@daeus-lamb @lady-iliara @kate Okay! 🙂 I’ll get to work on an outline.

Along the lines of the hero giving himself away piece by piece, I have an idea, but it’s kind of fantasy-ish. Not sure if we’re going for that genre? Anyway, what if the MC has the power to heal others, but each time he does he gives away part of his own life force? So as his comrades are repeatedly injured in battles, he keeps…[Read more]

Grace Johnson replied to the topic Perfect Prose? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 10 months ago
@elizabeth I’m still working on my prose, so I’m not sure how much help I can be, but I would echo what @hope-ann said–definitely read things aloud. It helps to figure out what sounds awkward and what doesn’t.
Also, I don’t know if this is cheating or not, but it could really help if you chose one of your favorite authors (someone whose words…[Read more]

@lady-iliara Good idea!
We would also need a way to make the father easy for readers to relate to, in that he is still a flawed human being. I’m not sure how we could pull that off, though.
Does anyone know the word limit?

Grace Johnson replied to the topic Tragedy, ahoy! in the forum Announcements 5 years, 10 months ago
@kate Okay, I see. Thank you! 😀
I have a suggestion: @m_corinnemusic said that we need to get the reader attached to the character as quickly as possible, and that the character should impact others. I totally agree. What if the father (if we use him as our dying character) gives his life for a rebellious son? That scene could be packed full of…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb So, how does this work? Do we all brainstorm/plot together and then elect a writer? I’ve never done this before–it sounds like lots of fun! 😀

Hello! I just figured out how to access my guild, lol!
So, I have a question for anyone who knows about these things: Will I get notified when there are new New Wessex events going on (like, for instance, writing prompt competitions and stuff)? If not, should I just be on the lookout for new threads?
Thanks! 😀

@devastate-lasting Yes. I think I’m in New Wessex?
Are you in a guild?
@nuetrobolt Yay! Smart dragon. 😉

@nuetrobolt He does? *Fist-bump…if dragons can fist-bump* I like spicy stuff, too. 😉
@evelyn Whew, that’s good to know. XD
@devastate-lasting That sounds like a lot of fun! Everything’s more exciting at night. 😀 And Chinese food is almost as amazing as pizza. 😛

@sam-kowal Thanks! 😀
I know, right? It seems like the majority of people on here write fantasy, or at least read it. : )
@the-fledgling-artist Yeah, the Big Hero 6 movie is good. : ) I’ve never seen the TV show, but a friend told me it wasn’t very good.
I love your puffin picture! It’s so cute! 😀

@the-fledgling-artist Hi! What kinds of things do you like to sketch? Maybe one of these days I’ll post some doodles on one of the art threads. 😀
My favorite movie…oh, boy. That’s hard. Well, I like all of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbits. But then there’s Hunger Games. And Epic, and Big Hero 6, and How to Train Your Dragon… okay, I give…[Read more]

PIZZA TIME! *Hands everyone virtual pizza*
Yo. You may remember me from KP–most of you probably won’t, because I spent most of the time in the shadows reading articles, or working on my novel. Oh, well.
I’m GabbyJ (that’s my forum name, anyway), I’m 15, and I love writing (fantasy), sketching (characters), relentlessly scrutinizing…[Read more]

I know, right?!! That’s actually how I got the idea for the novel I’ve spent the last two years writing/revising–from my younger sister’s dream! (She has awesome dreams, lol.)

You know you’re a writer when your mom’s on gardening Pinterest boards and she says, “Look at this bean! It says here it’s called a Dragon Bean. You could have these growing in Alamire.” FIY, Alamire is the name of my fantasy world, and my mom knows me all too well, lol.
You know you’re an artist/writer when you’re trying to describe a weird…[Read more]
