@keilah-h

Yeah, I’ve written a couple different stories about Amara before, and it always starts with her eyes becoming slitted. Then afterwards she’d have scales on her arms, then sometimes in her mouth (because of eventual fire-breathing), and by the end of it she’d have wings and stuff.

I’d appreciate the help with the prophecy! I’ve only…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yep, pretty similar to that! As for the dragon traits, (from what I’m thinking so far) it starts out small, until eventually she’s more dragon than she is human. It revolves a lot around the prophecy (which I have yet to write 😅🤣), and I’m still debating as to whether to have them turn back to normal after the events of the book… I…[Read more]

@keilah-h

No, I can totally tell you! Just a warning, it is somewhat of a spoiler, but not hugely. Basically, it means one of her parents was a dragon, and eventually her own dragon traits start to show. (So, BIGGER SPOILER, Amara’s father was a dragon.) I’ll get into how that happened later, because it’s somewhat complicated.

@esther-c

Definitely! I’m a lot better at books where I’ve written the character for a long time, so with these new characters it was somewhat difficult- especially with at least three POVs.

@esther-c

Yeah I noticed that lol. Especially Amara and Kirah I feel like are really similar. I think Tali seems similar at first, but she branches off pretty quickly.

@esther-c

Yeah, Brycen’s gonna be pretty cool. Oh man, if I say anything else it will be a massive spoiler, so I’ll just keep my mouth shut XD

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, Nia probably won’t be huge to the whole story, so that’s good.

I know the young thief is common, but I guess I just wanted to try it out for myself, and just see where it went. As far as I’ve planned out (which is very, very little), he doesn’t stay a thief for long, but it kinda follows him in the long run, if that makes sense.

@felicity

Yeah, I haven’t exactly mapped out what the underground actually looks like, so I’ll have to figure that out at some point. I guess I figured that since it was from Amara’s perspective, I would have it to where Kirah knew Keith pretty well, and trusted him, at least for the most part. But yeah, I definitely need to look at that more,…[Read more]

@awsumfaith

Yeah lol. The downside with pantsing is that, while you can get to some insane page counts, there will be some kind of plothole, or absolutely no ending/arcs at all… I’ve done that a lot. 🤣

@awsumfaith

Aww, thanks! I’ll probably post another soon. 🙂

While most of my WIPs end up getting put to the side at least for a little while, this one can’t really do that, because I’m part of a writing group. Basically I have to get a chapter done at least every two weeks, and that’s pushing it. It helps cause they can catch things like small…[Read more]

@esther-c @janellebelovedpig @keilah-h @thearcaneaxiom @mineralizedwritings  @acancello @all those I’ve forgotten lol

Here’s Brycen’s first POV for Chapter 3:

Brycen ducked under a tent flap, moving swiftly and silently. A black cloak followed behind him, the hood up to hide his face. In his hand was a necklace- expensive, with some kind of…[Read more]

@esther-c

Thanks so much!!! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

Yeah, I figured I’d have to move some stuff around once the drafting was done. But hey, I’ll just surprise myself and magically have double the chapters that way XD

@thearcaneaxiom

Emotions are definitely interesting. You can’t just think all the time, “how would I feel?” because not all people respond the same way as others. So it definitely requires you getting to know your characters…

Oh, and Mary Sue makes a lot more sense now lol.

I, unfortunately, have yet to read much by Brandon Sanderson. I do…[Read more]

@janellebelovedpig

I love part two and three! The storyline is really good, and I’m excited to see where it’s heading. 🙂

Alright! I’m just gonna keep the chapters on here instead of making a different forum, so ignore the name. 🤣

Definitely let me know if Nia went way off the rails… I’m not the greatest at… I don’t know what to call it. Villian writing? She’s not exactly a…[Read more]

@esther-c

👍!!!

@thearcaneaxiom

Thanks! I definitely was kind of experimenting with a lot of different things that I normally don’t do in my writing… Like prophecy, and more POVs than I’m used to. Throughout the next few chapters, more are added in, including the male POV. I think something I’ve also done is made a lot of the characters…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Thanks!!! How to Train Your Dragon is awesome, and your story sounds really cool. 🙂 I’ll tag you when I get the next chapter up!

@felicity

Thanks for the advice! 🙂I think I will go a little wild and do some planning for the next chapters, just to make sure everything stays clear. 🤣

I’ll most likely have chapter two up by the end of the day. Just gonna look over it first, because I’ve been looking at so many WIPs that I kind of got it confused with another… So, I’m just…[Read more]

Random thought rq, Blackhorn’s speech was normally italicized, but it didn’t do that when I transferred it, so that’s why it’s weird. 😅 Thanks to everyone who reads through that lol.

@janellebelovedpig

Thanks!!! 😃

@felicity

Thanks! And I get it, sometimes I even confuse myself with worlds that I built. 🤣

Hmmm…. Good question. I guess I’d…[Read more]

@acancello @janellebelovedpig

And yeah, this is the same Elryn from before, just younger. I just realized I already put him somewhere, and it would be confusing, so… Yeah. 😅🤣 This is a later version, so that last one had his name with an ‘i’ instead of a ‘y’. But the plan is to make a book later about Elryn specifically, which is the scene in…[Read more]
