Hi. I’m not much for intros, but I’m a blue-eyed girl who’s insane about horses, passionate about writing, loves her God, plays the piano, dabbles in poetry and machine embroidery, and reaches for the sky…But hasn’t reached it yet. I’m a homeschooler with a big imagination at the age of fourteen. Good to meet you. **Hand…[Read more]

Okay, I’m using mani/mahnith. Thanks!
I know you asked me to tag you, so here’s the “thread” about my current WIP! If you read through all the comments (a daunting task, and don’t do it unless you REALLY WANT TO), you will find exerpts from my novel that I have revised and/or have replaced other chapters.
Sorry this…[Read more]

Okay!
I agree that it’s the best to have your parents’ on board about the topics you write about but I just don’t really have that. For example, my mom is very sensitive to reading about sad things, so she puts herself in the character’s place when she reads my stories, and it’s just hard for her to read. Same with…[Read more]

Advice and characters is mostly what I shall be doing. Characters profiles, art, anything. And advice would be the most random things, cuz that’s how my mind works.

Ruth replied to the topic Hi. I'm RAE in the forum Start HERE 2 years, 11 months ago
Last count of characters was 109+/- and that was Jan. 8th. Since then, I created a lot more and haven’t bothered to count them, I should though, sometime. I’ve got way too many characters.
I like to write third person, but when learning about a new character, or just in the mood, I will write little bits of scenes in first. I don’t do well…[Read more]

Ottoline
“Hold still!” Kari giggled as Ottoline dramatically dodged the wand of mascara.
“I’m sorry,” Ottoline laughed, “I’m not used to having people touch my face.” Well, that wasn’t entirely true. She had been struck multiple times, but never had her…[Read more]

Okay…
I’m lost. Do I just join some random topic or is that like bursting into a random person’s house? Should I make a new topic and go from there? I guess I’m just nervous.

Ruth replied to the topic Hi. I'm RAE in the forum Start HERE 2 years, 11 months ago
Honestly, Mom bought the Chuck Black Kingdom Series, and I never got past the third chapter of the first one. I don’t feel for the characters, so it’s boring.
OHHHH…**Lightbulb moment** Okay, yeah, I guess I’ve done that once or twice, but not often at all. Actually, I should do that more often. I’ve done it mentally with my favorite…[Read more]

I love this! Though it does get confusing, it’s the “good” kind, lol, and I would totally read the book.

@mineralizedwritings @esther-c
Yeah I did say only one character, but if you really, really want to add another one, I suppose you can, just for everyone else please only one charrie, because if everyone adds too this would be super chaotic.

Ruth replied to the topic Hi. I'm RAE in the forum Start HERE 2 years, 11 months ago
Actually, I don’t think those questions have been asked before. Congrats!
Who is your favorite character to write and why? Nahim Alfred Nayhelm, last of his family-clan. I know him as well as if he were my sibling (except whether he would like vanilla or chocolate ice cream, as far as I know, he’s never had it.)
What is your favorite…[Read more]

Okay… to answer your question, not cottagecore, nor dark academia, nor piratecore. I guess the vibe would be kind of adventure? Warrior? Ugh, this is not going well…think of star wars, but different galaxy, different characters, different plots, and one step above tech wise. Oh, and mandalorian viewpoint, but different.…[Read more]

@arcaneaxiom
Interesting. What lead to some of the names? Metamorphs your clearly deriving from metal morphs, but everyone will think of the prefix meta and not metal, suggesting that they are not related to metal, but are instead referred to as surreal, creative, or unique by nature. Half dragons are often referred to as Dracotaurs,…[Read more]

Favorite book? Lord of the Rings, most likely the Fellowship of the Ring by a millimeter, and that could change any time. Strider takes it away for me.
Do you have a WIP? If so what is it about? yes, I’m worldbuilding my fantasy and writing the revision draft of my first real book, Guardian Angels, as sci-fi following the life of a…[Read more]

So based off of the language that you were going to help me create, can you help me devise a word in Andromedan for “Mother”? That would be most appreciated, haha. I am not good at creating languages, so I’m stumped, lol.

SLAYING SARAAAA ✨✨ replied to the topic Plotting Help (Free of Charge!) in the forum Plotting 2 years, 11 months ago
I agree, reading books has helped me so much!
I’m not sure if I know a lot about plot structure. I just try not to be cliche, have good character arcs, and attempt to make an outline. Emphasis on the word attempt, lol.
I know that there’s seven main ways to plot, like “save the cat”, “the hero’s journey”, the “three act”, and…[Read more]

That’s what I don’t know. I have no idea what branch my Great Grandfather was in so researching gets harder. I could ask my Grandpa, but right now he’s on vacation, and he most likely can’t tell me.
The North…boring. An open field to me is strange and enchanting, food is a mix of whatever the person feels like. We barely…[Read more]
