Ooh, a bunch of new lines? *grabby hands* Gimme, I’m going to combine them:

I was relieved that it was…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Ooh, I know exactly how you feel. I feel stupid everytime I try to write something with deep themes, or just anything in general. I keep reminding myself I’m just a teenager and that some things should be above me, but then I look at other books kids have published, Anne Frank’s diary, etc, and I feel horrible.

I don’t know how to…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I love this idea so much! I was just thinking about how I could get more bible studying in. My youth bible study group is ending on Friday, so this would be perfect! 🙂

I probably won’t be able to make the very first meeting if it’s next week. I have school next Monday/Tuesday, but next week is my last week of school so if the…[Read more]

@ariel-f

Ooh, my world is a lot like Earth, except for the presence of magic and a lot more advanced technology. The world is set pretty far along in its’ life so the magic is dying out, I’m basically starting at the end, if that makes any sense. At least now I have room for a prequel! xD

Yes, swimming! I’ve never done it as a sport before…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Uhhhhhh… I have no idea. I’ve only used Inkarnate for the one map I’ve made xD

You could try paper and pencil and then take a picture of it to add to your WIP, but other than that and Inkarnate;

_(. .)_/

(That’s supposed to be me shrugging lol)

@elfwing

Oh, goodness, that’s hilarious. We need to do it at the very end when everyone has included their sentences. xD

Here’s an updated version with @joy-caroline line in it;

I was relieved that it was a mime instead of a traditional clown, then I wouldn’t have to be caught up in some unfunny joke that he wanted to play on me. She would s…[Read more]

Oof it’s been like 5 days since I last worked on my WIP so I had to go back through my history. But I finally found it!

*AHEM*

“Well… I’m glad you enjoyed your stay in Nightblaze.”

Yeah, it’s not funny or weird at all, I remember that I wanted to write some of the boring bits so I could work on the fun stuff later. It’s just the last sente…[Read more]

@anika123

It looks really good! I’m so glad to see that the format is easier to read and the grammar mistakes have been fixed. Specific advice; I would suggest that when the mom says her first line, you wrote ‘she said’ instead ‘she groaned.’ Sometimes simplicity is your best friend! 🙂

@madelyn

They don’t exactly solve the problem, but they definitely give me a fresh perspective on how to fix the problem! Thank you!

@lydia-s

Yes, only princesses can compete in the trials. All of those are very interesting ideas, and although there aren’t any physical judges, she could definitely show up as an honored guest or a trainer. Thank you for the help! 🙂

@lydia-s

Yeah, I’m writing my first 18 year old character and her boyfriend proposes to her towards the end. I’m looking forward to writing it!

@lewilliams

They’re not in any one particular kingdom, they’re sort of at an ‘in-between’ point. The tournament area is on an island away from the main kingdoms. But she could probably get away with going to visit and then ends up trapped on the island with the princesses. Maybe.

@elfwing

Thank you, that does kind of help, but she’s actually 18, not a ‘child.’ And she believes that refusing to rule would be considered treason.

That helps me with background for another character, though, so thanks! 😀

@ariel-f

Hey, Ariel! My name is Evelyn, I’m 14, though I’m turning 15 in a few months. I’ve been writing seriously since around 2017, and I’m working on a sci-fi/fantasy novel set in a whole other world.

I am also a Christian but I go to public school. I love cats, music, swimming, reading, and of course writing. I mostly write romance and…[Read more]

@anika123

Hey, Anika! I was actually just listening to your podcast when I saw this, it’s really interesting. 😀

1. I think one of the best ways to make dialogue less choppy is by developing your characters’ individual voices. Consider character ages, personalities, ethnicities, religions, etc. All of these factors contribute to character voice.…[Read more]

@elanor

Ah, no worries, happens occasionally xD

@elanor

It’s about a bunch of princesses at this tournament for ultimate glory and bragging rights of their kingdom. There’s a lot more to it but I’m trying to shorten it as much as possible. But I could go on for hours. lol
