Chapter 27 out!

This chapter took an unexpected direction. I never thought I would be writing that sort of thing. *shivers* But then again, Andrew Perterson had something like it in his first Wingfeather book.

CEW == Crazy Editing Week?

I don’t have anything to edit right now, so don’t think I will join. But thank you for the invite!

@whalekeeper hmmm, you make good points.

@loopylin wow, this is gonna be hard. I might take it though.

@theducktator yeah, KOTLC….really straddles the line of “This is amazing” and “This completely stinks” when it comes to writing and plot. The worldbuilding, or at least most of it, is awesome though.

Hi y’all! So, Project Gold Heart (aka the series Zlati and Vulka are in) has been renamed and is currently being drafted (Lord willing and I don’t dump this by June)

Chapter 26 out!

I feel like the quality of these recent chapters hasn’t been as good, and I’m loosing steam. But I need to remeber that this is just the first draft. Fell free to provide… motivation to get me to keep going until then end. (Interoperate that how you will. I know,…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

You make some good points and may have saved a life. I had a character who I’d considered killing for drama, but I’m thinking I’ll keep her alive.

I would argue that sometimes shock value is a good reason to kill characters. For example, in KotLC the stakes are supposed to be so high, and the villains so evil, and yet all of the…[Read more]

Extra challenge: don’t pull the sadness from a super abusive or traumatic experience.

Eh, I’ll allow it, but I guarantee you it won’t make me feel anything.

@elishavet-pidyon

Yay! Someone willing to take the challenge! XD

I get emotional at movies and also cry myself to sleep occasionally so it shouldn’t be too hard, probably.

@whalekeeper

Would you be interested in a goal-focused chat where we practice our individual writing skills and chat about our progress

That would be awesome! I really need people to annoy me about writing and keep me on task so maybe that would help. Not sure how much time I’ll have this summer, though.

@whalekeeper

 I’m choosing to take an extra year of classes by myself, a super senior year. But it’s optional and I’m doing it to choose specific interests and decide if I want to pursue them or not.

Makes sense. My dad wants me to go to a community college for a year when I graduate for the same reason.

Ah yes, practical life skills. Must be nic…[Read more]

Chapter 25 out!

I don’t think I want this to be James. This is too similar to Eric. Both characters feel unappreciated, and grow depressed because they don’t fit in and feel. The only thing different is James has hope in The Saviour so he’s less self centered and is more outgoing.…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

That’s fantastic. *arms arsenal*

Your examples make a lot of sense. If Aragorn had died, his character arc and the whole theme of restoration would just be swamped in a big dramatic Fading.  As for Frodo, in the end of Two Towers we’re given a glimpse of what it would be like if he dies=d and Sam had to take the ring, but as the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @liberty

I hesitate because I reeeaaallllyy need to get back into writing/editing. But… that week is leading up to my brother’s graduation and I’m in the homestretch for my schoolwork and life has just been busy and I need time to just chill. Anyway… I also really really want to sign up for CEW still…. 😭 I am just being indecisiv…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Congratulations!!!!!

@koshka

*Is promptly buried and drowns in the confetti*

ugh. Now I’ll have sparkles in my coffin.

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

*Dumps confetti over both of your heads*

@whalekeeper

Congratulations! Will you go to college?

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

XD Thank you!

@liberty

*gasp* There are people out there that like Saxon?

@whalekeeper

*Dances around and cheers*

@whalekeeper

Everything. I did some collage classes and I’m not actually going to collage, so I’m graduated forever. 🤩

@whalekeeper @keilah-h @ellette-giselle

Thanks guys ☺️

@whalekeeper

I don’t really have much to edit, unfortunately. So I won’t be joining.
