Great topic!

I don’t know, I’m sure they affect my writing a lot more than I realize. The one that has the most is obviously reading but I don’t know if that counts. XD

A lot of my projects for a while had something to do with space and flying starships, because I read Skyward by Brandon Sanderson and loved it. I guess that’s an…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

okay hahahaha sounds good lol

@whalekeeper

no I haven’t!!!

@whalekeeper

Oh, good one! I recently learned a lot about how my brain works by comparing my drawings to my writing style. For instance, I like to find little details that describe a whole, whether that’s in water color or prose. Then I realized that I notice little things in my environment, to the point that I might miss something obvious…[Read more]

@whalekeeper it’s actually looking really good so far! I have Sniper’s shading done and will start work on Medic soon.

@whalekeeper

I’m not super artistic, but I do enjoy photography, which is a form of art, so sometimes I like to mess around with photo editing to create potential covers (but the editing softwares I have don’t have great font options, so I don’t usually put any writing on them).

I also like hiking/mountains, so you won’t be as likely to find my…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

well, my stories are mostly fan fiction anyway so that could be considered a part of it—like, I love (insert fandom) so much I can’t help but write stuff for it. Even in my original works, this bleeds through—Headstriker, Coal, and Chisel, some OC’s I created for a story I’m writing with a friend, were based off various combinati…[Read more]

@whalekeeper oooh I like the skylight idea! I might use that, thanks!

@raxforge (I changed a few things in the story btw) @ellette-giselle @keilah-h @whalekeeper @hybridlore @theducktator

Story 10!

Only two more stories and then The Baron Chronicles will come to a close. Thx for reading this far! 💜

 
Fire
The blaze in the fireplace crackled. Baron balanced a pencil on his hand, staring down at his rose drawing on…[Read more]

@whalekeeper Hey, I noticed a thing. Did you change Seb’s last name?

@whalekeeper Thanks <3

I like messing with the idea of a world where almost everything you interact with is alive and has its own character. It’s fun.

@ellette-giselle

@whalekeeper

Exactly XD those were both examples I was thinking of!

@whalekeeper

Oh, did you have a subplot POV on the side following the rescue?

No, two of my side characters were spies and they kept reporting the enemy and allies movements back to the MC. Plus, at one point when the MC was captured two of the officers get a message and kind of act startled. They leave the room, but the reader hardly notices…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @theducktator yesss I love KOTLC’s worldbuilding (despite a few points on which I’m like “um, no, that totally breaks immersion, sorry”) but the romance is pretty much half the plot now if not most of it.

Not that I hate that, but I don’t love it either. I want them to just beat the bad guys already.

@whalekeeper

Ugh. The series was good through book 6, but the romantic drama has kind of taken over, and I don’t think Shannon Messenger has any idea what she’s doing anymore.

@whalekeeper

haha, well, I am a lover of well done death scenes. Especially if the characters and author is a Believer, otherwise it’s a little depressing.

hmmm, well, I just can’t stand cheesy rescue/escape scenes.

uh… let’s see.
Faramir. Don’t know if you’ve read LOTR, but his rescue and recovery makes sense. Gandalf saved him, and Pippin…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

If I remember right, he has long experience breaking out of jail, and so somehow lifts the bolt with a length of cord. Or something. I think your theory is entirely possible. It is the Mousethief, after all. XD

It’s been a while since I read it too.

@whalekeeper

Agreed. I do think she and Keefe are cute together though. I just wish it would stay a side plot.

@whalekeeper

Yeah. *sigh* I think Fitz ought to die. He only seems to exist for romantic drama at this point.

@whalekeeper

Mine’s pretty goofy too. I don’t regret it, but I’m a little concerned since I’m going to apply for a job soon. XD
