Ah, yes, I understand. Honestly, I don’t really use maps. The places in my worlds pop into existence as I need them. It’s probably not the best way to make geological decisions, but it’s what I’ve done so far. 😉 I’m totally going to check out that website @daisy-torres mentioned though… it sounds awesome!!!

@e-k-seaver

Agh, this is such a tempting offer! Unfortunately, my plate is kinda full right now, so I don’t think I’d be able to get it done by the deadline. 🙁  I hope you get the feedback you’d like! Congrats on finishing a novel!

And, @gracie-j, thanks for tagging me!

@nova21

lol I may or may not feel very similarly about some of my characters… 😉

@nova21

I’m late (this is a theme in my commenting life rn… *facepalm*), but here are a couple of my MCs’ first lines. As a side note, BRILLIANT idea.

These two say their first three lines in the same scene and to each other. First, there’s Trevor, a moody, brooding bully (cinnamon roll type guy, though he doesn’t know it at the moment). Then,…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Oh, this looks lovely! Thank you for the invite. Hopefully, I’ll be able to read it sometime soon! <33

@zatara

Welcome to the forum!

*cheers* Another pineapple pizza person, yay! And I have to agree with your assessment of Narnia vs. LOTR. Tolkien wins, hands down (He is likely the author I admire most), but I also am and forever will be a Narnia nerd. 😛

Now for the customary welcoming questions:

1) What is your favorite mythical animal?

2)…[Read more]

@akbaer

Welcome to the forum, Annika!

I wholeheartedly approve of your hobbies as I myself enjoy all three of those things! And your book choices are also wonderful (J.R.R. Tolkien is probably the writer I admire most).

Fantasy is very fun to write and to read! Have you by chance read the DragonKeeper Chronicles by Donita K. Paul? It’s a…[Read more]

@maryg3

Oh, wonderful! Til We Have Faces is super good. Ah, I see. I’ve flipped through the first book virtually, but hopefully, I’ll actually get around to reading them someday. 😉

No, I have no read that one! I’ll have to do that someday, though.

Wow, he sounds extremely well written! (And don’t worry. I’m 16 and I still enjoy flipping…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

If you have the resources, go for it!  No regrets! 😉  If it totally flunks, don’t sweat it.  If it turns out to be the best choice you could have made, yay you! <33 (I think a yt channel would work well for that)

@joy-caroline

Awesome topic, I LOVE this kinda stuff!

Hmmm….  *ponders over which best most devastating character lie to use*

Enter Dylan.  He believes he can’t be loved.  He wasn’t loved or appreciated by his father as a boy, and then he witnessed his mother’s death, which scarred him.  He put all his worth into MMA fighting but didn’t thi…[Read more]

@abigail-m

I’ll check it out!

@e-k-seaver

That’s so cool, I had no idea either! 😀

XD I think I should!

Hi!! I just wanted to say thank you all again for taking some of your time to read my friend’s story and leave a comment!!!! 😀 I wanted to let you know that she made it on the finalists’ list for Havok’s anthology!!! https://gohavok.com/2021/08/01/prismatic-anthology-finalists-aka-long-list/#comment-11547 I know…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

Ahhh!  I’m at chapter seventeen and I just can’t stop!  This book is well-written, intriguing, and TOTALLY PUBLISHABLE!  Make it happen, Emily.  This needs to be published.

I just can’t stop thinking about how amazing this is!  I don’t know how many times I’ve laughed out loud…  (and I seriously almost cried once!)  And the chara…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

Got it!  So excited, I’ll check it out later today.

@lydia-s

Bahahaha!  I know, me toooooo!  My sister was really annoyed about how much I was gushing about Dylan… he’s just so amazing!  If I could bring any of my charries to life, it’d be him (and then I’d marry him!) XD XD XD

@godlyfantasy12

Thank ya kindly!  <3  Ooo, cool!  I’d say Corvina might be a conflicted character, and Arabella might be a really sweet, friendly personality.  Am I right? XD

@kathleenramm

Girl, I’d totally read this!  Totally keep writing… GO GO GO! 😉

@anatra23

Thanks!  I know, it’s kinda weird to see the dialogue out of context.  But th…[Read more]
