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]

Yeah, there are the nagas who have a great skill with knives and a whole bunch of other stuff, but I zoned out at that pint of his explanation. The Metamorphs (I named them) who are shape-shifting metal aliens. The Dragons (no idea if they have another name yet) like half human and half dragon. Oh and homosupero, basically the…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

That makes sense. Good advice!

@acancello

It is so perfect for him!

I also use Canva, I just add a bunch of photos to make it chaotic and only add photos, no clipart. I don’t use a background, and I just google search/canva search.

At this point, many planets of the Wond galaxy has developed space travel. My “planets of significance” would be the tri-solar system of the Realn (Alick, Lortin, Banor, Laxor, Rea, and Mithlon) and Wond.

The Wond Galaxy is my own, though some of the inhabitants and ideas are C’s. C rules the Universe with his fettoians…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yeah it is really fun to write! However, Neveah’s only one of the main characters, so she’s kind of a sub-plot.

@keilah-h

It’s about a woman named Neveah who was kidnapped, along with her baby girl, Hanna. They are separated, and Neveah is imprisoned in a work camp. When she escapes, she is determined to find her daughter, no matter the cost.

@whalekeeper

Actually, that would be great! If you want to add critiques or anything, let me know.

Over the course of last night and today, I wrote this chapter explaining how Sef ends up with Iver, etc. I’m not sure whether to add another one about that or not. Because I want to explain that Iver is abusive (the…[Read more]

@acancello

Oh okay! Cool! By the way I love the quote.

Goodbye? Oh no, please. Can’t we go back to page one and do it all over again?

That is so sweet and sad I love it! Did you make it up or did you find it somewhere?

@jonas

The Wond Galaxy is vast and I plan to explore it to as far as I may in my stories, but this short story in only on one planet. Sharp-as-a-blade contrast to my book where it feels weird when Nahim’s not going anywhere! Though, I do lean to making stories about the Realn or including the Realn more than anything else. I plan to fix that some time.

It’s not perfect, I haven’t changed it since last year, so there might be some really bad mistakes just to warn you. Also, it lacks some world building I’ve done since then, like the months are Earthling and not Realn, plus the name for God, et cetera.  Anyway, without further intro, this is my short story…

C is my big brother as I call him on the internet.

@jonas

“Glad to hear it’s appreciated. I sometimes worry that we’re overwhelming the new person lol!”

All you have to worry about with me is getting a short answer on something I know, love, and understand! I’m not easily offended unless someone steps to close to something I keep close to heart, but they rarely know if they did, and on here, I d…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I love CC. It’s a little expensive though, especially for a Challenge kid, but it’s the best homeschool co-op we’ve found around where I live. For American Documents, we don’t have chapters we read, but we read documents from American history and Annotate and summarize some of them. Readin gis fine, but Annotating and summarizing are…[Read more]

@jonas

To True.  At one point I tried to switch out terms, but readers don’t get it. They picked up a FANTASY and they don’t even see the word that makes the genre so famous.

@freedomwriter76

I’m already having an amazing time! Thanks!

yeah, he was just a German. Which leads to the fun fact that I’m over a quarter German. I used to be ashamed of my heritage until, we discovered that my Great Grandfather actually might have helped save the Jews! That’s the main reason I wanted to write a book. A Christian man in a…[Read more]

I look forward to meeting all of you more in depth, I could not believe how many of you were willing to say hi to a new kid. I am (or used to be) on the Story Embers forum, and there was only one person who answered my hello post. This is great!

@thearcaneaxiom

Both. It depends on the subject. I go hard on subjects I’ve run through my mind over and over again until I’m sure that this is the way. Soft on subjects I don’t understand or don’t want the reader to focus on because it’s not the main point.

Your next question…No idea. Just to many. But if it’s Tolkien, you can safely be that…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

What inspires my writing? many things. A Trail ride on horseback makes me think of a calming scene in fantasy with elves and such if it is a beautiful fall day like it was today, actually. For my current bok, my emotions and what my heart says. Often I pour out my heart in my writing, twisting it as the word touch the page to…[Read more]
