I’d probably not be convinced that they were actually dying until the last minute.

@whalekeeper

Wow, that’s a hard question. Ermm…

I think I’d immediately start thinking of a way to keep them here longer. Is there a way that they don’t have to die? It might take me a little bit to come to terms with the fact that there’s not. Honestly, at that point, I think I’d start trying to spend as much time with them as I can and make as…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Sooo

I think I have an idea for Lilitu’s internal conflict!

I’ve been plotting a lot today, if you couldn’t tell 😂

Sef is self depricating, like you said. She’s more like “I’m stupid. I’m worthless. I’m not worthy of love.”

What I did is prayed before developing characters today and asked God to show me verses to base the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

No that’s not overwhelming me!!! <3

Actually that makes a lot of sense.

I have to think about that XD XD (and pray about it too!) because that would work really well!!!

Aww thanks for asking!

If you look at the Prayer Requests topic I posted about how I’m doing (sorry I’m tired and don’t feel like retyping all that lol)

But…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

My fantasy isn’t a typical fantasy.

It’s combining medieval times with our modern world. So there are cars like we have, and pistols, and other things you’ll see later.

The rules for my world are…there are no rules.

I’m not even sure if this works or not (the author I’m getting feedback from said that they can be combined…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Thank you! I really loved the feeling it gave, ya know. Like you can almost feel the gravity of the situation by looking at it.

@whalekeeper

Thank you! I’ll take you up on it!

@whalekeeper

WHALEY!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 Oh my goodness, I LOVE HIM SO MUCHHHHHHHH

TYSM for doing him!!! 💖💖

@whalekeeper He’s four and a half years younger than me, so I doubt he’ll join for a little while if he does at all.

@whalekeeper

Finally, a use for all those sticky notes I got for my birthday! I’m not entirely sure why I wanted them, other than that it’s satisfying to know I own them.😂  Now I just need to find some space on my walls for this.

@whalekeeper Thanks! The first and last are on his playlist already. I’m excited to listen to it!

@whalekeeper

Haha yes XD Thanks! I’ll definitely come back here if I think of anything specific.

@whalekeeper This is cool! I wish I had a cool name for my method – maybe I’ll come up with one

I have all these yellow legal pads (I know I’m nerdy) where I have pages and pages of random ideas, notes from literature, parallels I want to draw, specific outlines for scenes, etc. but here’s what I mainly do: I have a page for each chapter, and…[Read more]

@whalekeeper ooh interesting!

This would be useful for my brother, who’s just starting his first story! Unfortunately I haven’t gotten him on here yet.

@whalekeeper

Thanks for sharing. Your plot board looks amazing.

I would also agree that the Faytag pyramid is a good starting ground. It gets really interesting when you start thinking about the story as more of a Faytag mountain made up of multiple litter Faytag peaks.

My biggest piece of plotting advice is probably to first figure out who…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Nice! Reminds me of how we attacked problems in my Web Development & Design courses. This was more focused on design and problem-solving, but some similarities exist. Throw up all the ideas on a wall, and get them out of your head so that you can think a little more. That helps you to think a little more about the places where ideas…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

This is amazing! I’m very OCD and the organization is giving me adrenaline XD

I’m currently transitioning from pantsing to plotting as I get into series, so this is really helpful! Thank you!

@whalekeeper

Wow I don’t think anyone’s asked me that

Well, clearly I have failed here.

Please also tag me as well if you end up sharing any scenes <3

@whalekeeper I saw the original post, I just didn’t feel like responding at the moment, sorry.

Umm, if you’re asking what I would do, I’d probably be tempted to just emotionally distance myself and then regret it after they’re gone.

But, imma assume Marcel is more brave than me, so he probably wouldn’t do that. He might get more protective of…[Read more]

@rae Oh I love that song! It was on Dante’s playlist for a while. Don’t remember why I took it off so it’s going back on now XD

@whalekeeper Um, yes. Of course I want it. Show.
