I don’t think I have anything to add. Godly, HybridLore, Solfyre, and Miley covered it all.
I really like your theme, btw. 😉
So, I haven’t written sci-fi (tho I tried when I was like ten or something XD) but from writing fantasy and dystopian, I can give ya few pointers.
First of all, read in that gen…[Read more]

Awesome! I’m so glad that could help. Yeah, I get it. I’ve been a fantasy writer longer than I’ve done sci-fi, and now I love both. I actually kind of built my world so I could have both sci-fi and somewhat-animal protagonists, so that’s been amazing to write so far. Well, if you ever decide you want any more sci-fi help,…[Read more]

Yeah I just have KP lol
Yep, Sorren’s great! I’d say I like Dune and Sorren in different ways, is the hard part, so I could never really decide.
Trust me, young Podo is great. And yeah, 100 Cupboards was really good, but if you ever read it, be prepared because a lot of names are really similar. The author made it that way on…[Read more]

Hey! I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Solfyre. Love your profile pic btw, wolves are the best! 🙂
So, I don’t have a lot of information here, but for sci-fi as a whole, there are a few important things you have to think about. One, like in fantasy, is worldbuilding. It’s a huge aspect. In sci-fi, there are going to be different…[Read more]

You’re welcome! Maybe I should write a book on tips…
Tip 1, write cliffhangers for motivation…
Tip 2, in romance, no sap, just make people smile…
Lol okay I’m done XD
Yeah it is kind of weird, right? But I think it’s to help writers that maybe aren’t allowed on social media stuff at all, maybe. Idk.
Me too! So, Naria it is!…[Read more]

GASP I love that so much!!! I like dystopian stories in general but that’s just awesome. I love the names too!
Yep, I’ve posted my WIP Healer. (I will keep my rant as short as possible XD) So, there are five races- the Lupinari (based off wolves), Arcanin (based off bears; they have magic, symbolized by the stars on their…[Read more]

Ava Murbarger (Solfyre) replied to the topic My WIP in the forum Novel Critique Requests 3 years, 4 months ago
Random thing, while I’m thinking about it…
For Healer, (and for the series I’m hoping to make out of it) I’m doing a POV from first-person present. It’s been different, because I usually write in past tense. I was trying to think of a way to add that style into this fantasy world.
So… My idea was, a story collection from this…[Read more]

Ava Murbarger (Solfyre) replied to the topic My WIP in the forum Novel Critique Requests 3 years, 4 months ago
Ahaha! Maybe that’s the real trick of relationships in a story… Not exactly being all sappy, but making people smile. (lol perfectly worded I’m so trademarking that XDXD)
Yes! We are Hybridlore and Solfyre, the weird pantser duo! 🤣🤣 I might’ve mentioned this before but I love your username. Lol part of the reason I used Solfyre as…[Read more]

Right!? lol
Lol my brainstorming process is all over the place rn. She would be another soldier helping them in their mission to free the prisoners. I always call her Naria in my head, because I randomly thought of that name and wasn’t sure where to use it (I know it sounds like Narnia but whatever XD). I picture her with dark…[Read more]

Ava Murbarger (Solfyre) replied to the topic My WIP in the forum Novel Critique Requests 3 years, 4 months ago
Yes, definitely! XD
Same! My brother always rolls his eyes at me. Whenever I’m writing a scene I like I just end up grinning for what seems like no reason lol.
Also… I’ve thought about having a love interest for Sorren. What do you think about that? It would be another Lupinari, because we can’t have everyone become halflings XD

Cliffhangers are now the best proven method of motivation XD
And yes! Now Dune and Rina have to be a thing lol. One thing: I now have to learn how to write relationships… Eventually. Maybe. We’ll see XD

Interesting thing. The username Solfyre is based off of a couple characters. Sol is a dragon in my WIP Finding the Light. Fyre is the guardian of another realm they have to journey to in the book.
The tag KyrontheArcanin is a character in Healer, too, but to tell you who he is would be a MAJOR spoiler, so I’ll hold back XD

I’ve written backstory and stuff before, but I can’t say I’ve done much writing ahead. IÂ know I haven’t done any in Healer, because it would probably help.
So… I’ll definitely have to try that. 😉
