Thank you so much for the advice! I might try that for different cultures/nations in one world! (I have three major ones, atm.) I have (*counts*) five different languages, besides the universal one (I think) and a similar amount of writing systems (based on the same basic runes, just different styles) and those come together with the…[Read more]

Zoe

Corvina drew a breath, eyeing Zoe like she had done something wrong.

“Look,” she said, her voice soft like when Malcolm coaxed her before demanding something from her. “I’m not ‘ordering’ you to do anything. I’m just…letting you tag along, okay? That’s it.” Corvina spoke cooly, almost slyly, like there was a hidden trick.…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Thank you!! ☺️ It is probably the scene I’ve written that I’m most proud of, right now, because it feels so natural when I’m reading it and it came so easily. (I had another scene, long ago, but ALAS I lost it to accursed technology (which I’m still bitter about because there was a ton more I lost with it).) It seems like near…[Read more]

@e-m-trepke

I have given some thought to that idea, but as of yet, I do not know how Anti will be affected, mentally or anything. Aside from being ostracized completely from his group of gifted and all society, I am not sure how he will respond. I think he will continue to rationalize his actions, at least for a while, but when it comes time for…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 and THAT is another reason why I must have my MC die: so I can use this scene. (But I was already planning on having him die, anyway, because that was the beginning idea of this WIP: to write a story from a mentor’s pov and still have him die.) ANYWAY… Thank you!!!

Hmmm… I was reading through this, and I came up with another question:

How does your MC’s death affect the antagonist?

Of course, there would be repercussions for committing the act, but on a deeper level, how is Anti affected?

@koshka

(I know!) You’re welcome.

Thank you! I hope that it will still be after I butcher it in the writing process. XD But, that is what the other drafts after the first one are for. Heh.

@godlyfantasy12

Imma just share the only scene I’ve actually written for that WIP I’ve talked about and asked for some help with. So, here ye go, and lemme know what you think!!

The phoenix rose from ashes of his body, drawing all heat to itself, growing larger as it rose into the sky, leaving behind icy stillness.

Stoke watched from the hil…

(grrr, KP swallowed my posttttt!)

(lets see if I can get this to work.)

This’s what’s called a ‘mood board’ for the MC of my own oldest WIP.

@koshka

(ah, well, I tried.) I understand that sort of pickiness. I sometimes am the same way, but in order to finish a book/series.

So, you mean different ‘levels’ of conflict, like physical conflict, mental conflict, and spiritual conflict, then, probably. My WIP does have more than just one of those (and possibly all three, depending on…[Read more]

Zoe

Corvina studied her for a few minutes.

“Fine with me,” she shrugged, but Zoe felt her eyes studying her. Picking her apart. Dissecting her, like Malcolm did every time. Perhaps even reading my thoughts. She let her eyes fall, ashamed.

“I suppose you won’t be much help if I don’t tell you what I’m doing here, hm?”

Ord…[Read more]

@unsung

I have a slight feeling that quite a few people begin writing because of wanting to sort out emotions, then just keep going. But that feeling is just a theory…

It does get discouraging when my mom is in a hostile mood towards writing. Thankfully, (as I may have mentioned before) she’s never forbidden me. Heh, I suppose I am. I respect…[Read more]

Sofia

The courtyard occupants did not answer her, so she walked away from the window, wandering and wondering what to do.

The castle walls irked her, setting her on edge. She felt at home among the trees of a forest or standing on a ship at sea. But in buildings, her spirit crawled inside her, fighting to be free of the wood or stone…[Read more]

Zoe

“Guess I’ll let you tag along.”

Zoe hesitated. Should she really do this? If Corvina turned out to be against Malcolm, he might kill one of the twins. He would never kill me; he would never kill is favorite pet.

Corvina looked back at her. “You coming?”

Corvina was either working with Malcolm, or not, and Zoe hoped that…[Read more]

@koshka

Thank you! I love it, and came up with it myself, but will admit it was somewhat inspired by 3CP-O’s constant negative stating of odds. XD

Of course, and fortunately that is close to the end of the book. I plan on there being close to 3 or 4 years between the beginning and the end. 🙂

I hope it will! And I will be sure to keep that in…[Read more]

Zoe

“Or…?”

Zoe didn’t continue. She didn’t have to. If the girl had ordered her, and not just asked, then she would have continued. But it wasn’t an order.

“Tell ya what,” Corvina started, “maybe you can help me. But this,” she waved her finger between Zoe and herself, “Isn’t gonna work. I’m not working with someone who w…[Read more]

Zoe

“Sorry sweetheart, dunno who this Malcom character is.” The girl looked around at the room, probably studying it; Zoe watched her, trying to understand what was happening. Why couldn’t things be easy and simple, like an order to “go here” or “do that”? Would this stranger be like Malcolm, and brutal?

“Does this, Malcolm,”…[Read more]

Zoe

“Well, this is unexpected.”

Zoe stopped, if that was a possible thing to do since she was already standing still. She stopped breathing.

The voice came from behind her, a girl’s voice. Unfamiliar. But confident. [Malcolm] must have sent her. No one walked the halls of [Malcolm]’s castle without a purpose. Zoe felt it was s…[Read more]

Cool! Thanks!

Thrawn (or Mith’raw’nuru’odo) is, in my opinion, a very complex character. He, along with Darth Vader, is one of my favourite Star Wars villains.
