Woohooo! Yay for Ev! At least they weren’t actual death experiences. 😅

Rina was captured by the Serpenree (a race based off of lizards) when she was very young, never knowing if her parents survived. She is a halfling, born of two races, the Arcanin (a bear-like race, each with their own kind of magic) and the Lupinari (a race based…[Read more]

@esther-c

Oooooh I love that! They definitely seem like a good match. Poor Ev ☹️

@esther-c

That’s awesome! ☺️

Yeah! 🙂

Almost all of my cousins are younger than me. I’ve only got a few who are either my age or older. He’s one of them who’s around my age. He’s crazy. 🤣

Haha, yeah I get that. I have a BUNCH of cousins, so there’s an even amount of ages.

XDXD But I have a Micah!! His name is Ryan tho. He’s so funny and crazy but…[Read more]

@esther-c Thanks! That scene wasn’t intended to become part of the story or something, it was just an example, but you can totally use it!

@esther-c

I would love to!

@esther-c

XDXD That’s hilarious!!

Actually, my cousins are sweethearts! The ones I actually interact with, anyway XD.   But I know how some can be lol.

@esther-c

Okay now I KNOW I like him XD. Especially the quote from Winston Churchill!

@esther-c

…..

It’s….

complicated…

@esther-c

Oh, Ireland would be cool, too!

We don’t have a lot of forests where I live. We’re kind of just surrounded by farmers’ fields, so I guess I’ll have to find somewhere that does. Oooh… What about a forest in the mountains? That would be perfect! 😄

Yes, Dune is very fun to write. No one really ever knows what he’s about to do &…[Read more]

Awwww, *sobs quietly*

@esther-c

Is that the group where I had Mayvee, Laylil and Everi? I think so but I’m not sure what happened to that group after Gwyn left XD

@esther-c I will say one thing tho I didn’t read all of the posts and such

For me I’m very character driven. My FAVORITE chapters are the ones of JUST characters interacting, things like that.

Honestly action chapters aren’t my favorites UNLESS a character gets injured (specifically one I like) BUT NOT KILLED XD or there is drama or fu…[Read more]

@esther-c

Ohhh, that makes more sense. Thanks for the clarification! I don’t remember what others have said right now but I know that slower/less action-y scenes can still be very important to show characters in, you just gotta balance how many of them you do with how many action-y ones you do, you know?

For example, although I haven’t written…[Read more]

@esther-c

It’s so nice to meet you!

I know I have some WIPs I want to go back to… They’re buried around here somewhere! 😅

Alright, now for your questions!

1. Any other country… Good question! I’m going to have to go with Israel, I think? Because I would get to see some of the places where Jesus walked!

2. My favorite part of nature would…[Read more]

@esther-c

The members who critique and the members who get their work critiqued are one and the same! When you are a part of the group, the only requirement is to edit one teammate’s work a month, but you can post as many or as few works of your own as you like to get critiqued.

So basically you and your teammates are critiquing each other’s…[Read more]

@esther-c yea Luna is with them too 😂 soooo XD

@esther-c If you’re bored writing a story, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad chapter. It might mean you’re getting tired of the project and need to work on another one for a little until you get new ideas! Or, if you think a scene is getting boring or useless for your charries/readers, insert some foreshadowing for what’ll come later.

Like let’s say…[Read more]

@esther-c

What do you mean by a ‘boring’ scene? Like one you didn’t enjoy writing, or where the characters are bored, or are you talking about a less action focused slower scene?

@esther-c

Great question! I agree with Arcane that it will be different for every one.

I personally would say it is true for me. The parts I find boring to write are boring to read, and I simply do not write them. I keep a mental checklist on my head of things I have not included that must be added soon (Say a charater backstory that has to be…[Read more]

@esther-c

Like I often respond to questions like this, is that it depends on you and the kind of story you want to tell. I agree it’s false to objectify all boring parts of a book as unnecessary. A blatant example of this is informational writing, like biographies or textbooks, if you skip through the boring parts, you’ll likely be losing crucial…[Read more]

@esther-c

Thanks for letting me know! I’ll get on the issue post-haste. 👍
