Yes!! XD He’s an awesome teacher. He’s totally a science nerd, but he’s like super smart. He’s said some things during class that have temporarily broken my brain. And then my brother just laughs at me when I tell him about it. 😂

@thearcaneaxiom

Thank you so much for all this advice!! I’ll definitely be applying it.

Which story is this by the way? Is this a new one?

Not a new one. It’s actually my dystopian trilogy that I’ve been working on for over a year now. It keeps changing as I mature as a writer and lately I’ve been really focusing on revamping the first book be…[Read more]

*everyone ignore that i just referred to my espresso as a “he”…XD”

It’s okay, my science teacher refers to atoms as “he”s. 😂

(It deleted my post for some reason)

So I just saw the other comments saying that the setting isn’t as big a deal. Personally I think setting is very important, but it also depends on who you are as the author, and what kind of story you want to write.

Your not over thinking it for being concerned about whether your setting is playing…[Read more]

Maybe @thearcaneaxiom could help? (Sorry if she already tagged you.)

No problem, thanks for the tag!

@esther-c

So this is a good thing to be aware of when writing your story. Your definitely right that you want to have your setting more tied into the plot. I like how Brandon Sanderson puts it: Character, setting, and conflict are the three pieces, and the plot is the glue that keeps them together in a story.

You care about your characters,…[Read more]

*Listens to Mr. Blue Sky while writing my dramatic scene*

*is now stuck in my head* One of my favorite movie tropes is when they play a super happy, popular song over a intense fight scene, though, hehe

Patricia MacLachlan was a children’s author, yes. But I still find her books interesting. Her most well known, “Sarah, Plain and Tall,” would be about the thickness of a thin beginner’s novel, if that gives you any idea. I’m not sure how to classify her genre. You can read a sample of “Sarah, Plain and Tall” on Amazon to give you an i…

I think I lean more toward hard world building. While I have written some projects for fun where literally anything can happen, I love thought-out structure and processes in books (especially when it takes something from reality and kinda twists it).

Cool! Yeah, I’m definitely a hard worldbuilder. I definitely appreciate soft…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Aww, thanks!

And you’re not hogging the spotlight either, you’re just giving us more options for what we do with our characters. (Writing romance and people dancing is hardd)

@rae

Yeah, that happens too. Idk, I cry with Alpha when he looses Emmie, reject Gloria with Glace when he was banished, I’m shocked with Nahim when he di…

Dante 

Dante followed Seb’s instructions. At first he felt ridiculous, but then remembered Sebastian’s bucket shoes and felt better about himself. He tried it again, faster this time.

“Ey, did you see that?” He smiled, his dull mood finally dissipating. “I think I got it that time. This is actually easy.”  He tried once again, s…[Read more]

Lukas 

“Man… th-that must be, be tough. B-but I’m glad we’re able to be here for you.” He offered a smile. “Because if it was just you and Xandro, then Xandro might get you in trouble. You saw what he did to me.”

@thelittlejupitertion

Cool!! I’ll have to check it out!

@thelittlejupitertion

My dream vacation would probably be to visit Africa, it’s just so beautiful!

That would be so cool!!

Of course, the first character to pop into my mind is Jack. He’s a man made out of yarn (long story lol), and he’s super clumsy and hilarious, but it’s partly a ruse to hide his guilt and loneliness. He also knows a lot mor…

@rae

Ooh, that sounds really neat, I’d definitely read something like this! I can’t think of any feedback to give rn. But yeah, I love the idea! Tag me if you end up posting it!

@savannah_grace2009

Honestly…I’m not exactly sure why that’s a problem XD I mean…technically…any story can be taken out of it’s original setting and put somewhere else, with only a few little tweaks. I could easily move my story to Earth, get rid of Andromeda, and just change the races to different groups of people.

And since technically…

Lukas 

“Oh… Oh, I-I’m so sorry.” His eyes clouded with sympathy. He wasn’t the one who needed someone’s pity; at least Asher was still alive. He couldn’t imagine actually losing a sibling. He was still holding onto a hope that Asher would change his mind someday and come back. But Liv’s sister… she would never come back. I…[Read more]

Felicity

Felicity’s eyes widened as the girl summoned a knife and slashed through the latch.

“Or, yeah, vandalism is also an option,” she said.

(I’ll let someone else answer Rina and Chase’s questions so that Fel isn’t hogging the spotlight or anything)
