@daisy-torres

To be honest, I wasn’t too sure about the sound of that cookie recipe either. I just didn’t say anything to be nice. Let me know when you think of a new recipe to bring to the party. And maybe test it first this time?

Oh yeah, keep that cheesy joke in the bag. Keep it secret. Keep it safe.

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin *shoves cookies in mouth* *gross face* Eeeww. That was an untested recipe. I definitely need a new one. Potato chip cookies with pool chlorine algae isn’t the best….

*Pulls out my trusty never-before-used confetti vacuum-upper and sticks the cheesy joke back in my bag*

Thanks!!

Okay everybody, that was a great practice round. Put away all your foods and gifts and sweep up the confetti.  We can’t exactly all come out and yell “SURPRISE” when they haven’t even walked into the room yet sooooooooo. Remember, I said the next HUMAN to join the…[Read more]

I’m glad you think so.

@joy-caroline

I look at words that kinda remind me or have to do with the town and mix them, change them, look at them in other languages and switch words around (and adding ‘ makes it sound more fantasy-ish 😂)

for instance, one of my kingdoms’ main things is it’s giant garden (kinda a representation of Eden in a way) so I called it A’Gre…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Heeeyyy! Wait, are you writing a fantasy?  Let’s go Joy! ;P

Well, let’s see…  When I come up with place names, I like to use fantasy name generators.  I don’t always use exactly what they generate, but it gives me a jumping off point to create and combine different styles according to each of the worlds’ traditions.  Som…[Read more]

I have a pen name for privacy reasons only, although I’ll probably change it to my real name if/when I publish.  I’m all for pen names, though–they’re fun and creative and can draw a reader in just like your cover and title can (in a way).  If you want to, I think it would be fun for you to come up with one.  That may just be me…[Read more]

@gracie-j yee I win!! jk jk XD

@writerlexi1216

Weeeell, I’ve never admitted this before, but Daisy Torres is not my real name, so–I guess that speaks for my stance XD I wanted the anonymity while still being able to write and stuff haha.

As a reader, I remember writers’ names more when I see a first and last name (Alexa Williams) than when I see initials and a last name. So…[Read more]

@ariel-f I remember one of my favorite manga artists saying that if the story he’s writing doesn’t surprise him, then he stops writing it. And I am always surprised and astounded by his work. Truly wise words.

To be honest, I struggle with this a lot. I honestly really dislike the characters I made back when I started writing (well, not dislike,…[Read more]

@sparksaraabbottt11 They’ll figure it out eventually XD I had a hard time finding things when I first joined.

To find new members, go to Forums. At the bottom of Forums says “Welcome New Member: member’sname” and it gives some extra info like who all is online rn, and what the most amount of members online at once was.

If you have any more…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Ooh, I really like A.M. Williams. It does feel similar to L.M. Montgomery, which is also an elegant-sounding name. Alexa Williams sounds pretty too, though. In the end, I think it’s up to you and what you like best. I don’t know if the pen name would really matter unless you had already published a bunch of stories in a genre that…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin Curse these tags.

@writerlexi1216 I believe in using a pen name, as I am right now. I just do it for privacy reasons, as this name is still as hard to pronounce as my previous name. (Not me never saying this name out loud, haha….)

Anyways, I think that A.M. Williams sounds really cool and elegant! A.M. reminds me of the morning.

@lewilliams Haha, better late than never!😜

Yep, the setting is Biltmore Estate. It’s a really good book! You should totally read it!!! 😉

I’m afraid I agree with @devastate-lasting…..

But yes, if you haven’t been scared off yet, welcome, @ariahd! It’s very wonderful to have a new member! If you need anything/help figuring out the forums, we’d all love to be of service! Also, if you would like a free character art, I would love to draw one for you! I paint, draw, and do digital…[Read more]

@nova21 Hmm, experimenting with themes is fairly new to me actually XD I didn’t used to include them, I just told my story. Recently however, I’ve found myself trying to include themes of forgiveness, empathy, mental/physical healing from harmful events, and repairing broken relationships (especially when it comes to family). If I think of more…[Read more]

@keilah-h Ahh I haven’t gotten very deep into the Tron franchise yet but Tron: Legacy is my favorite favorite movie and will always hold a special place in my heart. You draw really well, by the way!

@keilah-h Is this from Tron
