I don’t like being super graphic/body horror about it, I just make sure my favorite characters come out of it with a tangible reminder of the incident.
Tangible reminder is a fun trope. I haven’t used it too often. I can’t remember the last time I gave a character a dramatic scar. It feels like something that belongs in the Keilah genre. :p

But it’s so sad when the favorite character dies!!! And I love crying over books!!
If they don’t die she at least needs to make life miserable for them for a few chapters.
But trauma doesn’t automatically make characters deeeeep… 😫 Actually side note, I’ve been thinking about this topic and we should make a thread for…[Read more]

That’s so insane… 👀
Lately my book has been feeling more real to me, but that’s just because I’ve been fleshing things out more. i didn’t think my characters were ACTUALLY being brought to life. 😳😂

*Slips in* I’ve also met somebody who looks like one of your Hallie faceclaims. 😅 First moodboard, left, with the long red hair. It’s crazy how similar they look. I’ve had this thought since you started using the photo, but never thought to tell you for some reason.

I mean, if I bumped up the year the story takes place a decade or two, it would be even more realistic cuz then she’d be of marrying age!!! 😆
Oh no!! I have some characters from older WIPs that I would not like to meet 🫣😂

What are some interesting things you’ve learned through story research?
I feel like there’s always something interesting in a writer’s search history. Very often, this includes creative character deaths, so if you’d like to share… XD Well, I’ll go first.First off. I’ve been researching the origins of the electric guitar (because I have a…[Read more]

Ohhh I get that 😂
Right now it’s a little easier “writing” since most of it is editing and moving scenes and such since this is a second draft, but *shrug* sometimes I just don’t have that inspiration, ya know?
Oh wait! You haven’t heard about this WIP yet!!
Ok I’m dropping the moodboards, hang tight.

@loopylin @keilah-h
I’ve never used Discord, but I’m open to it!! I wasn’t aware you could have separate channels and such.Keilah, Slack is mostly used for businesses, but I’ve also been a part of a writing camp that uses it and it works pretty well. The only problem is that if we use the free version, the message history is only 90 days.
