Ack, I thought you would say that. I’ve been thinking also of a way to develop a bit more with her. I’m kinda distracted with the other stuff going on and thought I would drop it for now and come back. after all, this is my very rough draft. But yes, she is under developed.
And lastly, this is just an idea that popped…

I agree with @theshadow, I would love to see more of how Marcus and Flavia’s relationship develops rather than just being told that it did. I also feel like I don’t know Flavia very well- I know you describe her when Marcus is thinking about her and talking to Caius, but I want to see it in her rather than just be told it about…[Read more]

Update
It’s now about 9:40, and I am beginning to regret this. I’m hitting some writer’s block and stuff. I already ended up breaking one of my own rules half by accident and half on purpose. I ate breakfast at 8:30 abouts, and took a break because my eyes were hurting from the computer screen (and the the hrs sleep started to kick in and I don’t…[Read more] -

You have no idea how happy that makes me to know that someone is looking forward to reading more of the story!!!

Ok y’all, next chapter!!!
Chapter 7
Marcus walked with slow steps back toward the City of the Dead. He had known that something like this could happen, but he had hoped beyond hope that it wouldn’t. Part of him had even believed that Julius would listen, see the error of their old ways, and readily join him. The two of them could have done s…[Read more]

yup. editing is going well, but I had to stop and go back to writing because Marcus was sad that he was being ignored. lol.

Ok, here’s my picture. I forgot I hadn’t posted it until I noticed it on my desktop. lol.
Hope I got close to what you were envisioning. I don’t have a scanner so it’s a photo. sorry about the bad quality.

Oh I’m so glad you like it!!!!! No it didn’t come off as rude, I just thought maybe there was a reason, like you had critiques you needed time to think through or something. I also pulled off a little because…. I don’t know, I guess I didn’t want anyone to feel like I was monopolizing their time. I have been told I have a gift for…[Read more]

Ellette Giselle replied to the topic Writing Challenge in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 2 months ago
Yes, should I not?
I went back and did a bunch of the edits y’all suggested and then I’m working on the next chapter. I want the book to be on the shorter side this time, but i’m trying to not rush things.

Ellette Giselle replied to the topic Writing Challenge in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 2 months ago
Wow! That’s even more daring then me! lol.
I’ve been writing since five and didn’t even think to take a look on here cause I didn’t think anyone was awake.
I’ll have to leave around noon, but I’ll be writing straight through, no brakes, until then.

Update
After learning that we had to leave for something between 15:00 and 15:30, I decided to begin writing at 2:00 so that I’d have a better chance of reaching my goal (cuz we may not return home until 19:00 to 20:00, I’m not sure.) It is currently around 5:30 and I have got over five thousand words added, and a good chunk of editing done in a…[Read more] -

WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME
Because I’m a writer.
Or it could be payback for your sad prologue and first chapter.
Jkjk
I will update you if Terry forgives Estelle, so you can be happy again (or maybe post a Tenz scene).

Ruth replied to the topic Writing Challenge in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 2 months ago
Welcome! Great to have you join!
Yeah, I also have to stop between 15 and 15:30 cuz we’re taking a family friend somewhere.
So, hopefully I can actually do 12 hours. I will sincerely try.

Ruth replied to the topic Writing Challenge in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 2 months ago
I think I’m gonna start July off tomorrow by attempting to write for twelve hours. Not straight but twelve hours in total.
If anyone wants to join me, this is what I plan to do:
- Get up around 4 am EST, maybe earlier.
- Get a huge glass of lemon water and some giant pretzels from Unique Snacks to munch on.
- Start typing.
- Breaks are allowed,…

Oh…he’s Alpha and Silkana’s son so…
Silkana is about 95% Fettian naga and the rest is human. Alpha is around half Grathmere with some of Nahim’s blood and who knows what else.
If I get a chance I’ll try to post the naga part, but idthink it’d help you much. Tenz basically looks human besides the oddities I mentioned in…[Read more]

This is the second and true ending to Secret Shame. I apologize for any typos and grammatical mistakes, I haven’t edited it much and don’t really intend to, since this part will never be published.
Estelle stood upon the tips of her toes, stroking her long, Realn festival braid. Her turquoise eyes scanned the crowd, looking for a singular young m…
