@cassandraia

Thank you. 🙂

@daeus-lamb I LOVE ideas 1, 2, and 4. I’d say if it works out, y’all should go for it.

I’m with @eden-anderson and @cassandraia about number 3 though. I realize that this might make it quicker and easier for guilds to form, but when the guilds are done right they are worth the wait. Also, where would the leadership come from? I think this could…[Read more]

@cassandraia Yes, I agree.

@noahlitle

Okay, makes sense.

Well, even if there not that good, I still think it’s awesome that you write screenplays!

And I wouldn’t say Good and Evil is terrible; I’d say it just needs some help, just like most people’s first or second drafts. 😀 Seriously, some of the writing is actually really good and I’m not just saying that to be…[Read more]

@cassandraia Poor ladies. 🙁

@kate Aha! So that’s what’s been going on inside your head. Very cool.

@daeus-lamb

@cassandraia oops, you beat me to posting! I love the pearl/goddess thing. Super cool! And that is such a sad but intriguing idea with the lotus. I would totally read that. Great job. It’s making me sad and angry just thinking about it. 😛

@cassandraia

Ohhhhhh yes. I’ve had to deal with it numerous times in the past 3 years or so. Two out of the seven-ish friends I’ve tried to make/keep in touch with in that time (which I know is not a lot, but I’m terrible at initiating conversations and relationships; I’m trying to work on it) have stuck around more than a year, despite repeated…[Read more]

@cassandraia @bama-rose

This is a nested thread:

So instead of them all being straight down, they’re nested with each other, each one getting further indented. (This is the continuation of a conversation on cold weather, lol.)

@cassandraia

Yeah. Relationships are hard and no one seems to want to do the work to build them. 😛

@cassandraia

Mainly to see if it has potential; if there are any plot holes, if my characters are well formed and relatable, those kinds of things. Not so much grammar, but I certainly don’t mind. Also I’m curious to know if I’ve detailed it well enough.

So yeah, anything like that would be great!

@cassandraia

Yeah. It’s sad that broken families are becoming more and more the norm. :/

Connection is really hard to find at churches. People (and I think this is a culture-wide thing that has affected the church) aren’t very good at reaching out to the new people and helping them get connected. Obviously there should be effort on both sides,…[Read more]

I hope I did the quote thing right! Still figuring out the forum. XD Anyway, I have just set it aside for a little while. I know I’ll go back to it someday, but for now, I’m growing more as a writer and discovering how to write good plots for stories that aren’t as complicated as Exotic. 😛 It definitely has helped me to work on new stories. I w…[Read more]

@cassandraia

I can believe that you would be strongly attached to your characters after working with them for as long as eight years! But I also understand how it’s good to move on to new stuff…have you given up on Exotic or are you just putting it on hold for a little while?

@msqueen8 @corissa

Heh-heh…so out of pure curiosity I mentioned…[Read more]

@literatureforthelight, I’ll probably do something like that when I come around to finishing the second draft. Right now I don’t think it’s good enough for an alpha reader. It’s very rough! But thank you for the suggestion. 🙂

@msqueen8, Thank you! Yes, I’m very excited that I finally finished it. 😀

Yeah, my drafts occasionally blend into the n…[Read more]

@cassandraia

Thanks! And yes, I totally get the whole busy thing. Its around 15,000 words, and this is the link:

@cassandraia, That’s okay! Yeah, I think I’m going to have to rewrite the whole thing, because it’s such a rough draft. 🙂 Thank you!

@literatureforthelight, Aw, thanks!

Yeah, I’m definitely going to have to work on these things. I know setting is something I really struggle with in writing. Mostly because I tend to just skimp over it. 😛 So…[Read more]

Hey, guys! I’m here! Sorry I’m so late.

Okay, so I kind of dismissed this thread, because I’m not really a world builder (sorry, @daeus-lamb). But just today I realized how this topic applies to my own writing (and my aversion to world building).

I was watching some Like Stories Of Old videos from YouTube (check him out here, like, seriously @kat…[Read more]
