Snapper

@kathleenramm Mm, I’ve always loved dragons. But after much consideration I’ve realised that a dragon would burn my papers to a crisp. Which is why I’m going for an eastern dragon. They can’t breathe fire (most, at least), they’re super duper cool, they can fly and take me places, they can fly up to the celestial heavens and talk with the…[Read more]

A sphinx. For all the same reasons. Plus, they speak in riddles, which would exercise my brain on a routine basis and potentially help me come up with more creative phrases to replace cliches because I could practice giving unexpected but accurate answers to said riddles. Plus, sphinxes are underappreciated and I like…[Read more]

Oh, I forgot to post yesterday. Well, since I can’t remember what I ended on, paper or PC, here’s one from my PC:

“As if people actually like him, man. His life probably sucks.”

@godlyfantasy12 This is a great idea! 😀 I absolutely love using worksheets for my creative process!

@joy-caroline

I can’t remember where I heard this, but this came to mind: “God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.” God gave you that story idea. He must want it t be told. By you. Just know that He wants to help you, strengthen you, support you. Yes, research is a must, but at some point you just have to let go, take a deep…[Read more]

@iluvhim18 Here it is…I put slashes in between the tags to avoid excess pinging people, so remove them when you do post it again.

“Alright, y’all, I’m not exactly sure how this will work but let’s go for it anyway! How many of you have seen (or joined/posted) on the I DARE YOU TO… topic? *pauses to watch hands shoot up* I thought so… Anyway, @…

@iluvhim18 Looks like the forum ate your topic…I still have what you wrote though, do you want me to copy/paste it over?

@iluvhim18 Awesome! Thanks Evelyn!

@iluvhim18 XD

Y’know, it would be fun if we had a topic to just post last lines from a writing day…

@elfwing Nice! I love the thought you’ve put into this!

@godlyfantasy12 You’re looking at a person who worldbuilds as she writes. On the other hand, for maps I usually just draw them by hand. So I’m afraid I can’t be of much help, ahhh….

@joy-caroline Mm….years ago, when I first started writing, I got a story idea. But it was on the deeper side, so I decided to let it sit and wait, and only just started writing it now. And I’m glad that I let it wait, even though I had really wanted to start it back then. So in the same way, I suggest you let this story idea sit and wait until…[Read more]

Great question! And one I personally don’t have the answer to. XD

However, my brother has been making fictional maps for years so he probably has some good advice. I’ll get back to you as soon as I ask him.

3/3: And once you have a map image, Map to Globe is super cool! (Assuming your world is a globe.) And definitely helpful if you want to see where things are in relation to one another in 3D.

2/3: I also have a whole Pinterest board of posts related to fantasy cartography, if you want to poke through it.

@godlyfantasy12

The forum ate my post. Let me see if I can split it into pieces so I only have one link per post…

1/3: I have a blog post about different methods for getting a map. Inkarnate is mentioned; I also give a few tips for hand-drawing maps.

@elfwing Those sound awesome! Do you have a favorite?

@abigail-m @nanisnook

Yep! That’s how you put the green line there for quotes! Thanks Abigail!

@iluvhim18

Why do these sorta-kinda-almost work together? I bet there are even more interesting ways to organize each of the sentences into other interesting stories. XD
