@dakota Thanks! 🙂 And at least I’ve gotten the characters out of the truck by now.

@dakota Same. I haven’t written much at all lately and actually left two of my characters in an upside down truck after a villain shot out their tire. So, yeah…I should probably finish that scene…and the book. I hope to do better this week, maybe starting around 8:30am or 9:00am tomorrow. Maybe. I hope. *weak smile*

@jane-maree I enjoyed your…[Read more]

Would your character rather (knowing that they are a part of a story) have read their whole story before it happens, or ONLY know how things end and have to figure everything else out as the story progresses?

Judah: Well, I’m super curious, so…yeah, I guess I’d want to know. Wait. Unless…would that mess up the story? Because then I’d act…[Read more]

Yes. *Thumbs up*

Would you rather your beloved die or yourself for them?

Judah: Myself. I don’t know if I could stand to lose anyone else. And, anyway, if I love her then it’s kind of a no-brainer. Right? Same goes for all my friends -no way I’d lose them if I had the choice to save them. Well, not again. *rubs a hand across his face as he thinks about how he…[Read more]

@noodle-mum Thank you! Aiden sounds like a fun character too!

Would you rather ask for help or figure it out yourself?

Blade: Hmm…I guess it would depend on the situation. I’m not above asking for help.

Judah: I’d rather figure it out myself. But if it’s way more efficient to have the help then maybe I’d go with that. Maybe. Eventually. It…[Read more]

Would you rather drown or be burned?

Blade: Drown, I guess. But there are terrible options. Still, though, I think I’m ready for the next life. I mean, I am three-hundred-and-two. Or seventeen, depending on how you look at it. *shrugs*

Would you rather have skin that changes (bright) colors with your emotions or always have music playing around…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>@evelyn Thank you! I’m having some fun with it.</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Charlie and Zeb sound like great characters! What’s your story about?</p>

Judah -the tenacious son of a police officer tries to solve his parents’ murder in a town choked by a mysterious crime boss.

Lauren -an edgy, strong-willed, confident auto-shop mechanic with an affinity for rock music and mad escape artist skills.

Kaz -a troubled magician who works for a crime boss, before taking his chances against him.

Travis…[Read more]

Would your character rather live friend-less or have witnessed the death if all his/her family?

Judah: If we were only talking about immediate family, then I’d choose the second one. I can’t get my parents back anyway. At least if I saw it… *swallows hard and narrows his eyes* …then I’d know who Prince is and I could bring him to justi…[Read more]

Would your character rather live a life of poverty and freedom or luxury and a prisoner?

Judah: Poverty and freedom. Stuff doesn’t matter that much anyway, but freedom…yeah, I wouldn’t want to live without that. …I’ve had enough imprisonment in my life.

Lauren: Poverty and freedom. Definitely.

Dante: What kind of prisoner are we talki…[Read more]

Would your character rather have to obey their enemy for 24 hours or switch places with their enemy for a week?

Judah: It’d be horrible, but I’d switch places. Maybe it’d help me figure out how to take him down. Besides, if I had to obey him, he might make me murder people -I couldn’t take that risk.

Lauren: Ugh. I’d trade places. Even though it…[Read more]

Hi, Lucius! I enjoyed your story! I also have a few suggestions:

-you could try using less common similes (e.g. instead of “she smoked like a chimney” you could say something like “she smoked like a campfire”).  You could also replace similes in those situations with more actions and imagery, like: “She too…[Read more]

I liked your post, Jane Maree. 🙂 It’s kind of funny, but when I was younger I had this weird idea that, like, most people were gifted in a few specific ways, they were supposed to concentrate on those talents, and the younger they started the better. It took me a stupid long time to fully process that, “hey, people can learn things when the…[Read more]

I’m sorry about your anxiety issues I used to have a lot of panic attacks and absolutely hated them -it felt like my worst fear was about to come true and I was helpless to stop it; like I would not ever be happy again. It turns out that mine was related to a gluten allergy and now my attacks are pretty much gone.

I’m sorry about your mom.

I hop…[Read more]

Judah: Fight the one person. How would I win against an army?

Sahara Desert or Antartica?

Judah: The Sahara, I guess. I’m tired of living in a cold place.

Lauren: The Sahara. Definitely. I feel like it’d be easier to drive there and get internet connections.

Always night or always day?

Judah: I guess I’d rather live in a world where it was…[Read more]

Yeah!! His angst and awkwardness make him relatable and his humor helps him be so likable. And I love his perseverance. 🙂

Hi! Sorry for the late replies! I’m nineteen and I’ve been writing stories for about as long as I’ve been  writing words. Though, I have yet to finish a novel (I’m about a hundred pages into my WIP).

Spider-Man is definitely one of my favorite superheroes (though I like so many of them)! I love <i>Avengers: Endgame!</i>

Thank you all for havi…[Read more]

Hey, everyone! My name is Sam and I also like pizza (especially barbeque chicken), along with the other finer things in life, like good 80s music and superhero movies. I’m into sci-fi, fantasy, mysteries…basically, high-stakes stories with lovable characters, good comedy, and a dash of hope. 🙂
