What about antagonists who do the wrong thing, but for a good reason? Or who have a realistic backstory that makes you feel sorry for them, or at the least, understand why they do what they do? Do you just not like characters like that in general?

I guess I should rephrase what I meant because looking back, I actually do enjoy…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

So many. Especially from modern stuff.

1. Strong independent woman who doesn’t need help from anyone unless it’s another woman because men are lame anyway. Seriously, this one is so annoying. I can understand writing a woman who is physically capable of taking on tasks, but I hate it when said woman is basically written as a man but…[Read more]

Sorry this took so long to get to. Everything’s looking good (although Hallie is frustrating me a little bit rn). Seriously Hallie, don’t fall for the trap!!

Anyway, the part in chapter 19 when Easton is doing all that stuff over the months, it feels a bit impersonal. Maybe if you wanted to show his character more you could have a sce…[Read more]

Elina, what do you value most in a friend/friendship? What would break a friendship for you?

“Authenticity. If your not authentic, your not my friend. I had one friend I broke the relationship off with because she was only being my friend out of sympathy. I hate sympathy. It’s like knowing something, but not really understanding, you kno…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

This is cool, thanks for tagging me!

1. What is your full name?

“Elina Aurelia Miller. My family and friends… whoops, sorry, just my family, call me El.”

2. What is the most important thing the average person should know about you?

“That I don’t care what you think or what other people think. Ever.”

3. What is your body language ri…

– What did/do you enjoy about your favorite MG novels?

Characters and plot. One of my favorite MG’s is Sew Zoey and I enjoyed the characters a lot, as well as sewing being a big factor for each book. The Flashback Four and The Genius Files were also quite good with the plot, though they’re more action focused.

– What do you think the M…

@esther-c

I am so so so sorry for not getting back to you sooner!!

That’s alright!

Oooh, I really like this one! This is totally a book I would read!

Thank you, that’s very encouraging!

Then start building the plot points around that, because internal conflicts drives the story and external conflict carries it along. Think of ways that sit…

@hybridlore

Thanks! I might switch over to Reedsey though, considering Ellette’s post now.

@linus-smallprint

Oh goodness, thanks for telling me. That’s really scary, I knew Google wasn’t great but that seems much too far.

@keilah-h

(yep I’m leaning fully into it now)

Oh boy XD

What have I done lol

@keilah-h @hybridlore @ellette-giselle @the_lost-journal @liberty @whalekeeper @linus-smallprint

As of right now, I have re-done parts of The Woods of Rosen which are now integral to where the story is headed (this is because I realized they would work better for the story and characters). So, I’m thinking instead of posting the chapters of the b…[Read more]

@keilah-h

look what you’ve done you’ve encouraged my obsession lollllllll

Wait, nooo!! I take it back, is it too late?! lol

Also it’s a-okay, I think this topic is kind dead anyway XD

@keilah-h
Lol

@linus-smallprint

Hard to follow the rule of staying on the path when the path itself won’t cooperate.

Yep lol.

Nice!

You guys really like the slap part huh? XD

Looks good! Waiting for the next part.

Thanks!

@whalekeeper @theducktator

Praying for both, hope you get the job Ducktator!

@whalekeeper

Stuff mostly about the medieval ages, or about sword fighting. For instance, feudalism and the exchange between peasants and lords, or the training of knights from pages to knighthood. However, at one point I was researching Irish slang for a story idea, and discovered some interesting slang such as “not looking the full s…[Read more]

@esther-c

Poor Hallie, hopefully her siblings don’t embarrass her (right?). Nice job, the chapters are good. One thing I did notice though is that in a couple of sentences you explain why a character is doing something, like “to ___” and I think you could leave that out sometimes for the reader to figure out why they’re doing something for themselves.

@ellette-giselle

Use the dash if you want it to read as a sudden horrifying shock, use the dots if you want it to be a slow realization that settles into horror.

Ah, okay that works better. Thanks!

I have been swamped lately, but we’ll see if I can have her to you this week.

Take your time! Thanks for the comments, I’m glad the chapter gave som…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Indeed….

@hybridlore

Yay, will hopefully read it soon.

Also… don’t hurt Everett please!!
