Hmm. I do have a series with a magic system, but as it’s a series I haven’t started writing yet (just outlining and world building *shudders*) the system isn’t all figured out.

But it’s like Wingfeather or Ella Enchanted (the book) style magic where it’s more a part of the way the world works than the regular book magic (not sure if…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

I was so confused………..XD

Just the fact that one of my protagonists is biracial brings up so many questions that have to be answered so I can sleep at night.

This stuff keeps you up too? XD

And oh. There’s so much. “World-building” is almost a deceivingly simple word. We’re literally making up worlds. This is micro-fictional-creation.

@elishavet-pidyon

And the fact that A_____’s captor is a bit of an infidel because he has spurned most of the religion for a form of stoicism. His wife is devout though, and it’s sad.

*Is sad with you*

@whalekeeper

XD

I suppose they are. *Nods sagely*

The evil/weird religious system in my WIP so far only has moon worship and possibly vag…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Oh, and then you’ll have to figure out what the gods represent, and then you’ll have to have a basic mythology, and then there’s the question of how they teach this mythology….

@whalekeeper

*Sniffles* It’s okay. I think.

I may need boundaries.

XD

@whalekeeper

*Whimpers*

Maps? I tried. I really did.

*Screaming intensifies*

Yeah, I probably need to find some natural boundaries I can stick in. I’m not trying to be Tolkien. I just don’t know where to make it stop.

Not that I don’t love it at the same time…..

@keilah-h

It’s okay Keilah. The other day I called one of my characters something like “my little wolf child” and “baby”.

My older sister looked at me with this blank stare and asked who I was talking about because “Isn’t he the soldier?”

@whalekeeper

Ahhhhhhhhhhh yesss…… It never ends …..

I actually really need to flesh out some of my cultures on these lines, but then there’s the cultures inside bigger cultures, and the random pockets of society, and this is just one tribe?!

*Screams into pillow in a mixture of pure joy and pain*

@rae

Ah yes. Some writers talk about their super organized notes, and I’m just like “I have a head. And some notes here…or maybe over there…”

@raxforge

I’m not sure what a good process is, but here’s basically what I do.

I have a doc for each of my series that is mostly just notes about the characters, the plotline, and a bunch of random culture things. And then I’ve scribbled some things down in notebooks, but I haven’t kept up with those so I don’t really know if I have that stuff…[Read more]

Thanks for joining, y’all! It was awesome to kinda actually meet you.

May your words flow easily into your WIPs and all characters do as they should.

@theducktator

haha! I think it may have more been like loaded shotguns in plain view……………. lololololol. And a lot of protesting.

This can be a wild town because you have the super political people, and then you have the old school farmers and such.

@theducktator

I know right!!!

The Governor actually talked about splitting up households so that there were ten people each. So having small neighbor families move in together and big family split.

That’s when the American spirit kicked in for a lot of folks and they were like, “oh you just try.”

And remember y’all, we did decide to wear light costumes of some sort this week if anyone else wants to (like nothing too nuts. I’ll probably just be wearing a hat)

@theshadow

I’m going to email it so that only we have access.

@elishavet-pidyon

💯 amazing!!!! 🤩

I love, love them!! So good! You are an insanely good artist!

@theducktator

I am, but the city district banned all meetings over ten people of the same family and three who are not related, and people were getting fined and arrested. Our city can be pretty corrupt.

@grcr

Oh gracious. Thank you. XD Time zones are not my strong point.

@theducktator

3! You have another couple hours!

@theducktator

Nope! 2 pm Central, so 1 o’clock EST.
