Yep this is the same job I was agonising over back then. God is great! 😀

@catwing

Thanks! 🤗

Oops sorry. I put away the file and closed the link for this project because I wanted to keep my focus on my WIP (which I’m thinking of getting some reviews for as well). But I’ll still like to know your thoughts this! The link should be working now. Thanks!

Hmm… yes maybe that will work. I was planning on having a more sweeping epic but maybe a tighter story might suit the premise better. Thanks!

@introvert_girl

Sure no problem.

I tend to start off writing well but I have trouble deciding how to continue my stories. This causes me to get stuck and saps away my motivation to write. For my WIP, I have been trying to see if outlining will help but outlining is hard when I’m not sure how I want my story to go.

So just to try something new I’m putting one…[Read more]

I’ll tag @kaya-young (sorry if you’ve already been tagged)

Would your current WIPs MC rather fight one horse-sized duck, or fight ten duck size horses? (very deep philosophical question here 😛 )

Would your character rather take a train to a faraway place so he/she can enjoy the ride and look at the beautiful scenery, or just use a portal to get to the faraway place instantaneously to save all that time? (Assuming these are the only two options he/she has)

The Doctor would rather take the…[Read more]

Great news! So even after that horrible job interview, they have contacted me and told me that they’re keen to take me on! 😀

It’ll still be a while before they can make an actual offer so I’m still praying about it and there are other positions that have also sparked my interest so I’ll still need G…[Read more]

@valtmy  @christianna-hellwig  Shall I add you two to my list of potential characters? It’s okay if you don’t want me to. 😉 If so, tell me a bit about yourselves 🙂

@itisastarrynight  @introvert_girl  @notawriter  What do you three want to look like?

@mariposa  Do you want your artsy pterodactyl in there, too? (Forg…[Read more]

Part Five: The Cart at the Edge of the Forest

“Wild troll-things?” Jenna wondered to herself as she soared on Kai’s back through the night.

***

Several minutes later, she was at the edge of the Vivid Green forest, the largest wood on the island. The ankle-high grass shone white under the radiant, full moon (whic…[Read more]

Today, I have several characters that need to be drawn!

• Lauryne: 11-13 years old. Long, straight, thick golden blond hair that’s usually tied up in a high ponytail, with a bit more hair framing her face. Blue eyes, freckle…

@sam-kowal Good point, I was reading the Hobbit at about that age too. As for dramatic, I think I can achieve that. *cough*not saying I have the tendency to be overdramatic. not saying that at all*cough* 😉

@notawriter Thank you muchly!

@ingridrd Why thank you!

Okay so I’ve never written a book, let alone a children’s one! (Even though I have a concept I’d love to be a children’s book.. but ehem)
So if it sounds like I’m spirting nonsense please disregard it and move on to the advice of other wiser kapeefers!

Firstly I like what Ingrid said about kids being visual. (Though i’m not…[Read more]

Hmm… What I can think of that might help you get yourself more into writing descriptions is to describe things in your POV character’s voice (unless you’re writing in omniscient) so that it shows character as well.

Avoid boring and cliche descriptions and make those sentences just as snappy and quotable as your dialogue. Use…[Read more]

Thank you so much. This means a lot to me.

Sure. Here you go:

Since this story is abandoned, I won’t need a very specific and detailed edit or review. Just some general comments to improve my writing is all I’m looking for. 🙂

Yeah, I was going for a quick pace and…[Read more]

God doesn’t make mistakes.

So true. It’s easy to take for granted how we’re all masterpieces. Thank you for the reminder!

As I was reading your reply, I started praying “Thy will be done.” I shouldn’t expect myself to be something. Who says God will make everything “r…[Read more]

I think it’s all right since you are planning for your protagonist to have character development and a character arc. That your protagonist may not be very likable at the start may in fact be a good thing (because it’s terribly boring to read about impossibly perfect human beings who can do no wrong).

I think most readers can…[Read more]

If a character’s proactive, and strives to accomplish his or her’s goals, they’re going to be mor elikable. If other characters in the story like them (which it sounds like might be part of your…[Read more]

@introvert_girl Right. The emotions in my character should be strengthening them… I’ll try to keep that in mind…

@ethryndal This is for the third book in the trilogy, so I can understand why you’re not seeing it. I think one of the problems might be that I’m focusing too much on characters and not…[Read more]

Part Two: The Bird and her Cake

The Kingdom of Pen did grow weirder and weirder for Jenna, but only gradually. After a few days, ever since she had come, she had met some centaurs, a mermaid, another dragon, a tiger, and even a droid. But the weirdness didn’t exactly just rocket into the air until about three weeks after she had f…[Read more]

Okay, so, can Stan fly) Nope. Sadly, because his wings are small and stubby. He can jump very well though.

How big is he) He’s actually gotten smaller over time (sorry, Stan, I know that’s not what you want to hear.) I picture him about the size of a large armchair.

What color is he)…[Read more]

That’s a good analogy, I think I understand.

It would be disappointing to spend a book getting attached to one character, and believe they’re going to have an important role in the next book, only to find they make a small appearance, and don’t contribute much to the overall plot.

My goodness. xD I don’t think I have a problem wit…[Read more]

@Rochellaine Ohh! Yes, I do, actually. I’ve been listening to Ella Fitzgerald recently. 😀

@notawriter Thank you! I like K.M. Weiland and Lemony Snicket. Also — I have to ask about your username. XD

I haven’t seen fantasy/dystopian/sci-fi mixed that much and I thought it would be a cool idea to do.

I think you’re right! I forgot about the Three Musketeers… Hmm… it’s fine I suppose. I should still probably be able to make this idea work.

Actually, now that I think about it one of my characters could sort of fall into the creepy stalker stereotype rather easily. He’s an artist who thinks of the girl as his muse and spouts…[Read more]

I usually like to start my sequels (I’ve only started one sequel…sooo….) by focusing on a scene that actually entails the villain. What he’s after. Especially if you’re villain has already been introduced in the first book.

I also like to have some sort of initiative on the villain’s part. There’s something needing to be…[Read more]

Hi! Just some tips…

• If events that happened in the previous book are not important, then there is no need to cover them again. Just cover the main points.
• Please don’t have a “nothing happened” time jump between books. Your characters will not seem active if they just sat around for a couple of months/years.
• Weave in a…

Wow!! Thanks 😀 She looks pretty cool (and the tag actually did work the first time, I don’t know why it didn’t go green). Thank you so much!

@introvert_girl I’m not sure I do have a favorite cookie…anything homemade is scrumptious! My all time favorite character is Faramir from Lord of the Rings. He’s so humble and caring, yet still a strong leader. Jean Valjean from…[Read more]

Thanks! I think her hairstyle would be something practical and simple–a bun or a ponytail I think.

Some more normal names might be Esther, Ariel, Cordelia, Lyra, Maia, Nova (fun fact: my mom almost named my little sister Nova!), Astra, Dara, and Elanor.
