@freedomwriter76 *flashbacks to our numerous aesthetic/moodboard channels over the years*

Wow, yours all look really good! You must really like Marvel, eh?

@freedomwriter76 Oo noice. My current favorite WIP is a scifi retelling of Cain and Abel mixed with the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

Noice, 27k words is a lot! You got this, I believe in you!

No need to apologize! I understand that urge and need. Every writer has it at some point. 😉

@hirsegirl13

np! And I can’t wait to hear what you come up with, if you decide to share!

The worldbuilding and the characters.

I have found that one of my favorite things about writing is the worldbuilding (which explains why I enjoy writing fantasy so much). Plus, the worldbuilding of this particular project I’m especially proud of. It’s pretty simple, compared to many, but it’s still complex and developing. And I love it.

I am al…[Read more]

@horsegirl13

What sort of underwater things can you imagine? What is the government system for the fish and sharks? Do fish have to hide from their predators, like sharks, still? How do they manage that? Does that affect travel and commerce? Is there much trading between the different places and groups? Is there magic of some sort that protects…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 Wowow, that sounds awesome! What stage of writing it are you in?

*chuckles nervously* Which WIP?

@freedomwriter76 Sure sure, go for it! It’s been a while since anyone’s told me about their book XD

@freedomwriter76 Wow, lots of Christian music. You can also make playlists on Youtube if you have that.

Great selection! Makes me want to hear more about your WIP.

@freedomwriter76 I like them enough, don’t actively follow them but they have some songs I really like, haha. They’re pretty catchy.

Do you have any playlists you’d like to share?

@freedomwriter76 I write them when I have time and inspo, heh.

Here’s one for like the last novel I was working on last year:

@freedomwriter76 I make playlists occasionally for short stories if I’m feeling bored, or just add songs I think fit with a novel to a playlist to eventually sort out, heh. I think they’re somewhere on Spotify? I’d share if anyone wants t see em.

@samuel-p-robbins I was so confused seeing my message on here lol.

@kathleenramm Honestly I really like how well everything’s tying together for it (plot, themes, character, worldbuilding, backstory, etc etc). Probably my most structured novel yet? I’m enjoying the single POV and small cast of characters, a nice change of pace from my usual big casts, as well as structuring internal and external conflict to all…[Read more]

@lydia-s Thanks for chiming in anyway! XD

@devastate-lasting Thank you so much! I know you have a lot of experience with online publishing, so I’m really glad you wrote an article about it.

@joy-caroline I think something to consider is what theme you’d like this character to represent, and then working with that. So if your themes are love and faith, maybe finding a way for this character to struggle with one of those things. An estranged family member they have to reconcile with, and demonstrate love? A health crisis they have to…[Read more]

Well, @joy-caroline, your side character is a human too.

What is something he wants? What is his desire in life? Will he be focusing on a having it while helping out his friend, or will helping his friend be his entire focus for the duration of the story, like Sam in The Lord of the Rings? Why are the two friends? What caused them to become…[Read more]

@emilysf Wow!!! That’s great!

@jodi-maile I know I wrote an article about online publishing for @gracie-j sometime last year, hopefully you can find it here in the first issue: https://skysthelimitpress.wixsite.com/home/the-journal

“A glass-spitter? Can you tell me more about it?” Feather admired the lizard.

Rinzler was more worried about the fact that it was alive. “In our world, there’s something called ‘impossible ice’ which doesn’t act like normal ice….could they be encased in that? And that’s what’s keeping the creatures…[Read more]
