So here’s the first chapter of my revisions to the Andromeda book…ready for critiquing!

Chapter 1: New Beginnings

Newborn light sifted between the windows, piercing the darkness.

Through the smudged glass, Sef could see the Andromedan sunrise, she could see the indigo trees dancing as the wind pushed them…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Thanks for the name! I never can remember names.

@thearcaneaxiom

Wellll…my friend Sake from our summer church camp can do a super good Gollum voice…it’s SCARY. When we were staffing for the camp that week, he used it to scare little children during the night games in the dark XD

@thearcaneaxiom

Cool!

@thearcaneaxiom

I know someone who can do his voice to the syllable, and I know someone else who has accidentally done a Gollum sound before, but the only things I can do are cats and mourning doves!

@thearcaneaxiom

Hello! Thanks for the welcome!

Okay… I think I’m between soft and hard worldbuilding. I like there being possibilities but I would think there has to be some sort of limit.

I’m honestly having a hard time thinking of the best concept I’ve seen…. what would you say is the best?

I’m still working on the creature part (with…[Read more]

Sorry, guys, I just now saw this, KP is ridiculous with notifications lol 😂

@thearcaneaxiom

That’s a good idea!

@thearcaneaxiom

That’s funny, I never thought of that!

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, I agree. Though if you’d told me a month ago to start over, I’d be horrified, lol

@thearcaneaxiom

I don’t know if it’s been talked about, but this is my understanding of it:

The shards are not the embodiment of the idea they represent, they are a piece of Adonalsium’s personality. Thus, the ideas exist separately from the shards. Basically, being the shard Honor, makes Honor care about that concept. That’s why the Knights…[Read more]

@jonas @thearcaneaxiom @highscribeofaetherium

*sighs* Okay, I changed my mind again.

I’m not doing first person (you’re welcome, Jonas, lol).

But I am in a sense, starting over.

Before you freak out, let me explain.

I’m still keeping the original beginning (Elysium, Pythonos, A Swift Death, A Thief, Gone, Stolen, and An Orphan). So bas…[Read more]

I’d love some help if you guys have any tips or advice to contribute 👆😊

@thearcaneaxiom

I regard it as a complete concept, because it has a rounded and closed off structure, so adding anything else would be jarring, and I simply had a goal of explaining the concept well, and maintaining intrigue, so I put it up as a short story because it has a narrative structure that presents my concept, although said narrative…

@thearcaneaxiom

Nice! Would this actually count as a full short story? I couldn’t detect any full plot, but maybe it’s there. One piece of advice my writing teacher gave us for our short story assignment was ‘make sure you write a short story and not just a scene.’ Putting aside whether it counts as a short story, it’s a really good snapshot/…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

I won’t be the only one that thinks of Nale.

I’m actually not very worried about that. The idea of perverted justice, or legality above all, are actually pretty common. There’s also Javert from Les Mis.

@thearcaneaxiom

It could be cool if Liren and Adikar could meet in an RP if that would interest you. Kirrtes would probably just want to kill Adikar for the sake of killing him, or get information off him, while Adikar would try to kill Liren for injustly murdering everyone.

Yeah, although in this story at least, I don’t find Adikar particularly i…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Kirrtes is horrifying.

@thearcaneaxiom @jonas

This is indeed a big change. You may be changing a bit too much, while change is good, you can halt your progress completely by making to many revisions (*says as if I wasn’t the most guilty of this exact thing). However, first person can help more with experiential writing, which I think is more your style anyways. I t…

@thearcaneaxiom

So this is essentially a Naln and Szeth character.

(I’m assuming you meant ‘Nale’? I think you combined ‘Nale’ and Taln.) Yeah, I think it might have been largely subconscious on my part, but I definitely see the similarities. What I find intriguing about my character is the differences from Nale or Szeth. The scene is obviously…[Read more]
