@rae I like what you said about having certain habits.

@whalekeeper Interesting perspective, I hadn’t thought of it like that. I agree with both perspectives though, but for this character there is mostly a reason for why he’s serious.

@linus-smallprint The character’s name is Eldred, and he and his brother Percival are knights. He’s serious and…[Read more]

@rae

Lol my bad, I’m not correcting you! I’m saying a character can have an aura of seriousness and be hiding something, like you said, but they can also be completely honest if the author wants to go in that route. It’s really up to the person.

This might be more of a side thread, but it also helps to know how aware the character is of their own seriousness, and how aware they allow others to be when that seriousness pops up.

For example, the chewing-lip-denial @rae just mentioned suggests the character doesn’t know they are expressive in the first place, or it suggests the character…[Read more]

@rae

Hey, is it okay if I put Sef back in here??

@everyone

Has the dance happened yet??

@rae aww nice little poem! I missed it!

@rae

Whatever It Takes so fits Alpha! I’ve heard it!

@rae

hehe

Violet

The girl stepped back, still reserved. “Violet. Robotics engineer and programmer. Here on a temporary scholarship trip.”

@rae

Fyi she belongs to a mystery story. So she and the rest of her cast are very thorough when it comes to evidence/justice/whatever. ;]

Violet

“It means bringing you to justice for being irresponsible.” Violet raised an eyebrow, and held up the robot. “And I have the evidence to prove you guilty.”

Gage twisted its head around with a mel…[Read more]

@rae

Aw, I like little robot companions! They’re always so cute.

I redesigned her but forgot Gage existed for a while 😂 Originally he was a knockoff of Wall-e, which I won’t hold against my six-year-old self. Wall-e is an amazing movie.

Violet

Violet cocked her head. “And at how many inconvenient times have you scratched that itch?”

When the g…[Read more]

Coolsies 😛

Violet

“Gage, record.”

The robot’s eyes spun, clicking, and gazed sightlessly at the surrounding lawnscape.

“The experiment was a positive until power failed.” Violet bowed her head, hair falling over her chest. “We’ll try tomorrow. But at least, for now, we can get some key lime pie or something. Forgo any further advan…[Read more]

@rae

Oh, good idea bringing this back!

I might be able to participate if I can fit it in around school work. I hope I can.

@rae

Ooh, this looks fun! Do we just post our stories into this topic?

@rae

I almost said that I’m going to try to do this, but then I would have an excuse to not do it. Sooo… I AM going to do this! It think this prompt will stretch me a little bit, but it sounds fun!

@esther-c @whalekeeper @koshka @keilah-h @lightoverdarkness6 @elishavet-pidyon @rae @savannah_grace2009

Sooo, question.

I am advertising Freedom’s Fire as a YA novel, and I wanted to know what y’all thought about that. I def know that my books aren’t middle-grade, mostly because of some content being for older audiences (hinted or even shown…[Read more]

@rae

Hey girl!!!!! How are you doing?

I really want to read all your writing! I started reading the Google Doc you posted, but I can’t read it all tonight, haha!

Honestly, whenever you talk about your charries and worlds and planets I just get so lost…because there are SO MANY OF THEM! So I really want to read the actual writing so I won’t be…[Read more]

Now I have the full Riker scene 🥰👀✨

anyone wanna read??? 👀👀

His arms ached beneath the weight of the hefty wooden box; his fingers strained to keep a steady grip on the material.

Riker lifted the container onto a sturdy metal shelf; he pushed the large box back,…

@rae

All your replies are noted ;P

I saw somewhere that you have trouble with paragraph breaks. I love sequencing sentences, especially dialogue sentences, so I’ll give you some suggestions here in just a sec.

@rae @loopylin

I actually read an article a while back and it talked a little bit about why it didn’t do well
