I’m looking forward to December too. No school. >:) Work is still something I haven’t fully experienced, but I plan to get a bakery job during gap year.

How do you plan to spend your break? Any hopes and dreams?

@savannah_grace2009

I’m so glad you’re feeling better about being creative again! I don’t know exactly how you were feeling, but you never have to feel ashamed of your own story’s worth. It’s great to see you feeling better. :]

Goodness gracious, everyone likes to scare me half to death…

@savannah_grace2009 I’m blaming you too *glares suspiciously* ;P

HOLY CHEESE and CRACKERS girl you just gave me a near heart attack. What?? You’re back?!?

Oh my gosh… How are you doing? ❤️ How has life been balancing out? I hope it’s gone a little better since last time, and if not, that’s totally okay and it will all come together in its own time.

I was just thinking a couple hours ago about you returning,…[Read more]

@theshadow @rae

Okay 😛

Barnes

Barnes turned on her heel and faced the sound – arms raised defensively. She made a point to stand in front of the nearest person without a weapon, who happened to be Emeline.

@loopylin

I have some random prompts if that helps in tandem with Otherworldly’s advice.

– The villain is one of your protagonists, gone wrong.

– They have a design that completely contrasts the protagonist (if the protagonist is made of round organic shapes and colors, the villain is the opposite). Or maybe they have a similar design.

– Seems…[Read more]

That’s so cute! I wonder what kind of adventure the little fox is on. I love the scenery and the cute cartoony style! 💕

@whalekeeper

oh I really like that idea. Two of my favorite things combined plus a little conflict <33

I would have to turn Lucky into some kind of alien, though.

@otherworldlyhistorian

Thanks! That is really helpful.

I guess in that case, I think my two main characters are actually antagonists to each other, maybe. They have opposite character arcs/ fatal flaws and kinda end up meeting in the middle at the end.

My other WIPs also need villains so I’ll probably be referencing this again.

Yay, okay! @keilah-h @theducktator are you guys interested in running into our group? We can either make it peaceful or go for a surprise fight, I’m game for whatever. XD

@theshadow

As if on cue, the walls around them began to rumble, the floor shook, and a loud hiss sounded behind the group.

I’m curious to find out what this is, lol.

@ellette-giselle

I figured you probably knew, but just wanted go make sure. Because otherwise I would start rambling about stuff without defining things, like I normally do. XD

Yeah, I either lump it into personality or give it a category

@loopylin

Ooh, have you considered a space circus troupe? If you’re figuring out where to put her, that is. Seems like something one of your main characters (like one of the twins) could run away to in a fit of anger, and have some time to think.

@highscribeofaetherium

I like how you stylized the trees, very cute!

@ellette-giselle

Not exactly sure what you mean by that……..

Psychology is the study of the human mind and its functions, especially those affecting behavior in a given context. (I just pulled that off Oxford Languages. XD)

I like to add psychological stuff to my character charts. It can tell me why the character wants what he wants.

For exa…[Read more]

@loopylin

XD I should have known.

I’m quite disturbed because we like the same things so often. It seems like our personalities are different enough, though.

He’s the only writing channel I’m subscribed to. He’s simultaneously hilarious and extremely helpful. I love it.

Yep. I used to learn a lot from Abbie Emmons. She was helpful when I was first…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Magic potato, havoc potato, what potato am I? :]

Already asked this in the chat chat, but then realized there’s already a topic for it.

Anyway, I could use some help.

How do y’all create villains? Are they necessary for a story? How do you tell a story without them?

Im kinda stuck rn because I don’t know how to create villains, but my story doesn’t really have enough conflict without one. I’…[Read more]

@theshadow

Yeah, that’s a really good way to put it!

Just asked my dad if he had any villains in his stories and he said “Not really. Got any extras for me?” XD

@anyone

I could use some help but I didn’t want to create a new topic for this.

How do y’all create villains? Are they necessary for a story? How do you tell a story without them?

Im kinda stuck rn because I don’t know how to create villains, but my story doesn’t really enough conflict without one. I’m good at creating monsters, but that obvi…[Read more]

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST!
We just found out that the dad of two girls I know from school passed away unexpectedly yesterday. Right now we don’t know why but I can only imagine how this has turned his family’s life upside down. The girls are 14 and 10/11 and as far as I know it’s just them and their mom now (I don’t think they have any other sibling…[Read more]
