Yeah, I know what you mean.  That’s an interesting thought–I’ve never really paid attention to authors’ favoritism.  I’ll have to think about it.  I feel like I’ve read that kinda thing before though, and I’ve definitely written it!! 😂

@nova21

Oof, yes. XD I know those characters far too well.  Have you ever read a book with a character that you had a sneaking suspicion was the author’s favorite character? I feel like the try-hard comic relief characters are often those characters, but since the author likes the character so much they’re oblivious to it. XD Not sure if you’ve c…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Definitely.  On a slightly different note, I hate it when people write comic relief characters who are so try-hard!! 😄 I almost put the book down (e.g. Uriah in the Divergent series–I liked him in the first book, but in the last two, he was super cringy)  Anyways, it’s interesting to see how so many writers (most of the time) s…[Read more]

@nova21

I think what you mentioned right there is the epitome of writing. Most likely all writers at one point or another write about situations we have no experience ever doing but write about it as if we did it just that morning. XD And it’s totally prevalent when writing banter between two characters wholly different from you. Their…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I struggle with everything everyone else has mentioned, but I always have the hardest time trying to make friendly banter between two characters.  Since I write in a different setting than real life, I can’t use the banter between me and my friends as inspiration.  (It’s also mostly cheesy stuff anyways. 🙂 ) So yeah, I’ll be w…[Read more]

Is it bad that I’ve never written romance in any form before? I love creating deep, meaningful, and complicated relationships, but never romance. Probably because I don’t read romance often, and I’m only seventeen so romance isn’t something I think about, like, ever. XD

But I can see how writing romance would be difficult.…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Yeah, I get it.  Characters like that are hard, but I love to read and write them!!

@godlyfantasy12

This is great!  The first sentence is amazing! 😃  Wonderful job!

If you wanted to, it might be interesting to make Corvina more stoic on the outside, but conflicted only on the inside.  As a servant of the Destroyer, I would personally want to try to keep my feelings to myself, lol!! 😂

Thanks for sharing!!  I hope you post more…[Read more]

I just watched AtLA for the first time last month, and as someone who was expecting the typical kids show, (or just any tv show for that matter), it blew my expectations right out of the water. Particularly with what you mention with Zuko’s character arc. I love the thought and care the writers put into him and the entire story.…[Read more]

@lewilliams

This is an awesome idea! I’ve been in sort of a short story writing spree the past couple months so this is perfect. And doing this post Christmas is also a great idea to have something to look forward to, (and give us more time to write the short stories). XD

@godlyfantasy12

I love bullet journaling! I’ve been doing it for a couple of years now, and it’s the perfect mashup of both my love for organization and doodling! Plus, they’re super fun to look back on and remeber where you were years ago.

My favorite bullet journaling YouTuber is AmandaRachLee. She’s great if you want some bullet journal ideas…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Exactly! I don’t just want to write entertaining stories, I want to write stories that last forever.

@iluvhim18

Haha, yes. I think we’ve all at some point wrote totally spontaneous stories and wrote whatever cool thing popped in our heads first. XD

But like you said, with structure the story ideas can be fully utilized to…[Read more]

Sorry it’s so small!

It was on the night of the Finding when I received the powers of the wind.

A thousand years ago, I was taken from my forest, chosen by the Great Dragon to become his immortal servant–I never thought I would become his best friend.
