whaley the great and terrible

@rae

Actually, that’s explained better than i could have XD.

Lol, maybe I should be a thought interpreter when I grow up. If that’s a thing.

I can see both sides of the issue, but I feel neutral for lack of data. If anyone be willing, I’d be glad to slip into a character cloak and debate either side.

Sure, I would love to talk about it! This top…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Ok, That’s alright. You know I’ll always give you my honest opinion and we can’t possibly agree on everything. Thanks for being kind about it.💗

Of course! By the way, I didn’t mean to sound like I disagree with anything you said. When I said you touched nerves, I meant those thoughts felt very applicable to second-hand pain…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I really enjoy it! It’s the editing that can get a little tedious. The formatting is the fun part.

Good! I thought so! I bet it takes a lot of research to learn. I wouldn’t know how big the font should be, for example.

Do you title your chapters or number them, by the way? Cuz I’m divided on the subject. I never read chapter t…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Okay, I don’t want to enter fight mode, I just like asking questions 😅 Am I false if I say something like, idk, “be careful what you wish for?” A movie like Aladdin is about how humans can go too far with their wishes. I’ve read plenty of stories like that, and I don’t think they’re wrong.

You can choose to not reply. I’m just…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Just letting you know I read your thoughts, and some of them touched nerves, so I appreciate the time you took to write them out ❤️

@ellette-giselle

My book update is that I’m now in the formatting process of my next book!!!!! I’m hoping to have the proof copy by no later then next week!!!!! I’m pretty excited! (In case…

Dude needs help lol. He’s pretty much cursed from the get go. Emmie is good though. I like the idea of a person who remains power-hungry throughout their life, but doesn’t go fully villain because of their partner. It’s like the opposite of Macbeth.

I think Rae is imagining an AU of her story where Alpha goes down the…[Read more]

@rae

RAE!!! I caaaaaaaan’t share this!! Secrets keep me going! Plus it wouldn’t read understandably without context. Nevertheless, thank you for the support LOL XDXD

I started a new short story about Tomoko Tadashi Tama (I think that’s what his full name is gonna be, still on fence) but I just discovered that the name Tomoko is supposed to be a g…

And it being an unconventional one is the best 😜

Exactly! 🤪 Thx for responding to my little ramble 😚

Honestly prob gonna take a short break from editing bc as much as I love them, I need a break from Leon and Riker XD

and idk it’s a little more difficult when editing, bc I’m reading over things I’ve already written and rewri…

@mineralizedwritings

Making something unique yet consistent is really important to me. But so hard to pull off XD

I like having two different ones to rotate between, it keeps me from getting bored lol. Thanks! I’m glad you’re interested in it. Honestly for so long ATOH was like my special project but now I’m not sure which one means more to me.

To be clear, I’m not attacking Keilah, I’m just generally defending the use of magic in these generally avoided series.

A fantasy book telling the reader not to read fantasy books would be hypocritical.

I think a lot of this can be simplified through common sense. Were these books meant to be imitated? Were they portraying real sorcery positively, or just using for an obviously fantastical story? If Alan (or even better, his parents, since he was young and easily…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yeah, thanks!! I hope it stands up to my claims when I write it! 😝

@mineralizedwritings

Really?? That’s so cool! I can’t imagine how that must feel.

It’s a weird feeling, but it’s not distracting me from the rest of the project. I know a lot of people have their ending planned out, but get over-obsessed and never plan how to get there XDXD But this ending literally depends on how the rest of the story plays o…[Read more]

@loopylin @mineralizedwritings @savannah_grace2009 @rae @freed_and_redeemed @anyone

I am so happy right now guys 👀 I found the perfect ending to my project. Like, I just can’t right now. And I won’t say what it is because the joy is in the foreshadowed surprise, but aagh – and it came from my plot board!! All I had to do was look at what was s…[Read more]

How do you guys want to start this? Maybe the new characters want to secure their own areas in the castle? I’m not sure what kind of conflicts have popped up before this. XD

You know what? Fine, here goes nothing XD I need a distraction from senioritis.

Commissioner Barnes (Only gives her first name to friends)

Age: 35

Species/ethnicity: Staunchly human; from an isolated city in an alternative sci-fi Earth. If she was from normal Earth, she would be German. (I did not pick her because of this, I promise…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

You’re good, it’s just preference 🙂

@linus-smallprint

I’m an Outliner as far as what I want the story to look like, the conflict, the rough points, etc. Some stuff comes while writing. So, a confident 7/10ths of an Outliner. XD

@ellette-giselle

I think it’s a good idea if I step away from critiquing LTBL. We probably don’t have the same preferences in writing, and I won’t be able to help you if I’m not on the same plane of thought 😅 Good luck with this draft!

Y’all, I feel mean critiquing 😅😕 I should post a short story so you two (Ellette, Sara) can rip me to shreds.

I’m completely serious. I just need to think of a good short story prompt. *Searches online*

@ellette-giselle

I will NEVER start a book without a specific goal in mind. I had the end before I had the beginning. There is a certain amount of graphing that I do before every story, and you can be sure that all things will tie into the end of this book, or the plot of the next. I most certainly did outline my book. I’m sorry if you can’t see…
