@waterlily *tearfully accepts sympathy* *cheers up* Maybe!  I hope so.  I remember the gist of what I wrote, so I’ll go from there.  I guess 500 words doesn’t seem like a whole lot in novel terms, but it was for a short story, so a whole page missing is probably about an eighth of the whole thing.

Somebody sympathize with me, please!  I just found out I lost probably five hundred words that weren’t autosaved when my computer died!  🙁  I was really stupid not to save it every five minutes, but it’s too late now, and it’s all gone.

@waterlily

Oh thank you! I’m so happy that you enjoyed it!

@rochellaine

Thank you, that means so much to me 🙂 I did my absolute best to make the ending hopeful and not too depressing because I hate depressing books (I don’t like Romeo and Juliet either. It’s overly melodramatic and depressing in my view)

I sing a lot too. I mean why talk when…[Read more]

ooh, this is a cool idea. Tough question, too, so let’s see if I can explain my view on it.

In truth, I think all you really need to do is look at the Bible–specifically, the Old Testament. Many books in the Old Testament deal with false gods, idolatry, etc, but all for the purpose of showing the tension between God’s chosen people, the…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Could you point out a place where they aren’t relevant?  I can’t find any myself, but that could be because I wrote it. 🙂

@seekjustice “Only One main character dies!”  I might be able to handle that.  At the end of Stars Fill Infinity I totally agreed with Chess that I couldn’t take it anymore!  🙂  By the time you finish the sequel I will probably have healed from the trauma of watching all those characters die.

But seriously, though I usually do feel like that…[Read more]

@daeus, thanks.

I meant plot, not theme earlier….

I have a girl that needs to be drawn.

Precium, or just Cium

four years old, chubby round face, bright smile with on dimple, green eyes, wild wispy curly golden blonde hair that frames her face. a plain dress that reaches just below her knees and a woolen cloak that is about an inch longer with a hood usually off.

shy, but brave and kind. later…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Please do!  I’m glad you like it!  And I will need a lot more advice before I can make this story as clean and smooth as it should be.

Here is the link again, in case it’s hard to find in all the posts going back and forth here.

@sam-kowal Thanks for your comments.

Are his recollections about his street life irrelevant to what is happening?  I wanted to have them in there so you get a little bit of his background, and he uses them to explain why he acts certain ways.

@waterlily I actually agree. 🙂  I never use this type of voice, which is why I posted it here, be…[Read more]

@skredder I told you before that I thought the idea was a good one. 🙂  The opening you posted sounds great, except for the fact that in the very first couple of sentences I had to read them several times before I figured out who was talking.  I thought the little six-year-old girl was the one who had been gone, which obviously wouldn’t make s…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Can I join in? I can only really draw manga…but I’m not very good.

@jessi-rae Thank you! 😀

@warrioroftherealm Nope, I wouldn’t say that’s cliché. Actually, I think it’s cool.

*disappears in a poof of smoke*

Hey Jackson,

Off the top of my head, I can’t think of a movie in which something along those lines occurs, so I’m not sure if it’s cliche, exactly, nor am I sure that it’s at all practical–although, I don’t know what you’re writing this for, or the world it takes place in, so that’s not for me to say.

Short answer…no, in my opinion, it’s not cliche.

‘ello @livgiordano did you get this all figured out?

Hey @skredder! Sounds like an intriguing idea you’ve got here! I’d tell you to go for it, but it looks like you’ve already got all the help you’ll need. 😉

lol, thank you both for sharing your advice! @dekreel @mnvalentine

It’s Monday, and that means the weekly fun email is very close! If you haven’t already, drop your words of wisdom here and get a chance to be in the newsletter! 😉

@jenwriter17  For good measure…….

I drew this one (below) for a character Xchange:

And finally, one of my absolute favorite villains of all time…

I do have better examples, I just happen to not have pictures of them 😛
