*Loud, stormy applause*

Not all writing is words on paper. I’m a bit of a plotter, so I’ve been working of my character’s arcs and story plot. (Thee book Save the Cat Writes a Novel is wonderful help on that score) or at least that’s what I tell myself.

I’ve also just finished college finals for the year, so that’s a relief on time.…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Welcome!

Not sure exactly what you mean… perhaps I am unlearned in my writing terms lol. I mean, I had to look up what wip meant at some point…

Sorry, I was referring to a flower I remembered to play a role. I didn’t want to be too specific just in case 1. It was a spoiler, and 2. Something had changed

I didn’t look up…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Thank you!! ❤️ I really like how it turned out.

also, I understand with the writing thing and the procrastination!!! it’s so hard!!!!

Ugh, yes.

And I’m sure your characters are gonna be fine!

Thanks for the encouragement. So will/are your characters.

what exactly is scaring you? If you don’t mind my asking.

I don’t mind. It’s…[Read more]

First of all, that collage is beautiful!

Second, no, my writing has not been coming along very well, although I did start a short story with Zlati and Vulka’s parents. (Yes, I call my characters by their nick names) It’s my first attempt at anything like romance, and I am finally writing it down so I don’t…[Read more]

*Swings in through window*

Aha! I have arrived.

I’m supposing you need a name for the organisation, with a medievalish sound. This said band of bad guys not only thinks there powerful but also actually are. People join for that reason. They’re also forming a coup on the crown, so maybe there needs to be some secrecy here, and…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Ok! (It’s just her name)

And like I said, this collage is really incomplete, especially since it doesn’t exactly capture all their culture, but I like it all the same.

@godlyfantasy12

I haven’t written anything…. *Wince*

But I have been reexamining characters. Which hurts because what I thought I’d figure out before now is still undecided.

I did write the opening for a little WIP I put down a long time ago. It’s a children’s novel about a group of squirrels on their journey to the fabelled country of…[Read more]

I made a collage for Alyona, but I don’t know if it’s done or not. I might still share it as is….

….hmmm…..

If I do, should it be the all English one, or the one with Hebrew? (Eishlagair is not Hebrew, but it’s not developed enough to use in a collage… Then of course there’s the keyboard problem. Eishlagair doesn’t use…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Absolutely!

@pen_for_christ205

Ooooo, names! I love names. (Though they can be a pain at times.)

First, do you need a name for an organization/governing body of bad guys or specific people?

Second, what name pool/culture does your country have? For instance, are they kinda English-ish like with names like Winston, Audrey, Henry, Elizabeth, Collin, John,…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

I just read through these and they’re awesome! I love these characters and their friendship dynamic.

A little curious about what happens next…

Especially considering the foliage there….

And this really fascinating character development you have going on….

And how you have left us completely in the dark….

And the…[Read more]

Um, I may be barging in here, but I know a little about Native American reservations and stuff.

Wether or not the native language is spoken depends highly on the tribe/area, but many are still active languages. Most states have several websites for the Native Nations in their state, which are very informative and helpful. Many n…[Read more]

@esther-c

Those are great!

@mineralizedwritings

I understand about being ‘overly sensitive’, although I’m not sensitive in the same way. I pick up emotions around me, both from real life and characters. And I have quite a vivid imagination, which tends to not forget the images I read. I understand this, and am accordingly careful. I was also raised with a stricter idea of…[Read more]

@felicity My pleasure!

I can’t figure out her tag. That’s frustrating. I’ll have to look into that.

But here’s a direct link to my post on her blog, as well, so you don’t have to scroll down and find it.

Got the tag wrong. @rachel-l? @rachel?

Anyway, here’s the post she wrote for my blog.

@felicity

I’ve self-published a standalone short story, two short story collections, and a novel. I prefer self-publishing, personally, for the freedom it provides and for the opportunity to work with my own choice of collaborators (editors, artists, etc.), but I would like to try traditional publishing down the road as well for the sake of…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Interesting topic, and very important.

I don’t write or read anything I would call dark, or that feels off to me. (However, some of what I write could be done in a very sickening/graphic/dark way. I don’t want that, and I won’t read that, so I’ve thought about this quite a lot for many reasons.)

As humanity, there is a…[Read more]
