That’s awesome! Good for you!

@noah-cochran

That’s encouraging to hear, but I’m quite certain mine needs a good deal of work. It’ll get better the longer I write (hopefully).

It totally will! I recently had my (line-edited) first draft and rewritten second draft next to each other and let me tell you, it was barely recognizable, even…[Read more]

Hi Claire! I believe we’ve met on the NaNo thread!

This looks awesome, I’ll totally give you a follow!

Thank you! Outlining is important too, I’m glad it went well!

@emily-waldorf

*High fives you* GO you!!! Great job!! Breaking through writers block is the best!

Hard day today, but I managed 2082 words in 1 hour 20 mins, so that’s better than I thought 🙂

Hi Claire! Delighted to have you! 🙂 That’s such a cool premise! Putting a futuristic plot in a lesser known part of the world? Awesome!

and yea. Stuffs.

nerdiness to the maxxxxx lol

I’m not a Star Wars fan, but I love those!🤩

Chapter one

I don’t know how I got here, I just woke up one day. My name is Mercedes Louis Benz. Ya, my parents, wherever they are, named me after a car. That was back on earth where they did have cars. Here travel is unicorns and pegasus’, ya they’re real, and if you’re lucky you could persuade a fairy-y…[Read more]

Esthelle grabbed a basket and a small pouch of coins intending to go to the market.

She pinned back some of her long dark red hair, and placed her shawl loosely over it, wrapping…[Read more]

Soon after she finds this out, the jewels get stolen and her friends must go…[Read more]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I do read a lot of books written in the 1800s and early 1900s, and that’s kind of become my style. 🙂 I don’t know if it’s annoying to most modern day readers, but I was hoping since the book was set in that historical era, that people’d be okay with it.

I think one of my problems was that the Frys where so entertaining that I didn’t want to make light of the guy being shot and missing, and I overcompensated on the melodrama, whoops. I toned them both down a little now. I do want the story to be somewhat realistic, although I do have a fairly…[Read more]

Thank you, one and all!

Since the new one personally geeks my little heart the most and since the consensus is slightly more behind that one, I chose that as my base but I tried to integrate more substantial descriptions of the internal conflicts and…[Read more]

You’re welcome! I guess I just kind of assumed she was living with him from what you said up above? But this was also my first time reading about your story, so I’m sure I have some things wrong . . .  I’m glad my ideas were somewhat helpful though! XD

No problem!  I’m glad I could hep.  I wish you the best in your writing 🙂

@claire-h Wow, this is really intriguing. I’m just going to throw out a few ideas that might help.

1. What if Dr. Arrowood is trying to protect someone? That could be motivation. What if, lets say, his son did something bad, for one of his father’s “projects” and now he’s going crazy because of the memory. So…[Read more]

@claire-h

Your story sounds really interesting! And I really like your villain. I’ve noticed a serious lack of good villains in fiction! 😉

For the first question, I think giving him a bad memory he wants to get rid of is a good motivation. Maybe he…[Read more]

Hi Ella!  Thanks for tagging me!  I liked your suggestions, especially the one where Dr. Arrowood has some sort of attachment to Rubi (hello complications!)  How have you been?

@claire-h

Hi Claire!  I’m Lily.  You have a really interesting plot situation; is your story MG or YA?  (Sometimes, when I’m working on a proje…[Read more]

I totally get that.

Hmmm…  I’ll have to think about that…  Maybe he lost a limb that can’t grow back…?  Never mind, I don’t think I’m helping anymore… 😜😂

Of course!  I’ll tag some more people to give more thoughts (hopefully–come on guys, don’t let me down &#x…[Read more]

What’s up!  I feel you–I do this ALL the time…  (btw, if none of these suggestions are helpful, just ignore what I said and listen to what the next person says 😉)

Hmmm…  what if he had some sort of physical scar (+ emotional trauma) that he just can’t get rid of?  If he managed to get his trauma under control, he’d still hav…[Read more]

Those are both amazing!!!!  (I do read epic fantasy, as well as write it 😉)  I agree with @arindown and @claire-h that the second one is slightly vague.  If you somehow combined them to introduce Exton and his friends/fellow travelers, it would probably be more clear for the reader.

I personally liked the first half the be…[Read more]

I love that idea!  I’d always read books about wiped memories/amnesia, lol!!  😆  It’s a cool setting, too.

Thanks for the feedback! And you were at the webinar? Cool. 🙂

Ooh, I have never ever heard anything like that before, which of course makes it unique. I think it’s a very very good idea that will turn out well if you get your facts right. Putting Peru into the future will make things a lot easier. 🙂 As long as you make sure you know…[Read more]

Hi there! That’s neat you’re learning Koine too. And, I’m happy someone else recognizes the signature. I thought about doing a serious one but then I just went with this to see if anyone would get it.

Also, your WIP sounds very cool and unique.

@kimlikesart

Fine then, keep your secrets 😉

I draw people, mainly from my own…[Read more]

It’s fun that you write more lighthearted short stories, Claire–my short fiction usually ends up oddly serious for my personality. 🙂 If you ever post one for feedback on here, feel free to tag me!

Nice to meet you, @claire-h. I love the idea of a futuristic /dystopia story set in the jungles of Peru. That sounds so cool! You’ll have to post updates as you progress. My dad teaches church history.…[Read more]

I’ve written some pieces, but when I mentioned writing music I meant like songs with words. I’m hoping to record them soon and make an album, which’ll be super cool to have!

No, I don’t really have a favourite song. I like most of the ones I learn. Oh, there is a duet my friend and I are learning for our piano recital at the end of the…[Read more]

Sorry…I’ve been on vacation.

The cover is wonderful.😍 I love the word font, and the dragon silhouette. My only suggestion would be to make the name Arindown a little smaller, but you don’t need to change it.

Thanks so much.

btw, your new profile picture is really cute.

We had to move because we sold our house, but haven’t found another house to buy yet. So we’re just staying at a friend’s house who’s gone. It’s a bit of a pain, but keeps me on my toes. Lol

I don’t know any language good enough to read in it, but that sounds interesting. But I can imagine how annoying that can be to not have time for…[Read more]

Thanks! I really like it! Sorry, I didn’t see your comment earlier, but is it possible to change my name to Beth Darlene? Oh and if it’s not too big of a deal, could you capitalize the n in Ninjanaria? Thanks!

How are ya doing?

@purpleturtle

@claire-h

I’m sorry I disappeared!! Been really busy.

I love it!! 😀 Thank you so much!

The only thing I think I might change is the direction the man is facing. Can you mirror it so he’s in the left, looking to the right? (While keeping the background the same.)

But now that I look at it again… Idk.

Well, if you wouldn’t mind, I think I at…[Read more]
