I just don’t like how they’re treated as more important/impactful than other stories.

Exactly

@loopylin

I’m honestly a bit tired of dark stuff and stories that “deal with hard themes”.

I’m always a little annoyed when people say we need more writers dealing with darkness in their stories. Literally 90% of the WIPs I’ve heard about have dark themes like PTSD and abuse, and a lot of published books are the same.

I write dark themes so I don…[Read more]

It does feel kinda like it at times…I’m actually working this whimsy story of fairies, libraries, and evil people eating woods right now that I haven’t introduced here because…*shrugs*

Ma’am. Please introduce your story in more detail. I am currently working on a whimsy story of fairies, cozy homes, and evil people-eating rabbits. We have…[Read more]

@loopylin @koshka

Yessss, I want silliness and whimsy! Do you have book recommendations???

@elishavet-pidyon

AWWWWW!!!!

okay who’s turn is it?

@koshka

@loopylin

I said “likely” (except auto correct said “Lily” Likely IS a word.)

anyways.

but have you all actually been trained to fight with them? 😂

@loopylin

Alrighty! XD And no time pressure. I need to focus on getting a first draft right now anyway, so I’m not asking for scheduled edits or anything. Lol.

Just tried to sort out a title for myself and lapsed into a poetic paragraph reflecting on my self-perceptions. What utter rot. XD I’m not so nice as I think myself. What an uncomfortable, shivery feeling that is.

I am chaos. I am quiet. An echo of sorts. I am that feeling you get when you sneak gummy worms into your dormmate’s sleeping bag. I am…

That would be awesome! Idk when I’ll have time to read it exactly, but I will

@loopylin

I’m honestly a bit tired of dark stuff and stories that “deal with hard themes”. We need more silliness and whimsy. The real world is full of it. Maybe we should reflect it more in our writing.

A hundred and ten percent agree. We need more whimsy and light.

@loopylin

Ahhh, me too oOoOO… fairies…..

I was actually just thinking about getting someone to read over the first chapter and prologue and give me feedback. I know it’s got spots that sort of dragged, but I literally just finished that chapter a few minutes ago and so I didn’t want to look at it myself. (Actually trying a new writing habit…[Read more]

@koshka

That sounds absolutely wonderful. I love whimsy. And fairies. Loving fairies was like my whole personality the first two thirds of my life. Please do share if you feel up to it.

@loopylin

Hmm. Welp, I do write poetry, if it can be called that.

Also I have no idea what age group my stories are for when I’m writing them, but I definitely have a few that feel like children’s books so you are not alone :] I don’t have very many externally dark themes in my stories usually that would make it YA.

Other possible titles for anyone who wants one of them. =D

@koshka

I feel like “Rhymer” sounds like someone who does a lot of poetry?

@whalekeeper

 I remember watching it when I was younger and being creeped out. It’s such a fun film.

Why do these two sentences make sense together? Like, why?

Or at least, titling things. I can name stuff all day long. It’s the officially titlely stuff that gets hard. Most of my books aren’t even titled.

@whalekeeper

Yeah the plot was very lacking. It would be cool to see the characters developed more.
