Thanks, everyone!

My computer doesn’t like this forum for some reason, so it’s hard for me to respond to everyone individually. (My side, not your side. It glitches and stuff on my side :P)

Anyways, your advice has helped a lot!

I still can’t decide if I am a pantser or plotter.

I’ll probably share the full thing at some point, but the basic blurb is in a world where heroes walk the streets, the one man who doesn’t want to become a hero has the most powerful gift in the world.

Well now I want to know what his gift is. We love a story about an average joe who is involuntarily chosen to be a cosmic keystone or som…[Read more]

Secret-ish? Whaley, since when have any of your writing projects NOT been secret-ish?

I’m kinda the last person I would ask for…[Read more]

I really love this concept for Taylor’s powers. It reminds me of people in real life who dissociate or have maladaptive daydreaming which helps them with stress, but has the danger of separating them too far from themselves and reality. The description at the beginning was especially my favorite.

As far as grammar goes, I…[Read more]

I’m glad that brought you joy. I aspire to open writers’ eyes to new perspectives on their characters.

Moving on.

I tried adding that one guy, but he was too crazy and brain-hurt…ly…

My goodness, I think he got buried under the other rps. I’m so sorry. Ramen, right? We should figure out how to start an interaction with him. I have too many characters at the moment… but surely we can figure something out.

More likely than not, I sha…

On the contrary, I think the high-pressure social environment – combined with emotional stressors from home and learned stiff posture – would probably cause the opposite. Perhaps glute clenching.

when my brother was in an all boys group, he would repeatedly come back with wild stories, and everyone in the halls farting or at least making fart noises at each other is exactly the sorta thing they would’ve done lolllll

Also me: Hm. I’m thinking about adding another character.

I tried adding that one guy, but he was too crazy and brain-hurt…ly…

I do feel like Everett might be a better option… He’s weird, but he doesn’t bestow brain hurt, and I think he would fit in here better. More likely than not, I shall…[Read more]

NO STAHP. That image made it all worse for a moment ToT

Why must everything be so funny while eating copious amounts of sugar

You took me out. I got a notif for this in the middle of class during a break and I could not stop grinning for a while. Imagine that was canon and important enough for Ari to notice.

@beth-torres

*composes self* I am a mature woman.

Yes, yes, we’re all mature women here.

Students farted along the halls.

*insane laughter*

*composes self* I am a mature woman.

No. Nevermind. *more laughter*

Students farted along the halls.

I’m assuming you meant to type “darted”, but this is hilarious to me. It sounds like something my dad (a teacher) would say

Ok here’s what they’re walking into

Lois

Lois felt that he had checked every room in the castle by now, looking for that aggravating automaton. He had not, of course. The academy was very large, and there were plenty of private or restricted areas. But still, he was tired. He cradled a mug of black coffee he had gotten from…[Read more]

Literally, I have no idea where to start, so this is helpful.

No prob! What sort of stuff are you itching to find?

If you’re looking for advice, it helped me to find out my hair type (you can just look up “hair types” on Google) – there are some product-specific recommendations for each, I think.

That’s probably a good move. G…[Read more]

Wolfgang 

He jumped on the last sentence with a mix of delight and pride. “Our house has long stood for honor and we have fought to uphold it in all lands! Do you uphold honor as well?”

Thank you so much!

Yeaaaah I’m definitely going to have to come on here more often XD

Bryce

Bryce’s eyes locked on the tablet as he watched fascinating, swooping symbols form. A smile nearly tugged at him, but then he looked back at Tavar. “People have outlawed it? For what?” Perhaps the reason was simple, but somehow he imagined that it was…[Read more]

Let’s see if I can get a quick RP in before crashing or inventing insomnia for the millionth time.

I have no idea how coherent this will be.

Wilhelm

He looked back from the arming sword he had found. Wolfgang was glowing golden in the sunlight. His smile wreathed his face in pleasure at… what? His father’s…[Read more]

XD HAHAHA.

That is splendid.

I just loudly guffawed in my dorm room, forgetting my door was open. It is past sound curfew. I am not as sorry as I should be. XD

First off, here’s some applause for some impressive work you have already put into your writing! *applause*

I’d like to echo what Koshka just said. I’ve been where you are… ok, honestly, I feel like I am pretty much where you are but in a different boat. I have a series/epic saga that I love to pieces, but I finally realized that…[Read more]

Extra note. If the forums look slightly different, it’s partially because we moved some of the roleplays into a new “Roleplays” forum section.

Stuff like the Labyrinth and Royal rps are on there.

What’s the story idea? You always have the option to talk about it on here. 🙃 Throw a few ideas back and forth, post snippets. Even if it’s just a small thing.

I’ve started work on a secret-ish novella. Not really secret, I guess… Anyway. If you have any novella tips, since you’ve written one, throw them at me.

How have you been?

lol don’t worry about it! 😛

Not much. Thinking about a new story idea. That’s about it.

Thanks! I forgot about Frank Peritti!! I need to read his books.

yeah lol

I like Romance, Thrillers, Dystopian… basically anything but Western

@quicksilverwyvern

okay the summery:

I had the idea for a thriller. A man whose daughter is killed on her way home from school, then he (just a ordianry dad) goes on a path of revenge to hunt the killer down. Only to find himself caught up in a world of…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Wolfgang 

He let out a cheerful laugh. “Been to war! How do you think i am?! my papa went to war though, and he was a highly decorated hero before being honorably discharged for combat wounds. He fought in the Great War! I’ll go to war someday too I’m sure. If there are any wars,” he added with a grin.

oh yes! I forgot! I was going to RP and totally spaced it when I realized I hadn’t finished wedding programs. People could make memes about my life right now. 🤣

Awww, I love that!! That’s a short engagement though! (Which is completely fine, I’ve just never seen that before, so it’s really cool!) What do you have planned for the wedding?

Well, short engagements are pretty common where I’m from, though I think we set the record by a couple days! XD

we have getting married planned for the we…[Read more]

we are so taking over @writingwren‘s introduction page. 😂 I’ll answer in the ChatChat.

I’ve read like all those XD Except Brandon Mull. I’m more into YA. lol tysm tho!!!

@theducktator

oh i didn’t know that lol, the previous forum I was on people saw them on the new topics section lol

I also like politics lol

Who is your favorite

Who is your favorite obscure Bible character? Hmmm Ehud? (Or like Samazaya but he isn’t in the Bible, he’s in the book of Enoch.)

What is your favorite variety of pancake? …. Normal? idk lol I like to top pancakes with scrambled eggs and syrup.

Would you rather have an elephant…[Read more]

Ohhh, that makes sense. I didn’t realize you could do that. XD

haha, I know. It’s just weird anyways because she was one of the younger ones, and knowing how old she is makes me feel old. XD ]

@theducktator

Also, just out of curiosity, are you going to keep your name since you’ve published under it?

absolutely not! already in the process of updating copeywrites. In a few months at t…[Read more]

I’m having a similar problem. I love my projects but I flit from one to the next and no real progress gets made, so I don’t know how much help I’ll be. As far as clean Christian books go, I generally read classics and MG. I avoid YA and adult unless recommended by people I trust or written in the olden days. If you want…[Read more]

I like knowing where other folks come from and what they believe. It’s a topic that we seemed to steer clear of, yet has so much to do with who we are and why we do what we do. Perhaps, its because its so personal and close that we’re a little hesitant to open up to people.

Yes! It’s important to be able to discuss things like this. Whe…[Read more]

Moth

“We’ll find it. Come.” Moth put down his things and left by the archery range entrance, slowing to make sure he was being followed.

So I tend to drop the project a few chapters in, or I’ve tried plotting a project, only to find out it isn’t a story. And more of just “vibes.” I’ve never dropped a project in the middle, I just push past.

I used to read all the time, but I found myself reading bad romance books, I hadn’t meant to find. So it pretty much…[Read more]
