PrincessFoo replied to the topic Weird Things People Tell Me 'Cause I'm a Writer in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 10 months ago
@jenwriter17 This sounds like fun!
Once, at my book club, I was talking about the Chronicles of Narnia, and how I loved the narrator’s voice in the story. My friend said something like, “Oh, you listened to it on audio book?” Then I proceeded to stumble through an explanation of how I meant the style of writing and stuff, thinking “This is…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Cool! My story is about a girl who gets transported to another world and has to save it from this evil-doer. (It actually sounds really cliche when I say it like that. Hopefully it’s not.)

PrincessFoo replied to the topic Irrational or Rational? in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 10 months ago
@inkling-for-christ This seems like a cool story. Maybe you could have a character that is like a mathematical/scientific/engineering genius who secretly is a dreamer, and uses his logic skills to help the dreamers. Like if he was an engineer he might make a secret room for them to meet and do their art.
I don’t know if this is relevant, but…[Read more]

@sam-kowal That’s so cool! I feel like there is a story idea somewhere in this…
You know you are a writer when you get story ideas from hearing cool facts.

PrincessFoo replied to the topic The Elements of Elemental Cliche… in the forum Fantasy 6 years, 10 months ago
@warrioroftherealm As the others said, I think this is a trope, not necessarily a cliche. My advice would be to find very creative ways for the characters to use their powers, besides the standard combat. Perhaps the fire elemental-ist can also sense heat, and tell when an enemy is hiding around a corner through their body heat. Borrowing from the…[Read more]

Thanks for tagging me @dekreel
This is more for fantasy or sci-fi. If you have something in your world that is different than the real world, you should think out how it will impact every part of your storyworld, as much as possible. It is better to have fewer, well-thought out changes, than many small, shallow…[Read more]

PrincessFoo replied to the topic How to (realistically) kill a dragon in the forum Plotting 6 years, 11 months ago
Dragons! I love dragons. There is a lot of variation across stories between them though, so it really depends on the dragons in your story. If you are going to have a lot of fights with dragons, than they are probably going to be less powerful than say, Smaug. Here are some things to keep in mind in dragon fights.

@princesswriter It is wonderful to meet another princess. Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!
Wow, ten countries? I’ve never been outside of the country. I like to read fantasy too. Do you have a WIP?

PrincessFoo replied to the topic This Introduction Needs Refining in the forum Novel Critique Requests 6 years, 11 months ago
I really liked Alfred’s voice too. I only write in first, so I am not exactly sure how it is different than third, but just first is really where the personality of the character comes out. @introvert_girl summed it up pretty well.
The only thing I would change is I’m studying writing in a university. I don’t think you can study “…[Read more]

PrincessFoo replied to the topic How Do I Write a Sad Ending?! in the forum Plotting 6 years, 11 months ago
@jenwriter17 I think an important thing is that the character needs to reach the story goal. (Though I may be wrong on this…) They might have something they thought they were reaching for the entire story, but it turns out it was just something else. They don’t reach the origonal goal, but they meet the second one. OR, they can reach the story…[Read more]

@introvert_girl This looks like fun!
Aliyah would rather have a t-rex the size of a dog. (Easier to care for.) She would rather have her family forget her than she forget them. They are such as huge part of who she is, she loves them so much.
Would your character rather read a poorly-written book, or watch a poorly-made movie?
Aliyah would…[Read more]

@leilani-dove My favorite book is Winter, my favorite character is Cress (seriously. I love her so much!), and my favorite ship is Kinder. What about you?
@daughteroftheking and I realized that every major character had a ship other than Levana. So we ship her with death. LeDeath!

I call this diabolical conference into order! *dims lights* *lightening flashes* If we are going to take over the world we have to do it properly. By that I mean we must have a super complicated and cliche plan with at least one crucial weakness the enemy can exploit.
