You have a point, but I’ll say again that it depends on the character. The more I see of a character, the more I’ll get to know them, and that’s why I feel like it’s important to have developed side characters. But characters without a major role in the story, definitely.

And yeah, that’s kind of what I was thinking, too. The way that…[Read more]

@rae

Lol! I know, it happens to me too. It just means you’re improving!

Great job on the chapter! I don’t think the italics worked, but it’s not a big deal. Can’t wait to read teh next one!

Here was some brainstorming I did on one of my character ideas!

Name (full, nickname, anything relevant to the story): Isabelle Merrida Cortess. She’s named after her ancestors (maybe an Isabelle who came on the original ship to colonize the planet).
Race/description: Unruly/frizzy dark reddish-brown hair, hazel brown eyes. Sort of tall for her a…[Read more]

So, I decided to create a doc and just put all the characters I’ve created into it and do the questionnaire for each of them in there, but one thing I realized is that this questionnaire doesn’t necessarily work for non-major characters. Side characters aren’t supposed to be super fleshed out, they’re supposed to be flat, so which questio…

@rae

Okay, yay!! XD

@kyronthearcanin

Okay! XD good! I’m glad it wasn’t annoying you, cause it was a lot of tags XD

Gotcha, yeah. Totally understand that.

@kyronthearcanin

Thanks for the tag!! You’re really saving me there XD I hope to be more active, especially once I leave YWW. (:

No problem XD hopefully it wasn’t getting annoying, I just keep seeing things that I’m like, “Oh Ava does that!” or whatever, so yeah XD. When are you leaving YWW?

@rae

That was really good! I’m super interested to s…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Yeah, I think so! Just might make it a little easier to understand XD I mean, in hindsight, they were at a corn shucking thing. I should’ve known they were talking about CORN ears XXD

@trailblazer

Nope, I think it’s just you XD I didn’t notice anything seeming weird, except I didn’t understand when Albert said, “We’ll see who gets the red ear of corn tonight!” until Dr. Hawley opened it. Anyway, I like Clara and him together so far!

@rae

Okay, I was just making sure! Hmm…. yeah, I would just tag anyone you know/people who asked about your WIP, but of course you don’t have to. It just helps them to see it.

I know that @loopylin and @kyronthearcanin write science fiction, so maybe they would be interested to read it? Sorry, I don’t know who you’ve met yet. Or maybe @whalekee…[Read more]

@grcr

Thanks! Of course!

@trailblazer

Sorry I never replied to this, but I still read it! I like where it’s going, lol. It’ll be interesting to see if Clara finds a husband XD

@jonas

I use it to mean negative traits, but you’re right, it’s a little confusing. I’ll change that.

@rae

Hi!! Sorry, I would’ve gotten to this earlier, I just didn’t even see it. Do you know how to tag people already or did you just not know who to tag?

It seems interesting so far! I think the biggest thing I noticed was that your paragraphs are really long — I think it would be easier to read if you split the paragraphs up, but that’s sort…[Read more]

@spinner4him

Yess!!! Read and reread them, they’re amazing. My family might be starting the first one as a read aloud, too! 😁 I’ve been trying to get my siblings to read them forever. Who’s your favorite character?

@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]

@hanako

Hi Nevaeh! It’s nice to meet you!

I’m hybridlore on here, or just Hybrid, a Christian, violinist, and sci-fi/dystopian writer. I’m also a homeschooler and enjoy doing lots of things! 😁

Okay, maybe you can revive the nonfiction section on here… I don’t know exactly what’s going on over there, but I don’t think it’s used very often.…[Read more]

@spinner4him

Yeah, I definitely like viola better, because of the sound, I guess. I don’t really know, but it just fits me better.

Yeah, I get that. It’s really similar to violin, just a little deeper, right? I don’t think you have an E string.

My inspiration for my WIP was a bunch of different books and one of my friends, who loves to imagine a…
