Pia sighed.

(Yeah that’s a thought, OH Weinik Can be the captive of the wizard, which means Pias father is suddenly on their side to save Weinik yet there’s still conflict between them. You can have them suddenly show up when they make camp for the night?)

(Łøĺ ñő ïţ’š mē. Ťhīş ōñė î§ mý fãvøřįťē: ö)

“I guess I’ll just be stuck with riches then…” she sighed. “You’re right though, there needs to be a change. ”

(Uh ok XD when should I bring them in? I thought maybe they could be captivating of the wizard when we finally get to him, but now I’m itching to bring them in lol)

(Lol I thought the thing just glitched Lolol)

And here Father doesn’t give any care to people… Destroying villages and taking people as slaves…. Pia was silent for a long moment. “Women are looked over in the Empire as well… Especially the royalty. It’s unfair sometimes…” Her mother… “Life is never fair. Certain nationalities in the…[Read more]

Eliana nodded, “you see, Julian grew up really poor. His father left them after he was born so his mother was alone and desperate. She’s really a sweet woman and wanted nothing more than to keep her baby boy strong and healthy, but she had no money and no one around to help her. She did everything she possibly could just to be able…[Read more]

Hey Brian! I got the notification of your post, but I’m not seeing it here. That may just be my device not loading it though.

Anyway, yes I really like the app you suggested, thank you! And thanks for checking in with me. I didn’t get the chance to record over the weekend so I was going to yesterday but I came down…[Read more]

@everybody

I don’t know if this Castle is still active since Calidris made Room B, but if it is, I’m going to pull Quin and Qatar and Fedor out, and put in a new character.

Name: Isella Aumardel, Princess of Archendale (pronunciation:  AH-mar-dell)

Height: 5’7″

Appearance: She’s tall and very slim, with waist-length strawberry blonde hair…[Read more]

@erynne

Erynne,

How’s your recording coming?

Were you able to find the one that works for you?

I use the Vocal Recorder Pro to record my vocal track and then I export it (the resulting mp3 file) to my One Drive.

From there, I open the file up in Audacity and edit it.

In Audacity, I amplify the audio and cut the parts where I stumbled in…[Read more]

@crazywriter,

Here we go again! I’ve set aside Tuesdays for editing/critiquing, so I should be able to get through your chapters a lot faster than before. 🙂

Hours later, Abner was riding southeast, Breanon’s hooves pounding the cobbled road. A group of ten cavalry officers rode behind him, all seasoned veterans with grim faces. Cold air b…[Read more]

Alessio clutched Nithel madly. Like his son the first time Domnik saw a man’s arm severed. Like his son would clutch him at night, when Nithel stumbled on him, weeping. He shouldn’t have had to fight. Cruel world. Nay… it was man. But my son is a man. Avigail… He burns inside, aching enough for physical pain. Alessio, what did they do to…[Read more]

(Lol ask what? The weird lettering?)

Pia nodded. “My brother can be like that, too.”

(Weinik… He’s a complicated character….. I guess most of mine are tho. OH I SHOULD DO A CHARA INTERVIEW FOR HIM HAHA)

(I love how you’ve gotten to know me well enough you don’t even ask anymore XD)

“Yeah, well so does Julian. He just grew up in a tough spot and that kind of shaped him to the way he is now. He’s normally a lot of fun. He’s the guy that’ll keep you laughing nonstop, but certain things get him fired up. Especially…well, especially when people are only thinking of themselves. Not that I thought you were, he just may have seen…[Read more]

Pia shook her head. “I just have a fiery temper. I get that from my father…” This drove her silent. Her character was shaped by her father’s large presence Al throughout her life. She wondered what she would’ve been like if she had had her mother as her mother.

“No, no…I should’ve expected it.”

Alessio squeezes his eyes shut, trying to block out the words. He’d always taken the responsibility like that, as if it was his fault whenever someone hurt him. Nithel didn’t deserve any of this. What if Alessio was just as abusive as his family, inadvertent or not?

They called people with special powers aber…[Read more]

Hi Joshua! (@storysmith)

Rose has some great ideas!

Make sure that your title connects with your story in a meaningful way.
Look through the story and listen for a turn of phrase or a particular part that you feel might encapsulate your story’s essence.  I think the upcoming seminar on Theme might give you some good ideas.  If you can, connect y…[Read more]

@storysmith

Well, a good place to start is that your title doesn’t have to be perfect 🙂 The only thing your title has to do is fit your genre and the general idea of your story. It isn’t part of the story, it doesn’t necessarily have to make a big thematic statement or show some other layer to the story. It just has to sound good, be (somewhat)…[Read more]

Nithel hadn’t been expecting the punch. He’d only wanted to stop Alessio from breaking his hand on the stone, to calm him down, to make him breathe. But Nithel slung back against the wall, stars dancing in his vision, and pain cutting up his jaw. He released Alessio, one hand reaching back to steady himself against the stone, the other flying to…[Read more]

“Alessio.”

There weren’t any windows, and it was dark and trapped. He knew he recognized the voice, but he didn’t have time to think. It always smelled like urine, or something sick that you could never forget. He’d die before he let them drag him back there.

Someone grabbed his hand and Alessio jerked back against the wall.

“Let me go!” H…[Read more]
