I’m kind of bored and I just wanted to pop in on this conversation cuz I find it really interesting!

If my brother were to accuse me of not caring (which might actually happen), I would get even more frustrated because I would want to care more, but find myself unable to.

YES THIS IS SO ME! I mean I’d definitely…[Read more]

Maybe it wasn’t in this forum…but I know I heard it somewhere, lol!

Did I just hear that most girls want to be held and comforted?!?!?

I’m not like this AT ALL!

I prefer to sob on my bedroom floor by myself and when my family comes in I pretend like I’m fine XD

and then when I do work up the courage to tell someone what’s bothering me…

I do not want to be held…I want someone to tell me how to fix the probl…[Read more]

The dragon took to the skies, soaring after the bird.

“Cowards!” She exclaimed at the boys down below. “If the can’t handle surprises in life, then they won’t live long.” Her great head turned, one purple eye trained on the three boys on her back, holding onto the spines along her backbone. “But you deserve my help. With me on…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

As a professional human male, I would be happy to offer some of my thoughts. What I think should be realized is that when it comes to gender, not every man is the same, and not every woman is the same. Men and women will have general differences, but a man can still be masculine while still showing off what might be considered…[Read more]

@anyone

This might sound really weird, but I have no idea how to write girls. Sure, I can write emotions and stuff, but they usually become copies of each other personality wise, and even weirder, they aren’t copies of me. Estelle, Nae, Narsa and Ilsa are basically the only girls I’ve written who feel unique. Help?

@ellette-giselle

As you know, I’m not a guy, but I do like to write guys and I have two brothers (technically three, but he doesn’t count)

Just as a tip in general, it helps to think about the roles God made a man or a woman to fill. Woman are the emotionally unstable mothers, while men are the factual, rational fathers who keep the wives from…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I’m obviously not a guy, but my advice would be to find a happy medium between those two extremes. (Unless he actually would be on one end of the spectrum). Try to think of him as simply a character. Keep in mind that he’s a guy, but don’t get so caught up in that that you give him a reaction that isn’t consistent with his per…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint @ellette-giselle

This is a great topic! Maybe instead of just focusing on gender differences, it should extend to different personalities too? I for one would be interested to hear other people’s descriptions of how they process things and react to circumstances (and how it relates to their personality) even if they’re also…[Read more]

@calyhuge

Sara told me to just rp for her if I needed to. Whether you tag her or not I don’t think will change anything.

A smile played once again on her lips as she watched Slick and the rest separate Chase and his hoodie.

Our work here is done,” Slick grinned. “Milady? He’s all yours.” He and the other two stepped aside. So polite.<…[Read more]

Silvanis

“The only question is why, though, and how.”

“Honestly, I’d almost say my mother and sisters, if you weren’t involved.” Silvanis casually crossed his arms again. “Don’t get me wrong, she isn’t some kind of sorcerous villain like my…[Read more]

@rae

I would encourage you to play around with it and see what you like. This is a first or second draft, so I wouldn’t worry too much about the POVs being in the right place.

But yeah, I really like what Calyhuge suggested. Sometimes you just have to write and figure it out as well. Definitely write from both POVs in this part of the draft, t…[Read more]

@theshadow

You tagged me, but this never came up in my email, so sorry for the late response😕

I’m pretty much on the same vain as Whale. Rivals is a pretty general term, but usually you’ll see some parallels between them.

There can be the kind of rival where they are simply trying to one up each other, simply prove that they are superior in…[Read more]

@rae

I second @ellette-giselle, but I would probably make the larger portion of it Mandin’s, and then a shorter scene/s from Nahim’s point of view. Being inside the mind of a character who’s depressed and delirious can be disorienting (wow, alliteration there lol.) Except if the rest of the book is from Nahim’s POV–then, it might be better just…[Read more]

@keilah-h

I guess so.

Probably should put some tags on this:
