True. I’d enter him under Alpha Grath though, since in the other rp I worry if I’m confusing ppl.

Yeah, I think he’d do best.

Notice how everyone seems to have a similar style when they first start writing?

I’m still debating adding someone…I know who I would add, just I’m…idk,

Nahim

He probably should have stopped to at least take a deep breath to clear his head. Why he had given a terror bomb to someone who knew nothing about them. He looked over at Nora, she was farther away from Fennin than Nahim. Good, if it goes off by accident, it’ll hit me first. I need to keep it that way. 

Nahim unholstered his gungedal, t…[Read more]

First Drafts? Novel drafts, about one and a half. Short story drafts, one.

Revision drafts? One. And one in progress.

Finished? None

Reworking? One short story.

Ideas? Hundreds.

Novels I plan to publish before I’m thirty? Six.

Genres? Fantasy/sci-fi. I used to write historical fic when I was around eleven. Had a series planned.

To rp or not rp, that is the question, that is the key. Even rhymes still 🙂

Should I rp?

@ellie-wingfeather

If we’re counting completed drafts, even if they’re of the same story then I have… four. Including incomplete drafts (and drafts of stories I wrote when I was nine) then that’s… ten? I think? Maybe 12, but I deleted those docs and can’t remember if they were completed or not.

Now, counting completed drafts and short stori…[Read more]

Woah, that post is massive. Sorry Janessa for hijacking your topic 🤣

@savannah_grace2009 @whalekeeper @trailblazer

Oh… oops. XD I didn’t know this would start a whole discussion. But that’s okay! It’s really interesting to hear y’all’s opinions.

I wasn’t necessarily trying to say that publishers aren’t looking for a good book. I’m just saying that publishers can be really harsh with what they accept and what t…

Unless it was a historical fiction or something, which doesn’t allow that sort of thing.

Fawkes and Romanov by Nadine Brandes are both historical fiction with fantasy mixed in. They’re both really good.

@ellie-wingfeather

I have only ever finished a flash fiction piece, a short story, and a cringy picture book when I was like seven. But I have a ton of started and abandoned ideas, ranging from like a page long to 20k words. I’m not sure if I’ll ever finish any of them, but I might go back to some eventually.

Now I lean towards softer science…[Read more]

@ellie-wingfeather

I’ve only ever finished two long stories.
One was about four kids who go to another world…It can be found in the topic “what’s the cringiest thing you’ve ever written”.

And one was about a broken family who learns to love each other. I’ve never posted ANY of this.

I have a huge binder full of stories I’ve started but never…[Read more]

@ellie-wingfeather

What genre do you lean to when writing?

Oop, I didn’t see this question.

I agree with my brother, fantasy and maybe sci-fi. I wouldn’t even have any idea how to write contemporary or historical fiction.

@ellie-wingfeather
Exactly zero. (Unless you count the super cringey ‘Pontoon Boat Catastrophe’ which I wrote when I was seven. It can be found in the ‘what’s the cringiest thing you’ve ever written’ topic)

Heyy! I’m Sara, though most people around here call me…well, they call me Sara. XD

Anyways, I’m a chocolate consuming, emotionally unstable, sleep deprived, algebra loving, public school attending freshman!

Here are some random questions:

Do you ever talk to yourself?

Have you ever subconsciously narrated parts of your…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @esther-c @trailblazer

Okay…I think I’m just not good at saying what I mean. Let me try again, haha!

But Esther has a good point of view, that publishers are also looking for well-written material to a degree, because readers like good writing, and therefore good writing will sell. I’m not saying all readers have quality taste, but…

@trailblazer

One book that I found interesting is The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein. It’s sci-fi, but it is about a revolution on Luna against Terra, and the parallels are brilliant! I actually have a clearer picture of what it must have been like in some ways in the revolutionary war. Beware, Heinlein is not a Christian. T…[Read more]
