EmilySF replied to the topic Favorite Scenes In Our WIPs! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 6 months ago
Thank you!! ☺️ It is probably the scene I’ve written that I’m most proud of, right now, because it feels so natural when I’m reading it and it came so easily. (I had another scene, long ago, but ALAS I lost it to accursed technology (which I’m still bitter about because there was a ton more I lost with it).) It seems like near…[Read more]

I have given some thought to that idea, but as of yet, I do not know how Anti will be affected, mentally or anything. Aside from being ostracized completely from his group of gifted and all society, I am not sure how he will respond. I think he will continue to rationalize his actions, at least for a while, but when it comes time for…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 and THAT is another reason why I must have my MC die: so I can use this scene. (But I was already planning on having him die, anyway, because that was the beginning idea of this WIP: to write a story from a mentor’s pov and still have him die.) ANYWAY… Thank you!!!

(I know!) You’re welcome.
Thank you! I hope that it will still be after I butcher it in the writing process. XD But, that is what the other drafts after the first one are for. Heh.

Imma just share the only scene I’ve actually written for that WIP I’ve talked about and asked for some help with. So, here ye go, and lemme know what you think!!
The phoenix rose from ashes of his body, drawing all heat to itself, growing larger as it rose into the sky, leaving behind icy stillness.

(grrr, KP swallowed my posttttt!)
(lets see if I can get this to work.)
This’s what’s called a ‘mood board’ for the MC of my own oldest WIP.

(ah, well, I tried.) I understand that sort of pickiness. I sometimes am the same way, but in order to finish a book/series.
So, you mean different ‘levels’ of conflict, like physical conflict, mental conflict, and spiritual conflict, then, probably. My WIP does have more than just one of those (and possibly all three, depending on…[Read more]

Zoe
Corvina studied her for a few minutes.
“Fine with me,” she shrugged, but Zoe felt her eyes studying her. Picking her apart. Dissecting her, like Malcolm did every time. Perhaps even reading my thoughts. She let her eyes fall, ashamed.
“I suppose you won’t be much help if I don’t tell you what I’m doing here, hm?”

EmilySF replied to the topic I technically count as new in the forum Start HERE 2 years, 6 months ago
I have a slight feeling that quite a few people begin writing because of wanting to sort out emotions, then just keep going. But that feeling is just a theory…
It does get discouraging when my mom is in a hostile mood towards writing. Thankfully, (as I may have mentioned before) she’s never forbidden me. Heh, I suppose I am. I respect…[Read more]

Sofia
The courtyard occupants did not answer her, so she walked away from the window, wandering and wondering what to do.
The castle walls irked her, setting her on edge. She felt at home among the trees of a forest or standing on a ship at sea. But in buildings, her spirit crawled inside her, fighting to be free of the wood or stone…[Read more]

Zoe
“Guess I’ll let you tag along.”
Zoe hesitated. Should she really do this? If Corvina turned out to be against Malcolm, he might kill one of the twins. He would never kill me; he would never kill is favorite pet.
Corvina looked back at her. “You coming?”
Corvina was either working with Malcolm, or not, and Zoe hoped that…[Read more]

Thank you! I love it, and came up with it myself, but will admit it was somewhat inspired by 3CP-O’s constant negative stating of odds. XD
Of course, and fortunately that is close to the end of the book. I plan on there being close to 3 or 4 years between the beginning and the end. 🙂
I hope it will! And I will be sure to keep that in…[Read more]

Zoe
“Or…?”
Zoe didn’t continue. She didn’t have to. If the girl had ordered her, and not just asked, then she would have continued. But it wasn’t an order.
“Tell ya what,” Corvina started, “maybe you can help me. But this,” she waved her finger between Zoe and herself, “Isn’t gonna work. I’m not working with someone who w…[Read more]

Zoe
“Sorry sweetheart, dunno who this Malcom character is.” The girl looked around at the room, probably studying it; Zoe watched her, trying to understand what was happening. Why couldn’t things be easy and simple, like an order to “go here” or “do that”? Would this stranger be like Malcolm, and brutal?
“Does this, Malcolm,”…[Read more]

Zoe
“Well, this is unexpected.”
Zoe stopped, if that was a possible thing to do since she was already standing still. She stopped breathing.
The voice came from behind her, a girl’s voice. Unfamiliar. But confident. [Malcolm] must have sent her. No one walked the halls of [Malcolm]’s castle without a purpose. Zoe felt it was s…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Excellent idea! (Who is Corvina’s author, again? it’s a little difficult to keep track, heh.)

@godlyfantasy12 She is, heh.
Good for him 😂 because she’s going to be stuck there until someone comes and tells her to do something or gets her out of her head for long enough.

I am hoping that I can write this well, and will be spending much time on completing it and perfecting it in the expansive future. 🙂
Is your MC dying just because he won’t defend himself/kill someone, or because he sees that Anti isn’t ready to die/has something he needs to do. Obviously someone willing to murder isn’t ready to die, b…

Meet Zoe. She is a submissive, traumatized, extremely shy young girl with major trust issues but who latches onto strong people and was cursed to be a werewolf by a sorcerer along with two boys (I forget their names, atm) around the age of 14, and as a result has glowing purple eyes. She cannot control when she switches, and cannot resist the…[Read more]
