Great! Best of luck with the project!

@hybridlore

I find doing a character brain dump helps a lot with fleshing out who this character is within my mind while also helping me get ideas going. So like taking a few pieces of paper, and without restriction or too much thought, freely writing down anything and everything that comes into my head about this character.

Appearance,…[Read more]

@hybridlore

The thing that gives me the most and best plot ideas is really getting to know the story’s main characters. Like really getting to know them. Knowing them to the point to which they feel like real breathing people.

Get to know their dreams, fears, greatest loves, biggest regrets, the most consequential moments of their life, their…[Read more]

@lydia-s My work starts end of May, I’ll be working for some secret compay, lol. All very exciting stuff. What is your work?

@lydia-s I went to Pennsylvania and lay on the grass and looked at the stars for a while a few days ago so that felt like rehab XD

Still suffering a little, trying to figure out writing things before work starts

@smiley @dekreel @esther-c

I’ll see if I can do something! Thanks for letting me know!

@lydia-s Nice, I’m glad you’re having a good time!

Hahahhaha you have met me on my second round of exams, finals this time, plus all the work in the world you could imagine. But that’s okay, we’ll be fine…

@elanor

Your friends might be on to something. The words choices and flow of the poem has such an enthralling, I don’t know… texture to it?

Something about the poem feels so alive and playful. I really like it. Especially the last three lines. They are perfection.

@awsumfaith

Yo, this looks really cool! I have much respect to writers who create maps for their worlds, as its something I still aspire to do, haha.

If I had any suggestions it would to maybe make the names of each of the places on the map unique to your own world, history, and cultures.

Names like “Greenwood” and “Snowy Mountains” could be…[Read more]

@kyronthearcanin

Cool! I’ve been thinking about writing some articles as well, as I’ve had a few epiphanies and pressing thoughts while writing recently…

Anyways, as for you question, honestly the best answer I can give you is to write about something you are most captivated by at the moment. Has there been anything related to writing pressing…[Read more]

@acancello

Huh, I guess it’s not 2022 anymore lol.

But yeah, the real date is March 30th 2023 not 2022. Thanks for the heads up! Will be sure to correct it in future newsletters. 🙂

@light-warrior-pen I like novels, but short stories are quicker and easier to finish, lol.

@sarafini I’m studying computer science right now, haha. Very different from most things. Depends on which starving artist talk, lol. I’m literally in CS in order to make a living one day, so… To be honest, I don’t know if I’ve been more burned out from writing or from work, but I’m trying to find a balance…kind of hard. But in ten years I…[Read more]

@light-warrior-pen Nice to meet you! Not much to say about myself; I’m Lin, I’m a college kid, and my back hurts. Anyways.

I know others above me have already asked, but what are you currently working on? Do you prefer novels or short stories? Etc. Anyways. Welcome to the Kingdom!

@sarafini I’m in college right now studying something else so I don’t really have time to fully commit to something like that, lol. Plus I think they expect me to go right into the workforce afterwards so idk if there will ever be a chance for that, haha. Plus it seems expensive.

Aw, I’m glad you have time to write! I’m hoping things will get…[Read more]

@esther-c

The members who critique and the members who get their work critiqued are one and the same! When you are a part of the group, the only requirement is to edit one teammate’s work a month, but you can post as many or as few works of your own as you like to get critiqued.

So basically you and your teammates are critiquing each other’s…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 Hehe but this math course is honestly more enjoyable than a lot of the other courses I’m in, haha.

And no, my life isn’t going well. I hope yours is though!

@esther-c

Thanks for letting me know! I’ll get on the issue post-haste. 👍

@freedomwriter76 Hahaha. There’s more algebra than I expected but yeah, it’s one of the main reasons I’ve been gone from the forum for the past few months.

@lydia-s Whoa, that’s awesome! I was debating on joining the Conservatory, haha, but my parents would kill me. Your novel sounds really cool; would love to read it one day!

I’m currently…[Read more]
