I wouldn’t have guessed that precisely, but I sensed something, so I think you’re handling it pretty well.

Yeah, I figured you wouldn’t. What I meant was: I wasn’t sure if it was glaringly obvious that I was practicing channelling that. 😂

*blinks* I need to figure out how to word things better. 😅

I feel ya. I’m currently in a perio…

You did a great job showing Coryn’s mental and heart twisting pain. I could feel it, and it definitely felt very unique in that way.

Thanks! I’m glad I did. 😅
(Author’s Note: she’s autistic, so I’ve been practicing channelling that into her perspective — not sure if that was )

Osløn is very intriguing. He is driven by need for di…

Totally makes sense, and in some cases, characters like them may not have much backstory or background to talk of. It just depends on what you’re wanting to do with them.

I still need to come up with some kind of backstory that justifies their lies, but it’s probably not going to be anything huge and dramatic. Probably a more e…[Read more]

@noah-cochran

You got it exactly right, down to the last irrelevant detail! 😀

First off, I love the contrast of their views on the weather and rain. That was a blast to read.

Thanks, I really appreciate it! I had to use something to connect and contrast them, and what better than the weather? XD

These characters appear to be school or u…

Minus a few nuances, that is almost entirely correct. Success! xD

Yay!!! It was well shown, it was easy to guess!

Her Jewish origins were exactly what I was trying to get across in a non-telling way. She is an ex-Jewess, but her memories and thoughts are still quite grounded in the way she grew up.

Fascinating!! I can’t wait to find…[Read more]

@noah-cochran

First of all, that was an absolute joy to read. I love Talia and Wren already! The prose was really pretty and easy to read as well!

They’re such polar opposites it’s downright amusing XD

I’m going to guess Talia is the other woman in the second piece, the one with the loose hair.

I feel sorry for Talia. Something happened to her…[Read more]

@obrian-of-the-surface-world

So, is Will from earth and gets in some form or fashion teleported back and forth? Similar to Ted Dekker’s book, Black? From the sound of the gunslinging, I would hazard a guess, Wild West or some sort of post-apocalyptic?

guessing he’s a pre-teenager (12-14ish) who has a lot of anger which he displaces on his…[Read more]

I don’t know where Puxico is other than it’s in Mo, so don’t ask me XD

It’s the For His Glory cconference at a Baptist church in Puxico. Apparently Paul Washer is supposed to be there which would be so cool. (Idk that for sure, but that’s what we’re being told)

Hi Noah! @noah-cochran

The three hundred word limit is very tough.  Can we get a vote for upping it to 350? 🙂

Here’s my second character part:
(349 words)

My name is Will.  Not that you’d care.  I don’t know why I keep getting jerked back here.  Wherever this place is.

Now that Dad is dead, I never wanted to come back here again.  I saw him…[Read more]

@noah-cochran

Ohh, this looks like fun!

In each passage, instead of telling through introspection, each player is to show their characters’ personality, flaws/fears/misbeliefs, culture, background, normal life, and occupation through descriptions, dialogue, and beats (some introspection is okay, but using it to info-dump is not ideal).

I have t…[Read more]

@noah-cochran

Hey Noah! How’s life? Thanks for subbing to my emails, I hope you enjoy them!

This sounds like a blast! Thanks for the tag!

I will try to get to this tomorrow, I just have to read the other people’s things to make sure I have the right idea.

Btw… I doubt it, but you’re not by chance going to the conference in Puxico next month…[Read more]

Here’s one of my characters, but I will have to add another separately.
Not sure if this is what you were looking for:  (320 words)

I hate legless creepy crawlies.  One night I tucked under a rock ledge to rid meself of the sleepies.  Rain and wet had mucked the field and that imbecile Shelberd, I’ve been…[Read more]

@noah-cochran This is a fun idea! I’ll try to come back to it later this week while I’m on break from my bigger writing projects and I’ll hopefully have some more brain power, lol.

@noah-cochran this sounds very fun and I shall get back to it 😉

@noah-cochran

Hi! It’s nice to meet you!

So while I’m not an expert in writing dystopian books (or any other books for that matter 😬),  I do have one idea inspired by the French Revolution. It goes something like this: the rebels truly wish to do what is best for their society, but in overthrowing the government, they lose sight of their orig…[Read more]

@noah-cochran

Oh, you have this is your trilogy? What’s the trilogy called again by the way?

Yep! It worked its way in accidentally and I actually really like it XD

Welll…. I may or may not be stuck on a name for it XD My mind is an endless waste of desert with one tumbleweed and no ideas XD I’m currently just referring to it as the “Gilded B…[Read more]

@allertingthbs

Oh, thanks for the recommendation! I’ve been looking at it!

@noah-cochran

Ah, yes, we think alike, Rose. This concept is something I’ve been considering for a while now (though not in the exact way you explained it, so thanks for mentioning it). There is plot question of ‘what would happen if the villains won?’ and making a serie…
