Hi Rose,

I have been wanted to respond all day, but it has been so busy at work.

I agree with Joelle. You have to reverse-plot a mystery.  Determine what will happen and be revealed at the end and then work backwards.

You need to determine the main motivation for your villain.  What would drive them to commit a homicide.

There are the usual r…[Read more]

(What amused you? Lol)

Kallun examined them, Pia rested her chin on his shoulder and watched from behind him.
He was originally careful not to accidentally change the objects shape, but then realized something. “Huh.” He murmured thoughtfully.

He placed them in his hands.

(I laughed at this)

Sure thing, Rose!! (Hehe, ’tis pretty accurate. :P)

Kallun rolled his eyes. “Fine. Let me see them.” He held out his hands.

“Well it doesn’t matter. The point is I’ve found these and I don’t know what to do with them”

@joelle-stone

Thanks Joelle! I’ll absolutely go check it out! I have a lot of research to do XD

Also, I love your quote XD

Mm, good question, Rose! The only advice I can offer is to check out Abbie Emmons and Kingdom Pen and Story Embers and all their advice on mysteries. If you’re trying to plot, try reverse plotting (yes yes, I know you’ve heard me rant about it before XD) or going for a three-act story structure – or check out the SE resource library!!

Perhaps if she’s a sailor, she wound up in this world during a storm?

Portals to other worlds are likely to appear in such chaos, and look like swirling vortexes of natural materials nearby, with light and music also coming from them.

So in a wild storm at sea, one forms in front of Samantha, made of lightning, wind, and water. A song comes from…[Read more]

She can just find herself in the city, I think.

Yeah, it mostly did but lemme go drink coffee and get some caffeine lol

Do you want her to be an otherworldly traveler accidentally stranded in the city, or someone already living in the world?

The world, which I’m currently calling Terra, is mostly under the impression that fantastical beings and other worlds don’t exist, and is similar to ours in that and in technology.

Sea Side Point is a bit strange as a result,…[Read more]

@ajstoryteller that’s fine with me. I’ll used my sailor, Samantha, I think.

@ajstoryteller Cool beans! Can’t wait!

@emma-walker

Understandable.

I’ll get a new post up today then, thank you!

@ajstoryteller you must ask @erynne. My thought is that we are already moving so slow in this one it may be difficult to add some more characters.
However if you wanted to, and I’d be glad to rp with you, ( @erynne too if she like) you could start a new post and we can start a fresh story there?
