Yayayayayayyyy!

I’ll definitely be posting on here this weekend!!

@ellette-giselle

Oooh, I like it!! I could definitely feel and experience what Jonathan was feeling and going through.

The only suggestion I would have would be to eliminate some of the passive voice (“The floor was sinking…” “…his brother was on his hands and knees…”). It will tighten up the prose and draw the reader in more.

But that’…[Read more]

Thanks for reaching out, Kefa!! I’d love to chat some more!! 🤗

Hmm… my WIP…

Well, I have a few, but a couple of those have been put on the back burner for now. They were mostly ones written while I was trying to figure out my genre. Which, I’ve decided, is probably gonna be contemporary young adult fiction and histori…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yeah, I mean, it’s really no big deal to me because they’re spelled slightly different (Halle and Hallie), and how they look and act is completely different so they’re very different people in my head. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@the_lost-journal

Ah, she is vengeful and sad. You could give her a little peace at the end; maybe she finds out what truly happened to her husband.

@esther-c lol

My character names are usually pretty unique, but I often source them from people I know or other characters with similar names, and change a letter or two. Or I name them a word that relates to their personality or stick two words that sound good together (that works better for fantasy stories than modern or contemporary ones)

😑😑

@ellette-giselle lolllll I think I saw that meme somewhere before

@ellette-giselle ohhh ok.

She looks great in that pose!

@ellette-giselle ehhhh I have weird conversations here too.

Do you think Linus Smallprint has forgiven us for taking over his chat to discuss the finer points of being obsessed with a character?

@ellette-giselle Emily’s cool. Who or what is she protecting with that gun?

@ellette-giselle lol that last one

I have a charrie who would be the same. “Wear a mask” people say, and then he shows up wearing like a ski mask kind of a thing, and everyone freaks out for an entirely different reason.

@power whaaaaa? lolllll

@ellette-giselle green ember quotes!!

ngl I love the writing in that series. It’s the perfect balance of serious and funny sometimes.

@whalekeeper wowwww that’s a great drawing!!

@the_lost-journal @ellette-giselle pffft that was a weird conversation lol

*Okay, now I am closing this topic of further plank submissions*

*That was the last one, guys*

*Creaks open the door to this topic* *Blows away the dust*

I have a potential idea for a character, someone who falls into a gray antagonistic role. But all that to say, three things need to come across in his character:

1. He needs to be a real threat.

2. He also needs to be likable and fun to watch, preferably one of the most fun.

3. It…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Great!! It took maybe fifteen minutes so I should clean it up a little. My pencil battery died and I used my finger for all the shade blocking 😂
