Sorry it took me 6 years to reply back.

Nice beard, it looks just like a beard.

Well, to be honest, stories kinda come to me.  I can’t really force myself to come up with ideas, but I do enjoy finding prompts (on Reedsy: https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/).  I also find great ideas when I’m reading;  for example, I was reading The Chosen by Taran Matharu and I thought about traveling between worl…[Read more]

One thing that I suggest is a personality change/evolution in your cast of characters:  the villain might change for better or descend into a downward spiral.  The secondary characters might end up sacrificing themselves for their friends, or maybe they betray them.  The MC might end up getting what they’ve been trying to get th…[Read more]

@joy-caroline It’d take too long for me to recount 13 Ways so I’ll just give a quick glossary over some short stories… I guess most of my ideas stem from like images I see in my brain or something that I’m reading at the moment. For example, I was reading a manga and about halfway I thought, What if I did something like this too, except not…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Sorry, but I got nothing, to be honest I’m probably the type of person kingdom pen was created for.

The only reason I’m here is because @devastate-lasting tagged me, and I gotta stay on top of the whole ‘staying relevant’ thing y’know?

So yeah, I’m in the same boat as you. I shall watch the upcoming posts on this topic with…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 As a fellow pantser, I am probably not qualified to answer this question. Most of the time I can kind of guess where the climax is by seeing where the falling action starts. But personally I feel like my climaxes are a bit on the bland side.

I think that what I can tell you is go for it, and edit later. After you write it you can…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Ahh currently I’m sorting out some homework but I’ll be glad to hop on at some point!

@faith-q Ah, sorry I missed you! I was sleeping.

@joy-caroline

Ahhhhhh, whaaaaat!?!????  Those are AMAZING!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️  O just about screamed, but my parents are having a deep conversation so that probably wouldn’t go down well, lol.  THANK YOU SO. MUCH.  I’m in love with those!!!  *faints onto the settee*

@joy-caroline

Aww, thanks sooo much, girl!!! *sending virtual hugs as payment* 😜

@daisy-torres Awesome! I shall be sprinting all afternoon to whenever I finish this project. Won’t be online, probably, but just pretend I’m here.

@jenwiter17

Awesome, that makes sense.  Some others were mentioning cameo appearances, which I’m totally going to do!!  Thanks for the advice, Jenna!! <3

@joy-caroline

Hey JC!  How are you?  If you’re still up for it (and still have the free trial, of course), would you like to design a couple of covers for me?  (All your other covers are AH-MAZ-ING!!!)  If you have the time, of course. <33

Title:  Splendor (book one in the Calamity Trilogy)

Author:  E. M. Fischer

Genres:  dystopian, sci-fi,…[Read more]

@nova21 I do like series set in the same world but aren’t necessarily connected. 👍🏽 But I think to achieve this successfully the world building has to be done really well and made interesting enough for the reader to stay in that world. In this kind of situation, I personally like it when the books are at least a little bit connected, even if it’s…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting, @relia, @faith-q

That’s great advice, thanks y’all! <3 I was thinking that maybe what happens in Splendor (massive tsunamis that wipe out half of earth) leaves the characters in Solace living in a whole new economy/government system where people’s normal jobs are to scavenge things from underwater.  And I love the idea of a…[Read more]

@nova21 I think I have one series on my to-do where the only thing in common was that they were in the same world and some minor characters made an appearance. Heck, most of my series happen in the same world.

I think that your ideas sound awesome! I feel like however that the three should either a) tie in with each other at the end, or b) have…[Read more]
