WE’RE IN THE AFTERWORD PEOPLE! WE’RE FAMOUS!

@linus-smallprint

I’m going to try and look at all of this when possible.

@esther-c

The only place I rant about my characters or my writing is really on here or any other writing community.

I do tend to share a lot of mine with my siblings, but other than them, and here, no one gets to know about it.

@linus-smallprint

Thanks for the extra ideas. I bet I can make a list of things to focus on with line thickness.

Nice drawing!! I always like how dedicated you are with the textures, such as the wood and brick floor. that takes more patience than I have at this time.
I agree with Keilah on both those points. Another thing – Alan’s left arm might…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

This is sooo good! Your writing is so beautiful.

I never show my parents anything other than funny short stories. I don’t think they’d dislike it or not approve…but having parents read my cringey emotional or romantic scenes…*shudders*

@linus-smallprint

Oh, definitely. I was just curious about the rights of Canada’s government compared to ours. They seem to be very close.

@savannah_grace2009

Awww! Esther!!! That means literally so so SO much to me!!

I appreciate you so much, you’re amazing 🥺🥺💜💜💜💜

💕💕💕

So for a while I stopped writing altogether, because even when I would try to write happy things that didn’t include violence or too much evil or darkness, somehow the topic would always shift. And my heart was…

I want to use was and were less. I’ve noticed this mostly in my essays. I’ll write sentences like he was, or this was, and in my last essay I eliminated a lot of those, and it sounded a lot better.

I want to get better at worldbuilding. That’s something that always gets neglected in my stories. I generally just make stuff up as I go along, but…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Okay. You kind of confirmed my suspicions (room for improvement 👍), but I’m glad Alan’s arms look fine to you. Thank you!

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle @theducktator

I threw together a 9-point outline for Martha as well, since she will be a major point of view character in this book as well. It’s not quite complete, such as I’m not really sure what to do for her amplified pressure. But here is what I have so…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Ha!

That’s kind of funny, but Julian would KILL anyone who did that to him.

Plus it seems a little cliched.

BUT, it was funny. XD

@ellette-giselle

Actually, you know what would be funny? If one of the guys’ minds went in the same direction as mine and said something like ‘Yes, mom’ to Julian. And then, he would be stuck with that nickname for the rest of the story.

@linus-smallprint

Got it.

@ellette-giselle

 If he was joking would it work?

I think so. Make Aelic respond with another joke as well. Even if it just making a funny expression and saying “Ah”

Sure thing! I’ll wait until they’re published. 😉

Sounds good!

@hybridlore

In Canada, do you have the same guaranteed rights as in the US’s Constitution? I’m assuming it’s very similar. Freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc.?

Yes, we do have the same rights, but that doesn’t stop teachers from grading things based on what you write about instead of the actual quality of writi…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Okay, I’ll fix that. He was supposed to be joking. If he was joking would it work?

Sorry. Sometimes, I shy away from commitment and speak with uncertainty (that’s one of the ways my character, Eric, is like me). Maybe waiting until they are published would be a good idea, but yes, I will let you use them as a r…

@linus-smallprint

Yeah… 😅

That’s really interesting. Crazy to realize that this really isn’t too far off from what is happening in real life today.

Oh yeah, there…[Read more]

@stephie

Sorry I am late to reply.

Thank you for offering to help. However, would you mind waiting until I start posting chapters? I have a few people helping me with this already and I am hoping some people who are reading the draft I will be posting on here will not know what is happening in the story yet. Hopefully, it won’t be too long…[Read more]

A drawing of toothless I did for a friend. I tried out a bit of watercolour here.

I’m going to ask for some critique on this drawing regarding the proportions. I often draw characters separately, so am wondering how they fit together. I fear I may have made the horse too small. Also, what do you think of the character’s arm length?
