Lately I’ve been drawing a lot, and experimenting with anatomy, among oher things. Of course it often doesn’t turn out looking quite right, but in my years of drawing I’ve learned that that is okay. Every time I try again, my work gets…[Read more]

Yesssss

I love it.

(sorry I can’t make notes *in* Google Docs at the moment…)

I don’t have time atm to go over it with a fine-toothed comb, but later today I will. Great job!

But if you think it could work another way and still be powerful, go for it!

Wow, I’m so glad everyone likes it… 8)

(I am so embarrassed about this 😆) I wrote it kind of as a…idk, stream-of-consciousness thingy? That’s not the right word. Anyway, it’s not a strict outline, but it’s not an actual rough draft.

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]

😆 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!

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]

But, erm, congratulations Rillumen!! 😀

@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.

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. 😏

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]

Well, I’ve always loved writing characters (they’re usually the idea that come first, and then I build a story around them). But one of my bigger breakthroughs recently was realizing that the plot has to directly affect the characters, and directly matter to them, even if it’s still a world-changing plot. (Idk, is this more a plot…[Read more]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Literally, though, it is the most surprising, unexpected, mind-blowing movie I’ve ever seen.

And, as far as Hogwarts house, I’m a Hufflepuff with a strong side of Gryffindor. 😀 How do I find out the other things, like my Patro…[Read more]
