@epicaddie2 Yep. I would also direct you here: https://kingdompen.org/category/articles/worldbuilding/

@epicaddie2 I’m working through this myself at the moment, but I do have one or two things to say.

First, you want to develop your world well before you start writing. Sure, you should only spend so much time building your story world. You have to start eventually, but spending a whole month world building would not be unreasonable. A good…[Read more]

@Ingridrd millions.

Okay, maybe not millions… ;P But practically every piece of music I hear reminds me of something or someone somewhere. This is one of my favorites, for the brother (king) of my current MC.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 😂 😂 😂

@That_Writer_Girl_99 a girl after my own heart. 😉

@That_Writer_Girl_99 good thoughts. I played around a lot with government and where it fits in, but it was so equally part of all four of the pillars I couldn’t bring myself to make it its own separate one. 😛
It’s probably the most perfect manifestation of a country’s EiL within itself, whereas Economy is a further exploration of that outside of…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Ooooh I was talking about this a while back… let me go copy and paste my emails… XD

@jadamae Great! Just contact me through the link I posted earlier and I’ll get it to you.

@salome01w4g The google doc would be fine.

@perfectfifths Great. That’s a very good discipline to have. If you want to sign up, just contact me through the link I provided earlier on in this thread.

@jess-penrose That would be great. Yep, basically what you did before.

@salome01w4g Sure, you can read it on your kindle.

@salome01w4g Great! You can contact me here and then I’ll send you the doc.

@dekreel Oh, yes. I’ve read the Wingfeather saga. 🙂 I guess it does look like a fang, only more foxish.

@graciegirl Yes. Just pointing out anything that could be improved.

Hi, @dekreel 😀

Is your profile picture from anything in particular? It reminds me of a Redwall character.

Greetings back atcha, @Dekreel! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet. 😀 Cool! What poem was that?
What genre do you write? What’s your favorite book, if you can choose one? What kind of music do you like?

@jess What Kate said. Basically, either the loss your character experiences needs to be necessary for them to become a better person or the ending is just plain tragic, but a side character learns something valuable from it and the readers are left with a lot of hope for that side character.

@Jess lovely topic. I have a lot of thoughts on unhappy endings, but I haven’t got time to consolidate them all now, so I’ll just leave you with the biggest two.
