Wow, this is a tough one. I honestly get the struggle, I’m not entirely sure if I’ll have any helpful advice, but here’s just some thoughts.

The first thing I recommend is just to read everything and anything you can find that is a story told from a child’s pov. Especially ones with girls around your character’s age and maybe try to…[Read more]

I must say that I go against the grain and like the powerful villains who don’t have sympathetic backstories and are just evil. Jadis is by far one of my favourite villains because she gives me such chills, particularly in The Magician’s Nephew in the city of Charn. Villains like Mother Gothel from Tangled who are powerful and com…[Read more]

@nanisnook I’m so sorry I missed your sprint!🙁 I hope I can sprint with you next time though!!! <33

@lydia-s Yep, they went great!!! 😀 Thank you!!!! <33

@typewriter77

I think the right theme would emerge once you have a general idea of the characters and how the plot should go. For a short story, perhaps you might want to avoid some of the bigger themes which would require an entire novel to do justice (pun intended).

Since your story is to be a mystery/thriller, one idea that came to me is to…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Oh yes I love it when the antagonist and protagonist mirror each other thematically.

I like unexpected villains (e.g. killer being a child or sweet old lady). I’m also fascinated by villains that have unique and interesting motivations because the power-hungry, petty-jealous-rivalry, s…[Read more]

@lydia-s That’s totally alright!! I understand! 🙂 Thank you, though I haven’t written today yet. I’m going to write my 100 words right now. (I have no idea why I’m waiting late in the day to write!😂) I hope your writing went great!!!!! <33

@lydia-s I’m sorry I missed the sprint.

If anyone is going to be sprinting soon, I’d love to join you! 🙂

@lydia-s

Hey, I’m back! R u you going to be starting again soon? (I saw the post where you said you were on a break.)

@lydia-s

I’ll try to come in after lunch, if you’re still going!!!!! <3333

@faith-q I can do the alphabet in ASL as well, since it’s very occasionally used over here, but that’s about it! And ASL people sign so fast! Auslan is much slower than ASL is 😀 I also very much relate to your feelings on sign language. I adore it as well! I recently spent a whole weekend at a “voice off” event and it was blissful, I loved it and…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Aw thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked it. That story is probably my favourite work out of everything I’ve written.  I actually entered it in a short story competition several years ago and ended up winning the overall prize. It was published in an anthology, but to be honest I’m not sure what copyright laws apply now so I…[Read more]

@typewriter77

Greetings, uh… I used to be the only guy on the forum so… uh thank you? I guess?

Correct me if I’m wrong.

art thou a dude?

@abigail-m

Such a sweet story! It’s kinda cool how something that can be such a hassle for one person can be a dream come true for another.

@relia

He sounds like such a cool character!

Although it doesn’t happened all the time, I love it when I see or meet someone who seems straight out of a fictional world. Everything about them is so…[Read more]

@nanisnook

Girl, I’d love to read your first three chapters!!! EEEEKKK!!!! I actually can’t wait, but I’m super busy today, so I probably won’t be able to get to it tomorrow, if that’s okay!! <3333 🙂 Is there anything specific you’d like me to look for?
