Anatra replied to the topic Multiple Protagonists in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years ago
Mmmm, yes. I too have stumbled upon this in my writing life before. (not like, specifically, but I’ve struggled with multiple protagonists.)
In my early WIP I have two protagonists. But as the series develops I get like, three more. So in the first book I have two characters and the POV changes from one to the other every…[Read more]

Power replied to the topic Maps (creative title, I know) in the forum Fantasy 5 years ago
It takes a lot of work (I’ve spent probably more than 10 hours and am still not finished). I recommend that you draw out the general outline of your map (Mountains, Lands, Water, ect. but not woods) with pencils. Then scan it into a computer and work on the finer details (I use Paint 3D since I like being able to get down to the individual pixel).…[Read more]

This is difficult territory you tread… but if you were to jump in
and honestly I wouldn’t judge you jfoaewuiar;sdf yeI would suggest starting season one up until like, episode four, then jumping to the beginning of season three(imma rule breaker, I feel so dirty now). Season one and two were all over the place, season three was…[Read more] -

Just set up another Gmail account, and use it when you don’t people knowing your information. It will ask for your birthday and name, but just don’t put in you real birthday date and use an alias. It can come in handy when a store asks for your email, but you don’t want them flooding your inbox with advertisements.

OK. Let me tRy thIS AGaiN(I keep making same mistake and deleting my message, this is attempt number 3…4…?)
Lol, that’s fine. I only started liking Percy Jackson around the third or fifth book. I think I really enjoyed it because it was me, a little sheltered homeschooler, reading a book I chose to for myself.
So I…[Read more]

Anatra replied to the topic What's the harshest critique you've ever received about your writing? in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years ago
That’s pretty rough. But a good idea for honest critique…
So, my friend read a short story of mine once. You must understand, this friend was very nice and polite. But after reading my story she kinda cringed, looked at me, and said she’d get the edit back to me later. Yea, so a couple weeks later she hands me my book and it’s…[Read more]

Oooh, I like it. It makes me think and struggle to say what I think about my thoughts. Confusion is common in my mind.
I don’t have much critique on this subject. But, this makes me think you’d enjoy one of my favorite quotes tho.

did you say… Percy Jackson?
OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS
I love Percy Jackson. So, you’ve read the first series, yes, but have you read HoO? Or KC? Or MC? And, dare I ask, have you read *shutters* Trials of Apollo?
Heroes of Olympus and PJO have to be my favorites out of the whole thing. Despite the flaws, and the infamous Gary Sue…[Read more]

that’s cool! I didn’t know that abt the mbti.
Percy Jackson is great. The first few books and most of the HoO books are the best, I think. Magnus Chase and Kane Chronicles are pretty good, but weren’t enough for me to finish them, ig XD. The writing, the plot holes, the timelines, yea, they could be better, I’ll admit. Trials of…[Read more]

A rather belated response, to a rather belated introduction. (4 days… Perhaps not belated enough. Maybe I should wait a little longer to post this post, so it has more belatedness??) Greetings!

I was so particular about the things I read. I would only ever read fantasy, comic books, and I loved little stories like Aesop’s Fables. But it was only until I was like, twelve when I gave other books a chance.
I strongly disliked historical fiction, poetry, classics(with the exception of Laura Ingalls Wilder), especially…[Read more]
