want some fruit from my epic fruit bowl? And here is your birthday present.

What’s it called when someone gets salt thrown…[Read more]

lol yeah I guess there’s that 😂

(AHH that makes me so happy! 😁 )

@joy-caroline
Ooh I like it! 😍 Since I haven’t written much fantasy, I’ll leave that up to others. But awesome job!

@molly

Those genres are all really fun! Do you usually write short stories with them or longer-length projects?

Your WIP sounds quite interesting! What stage are you at with it right now?

Vanilla ice cream is indeed supreme. As well as cheesecake.

Eyy, pineapple on pizza gang!

@elfwing @daisy-torres

I think the forum moderator can delete posts….

But it should be fine.

oh wait i need to add a joke…..

JOKE!

@sparksaraabbott11 Yup. Got that right.

RULE UPDATES

1. Introduce yourself one at a time

2.  The “lol”s must come naturally. So you know what that means….

3. WAIT FOR THEM TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES FIRST!!!! It’s a surprise party after all

Stop whistling innocently and hit her with the stick already. SHE CAN’T KNOW. SHE CAN’T.

Good idea.

RULE UPDATE: ONE AT A TIME PEOPLE.

I’ll add these rules to the main topic.

@daisy-torres

To be honest, I wasn’t too sure about the sound of that cookie recipe either. I just didn’t say anything to be nice. Let me know when you think of a new recipe to bring to the party. And maybe test it first this time?

Oh yeah, keep that cheesy joke in the bag. Keep it secret. Keep it safe.

Okay everybody, that was a great practice round. Put away all your foods and gifts and sweep up the confetti.  We can’t exactly all come out and yell “SURPRISE” when they haven’t even walked into the room yet sooooooooo. Remember, I said the next HUMAN to join the…[Read more]

@sparksaraabbott11

I’m glad you think so.

epic.

@ariel-f I remember one of my favorite manga artists saying that if the story he’s writing doesn’t surprise him, then he stops writing it. And I am always surprised and astounded by his work. Truly wise words.

To be honest, I struggle with this a lot. I honestly really dislike the characters I made back when I started writing (well, not dislike,…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin Curse these tags.

@writerlexi1216 I believe in using a pen name, as I am right now. I just do it for privacy reasons, as this name is still as hard to pronounce as my previous name. (Not me never saying this name out loud, haha….)

Anyways, I think that A.M. Williams sounds really cool and elegant! A.M. reminds me of the morning.

@ariel-f A lot of the time I try to put myself in the character’s shoes, or really get in their head. If I was that character, how would I feel if [fill in the blank] happened to me? Getting really deep into their internal conflict, backstories, lies they believe, their values, etc. really helps them come alive and connects them to both author and…[Read more]

@keilah-h Ahh I haven’t gotten very deep into the Tron franchise yet but Tron: Legacy is my favorite favorite movie and will always hold a special place in my heart. You draw really well, by the way!

@keilah-h Is this from Tron

*sweats* Maybe we should wait for them to formally introduce themselves, eh? I’m afraid we might’ve scared them off…

@lewilliams Awesome! I love plugging in obscure foreign literature to others!
