Glad you found what you needed! I have to say I’m quite intrigued by the snatches you explained about the story and the scenarios! Your book sounds really cool 🙂
I’m afraid I am not much help with writing stuff most of the time, it’s like, amazing ideas or nothing, (to be honest usually nothing) but I like to try anyways,…[Read more]

Elfwing replied to the topic Need Some Advice With An Injury Scene! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 2 months ago
@godlyfantasy12 so am i wrong in assuming it would be similar to a hypertrophic scar? which looks raw and fresh but is actually healed, or is it a literal open wound?
if it was an open wound that might constantly be sticky and getting dirty because of whatever factors of the story, that could, cause infection which would also contribute to it not…[Read more]

Hello all, the infamous Elfwing returns after long dormancy in writer burnout to ask an important question…
I want to self-publish. this isn’t an out of the blue thing, I’ve been looking into it off and on for a year or so.
I’ve been working on my novels for over 3 years and edging closer to a satisfactory disasterpiece that people so far have…[Read more]

I’m sorry y’all. I’ll try to stay on track this time.
Mila means ‘beloved, gracious’, and in some translations ‘precious’.
Even though that isn’t her name’s proper spelling, it is fitting for her relationship with her father, as his favorite child. 🙂

@koshka that honestly reads like it could be a death scene, even tho it’s from first person pov! And it is so gripping!!

EmilySF replied to the topic MAJOR WIP SPOILER FORUM!!!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 4 months ago
There’s so much to one of my stories (HofE), especially so much I’m unsure about, that I can’t present the twists as they deserve.
The biggest twist in my FP,WS story is that the mentor dies at the end (which I hope will be surprising, but still mostly unexpected).
Other than that, I’ll have to get back to you on the HofE twists, once I’ve…[Read more]

Although she doesn’t have real DID, Shallan Davar from the Stormlight Archives has at least three personalities, and might help with the having personalities aspect of DID.
Other than that, I don’t have much advice. I’ve never been someone to relate a whole lot to DID because it’s not something I have nor do I often imagine myself as a different…[Read more]

sorry, been a busy and mostly only had time for reading, reading, and more reading.
I don’t think I have any questions, but I do maybe have some advice for your question.
Could you have Brenven be an energetic, fiery child and there’s some sort of prophecy or promise woven around him that she finds out, and due to those two…[Read more]

@kathleenraumm
I honestly could say everything and anything, but often I prefer to use different ways of looking at the world as inspiration, though that’s not always the case. Once I worldbuilded simply from the desire to have magic in the story and there are four kids with it and the king’s family, and then I dove into why only they had mag…[Read more]

EmilySF replied to the topic What do you love most about your current WIP? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 5 months ago
The worldbuilding and the characters.
I have found that one of my favorite things about writing is the worldbuilding (which explains why I enjoy writing fantasy so much). Plus, the worldbuilding of this particular project I’m especially proud of. It’s pretty simple, compared to many, but it’s still complex and developing. And I love it.
I am al…[Read more]

What sort of underwater things can you imagine? What is the government system for the fish and sharks? Do fish have to hide from their predators, like sharks, still? How do they manage that? Does that affect travel and commerce? Is there much trading between the different places and groups? Is there magic of some sort that protects…[Read more]

Well, @joy-caroline, your side character is a human too.
What is something he wants? What is his desire in life? Will he be focusing on a having it while helping out his friend, or will helping his friend be his entire focus for the duration of the story, like Sam in The Lord of the Rings? Why are the two friends? What caused them to become…[Read more]

EmilySF replied to the topic Favorite Scenes In Our WIPs! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
This one’s not a complete scene, or a proper one, because it is all dialogue, but I still like it a lot (despite the fact that it is a less than perfect rewrite of the original that I lost due to
shockingtechnology, and is but half the perfection compared to the absolutely satisfactory original).[A little context: Hager is the antagonist of the…[Read more]
