I would consider getting out a blank doc or piece of paper and writing what you know about the story on it. Sometimes it’s definitely hard to know where to go after scenes, and knowing the main goal of your story and what’s going to happen will help. I used to just write whatever I felt like, but for TCOH I’ve actually figured out a…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Awesome, thanks!!

I also didn’t know what was in the Pale Forest biome, so that was interesting.

@keilah-h

Girl, I spawned in that seed and nearly had a heart attack. XD I am not used to playing video games and I got serious motion sickness, but that spawn is super cool and I want to build one of those towers in BotW where you can’t see the bottom.

@ellette-giselle

*Ellette proceeds to give her whole process without hesitation*

XD You know what, I’ll take it.

And, write at least 500 words a day. I know that’s not much, but making sure you touch your draft every day,

See, 500 words is easy, but sometimes I finish and realize the trajectory is all wrong. That means if I pick up from there, t…[Read more]

I have become used to traumatized bois, tbh I was not surprised XD

@theshadow

*Thinks hard* Well for me, while watching movies or reading, each scene has a character decision in it, or at least it reveals something new about a character. In this way, it’s like each scene has a mini plot point that sets up the new status quo for the next scene.

For example: Scene 1: Joe debates between two scenarios, and decides…[Read more]

He’s killed several times.

Oki, got him right on the alignment chart then

And yeah, I’m good if the library group are up at the crack of dawn. Makes sense if they’re studying.

Alright moving on, let’s get this day wrapped up

@loopylin

Seb

“Shift’s up!”

One of the kitchen hands yelled in their direction, causing all three kids to jump. Soap suds fluttered to the floor.

Seb dropped what he was about to say. He grabbed the puppy and handed it to Ellie, covering it with a towel. “We don’t want to lose him, right? You…[Read more]

@koshka

*Sighs extremely loudly and dramatically* I feel you, girl. Life is too complicated to be thinking about complicated stories.

@linus-smallprint Looks good!! You can definitely scan a drawing in, although you may want to do some research to make sure it translates smoothly to digital.

@loopylin

I’m good with moving a day forward, if I can roleplay Barnes concluding this side-adventure first. :] I’ll get to it in the next couple hours.

I’m assuming your story is at least the normal level of serious. Like, it might be funny at times, but it’s not a comedy as the whole point, right?

@grcr you’re welcome! Honestly, your original art style wasn’t THAT bad, but I’m assuming Roblox-y characters wasn’t the original intent of your story, so the new one does serve to humanize them and make them more believable in a serious story.

That’s kinda weird and made more sense in my head, but ehh.

@linus-smallprint Awesome cover! And Ellette is right–most drawing programs I know allow you to add a picture to your canvas and trace over it. I’ve done it lots of times.

@loopylin

He doesn’t actually want to kill anyone, but he’s a walking disaster so the middle works, lol

Yep

Rory totally looks like a cinnamon roll. I mean, I haven’t seen a picture of him, but he totally gives off cinnamon roll vibes

I also debated the ‘could actually kill you’ because could he actually? My sister said Rory would pop emotional…[Read more]

And y’all, you’re able to like, give me critiques for these. I just meant I didn’t need super precise, line-by-line edits since I’m going to rewrite this stuff eventually. So if you have input, please share it.
