TheShadow

Shadow, your journal idea sounds interesting. That would be a good way to get into the mindset of the character, especially for those writing the actual story in the third person. Could you explain some more, please? Do you write down the events from the story in these journals, or do they also feature days that the story does not cover? How many…

I agree, Christmas is the best holiday. My family has quite a few traditions. We open gifts on Christmas Eve as a family, then get up early the next day, open stockings, and head out to my grandparent’s church for a Christmas morning service.

That sounds like fun!

Also, we listen to Christmas songs all December long. My dad has an iPod with a t…

Lol, I do the exact same thing. And one time my brother did read something, but thankfully he didn’t understand it.

@linus-smallprint

As mentioned before, I keep notebooks to record any ideas for writing later, but I also have a fellow writer friend and we both help each other to remember what’s going on and organizing plots and…[Read more]

Hello!!

Ok, I’m not the best at romance, but here’s a few tips I can think of right now:

1.  Establish why the two dislike or hate each other so much. This will add more tension for when the two are forced to work together.
2. Build up to the friendship first, because that might take at least few chapters depending on how much they…

I really like what Ducky said (can I use that nickname @ducktator ? XD) about having a cultist influence the king within his closer circles. Another idea – since you want to preserve the concept of the land being rich and probably settled and populated – is to create a special communications system, then cut it off somehow before the…

@theducktator

Those are all really good ideas, I do have a character mention the rumor about a cult, so maybe I’ll go with that idea. Thank you so much!

@trailblazer

Alright, thanks!

@anyone really

Ok, my WIP’s main villain is the leader of a cult, but I don’t think his plan really makes any sense.

The main villain, Lord Damian, is the leader of the Cult of Typhon, which is a cult his father created and he’s carrying on that legacy. And his plan is to use this cult as a means of power and to take over Terre, the count…[Read more]

I like Fall best. The temperatures are just right. Not too hot and not too cold. It is not messy like spring. The bugs are gone. I like the colours of the leaves. The only downside for us Canadians is it only lasts a couple of weeks before all the leaves are off the trees and snow is coming. But it is great while it lasts!

Aw, well at least you…[Read more]

I don’t know but I like most action movies

Cool!

I don’t know but I enjoy fantasy books.

Ah, very nice 🙂

Probably realistic art.

Ooh, that’s a really creative and neat answer!

Sorry it took me so long to reply, school has been insane this week. And then Wyoh ate my first reply. She’s the technical ghost. (Wyoh, may you always forget toothpaste when you go on vacation.)

That’s okay, and Wyoh should really stop messing around with you.

I love Percy Jackson! It does go downhill after the first series though. It’s been a w…

Hello, and salutations! My name is TheShadow (or Shadow for short).  I play a bit of piano, draw, read, bake on the weekends, and write in my spare time. My favorite book genres are action/adventure, fantasy, and mysteries (as long as they are well written). I also have a little obsession with cats and knights lol.

Here are a few…[Read more]

Hi Esther! That’s great that you play violin! How long have you been playing for? And do you have a favorite classical composer?

Ah, dystopian writing is interesting. Is that your favorite genre to read, and if so which dystopian books are your favorite?

Ok, so my favorite character I have created is probably Eldred, a Knight who h…[Read more]

We’ve all been there, lol, just tag us by typing the name with the @ symbol, then quoting is just the quotation marks at the top, and it should show an indented box for the quote.

Thank you so much for the help!!

Same, hard all the way! I appreciate soft worldbuilding when done right, but I’m much more of a hard worldbuilder. Lot…

Yeah it sort of runs in the family, lol. My dad and my grandpa are both into photography, too, and my one cousin has done some professional photography.

Ohh nice! That’s really cool!!

Cookies and cream is a good flavor! I’m not huge on the chocolate-based ice cream, so my favorite would probably be black raspberry.

I have yet to try t…[Read more]

Hi Trailblazer!

Ooh, you like photography? That’s awesome! Also, I love how you tied two things that you do into a username 🙂

There’s so many ice cream flavors to choose from, but I guess I would have to say chocolate fudge or cookies and cream are two contenders for first place for me.

I don’t have a specific childhood memory that is my…[Read more]
