@buildsbygideon Ah, I get you! I’m not the biggest fan of horror myself.

@buildsbygideon Yep! It’s a dark comedy/thriller!

@kathleenramm Yanhua would make a beautiful anime film, I think.

Yes, writing a screenplay for an animated film would be amazing, especially since you don’t have to worry about actors and things. But I think I’d be a good screenwriter for maybe like a drama or something. I think that The Mafia of Heather Flights would make a great crime drama, a…[Read more]

@buildsbygideon Oh, I really enjoyed Life is Beautiful! A lot sadder than I expected it to be. Yes, I’d encourage you to check out Parasite, though I have to warn you that it’s…not exactly a family film, and it’s quite dark and terrifying. But it is, in my opinion, a masterpiece.

@scoutfinch180 Pirate bots are basically bots that copy your work off a site and paste them elsewhere. It’s no big deal to me since I’m not making any revenue off of my work, but if you sign a contract with a site then that can hurt the income that the site makes since everyone will go to the ripoff sites to read instead. I’d say don’t worry about…[Read more]

@issawriter7 I left some comments! Great job!

@wyn-rose Thanks!

@godlyfantasy12 Whoa, good luck on all of that! I’m afraid I can’t help much in these aspects, but I’m sure there are other people here who can!

@writerlexi1216 Ah thank you! I’ll work hard, I swear.

@gracie-j Thank you so much!

@lewilliams Whoa, that looks great! Did you draw that sketch?

Finally finished with the Jehayi set…think I’ll work on the main cast next…

@scoutfinch180 Also, basically my plan is to start posting stuff online to garner attention while also trying to land an agent and working on things… Around this time last year I finally grew comfortable enough with my writing quality to post some online.. I say go for it, if you’re comfortable with it! Can’t hurt. Do watch for pirates though.…[Read more]

@scoutfinch180 Of course! It’s growing, I think, and has some famous creators on there…Big readership as well. I do have to warn you though, that a lot of the content and things are a bit more on the liberal side…then again, all sites have that kind of stuff, but it has much nicer conditions and workspace than what I have seen before. And I’ve…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver I would kind of agree. I would not publish my first novel. The one which I’m currently working to publish is something I came up with/wrote after like 11 other novels. I believe Story Embers has an article on such…

Are You Publishing Your Book Too Soon?

@scoutfinch180 I believe that while the majority of Tapas seems to be anime-type stuff, I think you can publish pretty much whatever you want there.

@writerlexi1216 Ah…I have so many ideas now, but I just don’t know what to do with my life anymore…just gotta recover a bit, I think. (Haha, thank you! My mom saw it when I was just starting it and she asked, “Why do you always write such sad things?” and then walked away.)

Oh, I’d love to have you as a beta-reader! I’ll tag you!

@wyn-rose Mm…I’ll throw some examples out and my thought process behind them.

The Mafia of Heather Flights

My sister said it was pretty self-explanatory; no need to change it to something aesthetic. Got a place, a group, and it makes you wonder. The most basic title I have, probably. But it represents what the whole work is about.

I Hid…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Doing homework instead…also I feel really tired…not sure why. But I hope to catch up on the weekend.

I did finish drafting Like Cherry Blossoms in the Spring, My Tears Fell Freely That Day so I think I’ll get around to editing and rewriting some bits soon. And then I’ll hand it to my sister to roast, and then I’ll post here…[Read more]

Sorry to hear that, @lucy! I’ll be praying!
