@kate The problem with both of these to me is that they might take too long to describe—they would be perfect as part of a longer story, but I’m not sure we can milk the emotional depth in a short piece. But maybe that’s just me. (Remember, I have literally no experience in character death!) 😝

One thing that’s particularly heartbreaking to me i…[Read more]

How old were you when you started writing?

Hoo boy! I’m not entirely sure, I feel like I’ve been writing my whole life. When I was probably seven, I wrote a little story about a horse that was stolen and then got away and ran back home to his owners. I still have the little book that I stapled together. 😄 From there it just kinda exploded. I’v…[Read more]

I noticed that I was attached not only to the character, but to the character’s impact on others.

@m_corinnemusic Yes! I think that’s a key point right there.

I’m not sure about telling it from an inanimate/animal point of view. I feel like either first person or limited third would be cool. If it’s told from first-person, I’d want to cut out m…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb THIS IS SO HELPFUL. SO. HELPFUL. THANK YOU.

😆 But seriously, my current WIP is written in first-person and has a lot of angst and inner brooding, so this is perfect. It makes so much more sense now!

@daeus-lamb Ooh, how exciting!

It would be cool to do it from the viewpoint of a character who is dying, maybe in battle, and it’s not the typical heroic death with friends crowding around in their last dying moments. Maybe the character is deathly afraid when they realize they’ve been mortally wounded and are dying alone, but they move into a po…[Read more]

*hides* I only wrote 1040 words this week… I JUST CAN’T WRITE FAST… SORRY SAXON SCRIBES!

But, erm, congratulations Rillumen!! 😀

*throws biscuits and gravy*

I’ve heard a lot of theories about how Loki isn’t truly dead, and I’m starting to believe them. (A) He didn’t revert back to frost giant form when he died, (B) why would he try to use just a knife to kill Thanos, he’s smarter than that, and (C) there’s an unaccounted-for bit of time on the ship where we don’t see where he is…

*holds out hope*

@mariposa AHHH that was hilarious! My favorite line is, “He swung it back at Gabrielle, because it was better to give than to receive.” XD

The chapters for the story I’ve been working on most recently are 1100-1200 words long, but then again I’m writing it more as a serial story (writing a chapter and then posting it). I’m not sure about the length of chapters in my other stories.

I’d never really thought about how chapter length could affect my story. This is something I’ll ha…[Read more]

I only wrote 1040 words this week…sorry! But I feel like I really got my story heading on the right track, so…yeah.

@r-m-archer YAY! I’m so glad! 😀

@r-m-archer I’m praying for you! And as far as lacking writing motivation—I’ve ben there before. Sometimes it just seems like nothing at all is in my brain. 😛 It’s those times where I just have to decide to let it go for a bit, and trust that God will help me when it’s time to pick up the pen again. So idk but I try not to stress too much abou…[Read more]

My goal this week is to figure out what I’m writing about for the Story Embers contest, as well as write another chapter (hopefully two!) on my Aetherlight backstory: https://forums.theaetherlight.com/t/iliara-mustardtop-my-story/2251

@warrenluther04 Oh, I wish! 😅 No, I found it on Pinterest. It looks just like how I imagine my Aetherlight character!

Hey y’all, a friend told me about this one:

Home

@daeus-lamb Yeah, but I can only see the first page of “recent activity.” It sends me to an empty page when I try to go back further…

@daeus-lamb Thanks, I’ll try and do that!

@r-m-archer I really agree! Actually, the Aetherlight forums (which I am also part of) are like that, and they are really easy to navigate. But I don’t know how easy that sort of system would be to implement here.

@ariella-newheart YEAAHHHH *comes in with a flying kick*

You’re here! Woot! And @silverclaw-bonnetfolly! I must’ve missed your entrance! *high-fives*

I am a Saxon Scribe of New Wessex. *proud head tilt* We even have a coat of arms…

YAK. 😏

Hey y’all! So…I haven’t been on here much lately…I was really busy with plays and stuff, and I have a lot I’m doing everyday.

But I really want to stay connected! I think playing into it is my obsession with reading every single topic, and since I am now hopelessly behind, it’s really bugging my brain. 😂

So, uh…any advice? Cause I really…[Read more]

I think I got 35, which is intermediate *I think*, or it might’ve been novice. Idk. 😄
