Heeeeyyyyy count me in

@whalekeeper @jonas @highscribeofaetherium

Ohh, that makes sense. Thanks!

@whaley

That’s good! I will! I’m not sure how it’ll be since I know it’s going to be a lot more work than I’m used to, but I think it’ll be fun, and it’s only a semester in case it ends up being too much XD. I’ve never done it before.

@savannah_grace2009

Yeah, like @acancello says, it’s a spectrum. I have writer friends who looooooove talking about their projects 😂

@hybridlore @jonas

Yep, Jonas is right! (Is it okay to call you by your tag name?)

Tone armor is less of an official term, but I’ve heard it used a couple of times. Basically it’s plot armor, but instead of the character being protected by the plot, they are protected by the tone and style of the story. For example, Bugs Bunny can be hit by a m…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Now I’m curious… I’ve never heard those terms before. What does plot tone and armor tone mean?

@rae

Yeah, like everyone else said, I think it’s normal. For me it’s sometimes scary to share my writing, I don’t know why. It just feels so personal. My mom and my sister read my stuff sometimes, too, though. It’s almost easier to let…[Read more]

@rae

His friends are just a touch worried. And I think they have a right to be worried. 😳😉

@rae

Ah, I go to CC too! It’s great ❤️

It’s okay to be the quiet kid in the group. Every group has a quiet kid, and that doesn’t even mean you have to act that way all the time. But I understand what you mean; I’ve had people call me the group therapist, just because I listen and monitor what everyone’s saying.

I think if you aren’t happy with…[Read more]

Hugo

Hugo took out his own banned pens and papers, and went to stuff everything in a cubby, whistling listlessly.

Once in the dance room, he spied Seb, and followed him around the edge of the crowd until the little boy’s trips and stumbles caught up to him.

“Hey, Sebbo,” Hugo bargained, “you wanna play a game when we get…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

That’s great!! It’s so weird, but even though it’s such a huge fandom, I know hardly anyone who actually watches it 😂 I definitely want to read the comics eventually, just haven’t gotten around to it. It would be weird to see slightly different designs for the characters, but at the same time enlightening, I suppose. Lol. Di…[Read more]

@livingwoodchronicles

Hey, don’t push your worth over a cliff – you wrote half of an entire book. And even if it took a little longer, that might just pay off more! Congrats!! 🥳😎 *Shoves an imaginary truckload of chocolate into your face*

@livingwoodchronicles

HEEEEYYyYY how does it feel???

@rae

I wouldn’t say it’s weird to not share your writing with your parents. Actually I’d say it’s pretty normal. I only share poetry and some short stories, because I don’t like sharing things before they’re finished, and I’ve never finished a full-length fantasy novel 😅

I almost think it’s wrong. Shouldn’t they know what their only daughter wri…

@loopylin @mineralizedwritings @freedomwriter76 @rae @anyonereally

My dad just did the craziest thing…

I sent him a message explaining the difference between plot armor and tone armor, because he heard me casually mentioning them and asked for definitions.

He then storms into my room a minute later, demanding me to tell him why I haven’t pub…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

That cracked me up too XDXD

@rae @everyone

Ah, we started again!

Moon

Moon almost immediately began clacking his spoon against his own plate, softly. His mother Gabriella gave him a sharp look from across the table, but he only brushed back a wisp of hair and continued.

Why do I write so much for an in-between scene, holy toothy cow

It was fun tho

@everyone

Does anyone remember who was going to be the dance instructor?

@loopylin @calyhuge

So I wrote some in-between stuff before the dance lesson… so we don’t have to worry about getting there XD I’m sorry if I wrote any of your characters incorrectly; I gave them more dialogue than I usually would. Tell me if they would have done somet…[Read more]

@calyhuge

Oki-dok!

AAAAHHHHHHH

I’m laughing my head off right now

Over Cal’s response to Lois? Because I genuinely meant it 🤣

@rae

There you go!! It’s pretty satisfying once the inspiration strikes you, isn’t it?

… I’m working on a sketch of Marc rn, I’ll share when I finish

@loopylin @calyhuge

If you most distinguished writers will grant me the pleasure, I can write a transition scene for our quartet.
