well, my stories are mostly fan fiction anyway so that could be considered a part of it—like, I love (insert fandom) so much I can’t help but write stuff for it. Even in my original works, this bleeds through—Headstriker, Coal, and Chisel, some OC’s I created for a story I’m writing with a friend, were based off various combinati…[Read more]

@esther-c

I don’t knowww 😭 I’ve seen it written like that in books before, but I feel like if I changed it to italics it would carry a different sound… Idk, what do you think? I was unsure on this too, lol

Mmm. If that’s how other books do it, I guess it could work. I looked it up and some people say to extend the vowels and smooth conso…[Read more]

@grcr

LOL I love these parts. 💛💛

Aww, thanks! 🥰 Me too 🤪

Would you want to write this differently… ? before I saw the “she drew out her name” part, my mind read it that she spelled it out. (Maybe I’m just crazy…?)

Hey guys, I posted the first Topic of the Week question since last year! (I hesitated to post it for quite some time.)

@savannah_grace2009 ^^

@theshadow @keilah-h @theducktator @linus-smallprint @ellette-giselle @savannah-grace2009

Chapter 11! I’m not totally decided if I’ll completely reduce down to one a week in the future, so you may get a few surprise double chapters, but this week there’s only one.

Also, TCoH has become my longest project at just over 33k words and about 100 W…[Read more]

@everyone

Check out Topic of the Week!!

@keilah-h

That looks so good right now… I wish I was a good enough baker to make that on a whim.

@linus-smallprint

Yay for spring and positive temperatures! But I’m sure somewhere in Canada there’s still snow on the ground. 😉

Outlining, fun. Or not fun. I hope it goes well.

@keilah-h

Of course!

@whalekeeper oooh I like the skylight idea! I might use that, thanks!

@loopylin

idk, KP actually glitched one time because highscribe called me such things so it blocked me for being a threat or something. I’m gonna look back and see what she said. I may end up doing it and scaring a few newbies.

Well, because the pocket knife is replaceable. Change isn’t too hard to come by. The picture….. well he can’t get…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Hm… You can go this route. I put a skylight on the train car as a light source. It’s exaggerated so you get the idea.

Otherwise, if you don’t want another light source, I’d say just shade as if the sun is above. A glow still falls on us during a cloudy day, even if it doesn’t lead to sharp shadows.

@anyone remotely good at shading

I can’t shade for two scales. Anyone wanna help me figure out where to shade this redraw of Sniper and Medic?

For context, they will be standing on top of a train in the mountains, and there is no definitive light source to be seen (the sun is covered over by clouds and there aren’t many lights on this sec…[Read more]

@theshadow it still took me a while to get it right, but considering I was only doing a headshot (pun intended) it was done quickly since I didn’t have to worry about anything under his neck.

@ellette-giselle Do you really kill off that many characters? XD

I would’ve gone for the photo. Nothing like a good photo to hold hostage. 😉

I guess my brain just doesn’t work like that. How could that be helpful?

Bro, I was literally like smashing the submit button and it took forever for that response to post 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

@savannah_grace2009

My story is not a lighthearted, hopeful story, at least in the beginning. Right now it’s supposed to be “depressing” and dark. Honestly, to add sprinkles of hope in wouldn’t work for what’s going to happen in the next few chapters. Because right now, none of my characters know God, and so without God there is no hope. I want to…
