Hi! I have a fantasy WIP and I wanted some feedback on some of it if that’s okay…
Warning: I’m like how Gandalf described hobbits discussing family trees, when it comes to my world; “They can sit upon the edge of ruin and discuss family connections to the ninth degree…” something like that XD
What kind of Wip stuff can I post on this?…[Read more]

*sighs happily* Emotional scenes!!! I love them… 😛
So, a thesaurus is a great place to start when searching for verbs and phrases that describe emotion well (The thesaurus on my computer is my constant companion and regular helper. You might want to consider double-checking the meanings if you use a word from there though, just to…[Read more]

Hi, Lilly! Welcome to the forum! I’m Lydia. 😀
Ah, yes, J.R.R. Tolkien is the best! (In my humble opinion, he was one of the greatest novelists ever. 🙂) Love your signature and profile picture, by the way.
Here are a few questions for you, if you feel like answering them:
1) Who are your top three favorite authors?
2) What is your…[Read more]

Hi, Ariel! Welcome to the forum! I’m Lydia. 😀
Ooo, the genres you write in sound like loads of fun! I’m a dabbler when it comes to writing genres, so I’ve written something in most (Except mystery… Though mystery is a component in my main WIP). I’ve written a short story set in the future, and it was a lot of fun! I might have to…[Read more]

Okay this may sound funny, but I need help with writing about people crying
A lot of it is happening in my current WIP, and I am so sick and tired of the phrases; “Tears welled up-“, “-eyes pooled with tears-” “-eyes misted up” etc.
I’ve tried several new phrases but they all sound ridiculously cheesy.
Help!

HAHA apples are grown up cherries, that is awesome!!! oh man, I remember someone telling me I’d have sprouts grow out of my ears if I ate apples seeds, my sister avoided them like the plague and I ate all the ones I could get, just to be a rebel XD

Elfwing replied to the topic What is your favorite hero and villain rivalry? in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years, 4 months ago
I’d say Rodolpho and Marcello from River of Time series. (it’s a young adult series)
Rodolpho is on the enemy side, but likes the same girl as his old friend Marcello; he kidnaps her, falls in love with her, almost marries her, then minutes before they would have been in an arranged marriage that she didn’t want to be in, Marcello shows up so he…[Read more]
