EXACTLY. XD I even started a language simply so I could have it on signs in the illustrations. Like, no one speaks it in the story, but it’s there??? It did help me figure out the social hierarchy though, since I had all these neat names and no names to put them to.

HOWEVER. I am rather proud of the Dorwain’s pagan religion, as dark…[Read more]

*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?”

And then what if… if theresafoodcalledshoemashandyoudon’tknowwhybutyoumadeitupanditsoundsdelicousandnowyouhavetothinkofareasonbecauseyourfamlythinksit’snastysoundingso-

It’s porridge, but the “everything but the kitchen sink kind” and is delicous.

@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*

@keilah-h

I’ve always said your name Keilah /hay-tch/, lol

@keilah-h

Yep! North Atlantic or New England accent. Though everyone here says /h/ as /ay-tch/ instead of /hay-tch/ and it drives me insane.

@theducktator

You have ceased to be French.

…I’m Australian… so I don’t understand very much of what you’re saying

Also, if any of you think that I have an Aussie accent, know that your dreams have been crushed.

@keilah-h

Especially Sniper’s and Demo’s, which I’ll show later if you want.

I’m intrigued

Also, I respect your bravery to post old drawings. I tried to do that once…and I backed out before pushing the “submit” button

@keilah-h

Great! Perfect!

I’ll see what I can do.

I often draw in the evenings while hanging out with my big brother, and all I can think about rn is what he’s gonna say when he sees what I’m drawing, and now I’m gonna explain myself lol

@theducktator

Mine too (though I think Oathbringer has the coolest climax ever)

@theducktator

It’s not that I don’t like Kaladin, it’s just that sometimes he annoys me.

Ah, ok. That’s actually a good idea, I only read the rest of the series last year but I forgot a lot of stuff already lol.

Which book is your favorite?

@theducktator

Eh, I kinda might agree with your brother 🫣 not completely, but I think he has a point. While I think Kaladin does have some good development at some points in the series, a lot of the time I feel he’s just a bit too extreme.

Sorry.

Have you read Wind and Truth  yet? (if you have no spoilers cuz I’m only on day five)

@keilah-h

and a weird amount of bread

Why do I have a suspicious feeling that Soldier is involved?

Let me guess, he’s teleporting bread to create bread monsters?

Lol, that was one of the best moments ever.

I’m dead rn for what I want to draw so I’ll give it a shot drawing the scene. No promises that you’ll like it, I’m bad at wings, and at…[Read more]

And most of that you probably already knew, but there it is. You said “character arcs” and I got excited. XD Sorry.

@trailblazer

First off, that story sounds incredibly intriguing. Not your average story, and maybe one that you can use to deal with things most people deal with, but don’t talk about.

For developing character arcs, I would suggest you 1. Find a message, 2. Find a flaw that corresponds and fits the character uniquely 3. Determine what the…[Read more]

@koshka
Yes, that is me. 100%

@raxforge @jonas @loopylin

Baron (Brutus)—Ben Gunn, Flare, Ellis, trying to find Fel and Brea (I think I got that right)

Brutus hesitated in following the others. The soldiers were terrified of these creatures. He held his scarf up over his nose and mouth. His eyes followed the disappearing forms of his companions. He could use his wind to…[Read more]

Could you give me some more description on these teens?

@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…”
