I’m going to try and look at all of this when possible.

@esther-c

The only place I rant about my characters or my writing is really on here or any other writing community.

I do tend to share a lot of mine with my siblings, but other than them, and here, no one gets to know about it.

I’m sorry for replying to everyone and possibly being annoying, but you all are making sense of something I wasn’t able to make sense of myself…..

so yeah that’s a thing.

@linus-smallprint Measuring how long one arm is and using that as a baseline for the other one helps me. Also, the arms tend to end toward the bottom of the hip, with the hands extending a little farther than that.

@linus-smallprint

Thanks for the extra ideas. I bet I can make a list of things to focus on with line thickness.

Nice drawing!! I always like how dedicated you are with the textures, such as the wood and brick floor. that takes more patience than I have at this time.
I agree with Keilah on both those points. Another thing – Alan’s left arm might…[Read more]

but having parents read my cringey emotional or romantic scenes…*shudders*

YES. THIS.

@savannah_grace2009

This is sooo good! Your writing is so beautiful.

I never show my parents anything other than funny short stories. I don’t think they’d dislike it or not approve…but having parents read my cringey emotional or romantic scenes…*shudders*

@esther-c

Tbh, I don’t share my writing with my parents until it’s in a final or almost final draft stage. The only place I rant about my characters or my writing is really on here or any other writing community. My family knows I write, and I actually used to share a lot of it with my siblings, but now I like giving them the best, not nec…

Oh, definitely. I was just curious about the rights of Canada’s government compared to ours. They seem to be very close.

I want to use was and were less. I’ve noticed this mostly in my essays. I’ll write sentences like he was, or this was, and in my last essay I eliminated a lot of those, and it sounded a lot better.

I want to get better at worldbuilding. That’s something that always gets neglected in my stories. I generally just make stuff up as I go along, but…[Read more]

And I’m sure that won’t be the case, but there’s a TON of stuff I’d have to explain before I gave them, say, the 215-page fanfic I finished last year, and I don’t really feel like I want to have to do that.

@savannah_grace2009

It is still hard to not feel left out when we start talking on KP and some girls have parents who edit their book, or are in love with every part of it. I’ve just never had that.

If it helps, I rarely share my writing with my parents anymore.

After Hunterclone Run, which was a disaster that we do not talk about, I started…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

 If one of the guys’ minds went in the same direction as mine and said something like ‘Yes, mom’ to Julian.

lol

also, you’re welcome!

@linus-smallprint I don’t think the horse is too small; horses vary greatly in size. If you really think it looks wrong, you can increase the size.

Alan’s arms look fine, but there is something a little off about Martha’s. I’m not sure exactly what though. I think the one holding the apple is longer than the one holding the broom by her side.…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint awww! He’s so cute! You captured him near perfectly!!

@linus-smallprint

Ha!

That’s kind of funny, but Julian would KILL anyone who did that to him.

Plus it seems a little cliched.

BUT, it was funny. XD

@linus-smallprint

Got it.

@linus-smallprint

Okay, I’ll fix that. He was supposed to be joking. If he was joking would it work?

Sorry. Sometimes, I shy away from commitment and speak with uncertainty (that’s one of the ways my character, Eric, is like me). Maybe waiting until they are published would be a good idea, but yes, I will let you use them as a r…

@linus-smallprint

Yeah… 😅

That’s really interesting. Crazy to realize that this really isn’t too far off from what is happening in real life today.

In Canada, do you have the same guaranteed rights as in the US’s Constitution? I’m assuming it’s very similar. Freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc.?

Oh yeah, there…[Read more]
