Happy birthday @rose-colored-fancy ! *hands you a virtual slice of cake* Welcome to adulthood! Have a blessed year!!
And how’s your second day of 18, @ethan-leonard ? We still have more cake to eat XD
Honestly, his birthday party yesterday irresistibly reminded me of the upcoming fashion show in here 😂 He got a lot of clothes, and one shirt an…[Read more]

🤦♀️ I only just now saw this XD. Yes, that was me 😂 …and I do write poetry.

E. N. Leonard replied to the topic The Place of Plots in the forum Plotting 2 years ago
Here is the result of my brainstorm:
Characteristic moment, core emotional longing
Jade longing to become a ballerina and protect her family/friends. Probably only Rosemary, maybe Tray, are her worries at this point. She is thinking of this as she practices dance at home.
Inciting incident, brokenness
Haven enters EoP,…[Read more]

I recently saw something about the Save the Cat method, but I don’t know much about it. The only one I’ve heard of is the 3-act.
That’s something I ought to do as well, but I think I’ll start by learning through experiments with Jade’s story. I have read about plot, but it’s never really “clicked.” Hopefully some hands on experience wi…[Read more]

I know that poem! The new picture and quote are so perfect together.

E. N. Leonard replied to the topic The Place of Plots in the forum Plotting 2 years ago
Thank you so much! This is so helpful! Jade being inactive is part of what’s been driving me crazy with this story. And yes, Jade thought Mara was a friend, and so did everyone else. Sorry I failed to mention this.
As for who Isaias is…that’s complicated. He’s a friend of all theirs, who generally spreads insight or chaos whereve…[Read more]

That is backstory, yes. And Jade is the main (protagonist) character. Mara is the antagonist.
That sounds great! Thank you so much for your offer of help!

Aiee. The Plot. Here goes!
I am currently in the middle of changing a bunch of stuff, so this will be extra muddled 😁😬🫣
Let’s see… Jade wants to be a ballerina, and the world goes off the deep end, America gets nuked and whatnot. The Haven rises. Her dad is mad about what he sees going on. Mara’s family prefers to suck up to the big baddi…[Read more]

I took your suggestion and made a spot where we may plot and scheme of plotting. I look forward to discussing this!

Yes, it was amazing! The writing! The all of it! I’m glad I read it, and I would love to discuss it someday 🙂
@lady-grace probably should give it a few years.

Mara
”You think I could help you, my lady?” Frey looks up at me.
I raise an eyebrow. ”Two heads are better than one, so they say. And so I say, as long as the heads have brains in them. I’m assuming there’s a brain in yours.”
He seems to be ignoring this, and says, “But, if you like, we can go ask someone.”
He’s standing by the time he finishe…[Read more]

I want my WIP to be absolutely perfect, and I’m scared that if I write it, it won’t be…I know, not the brightest philosophy, but there it is. I love plotting stories! Let me know if you ever think another brain would help– though I’m sure you can figure it out yourself.
Same here… I have this lovely WIP I’m crazy excited over,…[Read more]

I’m happy to be a resource for you if you want 🙂 XD I’d love an excuse to infodump about plants! It’s also useful knowledge for writing 😁 The plants that can poison you if you smell either are Poison Hemlock and Water Hemlock. They have little toxic spores that can wreak havoc when inhaled, though they won’t necessarily always kill (b…[Read more]

Mara:
Frey smiles and says, “Of course I do, I mean everything I say. I mean, look at the situation we’re in, what’s the use of lying?”
I frown at him. He’s joking. I can hear the laughter in his voice.
“Did you notice anything odd in the way you came here?”
Arms crossed, I debate whether or not I should actually give him a piece of my mind. T…[Read more]
