@emily I use Powerpoint, actually. XD It’s easier than Paint. 😛

@jessi-rae Well, not subspace, but it does have to do with lots of computery stuff. It is sci-fi. And wow, are pictures for sci-fi hard to find!

@winter-rose 😀 Thank you, Frodo! Unknown realms are hard realms. But fun realms. Me loves sci-fi, but the fantasy pictures are the…[Read more]

@catwing Thank you again! I found it on Pinterest, and it looks almost exactly like me!

@catwing Thank you!

Does this work?

How do you attach the pictures? @corissa-maiden-of-praise @jane-marie @salome01w4g

@mariposa @emily And all the other people. 😀

This one is for Lord Arihan, Ike’s father.

@emily Yeah, he’s the only actor so far that looks like Ike. XD

So up to now my book has remained a pretty big mystery. I haven’t really said anything as to names or plot or stuff. But here’s a collage for one of my MCs, Ike, in my WIP: SECTOR ONE: INSURRECTION.

*sits back, not tense and not…[Read more]

@that_writer_Girl_99 Wow…I’m sure what everyone else has said is good meats. Listen to them. Though I am curious as to what you will do in the end. Let me know, por favor.

@gh24682468999 Woah…nice long tag. 😛

Well…I’m not quite sure how to help you here–dialogue has usually been natural for me. I learned mostly by observation in reading. Some books have some really good dialogue, and somehow, when I was ten, managed to soak that up.

So I guess what I’m saying here is that definitely observing what other…[Read more]

Thank you @daeus and @that_writer_girl_99 ! I was rethinking it because I just read two amazing fantasy books where they were in 1st person, and it was epic! The characterization was so much better because you were inside Crisa’s/Mina’s mind, thinking their thoughts. And I write in first-person most of the time anyway, so I might be better at it.

Sweet! I love names myself, @dragon-snapper. And I have one, big fat tip for you:

DO NOT EVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE Z’S OR X’S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read a book recently where almost half of the “fantasy words” had X’s or Z’s in them, and it was painful. (On the strain of the “fantasy words”, do not use too many!!! That book did that…[Read more]

I probably should have figured this out by now, (what with being 6 pages in and all) but I am having second thoughts about my perspective choice. I have been writing third person, but I think it would be better as first person. Does anyone have any thoughts?

You know you’re a writer when….
If your characters knew what kind of trouble you were planning for them, they would move to someone else’s WIP and be a flat, unimportant villager with no purpose whatsoever.

This doesn’t have to do with being a writer, but the problems I have as a writer when I have a writer fail moment.
ME: What color hair does this character have?
SIBLING: I don’t know. Depending on the scene, it varies from black to blonde.

XD I’ve never had a character who can change hair color from scene to scene.

@epicaddie2 Byeeeeeeeeeee!! XD
