Karissa Chmil replied to the topic Developing A New Story Idea! (Help? XD) in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years ago
Ooh. . . sounds interesting! A few questions after reading through your idea so far. . .
- What happened to their dad? Is he playing a part in the story? And if he never really makes it into the scene, do the siblings have any kind of mentor characters?
- What causes these abilities to show themselves right then? Is there…

Ooh, this sounds awesome! <3
I’ll be going with Scarlet for this one, I think.

2. “What if I don’t want to be alone. . . or being with people? What if I’m terrified of being surrounded by people but just as terrified when…[Read more]

Karissa Chmil replied to the topic Some questions about characters in the forum Characters 4 years ago
Is there a character (from a WIP or a fandom) that you don’t like, but you don’t hate either?
Ohhhh, yes. Plenty. A few that come to mind are Lilah (Tuesdays at the Castle), Ron (Harry Potter), and Atretes (Mark of the Lion series).
Pick a character, from a WIP or a fandom, then say that character is hanging off the edge of a cliff, abo…

Hmmmmm. . . so many people. XD Community is such an important part of writing. . . let’s see if I can summarize it at all.
1. My mom – She’s always been so supportive of my writing, and she does as much as she can to get me connected with various resources/supporting the time I spend writing. . . she’s amazing.
2. My best friend – We’ve both…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Whoa, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 😀 It was enjoyable to read, and I LOVE the rhyme you had going on!!!!! FANTASTIC poem, girl!!!!!! 😀
My only suggestion is that it seemed like there needed to be a period between “dreams” and “Pitch” in this part –> “shattered dreams, Pitch black“.

Lin replied to the topic Some questions about characters in the forum Characters 4 years ago
1. Plenty.
2. For any of them probably just number 4.
3. Worst, like, most evil or worst written? I feel like I’ve read/watched a lot of awful villains, but I can’t really think off the top of my head the most evil.
4. A lot, haha, but then I warp them enough that no one can recognise them.

Hey, writers!
At the moment, I’m re-reading Francine River’s Mark of the Lion series (sooooo good, but research it first since it does deal with some very dark things). And I’m noticing something again – she head hops like crazy.
And states the character’s emotions a ton.
And. . . [insert long list of don’ts as far as writing goes]
But…[Read more]

Exactly! Long, deep conversations are my favorite, but it’s often hard to find people to have them with (or specific topics for discussion, lol). God has really blessed me with the friends I can have those conversations with, whether those discussions happen often or only on occasion.

There are so many people. My mom (encouraging me to read, allowing me to pursue writing for a good chunk of my homeschooling, critiquing my work over the years, etc.), my dad (he has a book started that I’m excited to read one day, he got me started reading fantasy, he’s also helped edit my work from time to time, etc.), my writing groups…[Read more]

Not a part of it (yet), but I’ve done a ton of research on it, talked to multiple students who are in it, talked aback and forth with some of their admissions people. . .
And it is fantastic. I’ve heard so many good things about it and am planning on joining in the somewhat near future.
So I’d say, 100%, at least submit an…[Read more]

Autumn was my first pen name! I was going to go by Autumn Meadowlark for a while, but I picked R.M. Archer after I decided “Meadowlark” was too weird, lol. Autumn is a lovely name. ^-^
