@dekreel, good work. 🙂 I like the small installments.

@dragon-snapper, uuuuuummmmmmmm.

yeah.

I’m not going to be much help with this, cause I do the same thing.

One of the things I’ve found helpful is, like @daeus said, insert hope. Your characters should be driven by their goals.

Unless your MC is like mine, who is just plain hurting and miserable, and kind of takes it out on everyone else.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper If the problem is just that your story seems too dismal, make sure there’s always an element of hope mixed in with the chaos and strive to focus on your characters’ yearnings/ambitions that drive them forward. If you’ve got that all down, I bout your story could be too dismal. Problems tend to intensify stories. It’s only stories…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper 😀

*when you should be studying for your Philosophy exam but would rather laugh at other Keepers’ insane awesomeness*
Yep. You guys are the greatest. XD

@christianna-hellwig, You have a beautiful range! And yeah, sopranos… we might be a little biased, but it’s so much fun! 😉

I recently did the Rogers and Hammerstein musical ‘Cinderella’, and really loved it. About 200 people auditioned and the cast had 80 in the end which is pretty big for a musical! I auditioned for the role of Cinderella,…[Read more]

@seekjustice, sorry, I’m wading through school sorting. My table’s covered in paper, but the words on it it aren’t nice story words. 🙁

@christianna-hellwig

Opera! I don’t sing much classic opera, (German, Italian, etc.), but I love singing things like ‘The Phantom of the Opera’.

And I’m a soprano (G3 to E6). You?

Um, yeah. Hilarious, or cringy, one of those. 😀

Yes! I’m currently writing a novel about an Australian nurse in WWII, serving in PNG. It’s alternative historical fiction.

@rochellaine I’ll play it by ear. I like writing poetry, but I might be swamped this week.

@rochellaine Ha! That made my day.

@dekreel, that’s great! Well done. 🙂

@christianna-hellwig, they take a bit of getting used to. 😉

I play piano, guitar, and sing. I’m thinking about studying vocals at University. Did you study something musical at College, since you’re now composing an opera?

I’ve only been writing seriously for 4 years, so no finished books yet, but I’ve been thinking I can write since I was…[Read more]

@dekreel I love it. 😀

@Dekreel sweet. 😀

@ashlyvye Oh, there were others when I joined. I showed up just in time to crash their party, and now they’ve made me king. How cool is that?

@ashlyvye Haha! Well, I’ve been on the forum since the day it started so they just slowly accumulated over time. Plus, I used to be super active on here. (@that_writer_girl_99)

I’ve read the Mistborn trilogy and The Way of Kings. I’m not really sure which one I like better.

@christianna-hellwig, Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet! 🙂

You. Write. Opera.!!!!!???????????!!!!!!!!!!

How did no one else pick up on that??? @dekreel, @that_writer_girl_99, @rochellaine, @mnvalentine….

Anyways. WOW! How long have you been composing for?

I play a couple of instruments but would really like to play violin……[Read more]

@ashlyvye I don’t know how I managed to miss you until now, but welcome! Just so you know, there are a handful of Brandon Sanderson fans on here, myself included. 😉

You should definitely read The Lord Of The Rings. I admit, parts of it can be a slow read, but it gives you a deeper look at the characters. Also, I believe the meaning behind the…[Read more]

@rochellaine,  7 books???!!!???

Wow.

I’m gonna go eat ice cream and cry in my closet now.

And maybe do some writing. 😉

I just finished a term and a bit’s worth of science, history and math in one week, so writing hasn’t been remotely feasible. I’ll be back to it a bit more now, but I start more schoolwork on Monday, so…

yeah.
