I’m sorry y’all. I’ll try to stay on track this time.
Mila means ‘beloved, gracious’, and in some translations ‘precious’.
Even though that isn’t her name’s proper spelling, it is fitting for her relationship with her father, as his favorite child. 🙂

@koshka that honestly reads like it could be a death scene, even tho it’s from first person pov! And it is so gripping!!

@koshka I do not know. (Tho the correct spelling is Milla (two l’s)) What is it?

EmilySF replied to the topic MAJOR WIP SPOILER FORUM!!!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 4 months ago
There’s so much to one of my stories (HofE), especially so much I’m unsure about, that I can’t present the twists as they deserve.
The biggest twist in my FP,WS story is that the mentor dies at the end (which I hope will be surprising, but still mostly unexpected).
Other than that, I’ll have to get back to you on the HofE twists, once I’ve…[Read more]

Although she doesn’t have real DID, Shallan Davar from the Stormlight Archives has at least three personalities, and might help with the having personalities aspect of DID.
Other than that, I don’t have much advice. I’ve never been someone to relate a whole lot to DID because it’s not something I have nor do I often imagine myself as a different…[Read more]

sorry, been a busy and mostly only had time for reading, reading, and more reading.
I don’t think I have any questions, but I do maybe have some advice for your question.
Could you have Brenven be an energetic, fiery child and there’s some sort of prophecy or promise woven around him that she finds out, and due to those two…[Read more]

@kathleenraumm
I honestly could say everything and anything, but often I prefer to use different ways of looking at the world as inspiration, though that’s not always the case. Once I worldbuilded simply from the desire to have magic in the story and there are four kids with it and the king’s family, and then I dove into why only they had mag…[Read more]

No need to apologize! I understand that urge and need. Every writer has it at some point. 😉

EmilySF replied to the topic What do you love most about your current WIP? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 4 months ago
The worldbuilding and the characters.
I have found that one of my favorite things about writing is the worldbuilding (which explains why I enjoy writing fantasy so much). Plus, the worldbuilding of this particular project I’m especially proud of. It’s pretty simple, compared to many, but it’s still complex and developing. And I love it.
I am al…[Read more]

EmilySF replied to the topic THE WORLDBUILDING THREAD in the forum Fantasy 2 years, 4 months ago
What sort of underwater things can you imagine? What is the government system for the fish and sharks? Do fish have to hide from their predators, like sharks, still? How do they manage that? Does that affect travel and commerce? Is there much trading between the different places and groups? Is there magic of some sort that protects…[Read more]

EmilySF replied to the topic How to make a side character more interesting? in the forum Characters 2 years, 4 months ago
Well, @joy-caroline, your side character is a human too.
What is something he wants? What is his desire in life? Will he be focusing on a having it while helping out his friend, or will helping his friend be his entire focus for the duration of the story, like Sam in The Lord of the Rings? Why are the two friends? What caused them to become…[Read more]

EmilySF replied to the topic Favorite Scenes In Our WIPs! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 4 months ago
This one’s not a complete scene, or a proper one, because it is all dialogue, but I still like it a lot (despite the fact that it is a less than perfect rewrite of the original that I lost due to
shockingtechnology, and is but half the perfection compared to the absolutely satisfactory original).[A little context: Hager is the antagonist of the…[Read more]

EmilySF replied to the topic I technically count as new in the forum Start HERE 2 years, 5 months ago
What is your favorite book of the Bible and why?
Probably the Gospel of St. John, because his is easy to read and I enjoy it, and it is read during important liturgical events, no matter what year it is. (The Mass includes readings from either of the other three Gospels (Matthew, Mark, or Luke) depending on whether the liturgical year is A, B, or…[Read more]

Zoe
Zoe ran, as quick as her feet would carry her, tears streaming from her face. She had done it all wrong and now Corvina hated her! She’d sent her away! Corvina wouldn’t protect her now! Malcolm could get her.
Zoe screamed, panic erasing her tears, clearing her eyes so she no longer ran blindly. Her body shifted as her m…[Read more]

Milla
“Wait! For just a moment, wait.”
The girl leapt forward and grabbed her hand, not necessarily keeping her from going, but Milla stopped anyway. Perhaps they knew the others well enough to prevent a fight. Though, they had run from the…[Read more]

@koshka, so, yeah… I didn’t really explain that, heh. Bust itself is a place I made up that’s like a world between worlds where visitors come from any point in their story you/I want, and when they leave, everything they experienced is erased completely and they return like they’ve never left.
The Council of Bust is me, quite basically, split…[Read more]

@keilah-h I guess she could be, yeah, if she was from your world! Which would be cool. 🙂 She’s really just Daredevil’s daughter, and so you can understand her powers if you look up his, then extend the radius of her hearing and radar to include the entire world, and not a few city blocks. 🙂

EmilySF replied to the topic Character Castle! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
Generally, the way this works is: it’s a castle ( @elishavet-pigyon ‘s) that shifts and twists to be whatever it wants to be, and each person has a character or more and they enter the castle any-how you want, and meet up with the other characters and interact with them, and is a way to explore your character and learn mor…[Read more]
