@nova21 Ay, good luck! Glad I could be of use.

@gracie-j

you’re welcome!! 🙂

I totally understand what you mean; I do that so often, which is why it’s lovely to have several very different people in my book so one can ramble, one play devil’s advocate, and the other one, who’s the quiet rough one, can end any stupidity happening in the disagreement. XD

@nova21

haha, thanks! I guess she’s based on yours truly *bows, then hesitates, evaluates character, and wonders if I actually paid myself a compliment or not… *

@gracie-j

First of all… I LOVE the name Keaton! second, his dialogue seems to fit. I suppose just keep his lines short, don’t have him using too many please n’ thank you’s and keep…[Read more]

@nova21

You’re welcome! 🙂 the story sounds so intriguing, and I’m sure it’ll be epic, whatever you decide!

@writerlexi1216

Been there. A lot.

I agree with all these fine folks!

I will break up my advice:

1: I’d say don’t try too hard on things. If you’re finding it hard, write what you can, and don’t push so hard you’re on the edge of tears (personal admonishment for myself right now XD), but as Elizabeth said, refill!!! I love writing, but at…[Read more]

@maryg3

Thank you! it took me a year and a half to decide! lol

Well, I must say my inspiration was partly from a Griffin clan keychain pendant I was given two years ago. One side of my family two generations back has that last name. 🙂 That triggered the story being started as well as the story of the MC (main character), but the actual world…[Read more]

@will_starke

sorry, your tag didn’t go through the first time

@nova21

haha!! Great idea!! And I’d say your MCs dialogue fits.

My sci fi book MC is shy in big groups but stubborn and has her opinions and likes to bug her brother

her first three lines in the story:

(Omits action) Alden, stop it! I hit in here five minutes ago!”

(Omits action) “Good morning. I didn’t burn the house down so that’s encouragi…

@maryg3

yes I did come up with a name; The Forgotten World

haha thanks glad you like the meme!

@keilah-h

i see!  you still did well 🙂

@nova21 Oo, fun! Hard time to find which MC though, haha…

This is for Nan Jinqi, who’s, um, what is he like… He’s quiet and dependable, I think. Quite observant. Hard-working. I don’t know that much about him yet.

1) “Run!”

2) “It was your stupid machine that crashed and burned, [action tag omitted], And who said I was here to stop you?”

3)…

@writerlexi1216 Ah, yes, the first time I won NaNoWriMo I didn’t write another word for 4 months. Not worth it lol. But since then I’ve built up my writing muscles.

For me I just keep floundering around in water like I’m about to drown. I tell myself I’m gonna keep writing, but in reality it’s so painful I can only get out 100 words a day. But…[Read more]

@nova21 I like this idea! Unfortunately I never plot out my character arcs so I can’t help you with that. Best of luck, though. I believe one time someone told me that an overarching theme for a series + individual themes for each book is good, so I think that could work the same with arcs. Maybe for the next book focus on something more…[Read more]

@lewilliams It’s been pretty good! Working on a lot of things right now, started a new web serial, watching some anime, getting ready for some big changes…

@maryg3

ahhh yes they totally ruined the Hobbit movies. Although I think they did a good job of Smaug

LoTR is my favourite book to read and I’ve listened through it several times too! Cool that you listen through it too! I have the  unabridged audiobook copy narrated by Rob Inglis. I can fall asleep listening to that book now lol

i am cu…[Read more]

@kathleenramm It was helpful that in the canon they also appear together.

@daisy-torres Chaos is a good word for it XD

@maryg3

Hi!! Welcome!

Sounds like you are writing some really intriguing stories! 🙂

Have you read/watched the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings?

@gracie-j whoops! sorry lol

@ben-dykes

Hi there!! Good to meet you! As far as advice, I’d say don’t be shy to ask anything you want answers for, the people on here are very friendly and even though I’ve only been on here a couple months its been so so helpful for my writing journey

I don’t bite unless provoked and am generally amiable and happy unless I’m too hot, too…[Read more]

@keilah-h

No you aren’t boring me; i don’t know what the shows are, so they might not mean as much, but i still think they’re cool! 🙂 good job! you are good at doing multiple drawings of the same character; that is one if the hardest things for me to do as an artist.
