@adnyole Hello! I have a few thoughts 🙂
Before I get started, I am going to (non-graphically) discuss sexual abuse in this context, so just a heads up in case this is a sensitive topic for you! Also, I don’t know what your gender is, so I’m just going to address both sides of the issue XD
So, I guess my question is, what was the context b…[Read more]

Oh dear (I hope you meant the turtle and not my characters’ head exploding *hears crashing in background* Erm, but who can tell with that crazy lot of mine? XD)
But either way, you should’ve seen my baby dragon with the hiccups! It’s a miracle the house is still standing! *hides scorched rug behind dresser* *grins*

Hi. *waves*
Haha, I know exactly what you are talking about. XD Some side characters insist on stealing the spot-light and that makes it hard as an author.
Calidris had some great advice. One thing I thought maybe I should mention is you could always try 2 points of view instead of 1. If Payton wants to steal the show but for story…[Read more]

Arindown (Gracie) replied to the topic Word Count Question in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 8 months ago
I think Rose is right…probably between 75k and 100k. If it’s under that it’s always okay to classify it as a novella, and if it’s over it’s just a big book (yay!) or you can probably cut the length down in edits.
Personally I like aiming for 80k (which is usually too short for me XD).

Thank you!

Hey! *waves* I haven’t been on here for probably a year, so I don’t think we’ve met.
I think your story sounds really intriguing.
I am sure you have already thought of a few of these, but I will throw them out there anyway.

Hi, yeah I am pretty new. Thanks for the input. Yeah, she does end up having to tell him at some point before the escape and Yona would really struggle with it because of the dishonor he feels. The problem I am having is really what kind of journey to take them on together after that point where said escape takes place. How is the pair going to…[Read more]

Yes! It’s very concerning, and it has now grow to a bigger issue. They are getti…[Read more] -

Hey, Kinda late to the party but I got some comments from the peanut gallery. I think a lot of what Christians can consume comes down to their personal freedom and their personal weaknesses. Each person needs to discern with their people and God, what they can and can’t handle. Some read LOTR, some can’t, some read Harry Potter, some adamantly…[Read more]

Hey, so I am working on an outline for a story about an African teen named Ambrose whose fictional tribe was basically anialated by rebels, and he gets caught on the edge of an explosion that scars his face which leads him to Medical personal Yona and his Irish wife Lydia “Bibi Miti”.

Lol you’re good. I think…maybe a mix of two and three.
Fun Fact: Miles’ sword was forged by ***** (I have no idea what yet) but basically it was forged long ago for the King Gabor. After Gabor died, his wife took up the sword and escaped to Parvus. Years later, Miles comes along, takes up the same sword, and begins a war o…[Read more]

Hi again!
Does anyone also know if there could be a pain-killer strong enough to ease physical wounds in pill-form?
-
For severe pain: opiates ie. morphine, codeine, oxycodone, hydromorphone etc. Or plain old opium if going for a more old school/medieval type approach to medicine. Mild pain: Asprin, Ibuprophen. Asprin is a derivative from certain trees, people used cocaine leaves in the past. How severe is “your pain” and what medicinal method would you like to use?
-
My protagonist is experiencing severe pain as his body slowly adjusts to a power he receives where he can control the atoms in his body/objects he touches, mostly just turning things into dust, or in the case of his body, being able to control its density, enabling him to pass through objects and turn parts of himself into dust and back to…[Read more]

I don’t see why not. He could use even fentanyl if he had to (it is used in medicine sometimes). Analgesics (pain meds) basically block the pain signals in the brain or nervous system. There are tons of pain meds so that seems perfectly fine to me. Just, uh, watch your guy for physical dependence and addiction cause a fellow with that much…[Read more]

Awesome!
Yeah, he wouldn’t get addicted to the drugs, it was given to him once so he would be able to function as he’s being rescued.
Thank you so much again for helping! -
Sure thing!

Hey everyone!
I was wondering if any of you would know the effects it would have on the body to have electrocution as a form of torture for a few days?
If a person had their arms chained so they were forced to stand for about 24-12 hours as well, what would happen to the body then?
Could a person lose limbs in a fire?
Also, My protagonist’s…[Read more]

Hi, I happen to be some studying burns in school, I am also a bit of a nerd and would love to give you a hand. First, a person can lose a limb due to fire, but most likely as the result of an amputation from burn complications such as infection, or compartment syndrome (essential circulation is cut off from the limb because the burn circles the…[Read more]

Oh, and to the other questions, electrocution effects are going to depend entirely on the voltage, current, and amperage of electricity in use. It is also going to depend on the duration of direct electrical exposure. It is definitely going to affect the electrical conduction of the heart and muscles, likely causing injury over time. It is…[Read more]

Thank you so much again! I’m not that medically inclined, and often don’t know where to start researching these topics!
The nature of the fire that injured him is a great point, I really should’ve looked into that more than just him neglecting something in his house when in an argument.

Hey, no worries. So research can be as simple as google and youtube and as complex as a peer-reviewed article from a publication journal. the trick is just making sure you’ve got reliability so always look for information provided by universities, or professionals and just check those resources against each other for discrepancies. There’s lots of…[Read more]

Gee, your character is gonna need some serious therapy for all that trauma and PTSD. 🙂

Thank you so much!!!
Yeah… this character is really messed up… I love writing him, and I am giving him a happy ending (as happy as it could end) but still… he’s not ok 😬. He really needs a therapist.

Accept your fear and cowardice!
One million ways to break a human being, and all the pieces just never die. It’s amazing how much people can take and not die however much they wish they could. Something about staying alive is so human, no matter how much you hate life you’re just a little too scared to leave it…
