Welcome! I am Wingiby Iggiby, who can sometimes be very smart, but is mostly just nutty 😛

I LOVE how your story is set in medieval North-Africa/Middle-east; that is so creative! and your story sounds so cool! I love to draw as well; mostly in pencil. I just can’t get color to work for me, but I’d really like to try digital…[Read more]

@arindown

WOOOWW! That charcoal drawing is incredible! I love how you kept your lines fairly rough, yet it gives the impression of a ton of detail, especially in his face!

I haven’t tried any other genres yet. I love reading fantasy, and that’s probably why I enjoy writing it so much. I think historical fiction might be really fun to try at some…[Read more]

@arindown

Hi Arindown! I’m pleased to meet you.

I love your idea! There’s a lot of potential for conflict, especially since the antagonist and protagonist are family. That always makes for a lot of tension, since it’s very personal for the protagonist. Awesome!

Did you write it for NaNoWriMo? That’s really impressive! I haven’t tried it, since…[Read more]

@arindown, sometimes that’s the only way to go, outline or no outline–trust your storyteller’s instinct.

Great questions, @arindown! You could almost build a reverse pyramid with one or two of your biggest thematic questions at the top (or bottom) widening out into more specific questions like, How is so-and-so going to deal with his grandfather’s death? Does he feel he’ll ever be able to “fit” the armor the old man left hanging on the wall? Does he…[Read more]

I would definitely agree with the others about listening to music – I think it can help if you listen to something that is similar to what you’re trying to write (like emotional music that makes you feel emotional if you’re trying to write a sad scene or intense music for that scene that’s just filled with thrilling action) For…[Read more]

Yayy! So glad you like it. 🙂 I love designing book covers. 😛 Here’s a version with “Arindown” a little smaller: Is that good?

btw, your new profile pictures is really cute

Thanks! I just got my senior pictures done… I love how they turned out! 🙂

@arindown, I wholeheartedly agree!

1. Favorite scene: Oooh, this is hard! In the movie, I love the interaction between Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli as they search for Pippin and Merry. But Helm’s Deep is great, too. It’s all good, really.

[Slightly unrelated, but I was disappointed that they didn’t include the scene in the Hobbit where Gandalf…[Read more]

@arindown

Ok, here’s a draft of your cover. What do you think?

@arindown

Hello. Please forgive me for taking so long to get back to you! I really appreciate your willingness to be writing partners with me. Part of the reason it has taken me so long to get back to you is because I had also posted on another writers’ group and received lots of replies.
I asked for a writing partner because after spending a…[Read more]

@beth20 @arindown

Hey guys!! Sorry I disappeared for so long XD. I’ve just been so busy! Beth and Arindown, are you guys still wanting me to make book covers? 🙂

@anne_the_noob14 Livi, just wanted to make sure that you saw the cover I made for you! Please let me know what you think.

@arindown Haha I’m a long way from that point… but when the time comes sure! xD

I think I came up with the concept of my Beast and was kind of fascinated by it… and then I realized that it was basically the story of Beauty and the Beast, which I also really like, and so I began to base my plot on it.

I think that’s a super cool explanation…[Read more]

@arindown

Amen! Every time someone asks me to explain my story or asks about my characters, I find it so hard to describe! Though I’m using the Character Questionnaire for the first time that SE has, and it’s really making it easier to tell others about my characters… because I know more about them myself. 😉 😀

It’s funny though. I sort of…[Read more]
