@padawanpadme Hey, no problem. I’m glad to be of help!

Looking back I probably should have given an example or something. 😛

@josiah Thanks! I need to read more Dickens sometime. Any books you would especially recommend?

@padawanpadme Thank you! I’m not sure exactly how long I’ve been writing. . . I think I really starting dabbling in it around fifth grade. No one is ever permitted to read anything I wrote in the time period that followed 😛 . It was terrible. I mean…[Read more]

@padawanpadme

Nice to meet you *Bows 🙂

Yep, definitely not ones I’ll be posting lol!!!

My favourite part is the prose and descriptions. I absolutely love doing really unusual and detailed descriptions. I love trying to really make people ‘see’ what I’m describing by using different sorts of metaphors etc…

^^ That’s a good starting point.

To get technical, it really depends on your sci-fi culture. If it’s futuristic America, just make up stuff that sounds cool and fairly normal. Futuristic Chinese? Make up something that sounds cool and Chinese. Now if it’s alien, you can do a pretty good fake by…[Read more]
