Your advice is so so helpful!!

And it drew attention to a weaker part of my book—my FMC identifying the lie she’s been believing and accepting the truth. That turn-around moment is a part I’m still working on, so you pointing that out is awesome. I think right now she’s just been living this lie without experiencing any consequ…[Read more]

And I would like to throw in something that might be totally unrelated to what you’re dealing with, but it was a bit of a shock to me and had me seriously rethinking how I address certain topics in my books.

(Warning. Mentions of suicide.)

In my recent Psychology class we discussed aproaches to suicide awareness, and the results were mildly…[Read more]

@esther-c

This is a very good question.

But I suppose it comes down to what the reader sees is going on and what the character sees–and those don’t have to be the same. In this case, shouldn’t be.

I’m in the middle of rereading Screwtape Letters. One of the letters tells about how that sin has pleasure attached, and how that pleasure actually…[Read more]

@esther-c

Hi Esther. I actually had something similar to deal with in one of my books as well. Here are the two things I would say to keep in mind that will most likely make the difference.

1. There can be a time where the MC believes a lie as long as it is shown to be a lie by the end of the book. (i.e. There are some rough consequences…[Read more]

@everyone

Saw this a few days ago… Looks like some moderator profiles were active. The KP profile has posts from ten years ago 💀,  it the captain one has no posts at all.

Yay! okay, y’all. Expect to see another instalment by the end of the week.

welp, let’s see it this one goes through…

@grcr

I’ll just casually pretend that I didn’t read that. 

Pure genius! 😉

I probably should go through and add things to differentiate/clarify. I most likely will, idk.

The first two chapters of this book are really difficult, but I promise things become a bit easier later.

Got it! And I get the struggle. You don’t want to info dump or…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @loopylin @ducktator
Oof… Celerant just put Viktor in an awkward place. His deep sense of justice won’t like that. XD

Viktor

He was going to have a headache. Not from a strike or anything, but from this whole unruly ordeal.

“Great job!” He passed a ball to a lanky kid with the aim of a sniper. The kid nodded and pegged another…[Read more]

@keilah-h

lololol. I get that. The Tangled one was me with the Zero Hour: Freedom set.

Emrys set Blaine down and tilted Bennett’s face upward, “Of course I’m coming home today! I have a couple days off and ten little beans waiting to party with me.”

Bennett’s face lit up, “Are we gonna watch a movie?”

Awwwww

Mam…” Blaine stared adoringly. Without hesitation, he knew what he must draw. First a circle, because all good things start…

@ellette-giselle

Lol. The evil authoress. They definitely do.

I mean, they’ve got a reason…

@elishavet-pidyon

lol, well thanks. I get told I’m crazy or weird all the time. XD

haha. It’s not me always either. But I feel like readers view us as always thinking that. XD

@ellette-giselle

Those are great. I think there’s a little bit of crazy in all of us. XD

Also, the last one is fabulous. I don’t think I’ve done that as an author, though. I’m usually the reader watching on in horror, lol!

Ivyyyyy Greeeeeeennn. Nooooooo!

By “kid” he’s obviously more of a teen, lol.

I actually have a similar drawing I could use some critique on. It’s of Elrond as a kid. I intend to add Elros too. (I’m only a little bit of a LotR/Silmaril nerd, unless it concerns these two. I realized how many amazing twin brothers are in this family, and now I want to know their story, lol. And write a fanfic. Save their uncles… 🥹 The…[Read more]

@rae I like both pictures! The second one looks like he’s moving, which I think is neat. The only thing I’d like better about the other is that I do like the wind coming from behind him/how it pushes his hair forward and frames his face. I’m enjoying imagining them happening right after each other in a scene, like he turned around. 😀
