yes… she’s part Silyan, and then she has Brennavaian, Elphin, Star-Eye, Phelanian, Bardan and Peluvaro in her bloodline too. she’s 5’4″, ash-blonde hair and eyes that shift colors and is a little tigress when you make her mad, which is a bad idea, since she has Bardan (griffin morpher) in her, and Peluvaro (owl…[Read more]

this is true about sadness; and a good reminder for not making writing too dramatic
And yeah it totally depends on the person! I have been starting to boycott making characters cry with sad things, usually I use things like them going tense, “eyes dulling”, “looking weary”, “jaw clenched”, etc… but I have those heartbroken scenes…[Read more]

okay cool!!
so in my novel I have this people group called the Silyans; they are all beautiful maidens, and they are immortal… UNLESS they marry or bind themselves in friendship with a mortal, and then when that spouse or friend dies, they die with them, no matter where they are.
They also have power over gems and precious…[Read more]

Yes, they are, a good death scene is really satisfying, and in the case of my book, the hero and heroine’s deaths wrapped up the climax really well. I like a good death scene better than a romantic scene to be honest.
Yes I have… though I am thinking of making the last three and my WIP into a sequel series, because it’s central…[Read more]

Hello! oh yes you can ask, I don’t mind
The characters who would likely be crying now/soon:
A young man with PTSD and he’s about to enter a war in a place he has been before and hates it because of a really hard past being under the evil rule of a dark lord who trained him as an assassin.
A girl who’s the ‘be tough’ type, and is…[Read more]

Hello again!
haha thank you! it’s a line from my first fantasy novel that the beloved Tyroll Rouronon says. He’s my readers’ favorite character, (is it pride to say he’s mine as well? XD)
I like the signature you have as well, it’s a powerful one that makes one stop and think… at least it does me. and thank you for the tips!…[Read more]

Hi! I have a fantasy WIP and I wanted some feedback on some of it if that’s okay…
Warning: I’m like how Gandalf described hobbits discussing family trees, when it comes to my world; “They can sit upon the edge of ruin and discuss family connections to the ninth degree…” something like that XD
What kind of Wip stuff can I post on this?…[Read more]

Yeah my friends call me a tragedy writer but they also say the reason they like my writing is because some of the good guys die and not just the bad guys, so I stick to my plot mwahahaha I is evil
Ohhhhh thanks!!! I haven’t tried thesaurus before, not sure why, I’ll totally try that! thanks!
I also use sob/sobbing a lot XD and whimper,…[Read more]

Okay this may sound funny, but I need help with writing about people crying
A lot of it is happening in my current WIP, and I am so sick and tired of the phrases; “Tears welled up-“, “-eyes pooled with tears-” “-eyes misted up” etc.
I’ve tried several new phrases but they all sound ridiculously cheesy.
Help!

HAHA apples are grown up cherries, that is awesome!!! oh man, I remember someone telling me I’d have sprouts grow out of my ears if I ate apples seeds, my sister avoided them like the plague and I ate all the ones I could get, just to be a rebel XD

HAHA oh man, I feel sorry for them… (almost)
oh and a line I just came up with yesterday for a sarcastic book character, “oh, my heartbreak.” *pauses while they whine some more, sighs, “suck it up, you’re fine, I don’t see blood or broken bones.”
