I’m a bit late to this.

My art definitely bleeds into my writing a lot. All of my stories have some sort of color palette in my mind, and a lot of my characters, especially from Paper Stars, started as drawings I made. (Ex. Dante, Lemonhead, Mel) And my obsession with turning my old school work into origami stars a few years ago is what inspired…[Read more]

@esther-c

Ok! Yeah, again, do what you wanna do. But if you want some ideas or need a brainstorming partner just lmk!

I will!!! TYSM!!! 🙃

Yes I totally get it!! You definitely don’t have to go through and try to fix everything in the first draft 🥴

ahhhh hahaha yeah, I’d definitely get in trouble with @ellette-giselle if I did that…. (jk jk h…[Read more]

@esther-c

Ohhhh my wordddd

Ok that actually makes so much sense. I felt like the story was moving too fast and wasn’t exactly sure how to slow it down.

Thanks for pointing that out!! <33

Glad I was able to help!!!!!

I do love your dialogue though…you’re so talented in that area!!! Just maybe breaking it up would help A LOT. Because too much o…[Read more]

@stephie

I feel like it totally depends on the situation.

Though, at least for me, something doesn’t feel right about saying “your religion is wrong and false.” Because that tends to get people defensive and push them away from Jesus. I feel way more comfortable with saying “I believe that there is only one God….(etc…)” and just sharing what…[Read more]

Even you were wrong, but believed you were right, I still think it would be good to disagree with the other person.

All of what I said still depends on the situation and the intentions of the people involved, though.

@stephie

Yes. There are some social situations where it would be inappropriate or pointless to start a fight with someone like that, but if the topic came up, then yes. Tell what you believe is the truth. Staying silent or affirming a something that you do not actually believe in is deceiving the person you are talking with. Yes, it might sting…[Read more]

@grcr

Mmm. If that’s how other books do it, I guess it could work. I looked it up and some people say to extend the vowels and smooth con…

@savannah_grace2009

Mmmm…that does make sense, I’m just not sure how to do that.

Instead of “hope”, my characters are trying to fix their problems themselves. Which might be a “false hope”, but I don’t really see it as hope. I understand what you mean, I’m just not exactly sure how to do that.

Ok! Yeah, again, do what you wanna do. But if you…[Read more]

@liberty

The blurb looks great! Very intriguing.

@liberty ooooh I love those kinds of stories!

@ellette-giselle thanks!

@whalekeeper lol yeah

also tbh I mostly use references of the actual character I’m drawing. I just yoink ‘em off google images (obviously with the safe search function on)

@keilah-h

I don’t know what they’re talking about but it seems to be serious.

😂

I’m working on them right now actually.

@loopylin @mineralizedwritings @rae @ellette-giselle @anyone

Where does everyone get their photo references for practice? I used Pinterest for the art on the last page, but I’m wondering if there’s a better source…?

Pinterest has lots of stuff, I’m just curious. XD

@whalekeeper thanks! I like their expressions too, I don’t know what they’re talking about but it seems to be serious.

yep I use Procreate a TON. All the digital drawings/edits I’ve posted are from there.

@keilah-h

I like the expressions! Looks like you use Procreate too, lol.

@ellette-giselle I see!

@ellette-giselle

yeah, just about.

very cool!! what time period exactly? Evidently empires and kingdoms are still a thing, and they don’t have any form of electricity yet.

@ellette-giselle ehh sometimes the chapters get buried in my emails cause I’m busy and don’t get the chance to read them. When you post a new one then I’m able to go back through the ones I’ve missed.

I always imagined a modern-day Heinrich would walk around in a trench coat with glasses and would most likely have a spattering of freckles. 😂😂

LOL…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

True, true 😂

And it has a lot to do with–––––

You’re just going to leave me hanging? XD

Ahh, gotcha.
