@ryanna Show don’t tell is important, as always. Like, you don’t want to say, “Things were looking very bad for my plan.” Instead, you might focus on the downcast faces of the fellow conspirators. Or, you could do something subtle like this with the internal monologue: “I could be very optimistic at times, but surely this plan had to work. Not…[Read more]

@Daughteroftheking ooh, that’s wacky, but I like it! Great points already so far… I’ll just add that it might not be such a bad thing for the reader to think Rori’s a little off her rocker. As @Catwing said, it gives a curiosity factor.
But if your concern is believe-ability and the reader taking your story as a story seriously, I’m afraid…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking Well, that’s weird, but it’s also cool.

Could you write a scene from these killer plants’ POV?
Could some small animal be left in a room of plants and then when we come back to the room the animal is dead with signs of violence?
Could you describe a setting from the omniscient POV where there are these killer plants around and…[Read more]

@joy I like it. Actually, to some degree that happened. Not white servitude, but the south felt mistreated after the war and there was a good deal of unrest during reconstruction. It could be good stuff to get ideas for your novel from.

Anyway, I would totally be for keeping this story in the real world. However, since you don’t want history…[Read more]

@Joy oooh… what I like about that is it has a ton of thematic potential. I’m not quite sure about the revisionism, from a historical standpoint, and if it was me I would probably create a fantasy or scifi world and then do the story with obvious parallels to the Civil War, but there are a lot of writers that can pull off things I’d be scared to…[Read more]

Probably people getting stabbed where there is no visible weapon. A cleared around the invisible soldier. People could hear the invisible guy.

@dragon-watcher With what?

@That_Writer_Girl_99 sure! I’m doing some other stuff so my attention might be a little scattered, but why not. This’ll be my only chance for a while. Which doc?

@Dragon-Watcher hey! I like the Piano Guys too. Their two favorites of mine are Winter Wind and Arwen’s Vigil, though I also really love Holding On. What about you?

@Dragon-Watcher heyyyy! Another dragon! Or… *gasp* Are you a dragon hunter??? Do you watch them to hunt them??? *hides behind wings and blinks at you with frightened reptilian eyes* Please. I’m harmless.

*coughs* Hello. Is it safe to assume you write fantasy? So do I. I think the majority of KeePers do, so you’re in good company. 😉 What are…[Read more]

Hi, @dragon-watcher. Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

By the way, your name sounds a lot like another girl’s on here: @dragon-snapper. I think she’s 14 too.

Why don’t you tell us what you’re writing now?

@Daeus okay. Thanks. 😀 *writes it down on her list*

@kate-flournoy You can have it actually. Not wanting to be a hero is something I’d have a hard time fully understanding. It would be tough for me to write.

@Daeus drat. If you didn’t like that one I was gonna do it. ;P

@kate-flournoy Hmm. I’ll think more about that last one. I like all of them, but that one seems like it might fit well with a short story.

@Daeus not sure if you meant plot dilemmas or thematic dilemmas so I’m just gonna go with thematic.
Let’s see… kid who takes care of their famous parent who’s actually a horribly messed up, broken person, and the kid has to struggle with responsibility and resentment.

@salome01w4g Yeah, EB is similar to TCOMC in a lot of ways, though the overall story is definitely different.
