@theacornman I know it’s been a while (like a year lol) and idk if you’re even still on here, but if you (or any other UK/Brit) are still interested I can send you my book now. It’s still not finished, but most of her storyline is covered.

@valtmy I guess “sprawling epic” would be a good phrase to describe my series, yes.

Be clear on who your main characters, supporting characters and minor characters are and which of them you plan to give their own “arc” or “story thread”.

Ah, yes. That gives me an idea of what I need to do. I appreciate all the advice, it is very helpful. 🙂

@dekreel @kaya-young @theacornman @sleepwalkingmk

Wow, thanks for all the nice things you said! I’m glad that y’all enjoyed it. 🙂 🙂 When I have time I will go over all the comments, but thanks for adding them!

Yes, I am an MK (currently in Taiwan), and yes this is loosely based off a real-life experience from travelling in the USA last summer.…[Read more]

Hey guys! So I’m going to reuse an OLD thread and post my updated story snippet for you guys to critique. To make it clear, this is my Doctor Who fan novella. You don’t have to be a Whovian to read it. I’m excited about it because I recently started changing it to first person instead of third. Here is what I have so far!

@pickupyourpenandwrite  Greetings and welcome to the bestest place in cyberspace!!! 😀 😀

England!! Oooooooooh. As far as I know @theacornman is the only other English person here. Where in England are you from, if I may ask?

Your story actually sounds a lot like a children’s series I tried to write when I was thirteen, except less mystery…[Read more]

@pickupyourpenandwrite HI!

Yes, the other person we have from England is @theacornman unless I’m wrong. And I am never wrong.

Anywho, back to introduction. *shakes hand wildly* hi hi and doubly hi! Cozy crime sounds interesting–and funny. 😀 What’s your favorite music group?

Wow! Thank you, everyone, this is all extremely helpful! You’ve really shown me a huge amount of possibilities for my previously one-dimensional characters. I’m so  excited now! 😀

@theacornman No, you didn’t repeat anything. This is very helpful, thanks! 😀

@gabbyj *hands you hot chocolate* Worry not. I know my close relatives can get out of hand sometimes. 😛

@theacornman I love your signature. XD

My deepest apologies to @Stan and @Dragon-snapper. Let me clarify: the only dragons I want to kill are the evil ones. 😛

Thank you so much, everyone, this is extremely helpful!!!

@Theacornman The dragons in my story are pretty big; like, maybe roughly three times the size of a workhorse? I should probably make them smaller, though, so they can…[Read more]

@inkling-for-christ, thanks for the links, I gone to the fantasy one, but not the other one.

@princessfoo, flower names, yes. I’ll have to look into that.

@emily-d, ooh, cultures, I like that idea.

@seekjustice, I really like those.

@ingridrd, the idea of them starting with the same letter is honestly amazing because the names could have…[Read more]

@alia  They could all just start with the same letter.  Or I liked what @theacornman said about the names being colors.  Or maybe they could all be nouns like Faith, Hope, Mercy, etc….?

@theacornman Thank you so much!

Are there certain common words Americans use that English would say differently?

How much should I make my character use these? Her parents were American, but she grew up in England.

@theacornman *grins*

@theacornman I just want to say that I love your signature 😀 I find it way funnier than I should.

I go to sleep for seven hours and I come back and there’s TONS of helpful information. Thank you!!! I think I’ll be doing lots of writing today! 😊

@epicaddie2  Hey Addie!  (Me again!)  So, very, very recently, I was in the exact same place!  I decided to go read Proverbs for inspiration for a moral…It was so helpful.  Because, ( @theacornman  I love that last paragraph) I mean, God is the ultimate writer and His Holy Spirit was the one who inspired people to write the Bible: the most impor…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 I knew that, it was just that everybody else had the same tag as their username. Oops.

@theacornman Missed this question earlier! A few months ago, I would’ve said yes, the How to Train Your Dragon movies. But then… then I got into Marvel. And once again, it’s a series where they’re all just so good I can’t pick…[Read more]
