@waterlily Oh wow. This sounds so awesome. I would totally read this.

@overcomer Great. 😀

Here’s a doc for you. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BIHK8v-ag07-tPraj6QWrbf_BVN2P_PjySIw87Ljfyg/edit?usp=sharing

@sleepwalkingmk oh HEY ADORA!!! So cool to see you here! And you’re an MK? Somehow I totally missed that before. XD

@itisastarrynight that sounds way too awesome! I love that idea!

Ohh @itisastarrynight you cannot imagine how helpful this is for me. It’s like the biggest AHA moment ever. Okay. Thank you, thank you, a million times over. Everyone’s advice is finally making sense. That MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. Seriously. You’re totally awesome now. 😉 (not that you weren’t before, but I just got a taste of that awesomeness for the…[Read more]

@sage-g  Since SeekJustice commented, I might as well comment, too:

Your sister is AMAZING! WOW! If I ever get around to those illogical children’s books that I started when I was thirteen, I am SO asking her to illustrate them!

@daughteroftheking  @ingridrd  I love those names!!!!!

@rochellaine  *talking to self* She likes Adric…. SHE LIKES ADRIC!!!!!!!!! Sorry, Adric is a Dr Who character’s name, and you know how we Whovians are……..

@rochellaine This is the bestiest! *flailing* Here are some names I’ve dreamed up but will never use:

Ero

Driana

Romanique ( roh-man-EEK. I don’t know if this is a boy’s name or a girl’s…)

Ivari

Larik

Arax

Railos

Evina

@rochellaine  Great idea!!!  I have a few…

Girls: Lenna, Mern, Andraya

Boys: Den, Boren, Remiro (rem-EAR-oh)

Kinda weird, but…*shrugs*.

@skredder  *starts chanting* Write it, write it, write it, write it…!  This has the makings of a brilliant story.  🙂

@radically-surrendered my friend gave me permission. So here’s a few pictures. XD

…….That was weird……..

TAKE TWO! *claps clapperboard*

Thanks @rochellaine!  I might actually use some of those for my novella! (assuming I ever get back to it……)

Anyway, can I drop in some names, too?

Girls (I got these from a book, mostly)

• Airow
• Aine
• Altair
• Ashe
• Vekka
• Cleo
• Dae
• Dove
• Elke
• Fae
• Faune
• Ginger

@aratrea  Yep, @rochellaine is right! Outside of the topic, before Rochellaine posted, it SAID I posted recently, but my post is gone!

Spam?! Hmmm, that makes sense, actually. It’s happened about three times, and all of those times, I remember that the posts were pretty long. This one was long, too.

If it helps, here is another place where it…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 I don’t recommend making your story short just to write a short story. Make the story as long as it should be. A story should be short when the concept, plot, etc are simple enough that a short story is all that is needed; a story should be long when the concept, plot, etc need more room to flourish.

Setting is important for any…[Read more]

@gh24682468999

Heh. You tagged me.

Welp, writing short stories is actually really difficult for me. The only thing harder than writing a short story for me is coming up with a character’s name. XD

But I’ll give you what advice I can from the few successful times I’ve written or read short stories.

So, if you do have a big story world, don’t…[Read more]

@waterlily  This does sound like a neat concept! The only thing that doesn’t quite make sense to me is how the seawyrms could have her family crest marked on them? Am I just misunderstanding? Of course, when you go to write this you can definitely explain in better detail. XD

@aella Sounds like my fourteen year old brother. XD Yeah, just try to make it sound as logical and straightforward as possible.

I asked my brother for advice, and he said that what he found logical and made sense was the story-structure database on KM Weiland’s website. Because it probably uses books/movies that he is already familiar with. And…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 I am getting into writing short stories right now, so I want to see what advice everyone else gives you. 🙂

Yeah, I would advise not really making the world super developed, and with lots of back story and such. With the setting, I really don’t know. It possibly could add a lot, and be important to your story, but I’m really not…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 do you have the link to that post by chance?

@aratrea thanks for that advice. It’s so encouraging and helpful. 🙂

@itisastarrynight Nice! What is your WIP about? I love fantasy so much. And a homeschooler too. Totally awesomeness! KP does seem pretty great. 🙂

@emily-d I love literature, English, and grammar. That is just the best part of it. How about you? I do like animals! Especially cats. Yes, animals are pretty cool. I love horses, dogs, and birds.…[Read more]
