@dekreel  Hmm…I love that one too, but I really love The Horse and His Boy and The Silver Chair (which happens to be coming out in a movie next year!  YES!  🙂

@jess-penrose @dekreel @winter-rose @perfectfifths @daughteroftheking @that_writer_girl_99 Anyone up for word war? 😀 Or just being here? 😀

@dekreel Ok, I’m here! The Snowmoors is mostly pretty flat, with lots of ice, although there are a lot of rock outcroppings. You’ll find snow cobras, snow scorpions, and snow crocodiles there. And I have no clue what’s west of the Snowmoors—that’s up to you, I guess. 😉 (I’ve never been to the mountains.)

And I think @0-0enyali0-0 explained i…[Read more]

@shannon @emily Yesss. The Borg. “You will be assimilated. Your biological and technological collectives will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.” Which Star Treks do you guys watch?

@dekreel Ratatoullie?

@catwing @dekreel @Allison-grace @princessfoo *peers into the shadows* Anyone around?

@dekreel I’ll try to answer some of those questions…!

1. Honestly I have no idea, I haven’t gone to the Snowmoors yet in the game.

2. I don’t know that either… haha… I’m being very helpful!

3. Engine Bay is basically a beach. I’ll try to get in-game pictures of the place to give you a feel. It’s not a town or anything, it’s just a beach…[Read more]

Well.  I’m back.  *happy sigh*

@dragon-snapper @dekreel @inkling-for-christ @graciegirl and everyone else…

Happy *coughlatecough* Thanksgiving!!!

@ethryndal  Hear hear!

@dekreel Sorry, I haven’t been on here in a while! (Thanksgiving, LoTR marathon, and all that 😏😏)

Here’s a map of Aethasia with some places labeled for your reference. 😉

( @aislinn-mollisong @silverclaw-bonnetfolly @0-0enyali0-0 @destiny)

@dekreel Oh yeah. *facepalm* Thanks.

@dragon-snapper See above. 😛

@emily I wanna say Spongebob 😛

@dekreel Is the “Resistance is futile” in your referring to the Borg? 😛

Well, I’d respond to this, but @dekreel already did and nailed it. I’m struggling with this in my WIP, but I’m not quite to writing yet, so I don’t think I need to worry about it?

@waterlily This is something I struggle with too! Writing in limited third makes me feel so detached from the characters, which is hard for me to push through since I’m so character focused when I write. Though I want to learn how to write in deep third to expand beyond what I’m comfortable with now.
I think @dekreel nailed it though! I would…[Read more]

@waterlily @dekreel and @sam-kowal have some good advice. There’s also more than one way to do a third person pov. There’s omniscient point of view, as if the author is God who can see and know everything, hear and read everyone’s minds. That can be confusing to read if it’s not written well. An author who pulls it off successfully would be John…[Read more]

@dekreel 😀 a GREAT one. *immediately starts looking on Amazon for a dragon-proof drumset*

@waterlily @dekreel I’m signing off now. Happy Thanksgiving and good luck with your projects 😀

@waterlily @dekreel

Hmm

I struggle with the same thing sometimes. I can’t decide whether to write in 1st or 3rd limited.

Before today’s books, most stories were in  3rd person omniscient, so you could kind of see the story from every character’s point of view. And now, especially for popular YA, 1st person is king.

Of course, the only thing…[Read more]

@dekreel *jaw drops*

Those are some EPIC maps. Especially with all the topography legend and details

I don’t know that much about the worlds you’ve created, so I can’t be sure if there are any inconsistencies. But, awesome job. ;D

@dekreel 😀 Well, personally I wouldn’t recommend them at your next choir practice– OW!

(Stan just lashed his tail at me for saying that)

But… I guess they do have add a nice deep growling effect if you want the song to have a little aggression… so we were like

“WE’RE SO THANKFUUUUULLL”

in a really forceful way

@dekreel for the maps, I think that they look great! (Did you draw those yourself?? If not, what did you use? I still need a map for my WIP 😉 ) although I don’t see Bootleg Pass in Aethasia (it leads from the beach [which I think is called Cog Bay] to No Man’s Landing, and my character lives about three quarters of the way to No Man’s Landing in…[Read more]

@dekreel Its been great 😀

Stan feasted, and I tried to write while making pies. And we both sang a song about the things were thankful for (trust me, we weren’t in tune),

@dekreel I’m here, and I’ll write with you
