It’s cool how much culture you created for them as well as a language! The “ice juice” thing is really funny.

Hey y’all! This is a painting I did of N’nesha @thearcaneaxiom‘s charrie!

Okay! Here we go

ZYRIN

He had absolutely no idea what was happening. One moment, he and Dylan had been walking through the halls, then the next, the voices had revealed a group of insane people with weapons! Of the three of the newcomers, the woman seemed the most hostile, currently binding Dylan with a…[Read more]

There was a mechanic in Resonancy that I had in it originally but kind of faded put without me realizing it.

It would make things more interesting, but I don’t think it will really fix my problems, because it probably wouldn’t really come into play in the first boo…[Read more]

@Princesachronicle22 @Thearcaneaxiom So sorry this took so long!! 

Dylan

Zyrin bumped into me as I stopped short. “Did you hear that?” I whispered.

His eyes widened and he nodded.

The two of us crept forward through the dimly lit hall, the voices growing louder as we approached. I quickly peeked around the corner and sized up our possible o…[Read more]

I’m just thinking if there may be some way to think about these shell structures that consecutively eliminates some alternating set. I’m sure if you take some time with it, your gonna find a rationalization, but then again, it would likely eliminate elements you want to keep.

Yeah, I could just come up with something completely arb…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

The issue I would say about using all 29 would be the same debate of how many digits there are in a number system. More digits means more compact information, but it also means more informational storage is needed (you need to remember it all).

29 different metals all with completely unique sets of powers, even if they are…

@thearcaneaxiom @highscribeofaetherium

So, there’s a magic system I’ve been struggling with for a while, and I think I’ve finally got the basic organization of it down, although there’s a lot left to fill in.

It utilizes the first 29 transition metals on the periodic table (the last row are all synthetic. Besides, they have terrible names.)…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, the more I have the harder it is to think of more ideas, which is quite annoying.

Regardless, I’d say you can perhaps think about how the setting you’ve developed might produce a unique conflict that you can then tie into what a good conflict for one of the characters might be, then move on from there. Although, it may be…

@highscribeofaetherium @thearcaneaxiom @savannah_grace2009 @rae @grcr

Okay, I’ve run into an issue that I should have realized was an issue earlier.

So, when I decided to work on this instead of the Adonial Saga, I thought, ‘I’ve got a fully developed magic system, an interesting and fairly complete setting, I’ve got some charact…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Thank you so much for all this advice!! I’ll definitely be applying it.

Which story is this by the way? Is this a new one?

Not a new one. It’s actually my dystopian trilogy that I’ve been working on for over a year now. It keeps changing as I mature as a writer and lately I’ve been really focusing on revamping the first book be…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Maybe @thearcaneaxiom could help? (Sorry if she already tagged you.)

No problem, thanks for the tag!

@thearcaneaxiom

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…[Read more]

@esther-c

Only advice I have is just brainstorming. If you want it to be really unique, think of a different concept or idea that could maybe be tied into the story, but I don’t think it has to. If the plot and characters are good readers won’t care if the setting isn’t super distinct. Maybe @thearcaneaxiom could help? (Sorry if she already tagged you.)

@esther-c Hey, there! I feel you with that myriad of ideas lol

My dream vacation would probably be to visit Africa, it’s just so beautiful! 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…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

This is cool! I like the alphabet. So what makes Yojieo unique? How does it tie to its native speakers and their culture?

Hmm… oof, I haven’t yet thought about that. I’ll have to think for a little, and maybe I’ll have an answer later. 😅

I’mma just put my question here cuz I don’t want to make a whole new topic for it….

Hey guys!!

So I’ve been struggling lately with incorporating my setting into the story. I’ve noticed that my story could probably take place somewhere else and not a lot would change. Obviously some things would, but the story isn’t really connected enough to t…[Read more]
