Hi, Lexi! I am a newbie as well! I am a few years older than you and I have been writing seriously most of my teen years. I have been homeschooled starting fifth grade. I would also be a lover of cats if I wasn’t allergic… but I do have a great affection for dogs.

Your story sounds extremely fascinating. I actually have a mildly similar idea on…[Read more]

Jade would rather be immortal, and Marian would only be immortal if she knew what her immortality would be like.

@devastate-lasting

Ooo… Nathan sounds interesting!

Would your character rather be a tightrope walker or a monster-truck driver?

Jade would sell an organ.

Marian would be indecisive, but probably sell her possessions. She doesn’t own much.

Would your character prefer to do good but be guilt-ridden over a crime in their past, or to be carefree but do evil constantly?

@gracie-j

Thanks for the tip! I have found a story i deeply desire to write one day, but I am still gathering ideas because all I have is a character I love and his family, a few friends of his, and a world that is incomplete. I might buckle down on his story once I’m out of school, but honestly I would rather start work on smaller projects and…[Read more]

Jade would prefer to go barefoot because heels are feminine in his world, but he would have to alter his entire wardrobe (he likes looking good and standing out). He would rather always be hungry.

Marian would want to go barefoot. She is more on the “Whatever’s most comfortable side of her life.” She would always be tired.

Would your character…[Read more]

Jade would eat out at fancy restaurants.

Marian would have takeout most of the time. She likes her space.

Would your character prefer to live in one place for their entire life or move constantly?

Jade would have real milk.

Marian would want the almond milk only if the real milk wasn’t whole.

Would your character prefer to avoid the foods they were allergic to or to eat them anyway?

@gracie-j

Also, thanks for the tip! I’ve been polishing like crazy!

@Gracie J.

I’ll probably share it once I’ve fixed a few things I’ve noticed.😊

I don’t exactly know what I intend to do with my short story. I have always liked the sound of publishing my work, and I feel I’d like to submit something to KP one day, but right now with school and all I don’t know if it will work out for me. But I always desire to…[Read more]

That’s really cool! I want to write a fantasy when I get the time (probably after I graduate) about my favorite character I have. He’s the second son of a king and is weak and skinny and training to be a priest, very smart for his age, and very much an ambitious perfectionist… and I fully intend to put him through a ton of crud.…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

I am happy to hear that your book is in it’s editing process! that must be so cool. The closest i ever came to publishing is sending my English assignments to my teacher and a draft for a TERRIBLE short story I sent to the teacher of a creative writing course at a local library a few years back.

By the way (this is for the whole…[Read more]

Jade and Marian would like soundproofing.

Would your character rather have bad seasonal allergies or bad animal allergies?

I am re-vising my first draft currently, and afterwards I am gonna be brave and ask y’all to read it and give me feedback if you feel like it.

Good luck on your first drafts! What are you working on?

Jade would get a unicycle.

I think Marian would get a unicycle just because the tricycle would remind her of a big wheel (if she lived on earth).

Would your character prefer to hear rap or bagpipes all day?

Jade wants to win, likes the sound of infamy, and would want to fly.

Marian wants to be on the losing side, would rather be in disguise as someone normal and not famous. she would want to pass through walls.

Would your character rather only think of harmful things to say or think of nothing to say at all?

For me, I agree that high-quality characters are a greatly integral part of my enjoyment.

For me, an extremely important thing for me is perhaps the level of darkness in a book. If the story is so heavily dark that it leeches into my daily life and messes me up, then I’m out. I want to read stories with great redeeming qualities that highlight…[Read more]

Jade would drop out, have the second best, and be the kisser.

Marian would also gladly drop out, she would want to be with the love of her life for two years, she would want to be bound to someone who was true (*cough* not Jade *cough, cough*). And she’d kiss someone to wake them up.

Would your character rather live the rest of their lives in…[Read more]

Jade would like the MONEY. in his world, everyone (except those in power) typically live in tiny apartments in huge complexes. If he was rich, he’d be able to afford a really nice spaceship to live on as a nomad. He likes his job as an assassin, he’s an adrenaline junkie. Jade is also a ham, so he would like the sound of being the tallest guy…[Read more]

Thanks! I was just dragging my feet because I have been known to give too much information before. But I really think having people outside my immediate circle of people to critique what i write will be a positive influence. 🙂
