Glad to have given you an idea.
I wasn’t sure if my idea of people communicating with animals is lame-sounding or not. It’s based on my imaginative world when I was little changed a bit but the world, peoples, cultures, and fantasy creatures still have their roots in that. When I was young I’d spend hours upon hours going on…[Read more]

haha, I’ve got that exact thing. Zyla is crying and Kedja does scream.
The only reason that Kedja can get Zyla to leave her is that they are using Zyla to try to get Kedja to work for them by torturing Zyla (yeah manipulative evil people). Kedja can’t bear it anymore and has to get Zyla free because she can’t bear that so…[Read more]

In my WIP I have a prison escape scene. Fact is, that is in almost every book or story out there there’s an escape of some sort. How do I make one that’s not clichéd?

Shortest story to write: That’d be the first novel I completed at like 12 years old. I wrote it in a month, and I have no idea how long it was, probably less than 50K but maybe not. I wrote it by hand, and I was probably able to finish it so quickly because I had a lot of free time on my hands. I was homeschooled with few other hobbies, y’all.…[Read more]

Thanks so much for the tips everyone. They are all helpful. I just realized I forgot to mention anything about the prison or the escape. Might have been helpful…
So my two girl characters Kedja and Zyla are trying to escape a prison that they’ve been brought to to be trained to work for Okdor, my Villain. Kedja, through a very tragic back…[Read more] -

@faith-q Here’s my ideas:
Like everyone else said, there’s a difference between obeying your ruler completely and respecting them as the Bible says.
If a leader tells you to steal or murder, will you? It goes against God’s law and is therefore wrong, no matter what earthly rulers may think or say. Think of Christians under Muslim or Communist…[Read more]

Of course!!! 🙂
THEY ARE!!!!! I’ve seen one and two. Oooo that’s a hard one. I don’t know if I can pick one. I really LOVED number one because Shane Harper was in it, but then again, I just adored the plotline of number two following the teacher. I don’t think I can pick. XD I’m just gonna say both of them. Which one’s your favorite?

@elanor Great question! I wrangled with this for a long time in one of my stories. Here’s what I figured out from all that research and whatnot:
Think of the environment and how you can create environmental obstacles. In Avatar Volume 3, there are two episodes where Sokka and Zuko have to escape from a high-security Fire Nation prison surrounded…[Read more]

Okay, so I’m probably just going to repeat what everyone else has already said since I only skimmed a few of the replies. yeah, I’m lazy. 😂
But I TOTALLY get your question. This is something I’ve been wondering about a lot lately actually. And actually, in my novel, Heir to His Crown, there is a rebellion group that my main character…[Read more]

That’s a GREAT question!!! And actually, I’m in desperate need of some help in this area too with my novel. 😅 So I don’t know how much help I’ll be, but a few things I’m trying to remember with my scene (but seriously, if you guys have ANY tips, I need some too) is to (1) see what everyone else is doing and just… don’t do thatÂ

So a person escapes the bad guys. This is a characteristic of most every book I’ve read. I’m writing a prison escape in my current WIP and am wondering how to make it something that’s not just the same old thing.
Any tips and or advice would be gladly appreciated.
I’ll tag a bunch of people.

Well… I’d say everyone else here has given great answers.
I’d say the same thing. With your characters actions if he messes up be sure to portray the wrong as wrong.
Again with the government and any authority we are commanded to obey them unless it goes against the Bible. And when we can’t obey still do it respectfully. Like @elishavet…[Read more]

This was cool to read through. All of these are some great points.
Emeric and Jornan. Hhhmmmmmm. If I were writing this kind of situation, honestly I would bring in a new character to help snap Emeric out of his guilt, and remind him of the truth so that he’s able to do what’s right and apply all that was said here.
(also I love those…[Read more]

Thanks for starting this conversation! All I can say is that you guys are great and I’ve just learned so much right now reading through all your responses.
I don’t have much to add, since I think you guys have covered everything that I would have said. I think I’ll just address the topic of Jornan and Emeric and the personal issues…[Read more]
