Lin replied to the topic Dramatic Scenes in the forum Plotting 5 years, 1 month ago
@keilah-h Thanks for the tag! Yeah, most of the time I do fantasy. Nice scene! Very dramatic indeed.
*thinks for a very long time* Yeah, I really don’t remember or know what scenes I write are dramatic… Here’s a prologue from a short story that I’m working on, though:
“If you don’t tell me the information, lady, I’m afraid I’m going to have to…

Lin replied to the topic Maps (creative title, I know) in the forum Fantasy 5 years, 1 month ago
@faith-q Well, I’ve handdrawn really bad maps before…just to get an idea of what direction my characters are going. But yeah, there are online map-makers that you can use.

@elfwing I’m glad I made you laugh. And yes, you would be correct 😝

Lin replied to the topic Christian Dystopian novel– easy read in the forum Novel Critique Requests 5 years, 1 month ago
@e-k-seaver I honestly don’t have much or any experience with writing or reading Christian fiction, so I honestly can’t be of much help, besides giving you, like, y’know, a regular reader’s perspective. You have my email already, so if you want to send it to me, I’d be happy to give it a read.

This looks so much fun! Thanks for tagging me 🙂 Here’s the first three things the protagonist of my previous WIP, Ilio, says. He’s a sweet, shy, academic boy who also happens to be a werewolf.
1). “Why am I naked?” Hmmm…I promise this makes sense in context.
2). “What has happened to me?”
3). “No.”
Interesting…

I just got it! Thank you!

Kathleen replied to the topic What are the 1st three things your MC says? in the forum Characters 5 years, 1 month ago
So fun! These are from the messy first draft of the story I’m writing with my siblings
“Geez, Ted, I thought you were a superhero.”
“We climb onto the roof and break into the skylight. You unplug the freezers and smash all the ice cream cones, and I’ll find the secret recipes and vault. Got it?”
“Did you bring the grappling hook and ha…

@nova21 XD Plenty of adventures to choose from!
I love your lines as well! Dylan sounds like he’d be quite hard to work with.
@writerlexi1216 Felicity sounds like what you described her as. Nice job!
@daisy-torres I’d want to be Catherine’s friend!
@lewilliams I want to meet Horace, like, right now. He sounds so proper.

@nova21 Ay, good luck! Glad I could be of use.

@nova21 Oo, fun! Hard time to find which MC though, haha…
This is for Nan Jinqi, who’s, um, what is he like… He’s quiet and dependable, I think. Quite observant. Hard-working. I don’t know that much about him yet.
1) “Run!”
2) “It was your stupid machine that crashed and burned, [action tag omitted], And who said I was here to stop you?”

Lin replied to the topic Overcoming Writer's Burnout : in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 1 month ago
@writerlexi1216 Ah, yes, the first time I won NaNoWriMo I didn’t write another word for 4 months. Not worth it lol. But since then I’ve built up my writing muscles.
For me I just keep floundering around in water like I’m about to drown. I tell myself I’m gonna keep writing, but in reality it’s so painful I can only get out 100 words a day. But…[Read more]

Lin replied to the topic How do you continue a character arc in a series? in the forum Plotting 5 years, 1 month ago
@nova21 I like this idea! Unfortunately I never plot out my character arcs so I can’t help you with that. Best of luck, though. I believe one time someone told me that an overarching theme for a series + individual themes for each book is good, so I think that could work the same with arcs. Maybe for the next book focus on something more…[Read more]

Hey! Nice to meet you! It’s Awesome to have you here in the Kingdom!
How long have you been writing?
Also, congrats on writing you first full length novel! The first one is definitely the hardest. ( At least from my experience).

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writing A Christian Fantasy-HELP in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 1 month ago
Hello there! Sorry its taken me a while to get back to you 😀
There’s been a lot of good answers to your questions already, so I’ll do my best to give my two cents.
Personally, I write in two genres and my approach to putting God into those stories is different. My main genres are historical and fantasy, and my historical stuff…[Read more]

That story is actually amazing. The creativity is unmatched.
Who else write a story where the population is turning into vegetables?
Now I’m curious about how all these characters fit together in one story.
Also, chocolate covered raisins are underrated.
I actually laughed out loud reading…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Probably a weird one that I never finished where I had some of my characters in some strange situation… My extraterrestrial was doing math homework, my villain was playing baseball (more like hitting the foundation of the house with a baseball bat) and another was getting hyper off of chocolate covered raisins. And then there was…[Read more]
