It was a dry, dry summer. The crops suffered, and Pa worried that they wouldn’t grow to full height in time to produce. There was also the constant fear of prairie fires. Some nights the horizon glowed orange, from the wild, consuming flames miles away.

I finally found the courage to talk to C…[Read more]

Awww, Erichhh! 😭

But he sounds like such a cool POV to write from. 👀

@mineralizedwritings

I always love reading your writing. 😊 I feel like writing in present tense in becoming more popular now, at least in ya fiction, and I really enjoy it. I tried it once for a short story and failed miserably. 😂 But I might try it in a…[Read more]

Ok this is kinda long, if it looks familiar it’s a complete redo of a scene I posted awhile ago 🙂

I’m at exactly 24k now… progress is slow but going alright.

For those of you who don’t know, Aleshia is Lesli’s new boss but also the mother of her best friend, Tauren, so she grew up…[Read more]

Thanks for understanding!! 🙂 and thanks for supporting me <3

@savannah_grace2009 @hybridlore @vinagirl

Okkkk this is one of my favorite scenes I’ve written thus far!

May 1887

I knew Albert would be coming home soon, at least, that had been his plan when he left a year ago. Not that I’d heard anything from him since he had gone. I didn’t know exactly when he was coming back, until one Sunday I saw him sit…[Read more]

@acancello @grcr @hybridlore @esther-c

I’ve been praying about this today…and I just got a strong sense that God wants me to keep the beginning like I had it…like the second link.

I just feel a lot better about the way I had it before. I’m not sure why…I just get anxiety every time I think about starting it that way, and feel immediate…[Read more]

@vinagirl (plz tell me if you don’t want me to tag you every time time I post another scene) @hybridlore @svannah_grace2009

I still couldn’t bring myself to approach Etta as the harvest season arrived. Out of politeness, I attended the cornshuckings with all the other young people, but it felt like the fun was sucked out of them. Every t…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Sorry, I think my last post lagged.

It’s all Wyoh’s fault…..XD

I really like your idea of doing the flashback and then going to Lilitu’s pov, though!

Okay, great! i’ll think and pray about it, but I’m pretty sure that this fits better than how I had it originally.

@acancello @hybridlore @grcr

You guys, thank you so much for reading it and for everything!! I was kinda scared for some reason that nobody would be interested to even look at it!

 The first one does pull me in better and I want to read more, but I just love the description and feel of the second, however, it may be a bit slow for the beginning…

@hybridlore

I will definitely think about all this! I need to get more opinions before I make a decision…I am just so new to all this and want to see what more people think.

It’s a neat idea with the time change or whatever, I just don’t want it to be too confusing, and/or abrupt, you know?

@acancello

Awww your dedication and acknowledgement…

Okay, guys. I need serious help. My novel is kind of going nowhere…because I don’t know which way to start it!!!

I have two beginnings for my story. One jumps straight into…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Alright thanks!! And yeah, I know what you mean by abrupt. (:

@hybridlore @savannah_grace2009 @vinagirl

If any of you have ideas of plot twists I could add, or events that could happen in the story, I’d love to hear them. I feel like I keep running out of new ideas, but I want to strengthen my story and the characters. Maybe I just need to go read some more historical fiction from this time period lol.

@hybridlore @savannah_grace2009 @vinagirl

Here’s the next section! Please tell me if there’s anything that feels superficial or unrealistic. (Raegan, if you haven’t already, you might want to read all the previous posts starting on page one to get caught up)

@hybridlore @jonas

Yep, Jonas is right! (Is it okay to call you by your tag name?)

Tone armor is less of an official term, but I’ve heard it used a couple of times. Basically it’s plot armor, but instead of the character being protected by the plot, they are protected by the tone and style of the story. For example, Bugs Bunny can be hit by a m…[Read more]

@jonas @hybridlore

I would guess Tone Armor is character being protected to make it appropriate for the target audience, or something like that.

@hybridlore

It’s “plot armor” and “tone armor” actually, I think. Plot armor refers to a character being protected by the plot. I think you would use that term in a situation where a character keeps surviving just because they’re important to the plot.

I’ve never heard of tone armor.

@hybridlore

I’m sad that I wasn’t around to join the conversation….lol

@freedomwriter76 @smiley @mineralizedwritings @hybridlore

OH MY GOSH I’M DYING!!! GUYS I WAS STALKING THE ARCHIVES OF THE CHAT CHAT AND FOUND YOUR CONVERSATIONS ABOUT IF STEVE LOOKS BETTER WITH OR WITHOUT A BEARD!!!!!!!!!!!!
