re…[Read more]
