I WANNA KNOW THE PLOT TWIST! 😁

@kathleenraumm

I honestly could say everything and anything, but often I prefer to use different ways of looking at the world as inspiration, though that’s not always the case. Once I worldbuilded simply from the desire to have magic in the story and there are four kids with it and the king’s family, and then I dove into why only they had mag…[Read more]

No need to apologize! I understand that urge and need. Every writer has it at some point. 😉

@hirsegirl13

np! And I can’t wait to hear what you come up with, if you decide to share!

The worldbuilding and the characters.

I have found that one of my favorite things about writing is the worldbuilding (which explains why I enjoy writing fantasy so much). Plus, the worldbuilding of this particular project I’m especially proud of. It’s pretty simple, compared to many, but it’s still complex and developing. And I love it.

I am al…[Read more]

@horsegirl13

What sort of underwater things can you imagine? What is the government system for the fish and sharks? Do fish have to hide from their predators, like sharks, still? How do they manage that? Does that affect travel and commerce? Is there much trading between the different places and groups? Is there magic of some sort that protects…[Read more]

@keilah-h @power @e-m-trepke

Apologies for the late response! My cousins were visiting all week! 🙂 I’m going to assume it’s alright if I take a turn since no one else has yet!

Everett

An ice crystal slid down his sleeve and fell to the dirty tile beneath his feet. The room their group had evacuated into was significantly warmer than the…[Read more]

Well, @joy-caroline, your side character is a human too.

What is something he wants? What is his desire in life? Will he be focusing on a having it while helping out his friend, or will helping his friend be his entire focus for the duration of the story, like Sam in The Lord of the Rings? Why are the two friends? What caused them to become…[Read more]

This one’s not a complete scene, or a proper one, because it is all dialogue, but I still like it a lot (despite the fact that it is a less than perfect rewrite of the original that I lost due to shocking technology, and is but half the perfection compared to the absolutely satisfactory original).

[A little context: Hager is the antagonist of the…[Read more]

Everett

When Hesh reached for his dagger, Everett did the same. These “statues” were strangely placed, almost strategically.

Whoever had placed them, had been expecting guests.

He clutched his dagger, trying not to shake too hard, and followed the group deeper into the freezing corridor. The animals were growing…[Read more]

@keilah-h @e-m-trepke @power

Everett

He was about to ask why in the world they wanted to entering a room covered head to toe in ice. But Feather had said in her world, they stored food in machines like this to keep them fresh. Brilliant! Perhaps they’d find something to eat..?

All his hope evaporated as he followed the others through the large…[Read more]

@e-m-trepke

Would you like to go next??

What is your favorite book of the Bible and why?

Probably the Gospel of St. John, because his is easy to read and I enjoy it, and it is read during important liturgical events, no matter what year it is. (The Mass includes readings from either of the other three Gospels (Matthew, Mark, or Luke) depending on whether the liturgical year is A, B, or…[Read more]

Zoe

Zoe ran, as quick as her feet would carry her, tears streaming from her face. She had done it all wrong and now Corvina hated her! She’d sent her away! Corvina wouldn’t protect her now! Malcolm could get her.

Zoe screamed, panic erasing her tears, clearing her eyes so she no longer ran blindly.  Her body shifted as her m…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Ah, alright! 🙂

@koshka @godlyfantasy12 @elishavet-pidyon

(I’ll get to Zoe later, for now, I just have time for Milla.)

Milla

“Wait! For just a moment, wait.”

The girl leapt forward and grabbed her hand, not necessarily keeping her from going, but Milla stopped anyway. Perhaps they knew the others well enough to prevent a fight. Though, they had run from the…[Read more]

Everett

Everett worked his jaw as he weighed his options. He was starving and dehydrated, and exhaustion was creeping up on him. Perhaps this was one of those times it didn’t matter whether he could trust people or not. Did he have a choice?

He tried to remember whether he had left a dagger in his satchel or not,…[Read more]

@koshka, so, yeah… I didn’t really explain that, heh. Bust itself is a place I made up that’s like a world between worlds where visitors come from any point in their story you/I want, and when they leave, everything they experienced is erased completely and they return like they’ve never left.

The Council of Bust is me, quite basically, split…[Read more]
