Christmas bunny… ❤

@esther-c Yep 😊

@mineralizedwritings

I love this! I can tell it was inspired by City of Ember, but it obviously has its own unique charm

@mineralizedwritings

… Thank you 🙂 I’m really glad you were honest. It’s strange how first impressions work, and I guess that particular story didn’t help things at all.

What you said about ‘barely ever reading happy scenes’ kinda hit me hard. It’s true. Since I joined (a couple months back), there hasn’t been a lot of cheerful stuff. You’re…[Read more]

… And here I am, desperately hoping it wasn’t my story that prompted this topic 😳 Do tell me it isn’t so, @mineralizedwritings

What with all the talk about magic, I feel like I have to put in my two cents.

It looks like we mostly fall into two categories – those who are fine with it, and those who aren’t.  But I’d like to point out our definition(s) of magic. I think there are two kinds of magic here, that we might be mixing up.

The first is real magic. Real magic is…[Read more]

The shower and the racoon ones… XDD Most relatable for me, one hundred percent.

Man, somehow this topic meandered around to WFS 😂 I guess it was only a matter of time

Like I’ve mentioned on the WFS strand, I’ve done basically all the things. It’s a favorite book series of mine.

I’ll have to find some of my WFS art…

I plot out character arcs with the three-act story structure, and leave the actual external events to be pantsed. ‘Cause I’m a plantser and proud of it. The sense of wonder doesn’t disappear, but you have an idea of where the story’s going.

@mineralizedwritings

Wait wait wait until you read the last book, ‘dead’ isn’t exactly right

Aurgh, that’s all I can say…

My charries tend to be a mix of both.

For example, my pet RP character, Sebastian, has no problem speaking his mind, whether it be filled with genuine honesty or loud insults. But he just doesn’t like people. They give him a headache.

It’s like they aren’t afraid of socializing – they just choose not to. So they all have hints of ambivert, but…[Read more]

Yeah, the first book is definitely not the best (especially with the repetitive Fang escapades), but it had enough quirkiness that I was instantly entertained.

@mineralizedwritings

It’s… complicated

I’ll say this much, you might not interpret it that way.

@esther-c Nice to meet you, Your High Wingfeathery-nes. Ah, yes, royal siblings XD

It had a different tone than the trailer, didn’t it?  The pacing had Veggie Tale fingerprints all over it.

@sarafini

😂😭 I know. For me, it was like – asdfghjkl WHY

Why

Why…

But it also makes sense, and I sorta like it that way

Oh, I invested in the show, and my name’s in the credits! Well. Actually they put my dad’s name on accident. Buuuut IT’S THERE BECAUSE OF ME

Also nice to meet you again 😋

@sarafini Well, you could either rewrite the second book, just like you did the first, or (if you’re aware that the first book needs rewriting) just keep in mind what you might change in the first. I guess it depends on the situation.

Your second book might be better written than the first by nature, so you could write it the way you want it, and…[Read more]

Oh, I looooove Lamplighter Theater, especially The White Gypsy, The Giant Killer, oh, and Sir Malcolm and the Missing Prince…

In conclusion, yes I am! Never written one, but I’ve always wanted to. I’d love to hear about your projects.

(Btw, I glance at Story Embers ever once in a while, and I think someone mentioned this topic there before.…[Read more]

I know I’m late to the party… But I’d like to give thanks too. 🙂

I’m thankful that God has kept me safe and sound – for the most part 😂 – since 2020. I moved two times and changed school groups two times, all during the pandemic and in the height of my teen years. (The emotions!)

I did not die. Sure, I lost my marbles, but I didn’t…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6 Aw, thanks 😊 I can’t imagine some of my WIPs without art.
