@kate-flournoy Haha! I’m a mind reader too now. 😀

@bethanysinkyroses First, I think the Yellowstone setting could work. As far as the plot goes, my suggestion would be to make it a “back and forth” plot. What I mean is, have two distinct spheres for your story: one, the sphere of the MC’s interaction with her mother; the other, the sphere of…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya @kate-flournoy @daeus You guys are the best. Thanks. I really needed some brutally honest feedback.
Okay, I was definitely wondering about the genre-mixing. I’ll see what I can do about real animals with intelligent-seeming attacks. (Daeus, I find it creepy that you almost nailed my original idea to a T. Like even that scene you…[Read more]

She can be a stereotype on the outside without being one on the inside. If she isn’t a POV character, maybe she could have someone she can confide in.

@bethanysinkyroses I’d agree with what Mark and Kate said. You’ve got a setting, but you don’t have any sort of plot. Predicaments alone are very boring. The predicaments need to build on each other. The outcome of one should lead to another, gradually making things worse and worse.

I also agree that clashing fantasy and slice of life isn’t a…[Read more]

@bethanysinkyroses that would be @sierra-r and I have forgotten Cindy’s as well. 😛

The first thing that strikes me as I read your summary here is that you’ve focused a lot on symbolism.
That’s a good thing. But it can also be a hindrance. In my experience, when I focus too much on the symbolism of a thing, it comes out one-dimensional as only…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm no character is ever cliche if they are approached as a person with a logical reason for being who and where they are in life. It sounds like this woman has a very good reason for being ‘strong’.

At the same time, I think ‘strong woman’ is frequently misunderstood or misinterpreted. A strong woman is not a masculine woman. A…[Read more]

¡Hola @radically-surrendered!

Mexico! I learnt a little bit of Spanish a few years back. Not much though. No hablo de Español.

I love the O’Malley Chronicles though i haven’t read them in ages. I’m generally more into fantasy these days.

I’m also a fellow homeschooling and city loathing, country girl. And I’m another Australian.

Anyone know Sierra’s and Cindy’s tags? I thought I knew them but obviously not.

@winter-rose I blame @xonos-darkgrate‘s profile pic. XD

@emily Yeah, I do. 🙂 I like trying to draw (key-word “trying”) and painting.

Welcome to the site @radically-surrendered! Glad you were able to pull yourself enough away from social media to join us. 😉 Have you written any longer works in the past, or will this pirate story be your first?

@emily
I turned 15 in August. 🙂

Hey, everybody! These are two drawings I did a little while back. 🙂 Not very good, but ah, well. I try.

Hi, @radically-surrendered 😀

What’s it like in Mexico? I think you’re our first ISTJ ever.

@emily
Neat. 🙂 How old are you?

Hey, @radically-surrendered (that’s an awesome tag, by the way.) Welcome to the bestistiest place on the internet! I love chocolate, ice cream, and riding as well! Wow, you’re story idea sounds intriguing. Where are you from?

@emily
That would be such an interesting job!

@salome01w4g yikes. D: I’m glad everything worked out.
