He’d bled on the floor more times than he cared to tell her. He hoped she wouldn’t notice more faint stains.

@godlyfantasy12

So you’re trying to present Ara’s world to the reader before the inciting incident happens, and you don’t know how to translate the inner world to the outer world?
If so, wait a minute. We have the same problem. I’m trying to write the same thing. XD

The best I can say is to come up with a meaningful, but normal situation that re…[Read more]

Also yeah, like @elishavet-pidyon said! Writing calls! I’m not sure how to make it accessible to everyone because not everyone uses Google chat. Which is what I normally use for calls. But we can figure it out.

@godlyfantasy12

You wrote more than 50k words, which is a lot of emotional effort when writing the series of your dreams. So first off, that’s awesome. You’ll have plenty of material to edit. You’re definitely burnt out from that. That sounds normal to me.

I’m currently at an ADORABLE bookshop/cafe and slowly wanting and feeling the nudge to g…

Callum

The Stormwatcher legacy was impressive. Scary, even. Callum could imagine having visions, since he already knew half of the experience. Ellis had something to contribute to his family – something helpful. Maybe it didn’t require much ingenuity, which was something Callum needed because he had no born powers. But it sounded…[Read more]

Lucille

Hydras were from storybooks, and even then, Lucy wasn’t exactly sure what they were. They sounded worse than a copperhead at any rate.

“Was that your blood?” she asked, pointing at the rug.

@rae

Let your crew know. You shouldn’t be concerned about how strong or weak you look.  That’s a minor issue. Falling over is a major issue. I’m not trying to wildly speculate, but isn’t there a possibility that you lose balance on a boat and pitch over? If you don’t tell anyone, there’s a risk of hitting your head or worse.

Many, many people…[Read more]

@rae

Works with me :] I will switch them on the doc

Lucille

“Is this where you lived with that old man? Your master?” Lucy asked.

@loopylin

Callum

Somewhere in Callum’s echoing headspace, Ellis’ voice rose to the surface. It took a minute to process everything he said. He was friendly. Understanding, even.

It was rather dark outside, and crickets had begun their evening song, but lamps lit up the bench from either side. The lights were like splotches of butter-colored pai…[Read more]

@loopylin

I will interact with Ellis either today or tomorrow

@koshka

Ari is the most fiery kid ever. I love that for him. I don’t love whatever reason he’s so angry, but I don’t know that reason yet, so I am forced to withhold my thoughts.

He and Moth should be room neighbors. If you want

@ellette-giselle

There are lots of different options and I don’t know who to pick. Do you prefer drawing children, or older teens/adults? And do you prefer drawing realistic humans?

Fair warning. I began on Wolfgang twice, and I don’t like either attempt. I’ve been really tired this past week. So it won’t be done as soon as I’d like

@elishavet-pidyon @rae @theducktator

K! That would be fun. I’ll find a few dates and propose them on the topic where we normally talk about this.

@keilah-h @ellette-giselle @elishavet-pidyon @rae

Yeah it’s crazy. Luckily the AI can’t access everything, and what it can see is very jumbled up. I think it can only see our profile pages and some of the posts underneath. I tried asking it more detailed questions and it couldn’t answer them correctly.

@Ellette-giselle

What did y’all use? Ch…

Lucille

Soldier was so big and blustering, it was hard not to jump when he said something. Lucy still held Mel, but the two of them shuffled closer to look.

The stone pathway looked friendly enough, clearing away the silvery green moss and grass, and leading to the quaint red door. It had indeed appeared out of nowhere.…[Read more]

Change of topic because now I’m frustrated at the internet.

Would anyone be interested in a zoom/google call specifically meant to be a writing session for anyone to join?

@loopylin

I have a feeling there’s a way to do it, but it would probably mean major website changes and no one is able to do that right now

I have to wonder if there’s any way to make the forum inaccessible to AI searches

It was rude to Mel for no reason lol

@loopylin

Yeah it freaked me out a little. It did hallucinate some stuff as well, like a side character that doesn’t exist

I wish the forum wasn’t so open to the internet. Like yeah, I doubt anyone would steal anything we’re doing because it’s such a tiny forum tucked inside this website. But AI is still able to make an overview

But the character descriptions are the fun part
