I’m with Ara on this one; Riven is HORRIBLE!!! I love the way you described him, tho, especially:
The way his tone dipped in the most subtle, cutting ways…
*grinz* Lovely, m’friend. Absolutely lovely!!!

No worries, girl! I usually take a

I love the character collages!!! They’re all wonderful. I think Corvina’s might be my fav… (I love an interesting villain😉)
Ooo… Love it! (Funny, but I actually had to read Thoreau for school this year, so I get that quote.😂)
That quote… I love it!!! XD Is it original?

I agree with you! It takes a lot for a scene to impress me, and that scene did. Nicely done! 😉
Nice to meet you, Clare! Can’t wait to get to know you better. 🙂 <333

Lydia S. replied to the topic Favorite Scenes In Our WIPs! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 6 months ago
Here’s a scene I’m fairly happy with. It needs rewritten, but it’s a good start. 🙂 It’s the first scene in my fantasy WIP in which the villain makes an appearance.
The girl was riding it now. The boy had let her have a turn. Her laughter lilted down through the sky to where he crouched in the shadow of the trees. He didn’t dare move. He could not…

Another Tolkien fan, woohoo!!! Tolkien is probably the author I admire the most; I’m a big fan! (To be perfectly honest, tho, you’re not the only one who’s never read LOTR.😉My mom read it…[Read more]

Lydia S. replied to the topic The Beloved Character Death Discussion Page….Woohoo in the forum Characters 2 years, 6 months ago
OoooOoOoOoOooo… Yeah, I’ve been there… Trying to make the choice of whether or not to let a beloved character go (whether by death or by joining the “bad guys”) is SO HARD.
I guess, for me, it came down to reality, predictability, and cliche-ness (pretty sure that’s not a word, but, oh well!😂). The character I had this proble…[Read more]

Lydia S. replied to the topic How Do You Turn a Spark Into a Blaze? in the forum Plotting 2 years, 7 months ago
Ah, well, here’s the issue: I’m a plantser. I do a bit of planning and a LOT of pantsing. All I know when I start thinking up a WIP is the beginning, ending, or a climactic scene near the end. I rarely beginning working on the project right away, so it simmers away on a back burner while I focus on other things (like, geometry… *grim…[Read more]

Lydia S. replied to the topic Me idea in the forum Plotting 2 years, 7 months ago
Lovely story idea! Honestly, aside from the tropes Joy and Daisy mentioned, it sounds unique to me! And, like they also said, even those tropes are common, they are still incredibly enjoyable (Honestly, the more I think about it, almost every story has a “chosen one” of some sort, even in the Bible). So, in my opinion, you’ve got a great…[Read more]

Lydia S. replied to the topic Writer's Corner #505 in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 7 months ago
Ooo… Thanks so much for the suggestions! It’s always nice to get directed towards good books. 😀 Jennifer Erin Valent’s trilogy is great with sibling-like relationships. The two girls aren’t actually sisters, but they treat each other and grow up like sisters. It’s a Christian series, but it does get pretty dark/sad by book three…[Read more]

I’m doing The Writer’s Conservatory! (It’s a three-year college alternative program that teaches students how to write well and on a deadline, how to publish independently and traditionally, and helps you start a small business) They count the program as a credit in English and a credit in business. 🙂
You’d think with how smart technol…[Read more]

Oh, thanks for the recommendation! It’s so nice to see good relationships in novels.
