@emily-waldorf Lets see…

@mamauthoress has Eve and Calix – siblings who wield immensely powerful magic in their world

@e-n-leonard‘s siblings @lady-grace and @ethan-leonard joined SE!

@e-n-leonard has Mara, who’s actually an antagonist in her story (but I love her so much :’)

@lady-grace has Yarrow, a teen boy in a fantasy…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf Welcome back!  We’ve got plenty of room if you want to add someone!

So, the characters have just completed a challenge where they meet their future self…which was…interesting.  I think this challenge definitely pushed Kit and Val closer to a formal confession, but Kit decided to start bickering with someone instead, so it’s g…[Read more]

@e-n-leonard

Lolll that was so funnn!!

This isn’t like Isaias or Rosemary at all. They really mean their philosophical nonsense. I bet Frey wouldn’t even if he swore before the Benevola Wolf.

Completely true XD

Frey

Mara seems to have had enough of our little game. What a pity, I’m just starting to enjoy myself.

“You don’t have to do tha…[Read more]

@e-n-leonard @lady-grace YES LETS YEET SAEVUS XD

I’m actually going to be really busy for the next two days, but I think that should be enough time to allow everyone else to finish up!  Feel free to go ahead and start the next challenge when everyone’s ready!  I’ll catch up when I’m ready XD

@e-n-leonard

CASTLE COMMANDMENTS

1) Thou shalt not yeeteth the innocents.

2) Thou shalt change the Castle Commandments at thine own will.

Therefore, it follows…😁

3) Thou shalt yeeteth the wicked.

Hey, Saevus…XD

🤣🤣🤣

Yes, Saevus, watch out… XD

@calidris

@everyone I think it’s about time to start a new challenge!

Yes! Yarrow is quite r…[Read more]

@e-n-leonard

That story/world sounds so interesting! NDs unite! That’s so awesome about them overpowering the system. 🙂

Thank you! I’m very proud of this concept 😊
NDs uniteeeeeeee- *immediately gets distracted by the bird outside the window*

And don’t feel bad about the infodump! At least half of us are ND and do it all the time 😁 myself incl…

@e-n-leonard

It should be seen more often imo 🙁

I’m glad you like it!  At first, I wasn’t quite sure how people would receive it, but so far people really like him and that makes me happy 🙂

Oh boy…how do I start…

So, Spire used to be WAY more dystopian, and focused on Basil and a female super soldier as main characters (as of now,…[Read more]

@mamaauthoress

Aww thank you!

OK SO HEAR ME OUT GUYS

don’t tell Kit but he’s kind of exactly my type-

I just…really REALLY like dramatic flamboyant stylish guys XD  And idk how it happens but it somehow ALWAYS ends up in my writing?  So, right now I have Kit (of course), Jasper, and Sebastian…but even before then I had Sasha (who’s c…[Read more]

@mamaauthoress

Aww thank you!

OK SO HEAR ME OUT GUYS

don’t tell Kit but he’s kind of exactly my type-

I don’t know how it happens, but I’ve just…always had a thing for dramatic flamboyant stylish guys?  And it ALWAYS finds it’s way into my writing (especially the love interests.)  So, right now I have Kit (of course), Jasper, and Sebastia…[Read more]

@e-n-leonard

You absolutely nailed Frey, I laughed out loud reading that because it’s exactly the kind of cryptic nonsense he’d find amusing!

Frey

”Mara Gobey-Hanad.” She tosses her head back, the frown still between her brows. She throws the next question at me, “Is this not a dream?”

I mostly said the dream part to start the conversat…[Read more]

@e-n-leonard

I definitely agree with what was mentioned about setting aside the book between drafts. For me at least, that’s been really important.

Yes, and unfortunately it’s something I find hard to do, since I like to just leap into things and get them done, without realizing that sometimes what seems like the long way is really the qui…[Read more]

Frey

My shoulders feel heavy, a deep ache settled in them. I can’t do anything about it, as always. I just hope this won’t last all day, if I have to do too much now, I’ll get a flare tomorrow, and I’m in the middle of a big assignment. If I get a bad grade on it, I’ll have to work harder elsewhere to catch up, and I don’t have the capacity to…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown

I LOVE Mayra already!! It’s so fun to see some other of your characters!

@mamaauthoress

Ahhhh, I love how you wrote that!! AND WHY ISN’T CALIX THERE?? Laura?? I’m worried?? XD

@e-n-leonard

I’m honestly not sure what Frey would say. He seems a little unpredictable XD

Unpredictable is putting it lightly XD It’ll be s…[Read more]

@calidris

She does have a negative character arc. It’s so hard to think of that when I’m writing her joking around with her little brother 😭  And the thing is, I don’t know if she’ll be redeemed! *wails*  Little did I know pantsing could result in this 🙁

@r-m-archer

You might not like this answer, but I’d say it’s whatever works best for your story. With some series, it’s definitely better to edit the first book first. I have a duology I’ll almost certainly refine book 1 in before I write book 2, or at least before I expect book 2 to offer a solid foundation to work from. Meanwhile, my plan fo…

@e-n-leonard That was so sad!  I keep forgetting that Mara is an antagonist…so it was so heartbreaking seeing her being so harsh with her younger self 🙁  That…plus she’s a Benevolent now…

I’m assuming she has a negative character arc?  Will she ever be redeemed?
