@everyone-who-replied
That’s interesting! Thanks! Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I know that Word is used more professionally, but most everyone I knew before Kingdom Pen who wrote stories used Docs. I had one friend who only used Word, but she was the most serious writer.
I might have to research the comments thing, but I just started leaving…[Read more]

That’s exactly what I feel, like ALL THE TIME!!! I’m glad I’m not alone, XD
Really?? That’s good to know, I guess XD. I j ust can get so involved in my writing and I really enjoy it, it worries me sometimes that I guess… I love it too much? XD But I’ve been praying about it, and I think like 98% of it comes from my OCD, so it…[Read more]

Hey everyone! Just curious–which do you prefer for your writing, and why? (And if use use another program, what is it?)
I used to use Google Docs, but when I started writing again I switched to Word. I don’t like how laggy Docs gets, but Word disappoints me sometimes. Mainly because I’ll leave comments and they disappear, and it only saves your…[Read more]

Great topic, Sara!! @jonas had a great point on that. It’s hard, but just try to remember that if God wants you to be published, He’ll make it happen. I don’t struggle as much with that fear because of self-publishing XD. I figure if I end up finishing some books, if no one wants them I’ll either just keep writing or publish…[Read more]

Do you know anything else about the character? How much of the book will he be in.
You could always try opening a blank doc and just talking to yourself about him… I usually am able to figure things out through just ranting and asking myself questions like that. I think it’s called an Everything Page?

And haha, you’re not alone, girl. I just started working on two new projects 😆

I could totally see myself doing that XD I just make up names on the spot sometimes.

No problem, thanks for your input! I think I’m just going to try to make up something else to power them. I don’t want to go too far into all the science behind it, but I just wanted something to explain how the spaceships worked. It’s kind of just one of those things you have to brainstorm a bit for, so I’ll do that eventually.

hybridlore replied to the topic Worldbuilding help and discussions! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
Hmm, maybe? XD I think for what I was thinking of, it would need to have some sort of impact on the area around it, so yeah, I don’t think it would. Thanks, though!
-
hybridlore replied to the topic Worldbuilding help and discussions! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
Oh, so, these spaceships you’re creating run on sound somehow, and you want help thinking of a different way to power them?
Basically XD. It was just a random idea that I had, and I wondered if there was any actual way sound could be used like that. But yeah, since there isn’t, I need to come up with a different way that they work or else j…[Read more]

hybridlore replied to the topic Worldbuilding help and discussions! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
It doesn’t require sound to work in space at all, it just needs some way for starships to be powered.

hybridlore replied to the topic Worldbuilding help and discussions! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
Oops, my bad! I mean suggestions for other ways they could work. Yeah, that would require a lot of changes to this world XD

hybridlore replied to the topic Worldbuilding help and discussions! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
I just did some research and found out that, XD. That does make sense, though. I’m just not sure how the mechanics are going to work behind the starfighters in a new idea I’m following, and that popped into my head. Do you have any suggestions?
-
hybridlore replied to the topic Worldbuilding help and discussions! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
I would think with enough debris and space junk, there would be enough matter for the sound waves to bounce off. Is that wrong?
-
hybridlore replied to the topic Worldbuilding help and discussions! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
So, this might be a really dumb question . . .
There isn’t any sound in space because there isn’t anything for the sound waves to bounce off of–but in a world (think sort of similar to Skyward by Brandon Sanderson) where battles are fought from not far off the surface of planets to anywhere in deep space, is there any way sound…[Read more]

Happy Thanksgiving!!
How have you been?
Hi! Thanks for asking, that means a lot 🙂
I have been pretty good, since we moved and left our family in CA we had Thanksgiving by ourselves and got to make everything from scratch. We decorated for Christmas today to XD Have you decorated yet?
My WIP is also going petty good I am at 59,500 words now and I should be done this month with the…[Read more]
@acancello
If you don’t send me a copy of your book………AHHH! I NEED MORE HUGO SCENES! I LOVE HIM!!!!!!! BUT I KNOW VIKKI DIES SO IT WILL BE SOOO SAD BUT I DON’T CARE I STILL WANT TO READ EVERY SINGLE HUGO SCENE!!!!!!!!!
Lol!!!! I actually might not have Vikii die, Hugo seems to need her in his life. I honestly am thinking super hard about it though, my brother is all like “You better keep Vikii, Allison or I will give your book a one star review!” XD I know he really wont but the thought is hilarious. Ill try to post some scenes today…
oooh yessssssssssss! I actually think that Vikii dying might be a good character arc…unless of course it’s not necessary. Maybe she gets shot and ALMOST dies or something. that way they realize how important they are to each other. just a thought.
(btw, don’t be suprised if I gush over Hugo…I LOVE HIMMM!)
@acancello
forgot to tag you!
@acancello
Of course! It’s been a while since I talked to you!
Oh, cool! Was it weird without a lot of family there? We’ve always lived really far away from my grandparents and cousins, so I don’t think we’ve ever had family over for Thanksgiving. But my mom’s parents and her brother’s family are thinking about moving out here soon.…[Read more]
It’s currently at like 3k lol
@savannah_grace2009
Hi! How are you?
Hey! Thanks for asking! I’ve been good. I’ve been struggling to find motivation to write, and kind of doubting myself, so writing’s slow. But otherwise, I’m great! I WAS at 23K….but then I HAD to screw up everything, so I started over and am now at 15K. How are YOU?
@savannah_grace2009
Ugh, I’m sorry! Doubting yourself is the worst. 15k already? That’s really good! Why did you decide to start over?
@hybridlore
I had a mentor tell me that my plot was all over the place. He “didn’t see where I was going” and it was “too depressing”. After reading that, I was depressed XD but then I sort of realized he was kind of right (as much as I hated to admit he was right lol), and decided to start over. It wasn’t completely starting over; I kept the same…[Read more]
@savannah_grace2009
Oh, gotcha! XD Aw, yeah. Feedback is hard but your story will benefit from it! I’m glad it’s going well!
@savannah_grace2009
I think that is what I’m going to go with, her almost dying, and her realizing that she actually likes him. 🙂
@acancello
I can’t wait for that scene! It’s going to be sooooo adorable!!!!!!!!!
@hybridlore
It was a little weird without any family there since we have been doing it for my whole life, it was also really quiet and not as exciting. I mean, last year me and my cousins got in a car/golf cart crash. 😅 Long story, (no one was hurt!)
Thanks, I’m pretty surprised that I have been sticking with my WIP this long, lol!
I also…[Read more]
Oh goodness, a golf cart crash??? (that’s good no one was hurt!)
Yeah. My cousin whos 2-3 years younger than me was driving and I was in the passenger seat and all the others were in the back . She (not trying to be mean or anything) but she did not pay attention to anything around her. Her brother was chasing the cart trying to jump in and everyone was yelling at him to stop, she turned around, but kept her…[Read more]
