The Fledgling Artist

@the-fledgling-artist

Yup. Still in the early stages. (I haven’t gotten much writing done, with the holidays and all) Have you made any fun progress with your WIP?

Merry Christmas!!

My Christmas Prayer
All the lights are hung, twinkling
Like a million stars glittering all over the walls
By the window the tree is shining
Crowned with a…[Read more]

Oh, wow! I keep forgetting about this. I am a bad thread-up-keeper . . . if there is such a word. . .

Anyway, this week’s is rather short. Just something I started singing to…[Read more]

@mischievous-thwapling, I can see why it would be frustrating/annoying to have your story misinterpreted like this, but in a sense, that’s a big part of the fun of being a writer who actually has readers. Once your story is out there in the world, it’s not entirely yours anymore–suddenly you’re sharing it with loads of people you’ve never met,…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist

Nice! What do you like to paint?

so usually when I get them out it’s more for the therapeutic feeling of making a mess

Next time my sister nags me about cleaning our room I’m just going to be like, “this is my therapeutic mess. Don’t you feel calmed?” XD

Thanks! And fine haha not level zero tech skills , but definitely v…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist

I think music is absolutely wonderful. And I’m far from a musician myself, but I love screwing around on the piano. More often though, I listen to people who can actually sing/play haha. 😛

Do you play an instrument?

@mischievous-thwapling

Yes, thank goodness. At least for most of my classes. Hard to get out of everything…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist

Same! And since I’m involved in a lot of threads on SE, I always feel guilty if I reply to one but not the other, so I’m always planning out a good time when I have time to respond to ALL of them XD

Ooooh, sounds exactly like the kinda book I would read! No, you didn’t ask it already XD Hmmm, I suppose mine’s some sorta…[Read more]

@lonathecat

I know you weren’t talking to me, but can I just say: THAT IS AMAZING!! I love your style so much.

@the-fledgling-artist (I’ll try to keep this short since so many people are already talking to you XD)

WE DO!! So much in common…

Lol, I get that.  I make up annoying fragments as I go, too, so I have to patch it together, which…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist @zee @josiah

Wow, every single one of those suggestions is SUPER helpful.  Thank you guys so much!  And that’s very true about readers shipping characters whether you meant them to or not.  I’ve heard people put the strangest couples together from books I love, even if the author couldn’t have made it clearer that he or sh…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist

Yayyyy I finally got it upload. XD (My tech skills are about level zero.)

So, this is in charcoal which is why it’s super smudgy haha. Anyways, the guy on the left is an OC of mine named Offo, who is an elderly alchemist and loves gardening. The guy on the right is just some Irish-inspired warrior guy.

@the-fledgling-artist

Exactly! The more I learn, the more I realize I still need to learn a whole lot more 😛 And thank you! Actually, most of it is in my head rather than paper (or google docs, ha ha) so it’s easy to come up with a lot by randomly coming up with ideas. But I would think comics would take longer bc you have to not only come up…[Read more]

I don’t really know anything about your story, but just off the top of my head, some possible solutions might be–make them all siblings (or like @the-fledgling-artist suggested, cousins could work too, in some cultures.) Or you could make all three characters guys. Or girls. Unless having them be different genders is vital to the story. Good luck!

@the-fledgling-artist

Heyyyyyy looks like I’m a little late to the party haha. But anyways, welcome back to SE!

Also, just from seeing your profile picture, and the drawing you put on this thread, that WOW. I sketch on paper all the time but digital?  I’ve tried but it kinda ends up looking like what my 2nd grade cousin would draw. I’ll stick…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist

This is how I know you’re sincere. If you’re offering to hear a rant on a book a writer’s working on, you’re truly amazing.

Umm, if I’m honest, these words can sum up my WIP the best: It’s everywhere.  I’m still figuring out some world building, plot structure type-stuff, and developing characters. I’ll be honest though:…[Read more]
