Ok I give up. Wyoh, you’re a jerk

@rae

Oki, coooooooool

@rae

Lol, you’re good 😂

Yes, he does have issues with his personality. Because of the way his brain develops when he’s younger, he has a lot of mood swings.

When I asked if you have issues with his personality, I meant, is his personality not functioning well for you as a writer? Like, from an outside perspective, a character’s personality can b…[Read more]

I’ll join! I have a super new character with mythological roots even, so that’s perfect 🙂

Name: Winston

Species: Half-demon. (By ‘demon’ I am not basing this creature on a biblical force, but on the forces in mythology. They represent manipulation of balance, rather than pure evil. Think of Journey to the West.)

Age: 16

Appearance: Winston…[Read more]

@rae I don’t think I can handle another rp at the moment, but this sounds fun and I might join later on

Wyoh, I can’t think of a good insult rn, but stop

@esther-c First person for some reason really bothers me. There are some books like Percy Jackson and the Penderwicks that I’ve enjoyed despite being in first person, but it still really pulls me out of the story. It makes me wonder why the mc is talking to me or if the book is like the mc’s perso…[Read more]

@esther-c

I would say, just use a lot of Abbie Emmons’ advice (I’m sure you’re probably doing that already though XD) and make everything that happens build the internal conflict more.

And about first person…obviously don’t do it if you don’t want to, but I think first person helps bring out the character’s voices a lot more. While the actual…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

You’re still oooonnnn *applause*

1. I think it’s understandable, especially in a small space when you’re about to be discovered.

2. They are a little sympathetic, but not a whole lot, since they took unnecessary pleasure in punishing him.

3. It’s short, makes sense, certainly something to expect. I can’t say I have any…[Read more]

I guess I should tag some peeps. Don’t feel obligated to reply 🙃

So I need help.

XD

I’ve been plotting in my head for a contemporary novel that I’m really excited about. I love the concept, the characters, and even the setting so much! I just need a better structure for my plot. So far I’ve been writing random scenes, I just have a feeling that when I finally sit down to write the book in whole, it’s not gon…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

1.      Is Riker’s sudden panic/possible panic attack realistic? If not, does anyone that has experienced a panic attack have any pointers? (I’ve only been on the brink of one once…it was not fun🫠)

I felt like it was pretty realistic, but I’ve also never written anything like that before or experienced something like it. I a…[Read more]

Hey, everyone!! Just so y’all are aware, I’ll probably begin posting the next polls sometime after Easter. (:

1. Oh and I don’t think him walking slowly and carefully quite fits? It totally could work and you can ignore me here, but typically you’re in either fight, flight, or freeze mode during a panic attack. You’re not thinking logically, you’re just acting on fear. Obviously he’s not going to fight, so I think it would make more sense if he was eithe…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

1. I think it was pretty accurate except that he was thinking in full sentences. Typically when I’ve had an anxiety attack, my thoughts come in scattered fragments or images. Usually it’s only a couple words or a phrase on repeat or it’s just pure emotion and physical symptoms. Nothing really makes sense in the moment and m…[Read more]

Dante

Dante suppressed a yawn.

He had slept in late in the motel room after getting almost no sleep when he was outside the night before. He was exhausted from exploring, hunting pixies, and peer-pressured dance lessons. When he had finally woken up in the morning, he found Jr’s bed unsurprisingly empty.

Dante had left a sloppy note thanking J…[Read more]

@keilah-h Thanks!

@freed_and_redeemed ugh poor Riker and Leon! I forgot how much trauma some charries had lol. I’ve been spending too much time with characters who don’t seem bothered by all the ruckus going on around them

@freed_and_redeemed ugh poor Riker and Leon! I forgot how much trauma some charries had lol. I’ve been spending too much time with characters who are unusually UN-bothered by all that lol

@whalekeeper i’m sorry for being completely random, but I actually got Mundy’s age wrong, I think I told you he was in his forties. He’s actually only 30. How did I miss the mark by ten years at least? lol
