Praying! I know it can be hard. My mom struggles with the same thing, and I get what you mean about feeling like you aren’t able to help her in any way. But Gracie, trust me, prayer is powerful. More so than you can know! @graciegirl

The nose too. If you’re brave enough to snarl at yourself in a mirror, notice how the nose humps in the middle and wrinkles at the bridge.

@Alia *chokes* Erm… haha… XD Well, don’t be afraid to draw it crooked and off center. Sometimes the impression is more important than accuracy. Also don’t overdraw the mouth— a few well-placed lines are better than the whole outline, which can sometimes look static and lifeless. As for snarls in particular… quick hint. More than half of a…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 she could approach Matthias about it… but it would be better, I think, if you did end up having the sparring scene, and as she’s walking in she overhears something, and then tries to get the info out of him while they’re sparring. His continued avoidance will only heighten her curiosity, giving you a great opportunity to get…[Read more]

I just realized I butchered that title. You know you’re a pathetic creature when you can’t even remember the title of your own blog post that you just looked at five minutes ago. XD

@Alia *nods* Yeah, I’ve read that, it was pretty good. XD

@That_writer_girl_99 But deep down inside, aren’t we all just a little afraid of Kate’s dragon breathe?

*rushes in late* Story? What story? OH, that story. Ahem. Yes. Here you go. @Daeus @That_writer_girl_99 And I’ll tag @Kate-Flournoy just in case.

That Time I Thought God Couldn’t Write a Story

Yeah. *places fire extinguisher beside laptop in case of sudden combustion*

Okay. I like that. I definitely think that idea deepens Matthias’ purpose.

Alright, so…Kara is walking back to her cell. All of the other Elementals are supposed to be in their own cells, which means that Matthias talking to one of the guards would be very…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 okay. That’s fine. It’s good to know your limits. We don’t want you burning out. 😉

Wellll… since you want to stick to Kara’s pov, maybe she could overhear some guards talking about what happened? Or perhaps she hears Matthias talking to a guard, receiving or giving a message from/to the Warden. This gives her suspicions…[Read more]

Telepathy. A favorite ability of mine. To write, I mean. Not that I’m…actually telepathic. @kate-flournoy

Uh. Okay. At this point…I’m planning on just doing Kara’s POV. I don’t think I can manage to incorporate a theme into my story, balance multiple characters, plot out different arcs, and switch POVs. That’s too much. This story holds a lot…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 again, my apologies… *clears throat meekly* Telepathic dragon in the making here; I was practicing and got it wrong. *mysterious wink*

Moving on now.

No, you’re right. That’s not enough to drive an entire chapter. Unless something important happens in the sparring room, I would say cut it entirely. Writing is about change,…[Read more]

Um, not if you’re replying to my response… lol.

Erm, goodbye, then? @daeus

I…goodness. That startled me more than it probably should have. @kate-flournoy

*takes a moment to settle herself* Okay. What I was going to say was…I can’t figure out what to do in chapter three. Like, part of it is a transition scene–Kara is running back to her cell after the power goes out–but I don’t know what to do after that.

I had…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 My apologies. That’s what would have gotten me stuck. XD
*ahem* How are you stuck?

What? Wait. Just…what? @kate-flournoy That is completely irrelevant to what I’m stuck on.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 switch POVs.

@kate-flournoy I’m stuck.

Yay! Thank you! @kate-flournoy

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’ll give him a shot. 🙂
