@keilah-h

will you post the doc on here when you’re finished, or no?

Oh whoops I didn’t plan that far ahead. Probably?

@whalekeeper What do you think? Pretty sure your email is visible on there as well as mine.

Well, I made the forum, the forum stopped working for me, and I also disappeared off the face of the earth for over two weeks😂💀 well I’ll try to answer questions/responses now😅

@rae

Hmm. I’ve written some fight scenes, but am not overly satisfied with them. I just make the characters bang their blades around for a bit until I feel it is time to make someone win. I did a little bit of research on sword fighting to improve it a bit.

I like @whalekeeper‘s advice though, about using surroundings to both hinder and help…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @theducktator @ellette-giselle

Okay, I’m starting to make some refinements to my ideas, starting with some guiding principles. That involves pinpointing a one-sentence premise and pinpointing the theme of the story, as well as thinking about the arc I want Alan to go through. This is supposed to be a document that I can reference to…[Read more]

*Gasp of joy*

He’s perfectly amazing. I love the goggles. They may now end up in his character design. And the tools. Yes. XD

Kinda want to change my profile pic now…

*Suddenly realizes I’ve never done an aesthetic for Leo. Or his book*

@whalekeeper

I seriously can’t draw poses

Just look at my drawings, only like one has a pose.

@whalekeeper

that drawing is awesome!

I really wish i could draw like that.

@whalekeeper

I’ll be praying

I think he’s more concerned that he can’t flex his abs. *Rolls eyes*

lol, he sounds awesome

@keilah-h

Praying!

@rae

Thanks for the article! Unfortunately I’m not very good at fight scenes either, so I won’t be much help. 🙁

@whalekeeper

Praying for both of your family members.

@anyone

Speaking of family, could you guys please pray for my two older brothers? One has stopped speaking to us and is no longer Christian and the other, while he’s open to the faugh, has also left it. Thanks.

Announcing the winners!!!!

First, like the previous judges, I will go over each story.

Shadow:

What a short, sweet story! You are sucked right into a conflict,…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

That’s a lot of note cards. That does look convenient though, having those dividers and everything stored vertically.

@whalekeeper @theducktator @ellette-giselle

My progress today. I wrote down on sticky notes everything I knew so far about the plot.

Pink notes are what I already had planned from Alan’s perspective when I started this. Green is Martha’s Perspective. The blue and yellow at the top are some alternative ideas I had for the beginning. All the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

Yes, I have seen Frozen, and I think I know what you are getting at. Elsa, like Alan, worries about her powers and hurting others with them but needs to learn not to push others away. If you go back to when you were asking us which characters are like our own, Whaley, you will notice Elsa was one of the characters…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I had a feeling I needed to hear this. Thank you for the advice, I really do need to listen to it. I’m a bit of a perfectionist so it’s going to be hard to post stuff as it is, but thank you again.

@ellette-giselle

Linus is 💯 correct. Plus, the more you pause the more you lose your flow. For me, I turn off autocorrect and gra…

@whalekeeper

oh goodness.
there is so much wrong with that song.
😂

@whalekeeper

(I just realized I try to match the other person’s tone, that person being you)

so, like, really chill about most stuff and puts an “lol” at virtually everything?

I’m a very “tell it like it is” kind of person, and I also don’t like getting into confrontations online or even something that resembles a confrontation, so I try to be l…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

What are your thoughts on catholic reconciliation? (For those who don’t know, reconciliation is where catholics go (supposed to be at least every month) to confess their sins. And then they are forgiven for them.) And what questions do you have. (That definition is the most simple version, there is more to it.)

I can copy and p…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

IS THAT ALAN ABD MARTHA!!?!? *excited dance* 

Maybe…

I was hoping to have that finished by Valentine’s day, but have fallen behind a bit. Hopefully, by next week it will be done.

@whalekeeper

Love how you always have illustrations on hand, by the way. XD

Thank you! I like illustrations. This story started out as illustrations…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I doubt I’m any help right now.

No worries. I usually write without outlining as well. I’m just trying to speed up my writing and thought I would give outlining a try to see if it would help me out.

@theducktator

My “outlining” consists of writing random notes all over the margins of my paper as I write and forgetting about them.…
