@kathleenramm Haha! That story sounds intriguing though. I would have totally loved that when I was younger XD
Sooo, once I wrote a story about a girl that was an orphan during world war 1 (or two?). She lived in the alleys, and one day, while looking for food in the local garbage dump, she discovered a world full of fairies and tiny people that…[Read more]

@madelyn Haha! I can definitely be the same way with YouTube XD I try to set a time limit for myself so I don’t lose myself in the ‘YouTube spiral’ XD
Dude sameee about being excited by glass/water/smoke/light/stars etc XDD You would like the book I’m working on probably, because I try to play off of ‘aesthetic’ descriptions like those a lot XD…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting
True. Where do all those Eastern Dragons be tho?True. True. I actually liked the three introductions when I first read it too. I thought it was a deliberate poke at all the fantasy clichés. I hoped the story would be a somewhat fun yet heartfelt parody of the common fantasy stories. However, the rest of…[Read more]

Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin replied to the topic How do I make a non-cliche escape scene? in the forum Plotting 4 years, 3 months ago
I have written quite a few escape scenes in my lifetime (the very nature of my stories require it to be so), and cliche escape scenes are one of my pet peeves in stories, so I think that I have a few tips that I can help you with.
First, what constitutes a “bad escape scene”?
1. It’s super easy, and it makes the villain look weak
2. It’s…[Read more] -

@devastate-lasting Of course!!! Aww, that’s unfortunate. Have you tried Wattpad? I did that some years back and had a lot of success with it (Sadly, they kept shoving a lot of romance books in my face, so I pulled my books off and deleted my account, but the community aspect of it was a lot of fun, and I connected with a lot of great readers and writers!)

Daisy Torres replied to the topic Which story was the quickest to write and which was the slowest? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 3 months ago
6 years??? I can’ttt. My longest story took me 4 years, and surprisingly, it was a novella XD Later on, I wrote a much longer story that only took me 2 years!
(It’s published now, by the way)I still haven’t figured out why one took so much longer, but I entered Crazy Writing Week with the second, where I wrote like 20k in a week, so that mayyy…[Read more] -

@faith-q That is a very good question, and one I’ve asked myself a few times haha.
To answer your question, I would look in the Bible.
Esther defied Haman, who wasn’t a king, but he was apart of the rulership in the monarchy. She played a major role in having him executed.
All throughout the old testament, (which, granted, things are different…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Your silence speaks volumes. You HAVE read it before, Linyang. You just chose to give yourself amnesia so you didn’t have to continue having nightmares about it. Smart choice. Any tips for self induced amnesia? Oh yeah, you wouldn’t remember.
And thanks for your blessing. I’ll need it.

I don’t like anime. It’s too nerdy for me. I’m not a cringe weeb. I’ve moved on to greater things.
That said, I only like Attack on Titan.
And maybe Full Metal Alchemist.
And To Your Eternity.
And Erased.
And Death Note.
And The Promised Neverland.
And Your Lie In April.
And Hunter X Hunter.
But other than that, there definitely isn’t any…[Read more]
