here’s the first chapter cuz I’m too lazy to dig for it lol XD XD

I bury my face in Bear’s fur and concentrate on the slow, steady rhythm of his breaths, my tears drenching his soft coat.

He whimpers as I squeeze him to my chest a little harder than I meant to.

“I’m sorry,” I whisper, scratching him lightly behind his ear.

I’m l…

(It deleted my post for some reason)

So I just saw the other comments saying that the setting isn’t as big a deal. Personally I think setting is very important, but it also depends on who you are as the author, and what kind of story you want to write.

Maybe @thearcaneaxiom could help? (Sorry if she already tagged you.)

No problem, thanks for the tag!

@esther-c

So this is a good thing to be aware of when writing your story. Your definitely right that you want to have your setting more tied into the plot. I like how Brandon Sanderson puts it: Character, setting, and conflict are the three pieces, and the plot is the glue that keeps them together in a story.

You care about your characters,…[Read more]

Patricia MacLachlan was a children’s author, yes. But I still find her books interesting. Her most well known, “Sarah, Plain and Tall,” would be about the thickness of a thin beginner’s novel, if that gives you any idea. I’m not sure how to classify her genre. You can read a sample of “Sarah, Plain and Tall” on Amazon to give you an i…

I think I lean more toward hard world building. While I have written some projects for fun where literally anything can happen, I love thought-out structure and processes in books (especially when it takes something from reality and kinda twists it).

Cool! Yeah, I’m definitely a hard worldbuilder. I definitely appreciate soft…[Read more]

@hybridlore @trailblazer @anyone-else

Sef

She gasped as the door swung open and shrank back.

Chase strode forward and in a terrifying moment he became a terrible writhing snake.

She watched in awe as he demanded the release of his friend, unsure whether to be afraid or proud of her new friend.

Sorry guys…that RP was really cringe haha! But I hadn’t done a Sef…[Read more]

Liv laughed. “Yeah…Xandro is a bit impulsive at times.”

@esther-c

Liv

She inhaled sharply as Lukas briefly pulled her into his arms.

“Thanks,” she sighed, smiling at him, “I needed that. When Aubrielle died…” she sighed. “Our family just fell apart. My brothers and parents were distant, and I’d just felt so alone…and then they sent me to school. All I had was Xandro. It’s been a long time since…[Read more]

@thelittlejupitertion

Hey, I imagine characters singing songs, too! I’ve never bothered to count my ocs, so I have no idea lolol

Lol cool!! I was starting to believe that I was the only one who does that!

Oh, I see, lol. 😀

I mostly write in third person, but really it depends on the kind of book I’m writing. There are some books that are jus…

This is cool! I like the alphabet. So what makes Yojieo unique? How does it tie to its native speakers and their culture?

Hmm… oof, I haven’t yet thought about that. I’ll have to think for a little, and maybe I’ll have an answer later. 😅
