Yeah, I get it, school can be really busy! Though, when I homeschooled, I didn’t usually have that long of a day.

Now, with public school and volleyball, I go to school from 8 until 3:45, have practice from 4 until 5:30, then come home. My little sister does gymnastics, and my little brother does taekwondo in the afternoons (both still do…[Read more]

Oh my goodness, I love that! if you post any of it on KP, please tag me, I would love to read that!

@mineralizedwritings

Thanks Min!

Here’s what I’ve been working on!

Beep. Beep. Beep. She squirmed in agony as the tendrils of sound beat against her temples like a jackhammer. She did not want to wake up. She did not want to open her eyes. She did not want to live in a world…

Sorry, I need to stop talking about how many words I have, lol.

You’re good. No problem.

I’ve been writing like….a LOT

I would probably spend large portions of my day writing if I could, but I have a super busy school year, which means I am basically working on school from 8am to 4-5pm. I pretty much do all my writing Satur…[Read more]

Is it okay if I join you guys here?

@jonas

Sorry if it seems like I’m just ranting about my accomplishments, lol.

Let me rephrase that.

Sorry, I need to stop talking about how many words I have, lol.

Hi guys!

mind if I join the party, lol?

@jonas

Yeah, there’s definitely a happy medium!

Months without writing? I’ve been writing like….a LOT….my family thinks I’m mentally insane, as do my classmates, because of how much I write and am on KP lol. It’s hard to imagine not writing XD I just hit 20K! (1,000 more than I had last week, lol) My class thinks I’m weird because I’ll…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

It’s not an entirely bad thing to be writing and not planning. While it may not produce entirely cohesive stories, it does give you practice writing, which is one of the most important things. On the other hand, I, having spent so much time planning and so little time writing, don’t have much practice writing, which means that…[Read more]

@jonas

I’m usually the opposite, I get so excited about writing the first chapter that I write a couple pages, then start worldbuilding for real, and then I write a blurb. Though I haven’t done a lot of that, either. (Unfortunately, I write way more than I plan sometimes.) I usually find myself with a lot of chapters that don’t make much sense in…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Flamebreaker is probably one of my favorite designs too.

Thanks! The blurb is way better than what I have so far XD. I don’t really have anything actually written.

@jonas

I think I like Tempest and Flamebreaker the best.

I like your blurb! I would totally read that if it was in a library!

@thearcaneaxiom

I just read through the second chapter, and I really like it! How do you come up with these ideas? I could never, lol. I’m having problems just coming up with a simple magic system, haha.

Great work! Also, I like the second cover, because it shows the “reflection” thing that Talien was diagnosed with and I like the theme/design…[Read more]

I also wrote this blurb for the first book:

Twenty years ago, the ancient kingdom of Arvendor was ravaged by Argaroth the Dragon Lord and his dark hosts. In the final battle, Arvendor was shattered, and its king killed, but Argaroth was destroyed.

            That at least is the legend that is told.

            Nearly two decades later, the wo…[Read more]

@jonas

yeah, I do agree with you it is realistic, I’m just experimenting with Marcurious a bit. But you’re right, Marcurious does end up having a sort of breakdown later.

The more I think about it, I guess that character arc is Marcurious a little bit, after he spends a week in the UNIT, hehe (insert evil laughter and horrible smells. bwahaha!).…[Read more]

I kind of see that a little cliche to be honest, since like you said, it’s a SUPER common character arc.

it may be common, it may even be cliche, but I would say that’s because it’s realistic. Someone who’s had it easy will breakdown in bad situations more than someone who’s had a harder life. Again, I’m not saying you should use it, but I think…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

I really like the chapter! You did really well explaining things, but not info-dumping. One question, though, if Tailen is going to starve to death, wouldn’t he die of dehydration first? Or was that explained and I just missed it?

As for the covers, the first one is simpler, which might be good, but the other one is cool too. N…[Read more]
