Hey Kayleigh!! Of course! That’s a great idea, I definitely get wanting that feeling of satisfaction. 🙂
Hey Elfwing! Thanks!! Oh I totally get that!! That’s an awesome idea, thanks for the advice!
Hey Daisy! Aw, thanks!! That’s super helpful, especially the part about realizing that he can love <…[Read more]

@nova21 Oo, fun! Hard time to find which MC though, haha…
This is for Nan Jinqi, who’s, um, what is he like… He’s quiet and dependable, I think. Quite observant. Hard-working. I don’t know that much about him yet.

2) “It was your stupid machine that crashed and burned, [action tag omitted], And who said I was here to stop you?”

Ooh, interesting! I think that dialogue fits super well for Dylan, especially since the lines are short. That goes well with his strong-willed personality, in my opinion! As for mine… they’re kinda short, so… XD
MC is Felicity, who is (also) strong-willed, stubborn, and tough, though she’s secretly quite caring.
1) “Huh.” (I know,…

The title says it all, folks. I just thought it might be fun to compare what your character says to see if the dialogue truly matches their personality or not.
So I’ll share mine first!
MC is Dylan, who is stubborn, quiet, and strong-willed. A little self-protective. Lmk if his dialogue fits his personality.
1) “Better.” (*rolls eyes…

@writerlexi1216 Ah, yes, the first time I won NaNoWriMo I didn’t write another word for 4 months. Not worth it lol. But since then I’ve built up my writing muscles.
For me I just keep floundering around in water like I’m about to drown. I tell myself I’m gonna keep writing, but in reality it’s so painful I can only get out 100 words a day. But…[Read more]

This is ALL too relatable, Lexi! The way I usually (try) to overcome writer’s block/burnout is picking up a different project. I have *counts Scrivener docs* 25 WIPs from the last 2 yrs. Not that they’re perfect. (Or finished.)
This way really helps me to take a step back and pick a project that I’ve been developing pre…[Read more]

Oh my goodness, that’s a brilliant idea!!! I may do that, thank you!!! Sometimes even just writing about having writer’s burnout is super helpful, so that’s a great idea! 😀 And *gasps* aww, thank you so much!

Lin replied to the topic How do you continue a character arc in a series? in the forum Plotting 5 years, 1 month ago
@nova21 I like this idea! Unfortunately I never plot out my character arcs so I can’t help you with that. Best of luck, though. I believe one time someone told me that an overarching theme for a series + individual themes for each book is good, so I think that could work the same with arcs. Maybe for the next book focus on something more…[Read more]

Oh yeah, and then there’s Hunterclone Run. Don’t even get me started on how weird that one was.

@Nanisnook Thanks! I thought you’d like him. He’s an ice dragon, like all clone troopers, and I didn’t realize that was perfect for him for a little while (I mean, icy scales, icy personality, why not? He also has a TON of spikes on his back and a bunch on his tail, too, which means when he tells someone “Go away, I’m in a bad mood” he means it).

Me: Come on, knock him on the head and snap him out of it!
Hunter: (does nothing)

*waves* Hullo! Things have been going well, though I haven’t done much writing as of late because I’m pretty sure I’ve hit writer’s burnout *awkward smile*. But I’ve been outlining both Echoes of Destiny, a possible romance novella idea, AND the second book of my series, Last of Her Kind, so that’s been interesting. 😉 I’ve been sk…[Read more]

So I basically took some concept art from a show and drew the character four times in different positions just because. This is what happens when you combine Tron with dragons.

I have plenty of weird stories!
My first long story involved fan fiction characters renting a boat and traveling the world. They played ice hockey (on the land, not on the boat), they went to an animal sanctuary, and they built lightsabers……What, it was my first fanfiction! A Star Wars one, to be exact.
My Tesla anthology was the first story (…[Read more]

The dragon adaptations are partially from the Wings of Fire book series, but I add some parts too. I like making all the characters of one type into one kind—the clone troopers are all ice dragons, while the Republic and Imperial officers are mostly from various water dragon species. A lot of the alien Star Wars species have their own dragon s…[Read more]
