@mineralizedwritings I actually like the Star Wars shows better than the movies for that reason. The show characters are easier to connect to. Their character development is more spread out. They typically have more clear ambitions/passions/etc, even if those ambitions and passions aren’t exactly good ones. The movie characters don’t have it that way.

And you could totally play with his backstory like why he chooses or has to fight as a gladiator when he’s just this super nice guy

Esther replied to the topic Romantic Subplot help? in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 7 months ago
Oooh, I love romantic side plots XD
You could also toss in some conflict and have the guy meet her with bad intentions, like to figure out how to make Vital or steal it, etc. But then he ends up liking her. I feel like that trope is kinda overused, but if it’s done well, it doesn’t bother me.
I like Loopy’s idea too.…[Read more]

@anyone
Okay I had one idea that is kinda random but it’s there.
He could be this Gladiator who fights for entertainment, who looks all fierce in the ring, but then in reality is this perfect gentleman and all sweet and always apologizes to his opponents after he fights them. And he and the MC meet before one of his matches and then she’s like”…[Read more]

That sounds very inconvenient to live under. No wonder your characters want to get out. Does just the Orb shrink, or does everything inside it shrink too?
Oh yes, very inconvenient 😑 lol
Just the Orb itself
I’m terrified that by the time I get to experience 4 feet of snow I’ll be too old to enjoy it. XD
Lol! For real XD

Esther replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 7 months ago
Umm… my immediate answer would be Leon. I find him more relatable in a general sense and for some reason I just love him more. XD I wish I could give you more of a complete answer, lol. I guess I pretty much agree with what everyone else has said.
And that scene….
Girl!!! They’re smuggling Bibles together?!! I love that!! 😆

Esther replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 7 months ago
Thanks!! 🥰
It was because i saw a pic of a girl riding piggyback with a guy and I was like, “I need to put this in my book!” XD

Pastor Nikolai Aleksandr Smirnov and MGB Agent Peter Dimitri Kuznetsov together as the MCs of a novel would be fabulous…I’m getting ideas already…oh no XXD

freedom replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 7 months ago
@koshka Yesssss, it is possible. It really is 😂
His book/arc would highlight persecution/speaking up when the rest of the world is silent…and I think I have an idea for who the 2nd MC could be…
Nikolai and Peter as the MCs of a Soviet Russia novel would be a lot of fun :3

@koshka Hehe, I’m glad you’re excited!!! That’ll be quite a bit of their 3rd book, so I’m glad you like it😂
Yesss, I love it too <3 I like him already…he may get his own book at some point😆

@koshka @elishavet-pidyon @smiley @godlyfantasy12 @loopylin @whalekeeper @keilah-h @lightoverdarkness6 @mineralizedwritings @anyone-else-heh-I-can-think-XD
I have this possible scene for Leon/Riker’s 3rd novel!!!
There’s probably more to this scene, but I haven’t written the rest of it yet and wanted to share what I have so far✨
I love them so…[Read more]

PrincesaChronicle22 replied to the topic Romantic Subplot help? in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 7 months ago
Thanks! No that’s great!
He could possibly be from outside the city, but it would be difficult
But I definitely like the idea of him not knowing or caring about her making Vital! And it could be something she worry’s about or has dealt with in the past. A ‘you only care about the money’ situation.

I recently released that Riker has a bit of a tick…he’s always running his hands through his hair when he’s stressed/worried/afraid…you learn something new every day😆
-
lol Tauren too
-
haha, yeahhhh
Riker probably bites his lip more than anything, followed by the hair thing. But he’s also used to avoiding eye contact and fearing the worst and all of those things, poor boi😭-
Oh poor boi 🥹please give him a hug for me?
I think the main reason Tauren has the running his hands through his hair thing is just so I can describe that he has fluffy brown curls 😂
-
*gives Riker a massive hug* You don’t have to tell me twice <3
hehe, that's always a bonus😂

Yesss, thank y’all for all of the help 💕😂
now to just figure out what to do next in my WIP🫠😆
I’m on Chapter 10 rn; I’m planning on Chapter 12 being where everything really starts to come to the climax, being that Chapter 12 will mark exactly one year (in the book timeline) since Aadelheide’s death and will…[Read more]

Loopy replied to the topic Romantic Subplot help? in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 7 months ago
Ok, well I’m definitely no expert on this, but I will try to help.
I think he should probably be someone from outside the city, because that would then make her curious and maybe ask him things about what it’s like outside. Also, I think it would be important that he either doesn’t know or doesn’t care that Nikari can ma…[Read more]

Overwhelmed, mostly. I’ve literally developed a stutter sometimes when I can’t think, or am failing to say something I want to say. I’ve never stuttered before. And I’m trying to hide my true feelings from everyone around me except this one friend I have, who I write too, instead of talk too.Idk,it’s just like some days I want to hide in a hood…[Read more]
@rae I don’t really know what to say other than to say that you are not alone. I’ve been in really dark places before…places I hope to never return to.
I’ve had a lot on my mind lately, and Tho
I haven’t been in a dark place at all, I’ve also been just really thinking about where I need to get my life in check.
I know you feel alone and I know…[Read more]
I have been talking to my best friend recently. But not my parents. My Dad knows I’m having a rough time, but he only knows a fraction. My mom knows nothing. I don’t want her to worry.
Maybe that’s the entire reason I’ve mostly closed the door to my emotions. I’m afraid if I let them spill, everyone will worried, not just you and my friend, and…[Read more]
