@k-a-grey
Thank you for your thoughts.

There are tons of people in the Bible who did creative works & projects God requested of His people that we can learn from (thank you for bringing this up, it is a good point to ponder).
Are there examples that go along with this discussion, you think?

A painter once said of his impression on the stars:…[Read more]

*highfives back* Yes, thank you! You covered a lot of things that my poor brain wasn’t able to put into words. Like, I literally had to copy and paste most of the conversation into a google doc so I could highlight and comment just so I could form some basis to put my thoughts together and it was still confusing 😂…[Read more]

This is what I come back to…? Like I just came to reply to Noah…😁✌️

*So, seeing as I started this debate up again it is possible I may have started something*

*again.*

Ok ok, guys, a lot of arguments just spark from misunderstanding what the other people say. Lets look unpack this!

Once I reply to Camirvablahblah…[Read more]

IDK if this is necessary, but I’m gonna tag those who have been active in this thread in case nobody sees it. Feel free to NOT answer this post y’all, because it’s a monster of a post!

Hello! Thanks for joining the discussion!

Also, gotta admit, when you went into the whole “skeletal design of a woman accommodates carrying a child in their womb, etc., etc.” thing, it felt kinda condescending. True for the most part, but unnecessary and condescending.  Which Lona also expresses, though somewhat snarkily😉

I thought the…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf

did that help at all, or shall I try again?

It was very helpful! Your suggestions have sparked new ideas. If you don’t mind, could you review this new idea and see if it makes sense and is realistic?

My idea goes something like this:

The girl’s (I’ll call her Lyra for now) act of running away is the first crack in the world’s…[Read more]

@k-a-grey

In extremely volatile places, nomadic civs would be a great idea. Thanks for your thoughts!

@emily-waldorf

Other ideas I had was: short shrubby things that are heat resistant, or just burn up and regrow very quickly.

That’s a great idea. I will be keeping that one.

Levitating plants.

Now you’ve go me thinking…I will be keeping this…[Read more]

@k-a-grey

Soo, the first thing I thought of is that she’s actually insane, and her family is desperately trying to bring her back down to reality. So one day she thinks it’s aliens, another day it’s noxious gases being released, but she’s clearly unstable. So once she finds the truth, she will basically destroy her own inner world, which her fam…

Here’s one for y’all:

Fantasy world in a medieval-like era. This world is brimming with geothermal energy and tectonic shifts, and is constantly rent by earthquakes. Often, these earthquakes are far more than normal earth quakes. Some have ripped pieces of land apart creating huge trenches, others have…[Read more]

@noah-cochran and @jared-williams  and @k-a-grey thank you all! I think I found something that could work with all of the input you all gave me!

@k-a-grey that sounds better. 🙂 I like the “fair weather (boy)friend”–it made me smile, lol.

@k-a-grey

Okay, I’m not sure about this idea, but here goes. I’m thinking along the lines of It’s a Wonderful Life. Your character is so overwhelmed and frantic with life that she/he wants to go to the Mirror City. The Reflector surprisingly agrees to take her on the condition that she stay in the building that connects the two cities. She…[Read more]

@k-a-grey

First of all, that is amazing! The ending just so–*wired writer’s chef’s kiss*–so grim and gloriously terrible. Okay, so a couple of suggestions. You have an amazing idea, but no story (because what you have is just a scene). You have the potential to really go places with this story, though. You already have a sympathetic character…[Read more]

@k-a-grey

 Okay, cool!  I’d love to help with yours too, so do you want to trade comments?

That would be great!

I wrote a little scene, and my sister loved it so much, she wants to know the rest of the story.  Problem is, I don’t know the rest of the story. 😂 Thoughts on where I should go from here?

First of all, that’s a really cool concep…[Read more]

@k-a-grey thanks! I’m glad you started this thing rolling!

@inkhorn

I figured others were in the same place as me! Thanks, I love it, too. It’s supposedly his last words.

I was working on the post full of tags and you were both in it, but you beat me to the punch. Thanks a ton!

@emily-waldorf

This is perfect timing! I’m brainstorming for another book and having a bit of trouble on figuring out some points.

Also, your quote from Bach is AWESOME!

@k-a-grey

I wouldn’t mind in the least.
