He’s awesome but we don’t want him yeeting the innocents of the castle anymore 😂😂
Think we should put “Thou shall not yeeteth innocents” in the castle rules? XD
YEAH!! ADHD, WHAT ABOUT YOU??

Also I keep having irrational desires to allow Sasha back in Spire but I know that’s an extremely bad idea so I won’t do it XD Remember how he Y E E T E D Quinn?!!
Keep him in the storage cabinet Calidris, I will never forget that awful moment XDDD

I’ve been experiencing the same problem, and so has @this-is-not-an-alien
When I click on the Character Castle 2.0 page, it shows a white screen that says “No matching template found.”
I get the error message too, it looks like a website bug.

You absolutely nailed Frey, I laughed out loud reading that because it’s exactly the kind of cryptic nonsense he’d find amusing!
Frey
”Mara Gobey-Hanad.” She tosses her head back, the frown still between her brows. She throws the next question at me, “Is this not a dream?”

Frey
My shoulders feel heavy, a deep ache settled in them. I can’t do anything about it, as always. I just hope this won’t last all day, if I have to do too much now, I’ll get a flare tomorrow, and I’m in the middle of a big assignment. If I get a bad grade on it, I’ll have to work harder elsewhere to catch up, and I don’t have the capacity to…[Read more]

I LOVE Mayra already!! It’s so fun to see some other of your characters!
Ahhhh, I love how you wrote that!! AND WHY ISN’T CALIX THERE?? Laura?? I’m worried?? XD
I’m honestly not sure what Frey would say. He seems a little unpredictable XD
Unpredictable is putting it lightly XD It’ll be s…[Read more]

Rose replied to the topic Concerning Beta Readers and Editing (aka, I have QUESTIONS!) in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 9 months ago
As an additional note here, it’s a good idea to set aside the book for a while if you’re in the latter camp when you finish.
Ah, great suggestion! I do that as well, I just forgot to mention it XD
As for my WIP, I am farther along in it than any other book attempt before! I’m over 50,000 words *squeals in delig…

I feel ya, but just sayin’, that is not a big deal at all. Worry about that when you’re line editing and in between books. Of all the problems to have, free-flowing, but mediocre prose is an awesome one.
Honestly, that’s very encouraging XD I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts XD

Rose replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 9 months ago
Thank you! I can’t blame you XD
Also I loved your piece! Cahira sounds like quite a character, I can’t wait for her and Frey to interact XD I think he’ll annoy the heck out of her.
Okay time for Frey to meet his future self I guess! Also going to attempt to write this in second-person present because that’s… the weirdest tense I…[Read more]

Okay yessss here we go! I’m excited! Fair warning, I may mess around with some weird tenses or points of view. I missed experimenting with those in here XD

Yessss awesome!
@everyone
I suggest we ‘resurrect’ Lord Castle so we have an antagonist again, so he just reappears in the form of the castle again, shuffles the rooms around and has all the existing characters reappear in a new room! That way all the new characters get a fresh start. Will that work or are there any other…[Read more]

Hey Joelle!!
Have you tried writing in a genre so astronomically different from your preferred one?
That’s an awesome idea, I’ll be working on that! I actually have a book like that currently in the outlining phase, so I think I’ll start spending some more time on that!

Thank you so much for your reply!
Sometimes we writers can feel a little stagnated or even drained because we are either only taking in, or only flowing out and the content of what we take in, may affect what flows out of us.
That’s a very interesting point, and one I hadn’t really thought of. I have been reading and…[Read more]

Hello friends! As the title suggests, I’ve kinda hit a rough spot with my writing.
Not in the way you’d probably think, it’s not the dreaded writer’s block. Rather the opposite, I’m in that blissful state every writer longs for where word counts are being hit, the words are flowing, the story is taking shape, and writing is fun.
However, in the…[Read more]
