Now I’m curious… I’ve never heard those terms before. What does plot tone and armor tone mean?

@rae

Yeah, like everyone else said, I think it’s normal. For me it’s sometimes scary to share my writing, I don’t know why. It just feels so personal. My mom and my sister read my stuff sometimes, too, though. It’s almost easier to let…[Read more]

@rae

Ah, sharing your writing with your family. This is an ongoing joke in our household. Mom and Dad have only read a couple short stories I’ve written, even though I claim to be writing a few books. So every time the topic of writing comes up, it’s like, “If she actually writes…” 😂

I personally just don’t like sharing something with non-wr…[Read more]

“And if we really hate it, we can just leave,” Liv added.

Lukas chuckled. “Very true.”

He let his eyes roam the room as their conversation fell into a lull. He noticed Chase sitting against the wall and Callista glance back at him. Callie was smiling, but fresh tears sparkled in her eyes. Fynn seemed to be worried…[Read more]

@rae

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

@rae

*chuckles menacingly*
Why is it we’re always in a slump unless there is a threat of great bodily harm or death out upon our charries XD

@rae

I don’t share my writing with my family, either. A while ago (like back in middle school) I would write stories about a fictional family, based off of my family, and re-tell my family’s vacations that way. I let my brothers read some of those, and they were criticizing it left and right, so I stopped letting them read my writing.

I agree…[Read more]

@rae

His friends are just a touch worried. And I think they have a right to be worried. 😳😉

@rae

Ah, I go to CC too! It’s great ❤️

It’s okay to be the quiet kid in the group. Every group has a quiet kid, and that doesn’t even mean you have to act that way all the time. But I understand what you mean; I’ve had people call me the group therapist, just because I listen and monitor what everyone’s saying.

I think if you aren’t happy with…[Read more]

@rae

I get what you’re saying. I have friends, but I don’t really know how to really get to know anyone anymore. I know my charries, and the girls I’ve known for ten years, but most new people have to meet me first. It’s who I’ve almost always been.

Oh that is totally me XD it’s really hard for me to have relationships and idk. I just don’t fit…[Read more]

Emmy

She wandered through the halls, desperately hoping for a clue. She loved mysteries, but solving one was pointless without any direction. Almost ready to give up, her heart skipped a beat when she noticed the back door was ajar. Slipping outside, she noticed that there was a stable, and…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium @jonas

Wait. How could you guys not know each other wrote??? I mean I talk about my writing constantly and my family can’t get me to shut up about it lol

Like seriously that’s all I talk about…

It’s just so weird to me that not everyone talks about writing like I do XD

@rae

I don’t think it’s wrong….though I’ve n…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

That’s great!! It’s so weird, but even though it’s such a huge fandom, I know hardly anyone who actually watches it 😂 I definitely want to read the comics eventually, just haven’t gotten around to it. It would be weird to see slightly different designs for the characters, but at the same time enlightening, I suppose. Lol. Di…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Oh, plotting is fun! XD

Yep! I’ve probably watched a reaction vid to alsmost every episode, but I haven’t watched the actual show in order. Anyways, I’m reading the cmoics from right after Zuko becomes firelord, it’s kinda funny to see the gaang still messing with him while he’s all dressed fancy like a king 😂

It’s a lot about Zuko…[Read more]

@rae

I wouldn’t say it’s weird to not share your writing with your parents. Actually I’d say it’s pretty normal. I only share poetry and some short stories, because I don’t like sharing things before they’re finished, and I’ve never finished a full-length fantasy novel 😅

I almost think it’s wrong. Shouldn’t they know what their only daughter wri…

@rae

I think it’s up to you. I don’t think there’s any sort of moral imperative here. I personally would rather keep my writing mostly private. (It feels different to share my writing with other writers.) For me, I prefer the idea of getting to present my family with something complete, or at least a nearly complete draft.

@rae

I think that would work. I think the idea is basically that the character has something that scares them.

@rae

This is true. I haven’t seen any of her actual writing either, and she hasn’t seen any of mine, due to me not having anything at all complete. Except that short story I posted a while back.

@rae

My parents don’t know anything about my writing.

I didn’t even know what Jonas was writing before he joined KP!

@loopylin @mineralizedwritings @freedomwriter76 @rae @anyonereally

My dad just did the craziest thing…

I sent him a message explaining the difference between plot armor and tone armor, because he heard me casually mentioning them and asked for definitions.

He then storms into my room a minute later, demanding me to tell him why I haven’t pub…[Read more]

Liliana

As Emmy slipped away from the table, Liliana’s eyebrow rose in curiosity. Where was she going? It was time to eat; the servants would be bringing out the food at any moment. A sharp pain in her shin brought her attention to Adeline, seated next to her.

“It’s not polite to raise your eyebrow,”…[Read more]
