And the fact that A_____’s captor is a bit of an infidel because he has spurned most of the religion for a form of stoicism. His wife is devout though, and it’s sad.

*Is sad with you*

@whalekeeper

XD

I suppose they are. *Nods sagely*

The evil/weird religious system in my WIP so far only has moon worship and possibly vag…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Oh, and then you’ll have to figure out what the gods represent, and then you’ll have to have a basic mythology, and then there’s the question of how they teach this mythology….

@whalekeeper

*Sniffles* It’s okay. I think.

I may need boundaries.

XD

@whalekeeper

*Whimpers*

Maps? I tried. I really did.

*Screaming intensifies*

Yeah, I probably need to find some natural boundaries I can stick in. I’m not trying to be Tolkien. I just don’t know where to make it stop.

Not that I don’t love it at the same time…..

@keilah-h

It’s okay Keilah. The other day I called one of my characters something like “my little wolf child” and “baby”.

My older sister looked at me with this blank stare and asked who I was talking about because “Isn’t he the soldier?”

@whalekeeper

Ahhhhhhhhhhh yesss…… It never ends …..

I actually really need to flesh out some of my cultures on these lines, but then there’s the cultures inside bigger cultures, and the random pockets of society, and this is just one tribe?!

*Screams into pillow in a mixture of pure joy and pain*

@rae

Ah yes. Some writers talk about their super organized notes, and I’m just like “I have a head. And some notes here…or maybe over there…”

@raxforge

I’m not sure what a good process is, but here’s basically what I do.

I have a doc for each of my series that is mostly just notes about the characters, the plotline, and a bunch of random culture things. And then I’ve scribbled some things down in notebooks, but I haven’t kept up with those so I don’t really know if I have that stuff…[Read more]

Thanks for joining, y’all! It was awesome to kinda actually meet you.

May your words flow easily into your WIPs and all characters do as they should.

And remember y’all, we did decide to wear light costumes of some sort this week if anyone else wants to (like nothing too nuts. I’ll probably just be wearing a hat)

@grcr

Oh gracious. Thank you. XD Time zones are not my strong point.

@theducktator

3! You have another couple hours!

@theducktator

Nope! 2 pm Central, so 1 o’clock EST.

@savannah_grace2009

*Snort laughs*

*Chokes on my tea*

*Stumbles from room sputtering and laughing*

(I definitely like these characters now. Especially Aubrielle. She sounds like me.)

@whalekeeper

Not typically, or at least not externally. I can tear myself up inside and spend the rest of the day letting off steam.

Now re reading it? I’ll have myself crunched up in a corner, or randomly laughing even though I wrote the whole thing.

Y’all are fine. We’ll just *sniffle* have to survive.

@whalekeeper

*Watches cake disappear* *offers tea*

That sounds like a headache. Do you…do you need more cake?

(*Wonders if my charie names match their colors* *stresses*)

@loopylin

Ugh, yes. So much feel is in a name.

*offers you cake as well*

@loopylin

*Is sad*

@whalekeeper

*Stumbles backwards*

Seven could be green, but he’s definitely a conniving mastermind who might work as an acrobat. I don’t really have a color for that.

I’m pretty sure I don’t have synesthesia (or at least, I don’t think I do) but it’s a pretty cool superpower. I just struggle to find a name that has the same personality/feel as…[Read more]

And yes, I’m perfectly normal as far as I know. So you’re fine. We’re all made a little weird in some ways, like a special type of glitter.

*Blinks at that wording*

*Isn’t sure what exactly I meant, but decides to leave it*

@rae

I get it. I don’t usually have a single color, or really one I can pin down to a single number, but there are vague hints with most of them, most strongly on multiples of 3, for some reason.

Music makes sense as a color in my head, but there really isn’t one of that makes sense? More like I connect emotions and personalities to colors, and…[Read more]
