The only problem is, I’ll have to figure out where that belongs in Cole’s character arc, since the timing on that is a little uncertain. I’m planning for this to be a duology, so that might be a great idea for the second book. I’ll just have to spend some time figuring out when I want to repair their relationship.

Ah, so you want th…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Oh, this is unrelated, but by the way, how is Challenge 4 going? What are you planning to do for your senior thesis? (I saw you were sprinting to work on it.)

You’ve seen that already? I haven’t figured out how to make a slack account yet. 😂

4 is going well! Classmates have been a little emotional, though. The first day this year, one…[Read more]

I think for me, the most obvious way I can think of that one of my hobbies has bled into my writing life is my Boardgaming hobby. In my main WIP the political mastermind character is also a really big tabletop gamer and uses that as a metaphor for his political machinations.

*Splutter of laughter*

Fish person? How is Syph like a fish person, pray tell?

Syph

So he didn’t have to “get a girl”, whatever that meant. He turned to give Ellie a grateful smile before shifting narrowed eyes to the Rax Boy.

What was that supposed to mean? A good natured challenge, or a patronizing ‘let the Little…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Awesome!! Sorry I stopped tagging you, I didn’t know if you were still reading.

I’m sorry I didn’t read sooner. XD I seem to have the unfortunate tendency of promising my feedback on multiple manuscripts. Nevertheless, I am here.

Making the world relatable was one of my big focuses, because I didn’t want it to just be this unr…

@raxforge

Oh gracious. XD

What kind of trouble?

@loopylin @raxforge

Syph

He had to what? He blinked at Eddie. A dark blue flush crept up his neck. Water droplets appeared and disappeared in the air around him.

“Oh. Guppies. For a dance? But I don’t know of any other spritelings to pair with. It could take an indefinite amount of time to even find someone who wouldn’t be—oh tadpoles—…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Thank you girl! Yeah, basically. It’s a lot more than that though. Pretty much about a year ago, I realized I was never going to get better if I kept letting my parents take care of my health (my mom has been helping me with my health via vitamins and stuff she found online for about 5 years after multiple Doctors said I had no cure).…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Hey! Yeah, it has been a long time. I don’t come on here much unless summoned. Honestly I’m probably at the hardest point in my life rn so I’m doing pretty bad most days, but it feels like I’ve grown more in this year than my entire life somehow 😂

How are you?

@hybridlore

I read through everything so far!

This is looking great. I’m really impressed with your style. It’s so confident and… I don’t know how to phrase this. Occupied with the plot. There’s always something going on, and because of the realistic dialogue, I can really believe in the overall realism of the world.

I like how the world and…[Read more]

@esther-c

The P.S. is beautiful. It closes out the letter (and story) in a satisfying, simple end. In my opinion, very good.

@loopylin @raxforge

Syph

Ball room? He’s seen something, a large sign on his way to school. But now, that had said Ball Pit. Surely they weren’t the same thing. How was one supposed to dance in a ball room?

Wildly. He could do that.

“Tonight. Oi, that is agreeable.”

Although he’s have to find this Room of Balls too. The misty whisp tightened…[Read more]

@loopylin

That sounds like an insane amount of fun. XD

My experience is just jumping around the house to Celtic music with my siblings.

@whalekeeper

Aww, thank you! *He turns bright blue and bows*

The water Sprites dance is like what you’d get if you mixed ballet and Irish folk/cog dancing, with the added effects of water swirls following their every command. They move the water, and the water moves them.

@raxforge

Lolll, funny, but legit too

@koshka Sylph is very cute, by the way. I want to know how he dances.

I seriously need to update the foreign lit/etc. class, since it’s my character teaching the class. Posting this reminder for myself, so maybe I get it written tonight.

By the way, Syph has no problem dancing with girls. He just is trying to understand how it would work if you weren’t in competition.

I love historical clothing and culture, so I know know how clothing, and culture, and the rule of law change over the ages in my WIP world’s. I’m also a decentish seamstress. I may or may not have constructed my characters wardrobes in my head. Although…I don’t think I’ve really described them…so I don’t think that’s really influenced my…[Read more]
