@jenwriter17 I love manga style! 😀 I like drawing in it, but it can be rather challenging.

Here’s an example of my most recent attempt at the manga/anime style. 🙂

@dekreel Yay! Yeah proportions are a struggle for me. when i look back at some of my drawings, i laugh and cringe at the same time.

hmm…..you want to see some manga, you say……don’t expect too much. I’ll try to post a picture or two soon. I took pictures of my drawings on my tablet, but for some reason moving pics from there to my laptop…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  For good measure…….

I drew this one (below) for a character Xchange:

And finally, one of my absolute favorite villains of all time…

I do have better examples, I just happen to not have pictures of them 😛

@itisastarrynight Well, of course you don’t wanna info dump, but try to weave in parts throughout the story. Maybe just hint at what happened to your MC’s past that’s making him hurt.

I think it’s realistic to be affected like this after someone close to you has died. You never forget them. They visit your thoughts still every so often. Accepting…[Read more]

@dekreel I haven’t really tried manga before.  The one time I tried it, he kind of looked like a Roman monkey….

I like mine to be the most necessary lines and nothing more. Like this:

I drew that for the Leumeister a while back.

@livgiordano Here’s the link! I hope this will answer some questions for you. I’m sorry it took me so long to get it to you…

I hope the link works. Lemme know if it doesn’t.

@jenwriter17  YES I LOVE DRAWING MANGA STYLE!!!!!!

I’m still learning proportions and stuff, but I really enjoy it!! 😀

Other artists: @catwing  @dragon-snapper  @sage-g  @ingridrd  @my-mind-is-blank…

I don’t know if they draw manga style but……..

Well, I do anyway 🙂

Can I see some of your manga? 😀

@waterlily I would definitely read this! It sounds interesting.

Btw, I’m a beta reader ready for hire (if you need me, that is) 😊 I promise to give you virtual chocolate, pizza, and oreos! No need to thank me….😜

@skredder I really like the idea! I read the beginning you posted too.👍 Garrett is actually my brother’s name, so, therefore, I like it. 😉

@gh24682468999

Hehe, I always copy/paste your tag…..

You might already have plenty of responses from others, but I think Pic Monkey and iStock Photos have free pictures.

@pickupyourpenandwrite Welcome!!! YOU’RE IN ENGLAND?! I want to go there soooooo bad! Do you like soccer (or I guess you might call it football)? If so, do you follow a team/club? What are your favorite books? Fave genres? Do you have any pets?

Sorry for the showering of questions 😊

@sam-kowal yeah, it’s really cool! Last time I saw him was when my family went to a Christmas eve service. I told him that I just finished reading his book, I really enjoyed it, and that I was a writer too. He even told me that he would critique the first chapter of my next novel!!! I had to hold in my squeal until I got into the car.

He actually…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Oh my goodness I love what you did to Daeus’ pic!

You know you are a writer when you hear a song and go, “Oh! That would go perfect in that one scene I am working on!” This happens to me So. Many. Times.

You know you’re a writer when you start editing the book you’re reading.

You know you’re a writer when you see a stranger, decide they look exactly like one of your characters, and feel comp…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Ooh boy. Pen names? Welllll…

To get ideas you could always find a name from one of your stories–whether obscure or not.
I don’t think you need your pen name to be completely random either. I mean, if you want it to be, by all means let it be. XD However, I think your name could have more significance if it had some attatchment…[Read more]

@dekreel Oh, sorry, I think I misunderstood. I actually do most of my reading in the car on the way to places, and the other reading I do near the laptop is school reading. Would school reading count too?

@epicaddie2  I can’t believe I didn’t see the Beast until now!! I saw the Catwing, but not the beast! *smacks head*

Huh! O-O

That’s pretty accurate, actually. And, I must say, pretty good!

@seekjustice Yes, this is helpful! Been brainstorming pen names. I like the first name Evelyn, but I usually like shorter names. Any ideas?

Also, if anyone else has any short pen name ideas, it would be appreciated 😉@mariposa @seekjustice @jane-maree @dragon-snapper @audrey-caylin
