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]

Oh, shyiads have two types of venom, and one type of poison. The first venom temporarily paralyzes, the second kills almost instantly. The poison can be coated on his scales, and absorbed into the skin. It makes it’s victim sick, and eventually will cause death if not treated. Chase is not using his poison or spines (nor his third fang) rn, only…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ooh, does Chase always have black scales/fur/whatever when he transforms? Or is it more of a whim?

He can change colors, but black or grey, with sometimes a sheen of green are like his default colors. He does master color changes and shifting later I his life, but rn it takes a lot out of him.

“It’s over, creepy black thing,” she said.

Oh my gosh…she’s great lol!

*everyone ignore that i just referred to my espresso as a “he”…XD”

I COULDN’T HELP MYSELF!!! *points to the espresso* HE STARTED IT! lol

@everyone

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]

Behold the shyiad!

Chase Duke

“No,” Chase whispered. He knew what it was like on his own world to be deceived with Black Sorcery, but that was weak Chase, not godling Marcel. “Marcel, no! Resist!” Frantic, with eyes yellow, Chase stepped forward, taking off his hoodie and whispering for Sef to…[Read more]

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

@savannah_grace2009

Lukas 

“Man… th-that must be, be tough. B-but I’m glad we’re able to be here for you.” He offered a smile. “Because if it was just you and Xandro, then Xandro might get you in trouble. You saw what he did to me.”

@thelittlejupitertion

Cool!! I’ll have to check it out!

@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]

It’s just a short story, and it is meant to be simple. Often the simplistic things are the hardest. What I love to write are the things that draw out a certain trait, make the reader to stop and think, or are often not done.

Even though Blake is only planned to be for this story, the struggle of “am I a hero or a villain” is Alpha’s.

My dream vacation would probably be to visit Africa, it’s just so beautiful!

That would be so cool!!

Of course, the first character to pop into my mind is Jack. He’s a man made out of yarn (long story lol), and he’s super clumsy and hilarious, but it’s partly a ruse to hide his guilt and loneliness. He also knows a lot mor…

Ooh, that sounds really neat, I’d definitely read something like this! I can’t think of any feedback to give rn. But yeah, I love the idea! Tag me if you end up posting it!
