@e-k-seaver Cool. ;D (I do the same thing, lol.) I appreciate you sharing the article’s conclusion! It allowed me to work out my thoughts on it more concretely, and it’s definitely a valid observation to be considered with everything else. 🙂

Also, if you’re interested: I posted this on the Story Embers forums, too, and Daeus Lamb recommended the…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver That’s true… I personally think it’s unlikely, though. He created humans specifically, giving them alone the breath of life and dominion over the rest of creation. Plus, I feel like creating life-like AI could have an underlying current of trying to be like God, which would be a no-go. And even if not, I don’t think humans have the…[Read more]

@le-williams I know. This is just one of the WIPs where I’d prefer to have more description and to go more in-depth with character voice. There are other stories where it doesn’t bother me as much. 🙂

It’s in 3rd person limited, with several different POVs. A couple of them are easier to get into than others. (Unfortunately, those are the two…[Read more]

@leon-fleming Thank you! 🙂

What was your starting point for the mythology in your main fantasy project? Was there something specific that sparked it?

Ah, yes, Into the Deep was the one I heard about. Was there anything in particular about Greek mythology that caught your attention?

Lost Girl is more of a short story or a novella, actually. I…[Read more]

I’m not much of a linguist (or a cartographer, for that matter… While I used to love fictional cartography, now I tend to make maps only out of necessity since I’m not very good at it. XD), but I definitely love the worldbuilding aspect of fantasy. I find cultures and mythologies especially fun to develop, and I love using them to explore…[Read more]

Oof, I definitely relate to the internet procrastination (and general poor time management) @gracie-j mentioned. That’s a huge one. Sitting down to write is such a difficulty. XP

Also, balancing out my dialogue with description. This one is infuriating because I know I can write strong description. I’ve done all sorts of writing exercises and…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Personally I think it’s other people telling me what to do.

Like, I guess being a writer you see all sorts of writing accounts on social media giving writing advice and things. Not that all writing advice is bad, of course. Personally I feel, however, that writing advice really only applies to beginner writers. I appreciate the…[Read more]

@gracie-j Ahaha thank you XD. I had good teachers. (I don’t know when twelve year olds started looking so tiny. They seem absolutely minute at this point.)

@leon-fleming I was told that the story was pretty much exactly like some show called Into the Woods. And the ideas were all from a prompt, so personally it didn’t feel very original, haha.

…I think this dare was of much less embarrassment for you than for the rest of us. Your writing sounds like something from 90 years ago. In a good way, of course.

@leon-fleming Ahaha thank you XD I might do that in the future after I’m done with all my current story ideas, but I feel that there are too many fairy tale retellings out there. That probably is Mr. Atkinson, judging by what came up when I Googled.

Did you happen to share yours here? I seem to have missed it.

@leon-fleming The enneagram is a personality type system. There are nine types, with various configurations (as evidenced by my long ramble, lol). It’s my personal favorite, since it seems to me the most accurate and helpful of those I’ve learned about.

@gracie-j I think I was 12…yeah, I was twelve. That was the first thing I wrote in creative writing, for a school assignment, haha.

There was a meme I saw somewhere which went like this:

Me when reading my old writing from middle-school:

You guys know that I can write 300 word sentences, right?

Well, I’m not doing that right now. So for you, @e-k-seaver …

They ray of sunlight I latched onto pulled me up and away from there.

I’m not even going to look at it. Once glance has already told me that I had not learned about paragraphs yet.

@leon-fleming LOL. I think the snow globe was inspired by the trailer for the Barbie Nutcracker movie. XD (And then, of course, there are the characters ripped off from The Boxcar Children… and the following stories were rip-offs of Terry Brooks’ Landover books… XD XD)

Yours is really good for a first story! It’s definitely stilted in places,…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver See, I can’t bring myself to trust those things, because I’ve gotten convincingly different results every time. And last time I took it, I was 51/49 for everything except for intro/extra, which was 60/40.

@jenwriter17 Lovely. uh…

Old Man Winter had never seemed so young.

And the following is for whoever was just tagged by Jenna…

@seekerofthetruth Hey there,

Main character/protagonist: Generally when writing stories you’ll write from this character’s viewpoint. There are exceptions, of course, like Gatsby from The Great Gatsby and Ahab from Moby Dick. But generally the protagonist of the story would be the narrator. Examples would be Percy Jackson from Percy Jackson an…[Read more]

@gracie-j Will do! 🙂 (I actually have a lot of enneagram blogging stuff planned for the semi-near future, lol.)

I’m instantly inclined to say 4. Maybe with a 3 wing. I can also maybe see 7? But I think probably 4. (And a 4 would integrate to 7, so it’s possible that’s where the 7 comes in. Or it could be in his tri-type.)
