I think you can check out some autobiographies or biographies that people have wrote about their own families to see if anyone has a writing style that is effective and suits your vision.
However, a major challenge I think you are likely to face would be finding a way to approach this task and present the information you find. Especially if you…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, I like the way it’s spelled. It’s looks like it would be pronounced sort of like “skadoosh” from Kung Fu Panda though XD

Whenever my brain is working, I’ll hopefully come back with some more names 😉

@alia Ahh, uhh, well… Yes. I am positive. It sure looks like a Dekreel, but it’s not 😉
Actually it’s important to note that I was actually named Dekreel after a historian who had also survived being a Chasm Beast. Legend has it that he looked like a bipedal wolf with a cat’s tail……. So that drawing is what he would have looked like. And…[Read more]

@clairec *whispers back* Everybody says “bestistest!”
“Bestest place in Cyberspace” is my trademark welcome greeting. I’m not saying “bestistest place on the internet” isn’t awesome though, because it is. Billions of times more awesome than my greeting.
But it doesn’t rhyme! XD Thus, I brainstormed the rhyme: “Bestest place in Cyberspace” ;…[Read more]

Yay! Welcome, again, @amily-huddleston! 😉
Realistic fiction sounds cool. I write speculative/historical. I love how we can all work together and help one another, despite writing very different content. This really is the bestistest place on the internet!
*whispers* psst, @dekreel, sorry to point this out, but it’s ‘bestistest’. Lots of people…[Read more]

If your magic system is based around moving stuff about, maybe you can look up synonyms and terms involving transportation, conveyance, delivery etc.? Reseaching words that describe the different realms and nature of things (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) can also help you find ways to describe and differentiate the…[Read more]

Thanks for your suggestions! You guys have given me much to think about. It will take some time for me to process everything so perhaps I should go into detail about the different issues I am encountering. This may help me think this through more clearly and come to a…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hm. For me the more I plan, the more unconfident I am. The more I’m like (Why am I doing this?!) I suppose planning isn’t my thing. Even though I tend to do it ALL THE TIME!
The KPA is going great! For once! I’m still a little unconfident, but I have found the secret to this:

Anyway, I’m signing off now. I was…[Read more]

Greetings!! *tips hat*
So as you know, I am writing a Dr Who fan novella (I think I’ve started one too many topics exactly like this XD). Its setting is in the country of Taranar, which contains the Red Chasms, which homes hundreds of Chasm Beasts like myself. But unlike myself, these Beasts are evil, even bloodthirsty. (total and constant…[Read more]

@seekjustice Completely relatable. I get so busy planning that I never get to write the stupid thing! This KPA has been an exception, though, which I am SO thankful for

I LOVE your name! It’s creative and unique, yet simple. I love that 😀

Yes, I think it works best as as scene that Chara remembers instead of putting it in the beginning. Maybe when Chara is at the “bottom of her self-reliance ability”, she can think about how stuff like this always happens to her and have her flashback to give an example. Then to make her background clear and make Chara appear as a…[Read more]

You know you’re a bookworm when you read a book in a day, and then wish you hadn’t read it so fast, because now there’s nothing else to read.
