Hope McClellan

So I posted the blurb on Realm Makers. Verdict was it didn’t have a clear enough plot! (People also wanted a little stronger sense of the world it was set in.)

I’ve buckled down and tried a rewrite. What do you think?

@hope-mcclellan I finally did it! I have made a minefield out of the Google doc, in true Naiya fashion. XP

Before you go check out my suggestions, I do want to let you know–I love your story, your style, all of it. I seriously can’t wait to read more (and, I have to admit, I’m really curious about Cillian). The number of edits isn’t at all a…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan Agh, you’re so sweet! Thank you! 😁
@anne_the_noob14 Awww! Okay, I’ll be honest, I was in a serious character drawing mood tonight and randomly went “hey, I know she didn’t tell me what her characters look like yet, but I want to draw them right now, so I’ll get started and add the details when she provides them.” So the one I have…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan *grins ridiculously* Thanks! But now Mom’s saying I have to finish my pre-beta edits in the next two weeks because I have a research paper to write for school. . . 😖 I’ll be sure to tag you when I’m ready for beta-readers if you have time! 😊

GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!

I finished the first draft of my story!

*squee*

I mean, I still have a bunch of sections and scenes and development to put in, but I’ve essentially typed ‘the end’ for the first time in, like, five years. So I feel accomplished. 😀

I…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan Ooh, that sounds lovely! I have to finish some packing first, though. 😅 I can let you know as soon as I’m able!

@hope-mcclellan Special needs can be so interesting. I have this story idea involving an autistic protagonist who tries to hide his disorder from people he meets because in the past, people have treated him weirdly after finding out. Then he meets this girl he becomes great friends with until she accidentally finds out about his autism. She starts…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan I just love children! 😁 Always have to control myself when I see a cute kid I don’t know. Wouldn’t do to creep parents out. 😉

If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of special needs do you work with? I have a few relatives with autism/Asperger’s, so that kind of thing interests me. (Perfectly fine if you don’t want to share that,…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan YAY!!! Haha, I get what you mean by ‘vibe’ 😛 . *nods* Will do. And it looks like I can comment just fine!

Just warning you, though, I’m about to be at my grandmother’s house for about a week, and I won’t have internet access there. That may well cause issues with the doc 🙂 . Do you mind if I copy it onto a Word doc on my…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan I know, right? I’m obsessing over them/showing them to family members, too, and they’re not even pictures of my characters! XD

Thanks everyone so much for your help!

I give you, The Songkiller’s Synopsis 2.o. How’s it work for you? @taylorclogston @snapper @sarah-inkdragon @kate @hope-ann @hope-mcclellan

Failing to save her fourteen years ago haunts his memory, driving Exton to dare what immortals call impossible. This is war, a game with no mercy for the incompetent.…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan  Sorry for the wait.  I’m trying to do Asmund, but I can’t get it satisfactory… xD

@naiya-dyani  I might try Grace or Tai. 🙂

@hope-mcclellan Ooh, this is a great idea! I love this!! 😀

@naiya-dyani Thanks for tagging me!

Either of you up for a word war right now?

@hope-mcclellan,

Alright let’s see if this works. I’ve been having some technical difficulties. My posts aren’t posting when I attach pictures, so I’ll have to give you a link instead. 😛

I drew a picture of your character, Cillian. It turned out a little more realistic than I had planned, but I hope you like it anyway. 🙂

And while I was at…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan Ack, I’ve been too busy to write for fifteen straight minutes for a while! 😅 Hopefully I’ll be able to do one soon; I probably won’t be able to write tomorrow, though, since I have to finish physics. And next week I’ll be at my grandmother’s house, where I won’t have wifi to do word wars! I’ll have to check in whenever I have time,…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan Hmm, I might. . . I think my family’s about to start baking cookies, but I’ll try to check back in once we’re done! 😀

@hope-mcclellan I’d love to do another! Are you still around?

There were several people who did word wars the most frequently during NaNo; I’ll tag some of them, although there were others who joined in from time to time that would be great to see here!
