Anatra replied to the topic Have you ever pantsed a novel? in the forum Plotting 5 years, 1 month ago
Okay, so I was originally gonna say I pants things, but then as I thought abt it, I realized that I legit plan nearly everything in my life. As I’m falling asleep at night, I usually dream abt two things. One, fiction, and two, the upcoming day and the events in it.
I find myself sympathizing with seekjustice and morgan on this…[Read more]

Anatra replied to the topic Writing a conflicted character while getting readers to root for her? in the forum Characters 5 years, 1 month ago
So what I’m catching here is that you want readers to sympathize with this Keziah. She’s a good person at heart, but is conflicted with the anger and grief that Paul has caused her. If this is what you’re going for, maybe try adding a clip of her, say, helping the needy(I understand there were quite a few of these back in Paul’s…[Read more]

Anatra replied to the topic Have you ever fallen out of love with writing? in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years, 1 month ago
This is a good question. So I find that I fall out of writing or lose my love for it when my life seems to be going well. Or, I should say, when my emotions are in check. My love for writing has come to depend on my emotions, and the emotions of my family. I was in a dark place two years ago, and so was my family. We were all…[Read more]

Hullo and welcome!
You like to draw? Cool. I love to paint, but sketching kind of intimidates me. What kinds of things do you draw? And if I may ask, where’d you get the idea for your ping name?

Hullo!
I am also quite a fan of fantasy and medieval books. Have you ever read the Ranger’s Apprentice by John Flanagan by chance? It’s defiantly top tier and fits the book description you were addressing.
Happy you’re here!

Anatra replied to the topic What are the 1st three things your MC says? in the forum Characters 5 years, 2 months ago
@nova21 I like this idea.
My MC ain’t the most exiting character, but here are her first out of context lines.
“Isn’t there a meet today?”
*action of eye rolling* “you’re a terrible liar.”
“No, please. You know I don’t like those.”
Lol it sounds so strange out of context considering her character in the book.
Omgoodness…[Read more]

Anatra replied to the topic Hi guys in the forum Start HERE 5 years, 2 months ago
If you want reading suggestions, I know plenty of good books. Into whimsical humor? Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Historical growth and women’s rights? Little Women. (I don’t really know what you’re interested in other than fiction and historical, so forgive any blubbering on my part.)
Maybe you’d like Crown of Feathers by Nicki…[Read more]

Anatra replied to the topic How do you continue a character arc in a series? in the forum Plotting 5 years, 2 months ago
Maybe during the course of the series there could be a goal he’s striving to achieve. I know it’s getting home, but will the getting home stretch over the whole thing, or just one book? If it’s a single book, then maybe give him a larger goal, like to find the meaning of what it’s like to know you’re loved, but make it a development that…[Read more]

Anatra replied to the topic Hi guys in the forum Start HERE 5 years, 2 months ago
Hullo! Welcome! I’m Anatra, and I love writing fantasy and reading nearly everything fiction.
Random question, have you heard of or seen the Marvel Cinematic Universe? If you have, more randomly, which Spider-Man is your favorite? Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, or Toby Maguire?
Your WIP sounds interesting, and I can’t wait to hear…[Read more]

@scoutfinch180 if I may, I simply glanced at KP for a moment, but now after reading this, I want more of its kind.
I love this captivating little tale. Criticism I don’t have much of here, it was pretty compact, perhaps a little less scene description if you’re really trying to shave it down further. Maybe explore more of the curiosity that the…[Read more]
