New drawings of the swords. ^^^

@hybridlore

Ooo!! I like yours a lot!!

I’ve been working on this chapter this morning…and it feels a little clunky to me. Do you guys have any input that you think would make it run smoother?

Chapter 14

The air was pleasantly cold, nipping the tip of Sef’s nose as she walked in step with Lilitu. The sound of leaves crunching b…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Do you have any moodboards?

@hybridlore

Sequel. It’s called The Two Emperors

So there’s Guardian Angels, then Sovereignty in the Galaxy: The Troublemakers, then Sovereignty in the Galaxy: The Two Emperors, then The Returns, then Alpha Slit, and that’s as far as I’ve got with sci-fi.

@hybridlore

Right, like the internal resolution vs the outward resolution. Sooo, I sort of feel like Katrin doesn’t exactly have her own huge goal. It’s more she’s trying to survive and protect her brother, but I’ve lately realized that she also holds a grudge against the administrators for a few reasons, mostly just because of the living conditi…

@hybridlore

I agree with Min and Jonas on everything they said. Resolve of the character will balance the unresolved political structure. However there’s still a lot of things you could do to end it differently. For one thing, most dystopias almost never talk about what happens after they take down the government. They need to reestablish…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Okay, yeah. That could definitely come in handy for some characters. For me, it’s kind of hard to think of things like that unless they’re completely random/are important to the plot.

Are you referring to the “hate/dislikes” idea? I find that often a character might also hate something they fear, so there can be overlap there. I’m not…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I haven’t written anything in the dystopian genre, but I find it interesting, and I might try my hand at it someday. I don’t have any great ideas for your problem. Have you read Fahrenheit 451? That’s the main dystopian novel I’ve read. You could try an ending sort of like that, where it suggests that things will eventually get…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Oof that’s a hard one XD

For a single novel, I think you do need a defining ending.

Something I have heard about in my research about plots is that there’s two separate goals your character has to reach. One of them is said and known about, such as defeating the government, the other is never mentioned but obvious to the reader.…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I thought of another thing that should be on the questionnaire: What do they hate/dislike?

@mineralizedwritings if you have time

“A little child dashed in without a knock and practically shouted, ‘I heard you got a new sword with a dragon head on it!’ His eyes reminded me of a dragon and I found it amusing that this child did not seem to mind…

@hybridlore

Yeah. There might be multiple that would work well. Perhaps something along the lines of emotions they inspire in others, and/or some general things people think about them.

@hybridlore

Okay. It looks like Midnight is the most popular. Retribution, Bloodsong, and Daybreak are the least. (Admittedly we have a small test sample.)

@hybridlore

Thank you!! 😊

@hybridlore

A week or so ago, in my creative writing class, we talked about characterization. The teacher showed us six methods of characterization, which can be remembered with the acronym NSTEAL: name, speech, thoughts, effect on others, actions, and looks. While these are mainly for characterization in actual writing, rather than for a…[Read more]

@esther-c @mineralizedwritings @hybridlore

Do you want me to post the next one? (since I left off on a cliffhanger)

@hybridlore

Thanks!

@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…
