Cassie Hartfinh

@anne_the_noob14 @steward-of-the-pen @cassie-hartfinh Great ideas! I already love Charlie the horse. Sarcastic characters are some of my favorites, both to read and write. (Also, I think it’s cool that you take horse riding lessons, Darth Pen!)

I had to look up a few old KP articles for advice about cliched endings. For instance, this one says…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Omg lol!! I love it!! XD

@cassie-hartfinh 😀

@anne_the_noob14 @j-a-penrose Yes! I am ALL for the idea of it being from the perspective of the prince’s sarcastic horse. Oooh, how about something  like this?

1. Prince and horse are best friends.
2. Prince decides to rescue princess.
3. Prince falls in love with princess and ignores horse. Horse is jealous. (And he’s also bemoaning the fact th…

I would be VERY careful with the idea of a fairytale. It really is seriously likely to fall under cliché too easily.

@cassie-hartfinh That’s awesome.

@j-a-penrose Okay! Let’s brainstorm! 😃

If it’s not bittersweet, it therefore must be conclusive. Have a solid ending, like Cinderella does or something. She gets through the hardships, gets her prince ‘and they live happily ever after’. (okay maybe not very conclusive but pffffft you get my point)

LOL!  *winks*

And this is the best topic addition ever! 😛

@cassie-hartfinh That was great! xD

Wow!! #too-relabable 😉

@cassie-hartfinh

That was HILARIOUS!! And SOOOO TRUE!!!

@cassie-hartfinh That was so awesome XD #relatable

@julia Wait… really? Wow, thanks! 🙂

@cassie-hartfinh Awww, yay! I mean… I’m sorry. xD *pats you on the head*

@julia Aw, thank you for the offer! I think that since I struggle with sticking with stories that I’m not personally connected to, it would be best for me to draw them from my own experiences. But I really appreciate your willingness to share your ideas with me, so thanks so much! <3

@ariella-newheart Haha, well, I always have had trouble with…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Firstly, I admire your courage in being able to ask for help about this! I have trouble with that because I usually tell myself I can do it all on my own and don’t need any help even though that’s really not the case.

Now, about recharging that creative power… I agree totally with @evelyn and @cassie-hartfinh. Pray, don’t…[Read more]

I think that, along with what @cassie-hartfinh and @evelyn was saying, characters can be used as mirrors: you can put yourself in another situation or see aspects of that person in yourself, and it brings questions— what would I do if I was in their shoes?

It lets you see things in yourself that are usually in your blind spots and shows you t…[Read more]
