SLAYING SARAAAA ✨✨

@hybridlore @savannah_grace2009

Let me know if anything in this section sounds strange or unrealistic. Some parts feel a little awkward to me, and I want to know if it feels that way to other readers or if it’s just me.

In early September, the first cornshucking of the season took place. Mama had finally agreed that I was old enough to go,…[Read more]

Oh also (I’m sorry, if you can’t tell I have a lot of info on the topic to share) if you look up what ptsd is like you’ll know more about those flashback reactions. I have no idea how real they are but I see them all the times in books, and books generally aren’t a good source of reference.

@savannah_grace2009

Oh and I saw you said you needed help with how they would act after trauma and abuse, so I’ll add on a little more.

Everyone I think will have a slightly different reaction, but seeing as it’s a relative, it depends on what their relationship was like before this started. Did it start when she was young? If so, she likely…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

This is a great question!

I totally understand the thing with your parents. I don’t show my work to my parents or many people either, just because I don’t know what people would think of it. Teenagers in general like dystopian/ darker genre’s I think, so it might be harder for them to understand why you write it. The world…[Read more]

Oh yeah, whoops. 😅

Ok, well, then I’ll reconsider adding her in. 😉

@savannah_grace2009

I think one of the best ways of writing uncomfortable/painful or possibly edge subjects is to merely state the facts and then be done, that’s how the Bible does it. (Perhaps, look at similar instances in the Bible and see how they are written.) You don’t need all the details. Sometimes the most powerful things said, are the…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009
What you could do is make a google doc and post the chapters in there instead and update them, to make it easier for everybody to see the changes and the general order of the story.

@savannah_grace2009
This is the way I think about plotting (mind you, I’m not that good at it lol!):
Think of the plot as something that can be repeatedly divided. On the highest level we have the entire story. That can be split up into exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. At that point, you can figure out what parts…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

I don’t really know much about abuse effects or anything like that other than I’ve read in books, thankfully. One thing I would ask is, is it absolutely necessary to the plot/character? Because I think that can really easily become a cliched, sort of stereotypical in books, so if you’re just throwing it in there to make the…[Read more]

“Here,” Kari stepped closer to Ottoline and offered her her hand. “Pretend I’m the boy, and you’re the girl. The boy holds out his hand like so and asks, may I have this dance?” They both burst out laughing as Kari mocked Hugo’s deep voice. “

🤣 Thats great.

I will see if I have time to write a piece today!

@savannah_grace2009

Thanks! That seems to be the overall consensus. “confusing but the good kind.”

@jonas

Oh yeah, this is actually part of the tail end of the first era of my septer. So civilization is sufficiently advanced in many ways, but it has degraded to dystopia and war. The ones referred to as the phantoms or simply “They” were…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Okay, here’s my advice. Plotting works for some people, but for the rest it doesn’t. If outlining kills your creative process, then don’t worry about doing it. I think it’s a lot of just experimenting and finding out what works for you. For me, I’m more of a pantser, but I usually know a few events that are going to happen in…[Read more]

@esther-c

She looks really cool!

@keilah-h @esther

I believe when Savannah made this rp she said one character each?

@savannah_grace2009 what’s the verdict?

@savannah_grace2009 OOOH

Now I just have to think of a character to invite.

Am I allowed to come too? In which case I’ve got one already.

@trailblazer @mineralizedwritings @acancello @savannah_grace2009 @grcr @freedomwriter76

Ok, I’m going to add in a new character, if everyone’s okay with that. This is Amir’s love interest throughout his story.

Shirin (pronounced Shi-reen) Hedieh al Azar
(just like Amir, everyone calls her by her second name)

Appearance: thick, curly, dark br…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Ahh, yes, mother and father are unique when it comes to the words in a language. The rule of thumb here is very simple, and comes in the form of a question, what can a baby babble? You actually find that the words for Mother and Father in almost every language follows this rule. And the idea of maternal sounds and paternal…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Thanks! I am doing a chaotic board now also, its one of my best so far! I’ll share it when I’m done (Its one for Shauna)
