So from how I understand a non-cliche’ happy ending…It needs to have an ending that wasn’t expected to be happy, but ended up being happy anyway?  🙂

Some ideas I have so far:

1) Engineer invents a machine/robot that keeps failing at what it’s meant to do, but it eventually does something more than what the he first intended.

This makes me teary eyed. The theme and the story it portrays…huhu BEAUTIFUL. There is so much meaning and hope running through the words. I love how it brandishes your poetic style.

Hey, so sorry for the late reply. It’s been a busy week on my end. Barely got to go online. I guess I could try? 🙂 Though I’d most likely finish the story right before or after Christmas,. My introverted self is already drowning in the Christmas parties lined up for the holidays. I already have 6 to attend! Haha!

I just finished drafting an outline for my WIP. This is what I think it could be about:

 

Theme: Love

Focusing Question: How can I make someone love me?

Possible Answers:

-be perfect

-love them first or do good things to make them want you

-love yourself first

Will check them out! Still kinda lost with how guilds work. Hehe. In my head, I pictured getting welcomed by meerkats armed with swords and pens and pizza. And now we’re off  to adventures.

The main character’s thoughts are so real and vivid. And the topic on family always hits home. Are you planning on making this a whole novel? Cause I sure would love to read the rest of it.
