“Are you alive, Comrade?”
Shut up.
Balorico shifted beside him.
“I’ll take that as a yes.”
Kilied groaned.
I’m sick of headaches.
He peeled his eyes open and then immediately squeezed them shut.
Ow.

@everyone
MEET MY CHARACTER:
His name is Kilied (KEE-lee-ehd)

He also has severe PTSD.

I’m now questioning lol

(Is this like a line by line role play, or a scene by scene role play sort of thing?)
It’s definitely more like paragraph by paragraph. Since this is not on a crazy active forum (as in everyone spends every minute of every day writing posts) please don’t wait for someone else’s character to act. 🙂 That’s how we spend an enormous amount…[Read more]

Ok, bow with this, I (unfortunately) DEFINITELY KNOW WHERE TO START.
HOW DO I COME UP WITH NAMES FOR MY WORLD THAT AREN’T TOALLY WACKO??? (And fit the tone I want them to set…)
But literally, names for places, specifically, are my difficult point.
So! What are y’all tips and/or processes for this??

Awesome!! I’ll go over when I get to reading The Silm after the other book I’m working on. 🙂 It was AWFUL. Especially because I love reading so much, and there was so much I wanted to read, I just literally couldn’t pick up a book and read it, except when I really had to, like for school. I WILL!!!! We. Will. Rant.

The only way to leave Bust is by getting on a very specific train and riding it out.
There aren’t many laws in Bust besides the more secular ones of the Ten Commandments, but there are rules about how Bust works, which allows for fictional characters to visit it.
Anyone can get to Bust, through any means, and always on accident. Wherever the c…[Read more]

This is a fun little thing that we do on my other writing forum!
Basically, people throw their characters into a castle and then their characters interact with other peoples’ characters. Trust me when I say it helps with character development IMMENSELY.
Here are the rules so that utter chaos does not ensue. XD
1. Any character is welcome, hero…[Read more]

Heheh sci-fi in medieval fantasy is honestly better than regular ol’ medieval fantasy. It’s really quite overdone.
I AGREEEE!!!!!!!!! Medieval fantasy by itself is for geniuses *cough cough* Tolkien *hack* and I am not a genius so SCI-FI

Denali Christianson replied to the topic Thinking alone vs talking with others. Which gives you more story ideas? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 6 months ago
Oh this is such an interesting question!!!
I would say it’s about equal. I get most of my character and world-building ideas from thinking alone, when I’m out on a hike in the woods or sitting in my room listening to epic cinematic music. (I’m obsessed…)
However, I get the majority of my plot points from talking to people. I find if I don’t…[Read more]
