CDL stands for Character Deveolpment Lounge.

Oh okay. Yeah, the people who ran the roleplays often had a 6 person limit cuz the forum is super chaotic and active so lol

Thanks, everyone!

My computer doesn’t like this forum for some reason, so it’s hard for me to respond to everyone individually. (My side, not your side. It glitches and stuff on my side :P)

Anyways, your advice has helped a lot!

I still can’t decide if I am a pantser or plotter.

I had the idea for a thriller. A man whose daughter is killed on her way home from school, then he (just a ordianry dad) goes on a path of revenge to hunt the killer down. Only to find himself caught up in a world of…[Read more]

What is your favorite variety of pancake? …. Normal? idk lol I like to top pancakes with scrambled eggs and syrup.

So I tend to drop the project a few chapters in, or I’ve tried plotting a project, only to find out it isn’t a story. And more of just “vibes.” I’ve never dropped a project in the middle, I just push past.

I used to read all the time, but I found myself reading bad romance books, I hadn’t meant to find. So it pretty much…[Read more]

I’ve been writing for two years, and in that time, I’ve written six drafts of projects. So I know how you sort of go through a honeymoon phase with each project. (At least, I do.) So I know imposter syndrome and writer’s block can be defeated… but I just don’t think this is…[Read more]

Thank you! I’m homeschooled too! I’ve been homeschooled my whole life lol.

-Hmmmm. Gael, Tavion and Raven.

– Ooooohhh boyyyy. Thats hard to answer. Farenheight…[Read more]

It smelled sweet and had a strong sense of peace. Men of white stood about.

The room had rows of chairs and a small stage-like structure at the front of the room. On the stage-like structure was a Man of White. His almost gold blond hair gleamed in the light that radiated from every Man In White and his own.

He…[Read more]

Nestled into the valley sat a village. Old and dreary.

There was no blue sky.

No birds chirping.

And all green was gone as if something had removed it all.

The village of Nis was covered in a dark mist. The darkness that had come long ago. Creatures ran free. Deceiving and harming the faint…[Read more]

lol. My first book was only like 25k

Idk if I’ll delete mine. It’ll just haunt me from the google docs of unfinished and half finished projects XD

Thanks! Lol, I guess I have a little. Hmm, my favorite part of writing is probably… drafting. NOT DRAFT 2 OR 3!!! They are painfullllll.

My least favorite is editing, and draft 2-3.

I work with succulents, and vegtables. So many.. I can’t name them all XD

Hmmm, my favorite name? Jared maybe?

HELLO STELLA 😀 TYSM

Yeah!

Okay, so the first one I wrote was a spy mystery/triller it was my first novel, and therfore my trash novel XD Idk what it was about tbh… it was crazy.. I pansted it fully lol My second is a Biblical Allagory, like Pilgrims Progress meets Hinds Feet in High Places. Its about the village outcast who learns of a kingdom…[Read more]

Thanks so much!!

Oh thanks you! And nice to meet you!

She bought me OYAN!(One Year Adventure Novel)

If you could ride a dragon for a day, or own a horse for a lifetime, which would you choose?

No brainer! Horse ofc!

Do Jellybeans count as food?

No 😛

Oh yes! Thank you! Hmm. Favorite books : A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers, Farenheight 451 by Ray Bradbury and Animal Farm by George Orwell!

I would spend a week with my charrie Reverie!

I’d want a weapon that shoots ice 😛

I have been writing my whole life, but started to take it more seriously when my mom purchased me a writing curriculum two years ago.

I have written two books already, one I wrote in a year and it will never see the light of day XD The other, my passion project, is on the shelf…[Read more]

The highest word count I have for a project is 20,068 words. Unfortunately that project has been long abandoned, but I hope to exceed that word count with a new story! What about you?

The highest I have is 17.5k. Also a long-abandoned project 🙂

Out of curiosity, what is your favorite book/movie of LotR? I’m a Two Towers girl…[Read more]

That is about what happens to me 😂 I often will think up like movie characters that seem to fit the one I’m trying to write and then base a lot of stuff of that as far as appearance goes. Once I took a character, based them off of Han Solo, and then called him Harrison. I was feeling really creative. 🤣

Thank you so much!! I actually really like that 10 milestone framework! I have heard of the 5 milestone framework and have attempted using it before, however I then realized that it absolutely destroys my plot when I have to fill in gaps by pantsing 😅 I will definitely try this!

@whalekeeper

Is it possible that the structure…

What inspired your story?

So this is actually a culmination of several of my other creative projects. I am working on a short story collection as well, and this novel is set in the same world. It is fun to have characters that can reappear to tell a new story, as well as creating new ones to get to know! I also have a story that exists…[Read more]

Thank you very much for the advice!! I appreciate it! That’s one of the beautiful things about there being so many writers out there: everyone has different ways of doing things.

I am definitely a character-first writer, it’s just translating who my characters are and how they interact with the world into plot beats…[Read more]

Thank you! That actually helps a ton!!!
