Let us know how it goes, and if you need any more ideas!

@smiley

I like that idea! A few things that came to mind that might give you some ideas of how to start it:

• The story begins at the family get-together; I think showing the tension of the family relationships right at the start will give you an opportunity to then dive in and explore the causes of those tensions throughout the novel. However,…

Hi!

Where you’re going with this is interesting, I like the idea of having the inciting incident being a bunch of siblings with different kinds of baggage coming together for a holiday at their parent’s house, and here’s some different ideas with where to take it:

• The parents have to share some kind of news before the dad’s 50th…

Cool!! I have some questions (although I get that it’s a new story and of course you don’t have everything figured out yet 😅)

What is your main idea? The big unique thing that is going to happen in this story?

What makes you happy while writing Eliana specifically? What makes her the main character over everyone else?

@smiley

What’s your story about? I write contemporary too, so if you still need any ideas I might be able to help brainstorm.

@smiley

I don’t write contemporary, but here are some ideas!

Start somewhere a little after the first scene! That way, you don’t feel too stressed trying to make it sound perfect.

Explore your main character in a scene with conflict. The main purpose of the scene is to show off your character’s personality – but you want something to catch…[Read more]

That’s amazing! I’m sorry you had to go through all of that, but so glad she is better and you get to see her!

@freedomwriter76 @smiley @hybridlore
Woah, guys are we on wordpress now?? I got kinda worried for a bit there when I couldn’t access the forums 😅

@smiley

Awww, girl, I’m so sorry that you had to go through that! And I’m so happy for you that she was able to fight through it!

God still does miracles! <3

@keilah-h

That would be so cool!

@smiley

Thank you! 🙂

Yelena would be a really cool cosplay!

No idea what downtown abby is but I hope you have fun!!

@loopylin Thanks!

@smiley

Yeah! Oh, come to think of it, I am a lot like Zoe and Olivia as well.

I remember Tony and Brianna (I love the name Brianna)! I miss them, and the Mulligans (especially Lisa and Nick).

What happens to Kelly? I miss her!

@smiley @sarafini @trailblazer

I’m not sure if this is an RP or not…but if it is….I want to be Jules or Valerie. Unless one of you guys has any ideas for new characters I can RP. I know we all hate Valerie (well, hate’s a little extreme, but you know what I mean), so I want her to be a sympathetic villain arc, lol. I can show why she does…[Read more]

@sarafini @smiley

I’ve been wanting to ask this and keep forgetting… so here we are, finally:

Which Odyssey character would you be, or which one is the most like you?

I would be one of the oldies… Lucy Cunningham-Shultz. She’s a newspaper editor, for starters, and I was a newspaper editor when I was in public school, too. As I was reading…[Read more]

Jules

I can’t believe he did that, I just can’t! I bury my face in my pillow and hold back my hot tears of anger. I hate him. He stole everything from me! First he moves away, now he ditches me just because we don’t believe the same things? 

I let the pillow muffle my sobs. And Elizabeth. How could she? She kne…[Read more]

@smiley

I love the Labyrinth! I love British accents, lol.

Sue AKA Sewer Rat, haha!

I love her 🙂

Emmy

They were late.

So what else is new? she wondered as Mother herded her and her four siblings into the carriage like a mother hen.

“Do I look okay?” Ada turned to her husband and tucked stray hairs behind her ear.

“Darling, you are beautiful as always,” he replied and softly kissed…[Read more]

@sarafini @smiley

I wish Mitch hadn’t gotten married to someone else… that made me upset lol. But I agree, I like Jason and Jillian together.

Oops, meant to tag @smiley, not @savannah_grace2009….

But since I tagged you, Sara, I think we agreed that Bennett and Christine would be an a cute couple, right?
