It might be a bit longer before I post the next story. I have one story, possibly two that are already partly written before I post the next story. Sorry for the wait.

I wouldn’t call myself a source as far as plots and scenes but do have one thing to say

Additionally, I feel like I’m forcing my characters to do something without actually letting them decide

This sounds like you don’t know your characters well enough. Maybe work a little more on character development and getting comfy in your character cloak. W…[Read more]

So… the first draft of Guardian Angels I literally started writing while waiting for a piano lesson, and I had no idea what I was doing. I still have no idea honestly. Apparently, my idea of ‘first draft’ is wing it.

And I currently only get motivation from my characters and someone very special so I have a lot of unfinished…[Read more]

@grcr

Woah!!

Watching your style change over the years is such a fun thing as an artist!! It really shows how you improve!

I love your style, btw. Your characters are always so interesting!

@theshadow

Hmm, It’s hard to know when I don’t know the story, but I would say that right now all you need to focus on is getting draft 1 fully on paper. From there you can go back and make changes/rewrites/connect things/etc.

That’s my tip. Having the whole story there helps you see the big picture, and it’s much easier to work off of the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

my poor traumatized boy.

@raxforge

Haha! Sounds good.

@hybridlore

I will! So far there’s not much… but we just started the story. Don’t worry, I’ll let you know. Right now I’m just chaffing because it’s not Tuesday.

@koshka

I’m good with morning. You’ll have to wake Rory up because he’s dead out.

@whalekeeper   @loopylin

I also debated the ‘could actually kill you’ because could he actually? My sister said Rory would pop emotionally before killing anybody. (Not meaning he is weak, Ellette, just that he wouldn’t do it.)

He’s killed several times.

We don’t talk about that.

@whalekeeper

Here I come to the rescue!!!

lolololol.

Okay, so I have a process. (I was actually just explaining this to someone)

So, before I ever begin to write I pray. I write down the idea in my prayer journal and say, “Lord, here’s my idea. If you want me to write this book, give me the rest of the story” and He does.

After that,…[Read more]

I have never even been close to finishing a rough draft before, and I probably won’t ever at this point, but I’m interested to see what other people have to say.

It’s fine I’ll figure it out. If we don’t move onto the next day, this week will last another year lol

Dante is still in the middle of a fight (or breaking it up?) and the twins are still in the kitchen…

@koshka Hold on, I think everyone (at least the active people) needs to agree to move to the next day first. There are people role playing inside where there’s light, but no not during day yet.

@whalekeeper @elishavet-pidyon @savannah_grace2009 @esther-c

Is it alright with everyone if we move on to the next day?

I think we could fudge the…[Read more]

@rae

Oh my goodness! I love that!!

I must have it! lol.

@raxforge

Oh dear. That’s hilarious!

@loopylin

Want a picture of him? (It’s when he’s older in the actual novel that he’s in.)

@koshka  @whalekeeper

Rory

Rory curled up, letting his face disappear under the comforter. It was warm and soft. Unlike the military blankets he was used to. He wondered if this was what clouds felt like. Then he shuddered. He knew what clouds felt…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @koshka That whole “where does Dante go?” discussion was very amusing to read.

He doesn’t actually want to kill anyone, but he’s a walking disaster so the middle works, lol

@ellette-giselle

Rory totally looks like a cinnamon roll. I mean, I haven’t seen a picture of him, but he totally gives off cinnamon roll vibes

@linus-smallprint

I do like your art style. Is this a character from one of your WIPs?

Thanks!

Not yet, but I would love to turn it into a story. Maybe some sort of dark fairytale/ redwall kind of thing. I’ve been thinking about it a lot. No solid ideas, though.

@grcr I love the improvement! Those look so good! I love how you see all three distinct personalities in their faces even though they’re all smiling
