@felicity

You spoke highly of me. Why have you suddenly decided to challenge me to a duel?

*Grasps coupe-ongles*

Praying for you, @mineralizedwritings. <3

Not gonna lie, I read the title of this forum as “What is a good character? Death.” and had to take multiple double-takes. XD

But yes, great thoughts, everyone. XD I’m just going to lurk in the shadows and watch, since everyone’s said what I’d say (especially @gwyndalf-the-wise – lovely list, lovely list).

Yep, I am! Same name and profile picture. (And yep, YWW stands for “Young Writer’s Workshop”, and it’s pretty amazing. XP)

Ahhh, congrats! *throws confetti* This looks amazing! (Wix all the way, in my opinion – I’ve heard that WordPress is great if you’re doing a blog, but I managed to do one on Wix with no problems, and the website design features on Wix are so much easier to use. xD)

I’d say that an antagonist is the opposite of a protagnoist, whereas a villain is the opposite of a hero. The protagonist is the character the reader’s supposed to be rooting for, and that makes the antagonist anyone who gets in the way of the protagonist’s goals. A hero, on the other hand, is the good-hearted, morally-centered character who wants…[Read more]

Traditional publishing. A traditional publisher won’t charge you anything, they’ll only take a cut of the profit when your book sells. Spending money on marketing would be the only expense.

Yes, I used KDP. I tried IngramSpark for my last book and gave up because it was such a pain and way more expensive, so I went back to KDP.…[Read more]

Traditional vs. Indie publishing

@booksandbeakers

M’kay, KP is liable to eat my post if I try to put links in it, so I’m going to lay everything out and then post individual links to each post I reference. I apologize in advance for how obnoxious that is, lol.

If you’d rather save money than time and you want a great-quality end result, traditional publishing is the way you…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 Lol wait till you learn about Linear Algebra (though you probably won’t, that’s my cross to bear).

Aww, thank you for the prayers! Yeah, nah, my friends are like that to me as well, except even more harsh, though I know it’s cuz they care about me.

Yeah, can’t wait to talk to you more too!

@felicity That sounds really good! I’d love to try it someday!

@lewilliams Eyyyyyyy there’s that familiar platypus profile picture! Good to see you too! Life is. Kind of a roller-coaster, I have a really busy semester ahead of me and I’m not sure how I’m going to balance writing with it, but we’ll see. How are you?

@felicity I’m reindeer, and my name there is same as here.

@power Eyy love to see that you’re still here! One of the core tenets of the forum.

@booksandbeakers Oo that’d be exciting!

@folith-feolin Eyyy Lovecraft is definitely something else! He has beautiful prose!

@felicity Nice to meet you! What are some of the desserts you make?

@sarafini Yes! Stories definitely get easier the more you do. Hey, novelettes and novellas are impressive! I’ve done very few of those.

@loopylin Best of luck! If you’d be comfortable with sharing them someday tag me!

@keilah-h Nice! Do you know Vihart? She does a lot of great math videos.

@esther-c That’s about how much I usually manage too! Short stories are a lot easier, but I start a lot of them and never finish them, lol.
