Thanks for catching the ‘is’. Thing pointed out the gender because Tailen asked “who is this guy” and she was still contemplating on who he meant, she didn’t stop at Once because Tailen obviously couldn’t have meant him😂 Do I need to make that more obvious?

Okay, that’s kind of what I was thinking. I don’t know if it needs to be…[Read more]

Yes, SA is still going to be 10, but it’s split into two sequences starting different characters, with 10-15 year gap between.

@hybridlore

Oh, yes I did. After discussing some things with my brother, I decided I’m going to write about one of my warrior teams. Thanks for offering, though! 😄

@savannah_grace2009

You might not care, but I try to maintain a fairly equal ratio of male MCs to female MCs in a book. This shouldn’t be the deciding factor, but consider that adding Liv as a MC would give you a 2 to 4 ratio (double the amount of female characters to male), whereas you currently have as even a ratio as possible with 2 to 3…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

The amount of characters a book can handle depends on how long it is and how “main” the characters will be.

I keep using Stormlight as an example for some reason but in Stormlight, which will be 5 books long, each over 1000 pages, there are three main characters, but there are probably a dozen or so main-ish characters who…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Just popping in, I know I haven’t been very active on here…

Is 6 MC’s too many, or should I stick with my original 5?

It really depends. If Liv is going to be important enough to be an MC and if you can make each of their viewpoints interesting and make every character unique, I’d say go for it. I know GodlyFantasy has, li…[Read more]

CRYSTAL SWORDS, The weapon of Thurston.

Twelve-year-old Nahim cast little bits of metal and crystal across a rough floor in disgust. He hung his head, every minute of free time he had gone to his little private hiding hole and labored over this project for months, and yet he had no progress to show it. He figured a…

@thearcaneaxiom

Sure!

@jonas

I would say it completely depends on relevance to the main plot. Is she going to have future interactions with the main cast? Will her actions have an impact on the overall story? If not, then I would say it would be best not to, but there is another option.

Yeah, she’s going to play a part in the story.

That makes sense, I’ll experiment I…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Any help would be great. I’m a hopeless case when it comes to making up names of places in my fantasy world. I normally end up looking up weird names or fantasy town name generators. So yeah.

The only reason i made it all caps was because it would make it sound/look more significant than just the word “unit” and it’s more…

@freedomwriter76

Only read this if you want too…but look how outdated the style is!!! I can’t believe I used to write like this, and that was just last year! CRINGE. This is one of the only scenes that I teared up during…and i still don’t really get why. It’s not that good tbh…

Jorryn

After what seems like at least a million more steps…

@freedomwriter76

made me cry so many times writing it tho! XD

I haven’t actually cried while writing any stories (though I have a feeling that my current WIP will do it sometime soon as it deals with abuse, romance, and evil in general and some parts are sad!).  I once wrote a sad chapter last spring for a school assignment about this boy who was…[Read more]

@jonas @thearcaneaxiom

Hey, it’s me again, lol. I have a question. Is it fine to give a side character a POV if it’s for one or two chapters?

Here’s some context. If you guys remember Liv from chapter 5 (where Lilitu steals bread), I was thinking she could play a part in Lilitu’s story. She’s kind of secretly supporting the Paynes and I wanted…[Read more]

@acancello

I should have the next scene done by tomorrow for the RP 🙂

Oooh I’m excited! I’ll wait to write mine until you post it, because I don’t want to accidentally have the same idea, lol. (And I RP way too much on here, lol)

@janellebelovedpig

AHHH! I think Sarafini left us! NOOOO! All her posts say anonymous and I can’t see her profile 🙁

@mineralizedwritings

Yeah, it’s really small! and 500 is just the population of the town! There’s 12 kids in my class and 120 kids K-12!!!!! It’s kind of crazy compared to some where the graduating class is like 600. There were 6 seniors last year!

You can do something ou don’t like for a little while, and she might appreciate it if you played p…

@thearcaneaxiom

(Uhhh, has anyone noticed that @sarafini has vanished? All her past posts say anonymous now…Did she just leave?)

I did notice a bunch of posts that said anonymous.

This chapter is good too. I don’t have much feedback right now. I noticed one misspelling:

The robot ascended to a small section of the ceiling that held a cavity it…
