*Whimpers*

Maps? I tried. I really did.

*Screaming intensifies*

Yeah, I probably need to find some natural boundaries I can stick in. I’m not trying to be Tolkien. I just don’t know where to make it stop.

Not that I don’t love it at the same time…..

@keilah-h

It’s okay Keilah. The other day I called one of my characters something like “my little wolf child” and “baby”.

My older sister looked at me with this blank stare and asked who I was talking about because “Isn’t he the soldier?”

And then what if… if theresafoodcalledshoemashandyoudon’tknowwhybutyoumadeitupanditsoundsdelicousandnowyouhavetothinkofareasonbecauseyourfamlythinksit’snastysoundingso-

It’s porridge, but the “everything but the kitchen sink kind” and is delicous.

@whalekeeper

Ahhhhhhhhhhh yesss…… It never ends …..

I actually really need to flesh out some of my cultures on these lines, but then there’s the cultures inside bigger cultures, and the random pockets of society, and this is just one tribe?!

*Screams into pillow in a mixture of pure joy and pain*

@keilah-h

Especially Sniper’s and Demo’s, which I’ll show later if you want.

I’m intrigued

Also, I respect your bravery to post old drawings. I tried to do that once…and I backed out before pushing the “submit” button

@keilah-h

Great! Perfect!

I’ll see what I can do.

I often draw in the evenings while hanging out with my big brother, and all I can think about rn is what he’s gonna say when he sees what I’m drawing, and now I’m gonna explain myself lol

@keilah-h

and a weird amount of bread

Why do I have a suspicious feeling that Soldier is involved?

Let me guess, he’s teleporting bread to create bread monsters?

Lol, that was one of the best moments ever.

I’m dead rn for what I want to draw so I’ll give it a shot drawing the scene. No promises that you’ll like it, I’m bad at wings, and at…[Read more]

And most of that you probably already knew, but there it is. You said “character arcs” and I got excited. XD Sorry.

@trailblazer

First off, that story sounds incredibly intriguing. Not your average story, and maybe one that you can use to deal with things most people deal with, but don’t talk about.

For developing character arcs, I would suggest you 1. Find a message, 2. Find a flaw that corresponds and fits the character uniquely 3. Determine what the…[Read more]

@koshka
Yes, that is me. 100%

Baron (Brutus)—Ben Gunn, Flare, Ellis, trying to find Fel and Brea (I think I got that right)

Brutus hesitated in following the others. The soldiers were terrified of these creatures. He held his scarf up over his nose and mouth. His eyes followed the disappearing forms of his companions. He could use his wind to…[Read more]

Could you give me some more description on these teens?

@rae

Ah yes. Some writers talk about their super organized notes, and I’m just like “I have a head. And some notes here…or maybe over there…”

I…worldbuild in the dark at night usually (I have trouble sleeping) and I rarely, if ever, actually write a comprehensive thing on my world, I just scribble things on random sheets of paper or in notebooks that I then loose in the sea of notebooks that I have already.

Yeah, I need to change some of my writing habits.

@raxforge

I’m not sure what a good process is, but here’s basically what I do.

I have a doc for each of my series that is mostly just notes about the characters, the plotline, and a bunch of random culture things. And then I’ve scribbled some things down in notebooks, but I haven’t kept up with those so I don’t really know if I have that stuff…[Read more]

I talk about it to my siblings. XD And I keep an eye open for ideas. For instance, while at a funeral I realized I didn’t know my charrie’s traditional burials. Flash forward to when I ran across some archeology, and I decided to hunt for ideas. Now I have a detailed burial system depending on the place and/or culture in the world. Same thing…[Read more]

Thanks for joining, y’all! It was awesome to kinda actually meet you.

May your words flow easily into your WIPs and all characters do as they should.

@theducktator

haha! I think it may have more been like loaded shotguns in plain view……………. lololololol. And a lot of protesting.

This can be a wild town because you have the super political people, and then you have the old school farmers and such.
