Ah, thank you.

@keilah-h @whoever-cares

I have a scene you might possibly like.

“What do you want?” inquired a strange masculine voice behind him.

Nahim swung around, his crystal sword hitting a breastplate, damaging the paint. Nahim leaned back in surprise. This man seemed to be wearing mithaln! The man, his face covered by a helmet of the style commonly use…

I’ve made it a point in the past year or so to make eye contact when I’m listening to someone, but sometimes I start thinking of ways I’d describe their eyes in a book and stop paying attention to what they’re actually saying. 🫣😂

@theducktator

Yeah for realllll!

Typically I’m not emotional during movies, but when I watched If, it got me tearing up, especially the part where the girl (can’t remember her name, lol) is talking to her dad when he’s asleep in the hospital. I do remember thinking that it was a little dramatic, her being super worried about her dad as soon as things went downhill. (In fact, if…[Read more]

yeahhh it can be really hard sometimes :/

@anyone

(I’m posting this here cuz I don’t want to make a whole new topic 😛 )

I’ve heard mixed opinions on this, so I wanted to hear what y’all think. Do you find it annoying to read stuttering when it’s written into dialogue?

I ask that because some people suggest to indicate that the character was stuttering by the dialogue tag. The probl…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Yesss! For some reason I loved that movie too. (:

@whalekeeper

While I am more emotional objectively than Linus, being a girl teen and all, I do not like sharing my feelings or even physically expressing them through tears. I am an extremely private person and I do not like to look for sympathy from anybody; it makes me feel guilty. I tend to cry in private.

One side of me would like to be c…

I also forgot that you guys talked about this on this thread so I posted a different reply in the other topic.

@linus-smallprint @ellette-giselle

I’m kind of bored and I just wanted to pop in on this conversation cuz I find it really interesting!

If my brother were to accuse me of not caring (which might actually happen), I would get even more frustrated because I would want to care more, but find myself unable to.

YES THIS IS SO ME! I mean I’d definitely…[Read more]

Maybe it wasn’t in this forum…but I know I heard it somewhere, lol!

Did I just hear that most girls want to be held and comforted?!?!?

I’m not like this AT ALL!

I prefer to sob on my bedroom floor by myself and when my family comes in I pretend like I’m fine XD

and then when I do work up the courage to tell someone what’s bothering me…

I do not want to be held…I want someone to tell me how to fix the probl…[Read more]

Jep

The dragon took to the skies, soaring after the bird.

“Cowards!” She exclaimed at the boys down below. “If the can’t handle surprises in life, then they won’t live long.” Her great head turned, one purple eye trained on the three boys on her back, holding onto the spines along her backbone. “But you deserve my help. With me on…[Read more]

@anyone

This might sound really weird, but I have no idea how to write girls. Sure, I can write emotions and stuff, but they usually become copies of each other personality wise, and even weirder, they aren’t copies of me. Estelle, Nae, Narsa and Ilsa are basically the only girls I’ve written who feel unique. Help?

@ellette-giselle

As you know, I’m not a guy, but I do like to write guys and I have two brothers (technically three, but he doesn’t count)

Just as a tip in general, it helps to think about the roles God made a man or a woman to fill. Woman are the emotionally unstable mothers, while men are the factual, rational fathers who keep the wives from…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I’m obviously not a guy, but my advice would be to find a happy medium between those two extremes. (Unless he actually would be on one end of the spectrum). Try to think of him as simply a character. Keep in mind that he’s a guy, but don’t get so caught up in that that you give him a reaction that isn’t consistent with his per…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint @ellette-giselle

This is a great topic! Maybe instead of just focusing on gender differences, it should extend to different personalities too? I for one would be interested to hear other people’s descriptions of how they process things and react to circumstances (and how it relates to their personality) even if they’re also…[Read more]
