Abigail.M. replied to the topic How do I make a non-cliche escape scene? in the forum Plotting 4 years, 4 months ago
Of course, I’m happy to ramble about ideas and I love talking with writers about their writing too:) I think you have a great story here and I already have a lot of sympathy for your poor characters; she loses her arm?! That’s aweful! (But awesome for character development).
Defiently.

You can get Torment for the piano?😃
Also, that scene when Torment plays makes me feel so much emotion, every time. Like how she tosses the things off the desk around the room, and then screams and cries at the toy dog. *Shivers.*
*Feels.*
Yeah, I’ve seen all the VE specials and the movie. I felt the movie kinda wrecked all the t…[Read more]

Thanks for the reccs anyway! My sister and I have actually already watched Totoro and Ponyo, she loved them, and I enjoyed them a lot more than I thought I would. They’re such cute movies!

Your book list is epic! And I love Viking Quest too — it’s like, my favourite book series ever! But my series of it has 5 books — have they changed it or something? My family’s series is the first editions.
I’d love your recommendations for kid-friendly manga and/or anime. My younger sister wants to watch more anim…[Read more]

Do you guys mind if I jump in here cause I love these topics?😊
I love Violet Evergarden’s music too! My favourites are Rust, Never Coming Back, The Voice in My Heart, The Ultimate Price, Inconsolable, The Love That Binds Us, and Believe In…
Yes, the extended editions of LOTR! My family never watches any other version — we’re kinda s…[Read more]

Oh boy. Here we go. This isn’t in order of when I read them, by the way, but these are all the new books I remember reading last year. (It’s already new year for me right now.)
How Many Books Have You Read This Year?
#1 The Way of Kings Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive Book 1

Hi everyone! Sorry for the late replies, I’ve been having a huge Christmas break
You’re totally not crazy! I think your cover idea sounds epic! I mean, leather? That’s so cool! And you seem to be quite a good artist — I’m sure you could draw it or use photoshop!
It’s still so funny that we inadvertently have similar nam…[Read more]

Love the covers, y’all!!! 🙂 Unfortunately, my only cover design has an old title on it, and the image I used doesn’t really work with the new title. Guess I need to design a new one! XD

Those are wonderful lines!!! (And I suddenly pity Wilfred’s poor journal😛😉)
Fanfics really are fun. It’s a chance to stretch your abilities as a writer! 🙂
My fanfic follows Helmer in the months following King Jupiter’s defeat. I think it’ll probably span from a week or two after the defeat to sometime after arriving at Clou…[Read more]

Wow, that sounds awesome! Wishing you the best with your trilogy, girl! Go get ‘em! 🙂 <333

Trahia the Minstrel replied to the topic Cover Art Sharing Space/Critique in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 4 months ago
Yeah, you’re not wrong about helmets😅. But my character doesn’t wear one as part of his design, probably for the reasons you just stated, though I never really thought about it before … however, the armour he’s wearing is ceremonial armour, not battle armour — it’s a sign of status, not a tool of strength. And the boy on the left actual…[Read more]

Thanks!
I love your compositions — it really evokes this feeling of wistfulness, or determination — the mood tells a story. I love the last one, and I think it’s cool you work in coloured pencils! I’ve done a lot of coloured pencils drawings before. Good job!

I love your collage! It’s definitely got me intrigued about your story.😊
Yes, art that you can feel satisfied with is sooo rewarding…
I love the second one you put up (which you said you’d done first), but since I don’t know your story, I can’t say whether the darker and more ominous aesthetic — which makes it feel lik…[Read more]

Thank you so much! The girl on the top of the cover is Princess LÃna Veh-Jûranal of FérÄ«jinar, Lily of the Oasis. As to what she’s worried about … that’ll have to remain a secret, until my 2nd book is finished 😉😁.
Yeah … I wanted to have ‘The Prince of WalfKlau’ at the top, and originally I did, but then I realised that i…[Read more]

Abigail.M. replied to the topic Cover Art Sharing Space/Critique in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 4 months ago
Wow, Trahia! I love these, especially the second one. I love the two girls in the center of the cover. The hairstyle, clothes, and expressions show a lot about them. Who is the girl on the top of the cover? She looks like a very intriguing character and makes me wonder what she’s so worried over. I really like her design. E…[Read more]

Hi Everyone! I’ve been making some rough sketches of my first two book covers, which I thought I’d share and hear whether you thought they looked good or not, and I thought maybe you guys would like to share your covers too, if you have them! It could be fun!


Book 1 and Book 2.
So I’ll go ahead and tag a bunch of people:
