*sighs happily* Emotional scenes!!! I love them… 😛
So, a thesaurus is a great place to start when searching for verbs and phrases that describe emotion well (The thesaurus on my computer is my constant companion and regular helper. You might want to consider double-checking the meanings if you use a word from there though, just to…[Read more]

Hi, Lilly! Welcome to the forum! I’m Lydia. 😀
Ah, yes, J.R.R. Tolkien is the best! (In my humble opinion, he was one of the greatest novelists ever. 🙂) Love your signature and profile picture, by the way.
Here are a few questions for you, if you feel like answering them:
1) Who are your top three favorite authors?
2) What is your…[Read more]

Hi, Ariel! Welcome to the forum! I’m Lydia. 😀
Ooo, the genres you write in sound like loads of fun! I’m a dabbler when it comes to writing genres, so I’ve written something in most (Except mystery… Though mystery is a component in my main WIP). I’ve written a short story set in the future, and it was a lot of fun! I might have to…[Read more]

Okay this may sound funny, but I need help with writing about people crying
A lot of it is happening in my current WIP, and I am so sick and tired of the phrases; “Tears welled up-“, “-eyes pooled with tears-” “-eyes misted up” etc.
I’ve tried several new phrases but they all sound ridiculously cheesy.
Help!

HAHA apples are grown up cherries, that is awesome!!! oh man, I remember someone telling me I’d have sprouts grow out of my ears if I ate apples seeds, my sister avoided them like the plague and I ate all the ones I could get, just to be a rebel XD
yeah he’s not the most popular person, but he has some good stuff.

HAHA oh man, I feel sorry for them… (almost)
oh and a line I just came up with yesterday for a sarcastic book character, “oh, my heartbreak.” *pauses while they whine some more, sighs, “suck it up, you’re fine, I don’t see blood or broken bones.”
Homo sapiens XDD
my siblings would just ask me what it means until I tell them.…[Read more]

Elfwing replied to the topic What is your favorite hero and villain rivalry? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 11 months ago
I’d say Rodolpho and Marcello from River of Time series. (it’s a young adult series)
Rodolpho is on the enemy side, but likes the same girl as his old friend Marcello; he kidnaps her, falls in love with her, almost marries her, then minutes before they would have been in an arranged marriage that she didn’t want to be in, Marcello shows up so he…[Read more]

oh, ok, yeah, I wouldn’t know either lol
do you have any catch phrases?
“mwahahaha I is evil…” is when I’ve done something mysterious. When I’m trying to figure something out; “Give us a chance, precious! give us a chance! It must give us three guesses, precious! It must give us three!” *imitates Gollum’s voice and holds up two…[Read more]

Here is my first chapter in my WIP, Lin, I know you mentioned interest in it
By the way, it is in the middle of a series, in case some scenes don’t make as much sense.

Elfwing replied to the topic Brother and sister friendship in the forum Characters 4 years, 11 months ago
Thanks for the advice and input! You are right, siblings don’t seem to say that. I’ve only heard one person say that to their sister, ever. In fact, I’ve only heard guys say “Bro!” to friends, and I sometimes will say something and end it with “-sister!” but never to my sister. Funny how that works XD
Thanks! Glad you liked…[Read more]

Thanks! I love griffins… they just look so cool!!! The thing I like about fantasy is that I can make my own twists on creatures without people telling me I’m incorrect XD I mean, if I am wrong I like to know, but… yeah, with writing its…[Read more]
