@dekreel And I just now realized you asked what the idea was. It’s um…complicated, but basically it has to do with preventing the breakout of war and persevering through different trials that my MC goes through. Eventually though, I might share a synopsis, and I’ll tag you. 😀

@dekreel I suppose I get them everywhere. On the internet. I google ____ [fill in the blank for which movie and quote you want] gif. There are also gifs at giphy, but I’ve never been there before. I just have to warn you to be careful, and super specific, because it is, after all, the internet.

@daeus Adios! 😀

@dekreel Well, you are the author. 😀

@dekreel It’s big, but I’m not sure how big though. My previous idea was amazing, and shining like gold, so this one seems a bit more blunt. But I’ll do it anyway!

Ah….you gonna tell me what happens yet? 😉

@Dekreel I’m mostly getting down ideas for my new new novel. 😀 I just got the idea only two days ago.

@perfectfifths Oh, and that GIF is from the Croods. A great movie. Love that movie. 😀

@kate-flournoy @daeus @sam-kowal @perfectfifths @shannon

Thanks guys! All ya’ll advice worked! I now have a story on my hands. 😀

It’s going to be fantasy, and the theme will be perseverance. Thanks all!!! *flies off, barely able to fly cause she’s so excited*

@dekreel I’m here!

@daeus *hands you ice cream* Hey! Good to see you!

@dekreel WAIIITTT!! I’m here now!

Thanks @kate-flournoy and @dekreel! Good advice. 😀 Theme… that’s what I was missing. Thanks Kate! @Dekreel, those are some good things to consider! Thanks!

@kate-flournoy I can’t wait to see you (and @emma-flournoy and the rest of the family) tonight! 😀

Ah, thank you!
This should help a lot.

@aratrea Hey, Josiah!

I recently started a new novel, planning it, at least. And I can’t pick a theme for it. My plot is sorta laid out already, but I can’t find a theme. What should I do?

@dekreel MMMMmmmmmm. 🤐 Whyyyyy?

@dekreel *squints* Hey. I think something happened to the post. What happened to the rest of it? 😛

Seriously though, what’s gonna happen!

@kate-flournoy I’m sorry. *pat shoulder* I don’t know why it has to be stopped, but I’m sorry anyway. There there.

@Dekreel ooh, that’s an unusually flattering representation of me waking up. It usually involves rolling over at least five times and eventually tumbling off the bed tangled in my fleecy blanket (with static hair flying all over the place) and then crawling my way still half asleep to my closet while splitting my ears with yawning and trying not…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper congratulations on branching out. 😉

They’ve covered a lot… the only thing new I have to add is pretty small. You mentioned that you’re tired of writing snarky characters and want to try something different, but had no idea how to go about it…

Why do you like snarky characters in the first place? Is it because they come easy…[Read more]

@Kina-Lamb well, that’s pretty sound as far as I can see. 🙂 The only step I might add between the two is figuring out the theme, but I’ve not done non-fiction before, so I can’t say for certain how majorly that would figure in.

In your place, I would just ask myself, What lesson does this story teach me? To have courage? To persevere? To be kind…[Read more]
