Hi Laura! Welcome aboard! I am also new too. I recently joined near the beginning of November.

I am working on a rather large project a story that will cover dystopian, Sci-fi, and epic fantasy.

I am trying to learn poetry to use in my story. If you have any resources you would recommend to check out, I would appreciate it. I…[Read more]

Your character is awesome too. I see a lot of similarities with both of our princesses.  Especially with genuine kindness, definitely if you don’t make her mad. XD Mine sees everyone as her family and has a hard time rising up to her actual place of leadership over them as she grows…[Read more]

Nice! I have a lot of regions to cover, perhaps too many lol I have a lot of races and intelligent (like Narnia) who have their ways of living and rules. My challenge right now is dividing them up to a region that best suits them. There will be regions that have one dominant race and some minor groups and others will be almost equal…[Read more]

I am honestly not sure what mine be yet till I figure what the cultures are like. For most there will be festival by the whole settlement as big party of singing, music, dancing, feasting, telling stories, sports, challenges of strength and skill, and putting plays or some sort of show. The cultures will most likely have some sort of…[Read more]

I believe it is commonly found as a custom in the middle east.

@emma-walker

Sorry I misread that, I connected the idea to something I read about some certain group of people I think in Africa or Asia who have a similar practice. To me it kinda seems like slavery.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions I can do more with this world mechanic. In my story, I plan to have my world full of crystals for many resource uses. The most important one is a radioactive power crystal that makes up the planet’s core. It will form into crystal formations in caverns near the surface, connected to growing…[Read more]

I think a series is always a good option to go for. Even though I am writing my first book, I can guarantee it will turn into a series. I don’t like the idea of having to create a whole new world setting for each book idea when I already have something already laid for foundations.

@emma-walker

If you want to make slavery a big issue of your story, then this is not a bad idea even though it is a horrible aspect of the world. I plan to make slavery a scourge in my world. There will be roaming bandit armies pillaging and enslaving the unprotected lands. My story will start out with my MC preparing with his soldiers to put…[Read more]

All I can say is wow! I never saw or expected it to be interpreted like this. I apologize for the possible confusion as I clearly did not explain some vital points further as I was hoping to make a shorter summary of this. Plus, I was kind of a hurry when I wrote it. Hopefully I can clarify…[Read more]

@emma-walker

Do you think that is too much or would that make a good villain who seems always one step ahead and impossible to beat?

Just thought I tag you and hope to hear your thought on this.

He is a real heartless villain with zero humanity. He will seem like the kindest person you ever met but that kindness will turn bone chilling cold like death itself if it had physical body. He is forever lost in his sickening crusade for revenge and the ravenous hunger for power to make his mission come true. He is most likely going…[Read more]

That’s awesome! I need to work on becoming better at singing because I could sing all day long. I first need to work on my music theory, kinda rusty.

The Acer Predators, Asus Rogs, and MSI in general are all good, powerful options. Like most laptops, they only allow upgrading the ram and hdd/sdd. Sadly, those graphic a…[Read more]

1) Name: I think people would probably refer to the guy as Him, but I guess he has some sort of name. Chrynak Soulun.

I actaully have not decided on a name yet but that’s not a bad idea.

2) Age: Teens or early twenties. I never know the exact.

He was in his twenties. In the current story, he is hundreds of years old.

I know what you mean and you are absolutely right, everyone deals with grief differently. Here are some good examples of behaviors of mourning that I can relate to some of these. I lost 7 family friends in the past 2 years, and I grieved differently for each of them.

1. Balling your eyes out

2. Silence and isolation, trying to remember…[Read more]

I am a firm believer of succeeding without degrees. I have gotten a lot of offers on linkedin from recruiters but not the kind I want because those feel you have to have a paper proving you know something. I also after I get my story started, my skills with graphic design, and web development established, I will work on…[Read more]
