Ах! Сестра, you don’t know how happy you made me, seeing Cyrillic in a conversation. Or rather you probably do, you being a language learner yourself… *Happy sigh*

Do you get this thrill when you hear/see the language your learning? It makes me so excited. 😊

I shall definitely have to check her out. Most of what I know of what’s goin…

@koshka

I am using Save the Cat, and yes. I am a plotter. Most of my ideas come at night too! Maybe that’s just how they work. *Shrug*

I’ll probably try that and at least see where it takes me. Hopefully it’ll get me writing again, instead of ignoring the utter chaos of my characters’ lives. Thanks for the advice!

@koshka ah, are you using save the cat? That’s honestly what I use the most. Truthfully I’m a Plantser, a cross between a plotter and a pantser, so a lot of things come as I go along. Not even as I’m drafting…considering I’m not even drafting much rn XD, it’s honestly come to me from daily life, a lot of times at night when I’m lying in bed lol. I…[Read more]

@koshka

My own research? Who, me? *Dramatically points to myself*

Yes you, дорогой друг! 😀

Hehehe…I’m supposed to be writing fantasy…they said I didn’t need a lot of real life knowledge… *Hides stack of books behind my back*

*Laughs smugly* well since you’re just writing fantasy, and don’t have ANY research to do, you have LOTS of time to rese…[Read more]

Sooo, my plot hole!! Yay! *Grins nervously*

So, in my new book, There’s two siblings. 13 year old Asher and 16 year old Iris. The story opens with them living at a foster home/orphanage/something like that. And they hate it. Especially Asher. Then…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I must ask, is this a fantasy? Or more historical-ish fiction and what not?

It’s a mix of both. I don’t like research, but history has some great ideas I like to use. But of course, there’s a bit of fantasy too, like the dragomoth and other mythical creatures. Thanks for your help btw 🙂

@elishavet-pidyon

First, do you need a name…

@koshka

Hmm…I think I’d have them escape a few days after Russia invades, that way you can show a glimpse of what it’s like, but not take it too far or make it too long.

Ok yeah I’ll stick with that. 😀 Thanks!!

Reliable info on Russia in modern day is a little difficult to find, and unbiased info is practically impossible. If you need help with…

Yes, Nyx is a creature I’ve made, not just a fennec fox!

Actually, he is A Nyx. That’s the name of his species (as they know it). The full term has been dubbed Nyxillium Tricksi…[Read more]

Here are some themes for my characters:

Ludwika: coming of age, taking responsibility for your actions, submitting to the authority in your life (her dad), learning who God is.

Nataliya: dealing with fear and grief, learning determination and loyalty.

Piotr: overcoming set backs in a mature way, (not acting out to get attention),…[Read more]
