@jess I got another verse written and my sister and I are plotting for a story idea that we are working on together. 🙂

@jess Yes, I can write for half an hour. Ready…set…write!!!
@dragon-snapper Glad you like it.

@jess Yes, I can write for half an hour. Ready…set…write!!!

@overcomer @bluejay Sorry, sorry. I know that dragon’s can be creepy from time to time. :l I’ll have to do a picture prompt sometime. I’ve never tried one, but being a visual learner, it might work well. It’s just TOO funny! See ya!
@jess Sorry, but it’s 9 and too much screens hurt my head.
@bluejay I love it! It’s perfect. 🙂 😀

@jess Let me see and I’ll get back to you. I might continue or well….I guess I might not. 🙂 I’ll let you know.
Btw @overcomer & @dragon-snapper I got four verses written for a poem about a dragon. (Here is one I wrote just for you @dragon-snapper)

With no place to sit, ‘cept on the floor.
Our hearing goes due to her roar.

Me too, @Jess. 🙂

@jess I just thought I’d hunt up a few names for you, as you seemed to be struggling. (that doesn’t mean you can’t use Tessa. I don’t mind. 🙂 )
Girls: Natalie, Rosa, Alyssa, Colleen, Kaylee or Kayla, Amber, Cassidy (Cass) Mya or Mia.
Boys: Jax, (I like that one) Tyler, Dylan, Kyle, Carlos, Cody or Coby, Derek, Xavier (pronounced with a Z at the…[Read more]

Okay, so for me futuristic names are short and sweet, like Star Wars.
…I know that I’m asking a lot of questions, but do you want name suggestions or name type suggestions??? Sorry…
@jess

OK @Jess, I know this is way late, but I had an option for the name Tess. If you’re really stuck on that general name than you could use the name Tessica and have Tess be a once-in-a-while nickname.

Just a thought 😉

@Mark-Kamibaya @Jess

Remember: Premise is what makes the readers pick up the book. Plot is what keeps them reading. Character is what makes them pick up the book a second time. And for the record I find that I always remember the characters most.

Yes, yes, yes.
So much this.

Hey @Jess! I’ll make this post a little shorter. The updated concept sounds much better but there’re some things I noticed.

Concept: Having an original concept is hard isn’t it? Yeaah. Well there’s “nothing new under the sun.” We’re just remixing ideas. So don’t be too worried about one part of your story sounding like one series and another part…[Read more]

Gotcha @Jess.

I’m thinking that instead of the typical overthrow, they reconcile in some exciting, entertaining way.

That is an extremely creative idea! That could be so good; I can’t recall having seen it in a story before.

And I 200% agree with your philosophy for dealing with your ideas already being taken—‘Well, I’ll just have to make min…[Read more]

@julia-r So you approve of shape-shifting? *wags eyebrows* Some readers don’t, but I’ve used it in one fantasy story so far. I’d love to do a dragon/person shapeshifter sometime, though that’s been done before in more than one place. My own shapeshifter was a bit…subtler. 😉

@Jess, well, everyone else has been asking plenty of valid questions,…[Read more]

@Jess, that sounds like a terribly wonderful idea about the inventor. I love it!!

And being a “let’s see how this goes” type of writer is great sometimes, because sometimes neater ideas come as you go, rather than all planned out. 🙂

And if I know what, tell you? Where the inventor is?
Haha, well that’s for you to find out, I guess. 😀

So how l…[Read more]

@jess I would love to read this! Your description has already tagged me (besides the fact that you tagged me in the first place). Now, when you ask for name help, are you referring to naming of the characters, settings or book title?

@jess: superpowers is such a trending movie/book topic right now. Because, let’s face it: superpowers are great, and we all wish we had them. (Oh, and according to several quizzes I’ve taken, I have the ability to create ice, force fields, and can make myself invisible. Yeah, it comes in handy.) And, because that genre is so popular, and so many…[Read more]

Looks like you’ve got it almost figured out, @jess! @emma-flournoy, good points. Maybe, the reason for having only five descendants is a one-child-per-family law sort of like China, to ensure a steady birth/death rate and to prevent over-population and famine. Your world reminds me of The Giver, by Lois Lowry. Not saying you can’t use that world…[Read more]

This sounds really neat, @Jess.

Question: do all five of the kids each have all five abilities? I didn’t think so, but the way you said it in this post made it sound that way.
Also, why are there only five kids? If the original testers have had kids, did they only have one each—and how many years has it been?
If there are only five, why would…[Read more]
