Wow! It's been a while, hasn't it? Moving and starting Eighth Grade has definitely eaten away at my time, but, as the founder of our little community, it's my responsibility to bring some light and life back into this site! So without further ado...
What's your favorite genre to write? What's your favorite genre to read? Do you prefer writing/reading standalones or series?
I love to write fantasy. It was pretty much the only genre I would even look at until this year! I just really love the whimsical and creative elements that are typical in those made-up worlds.
I prefer series, although I'll read a good standalone. I just feel like series allow you to get to know the characters better, you know?
Ah, fight scenes. I'm not the greatest at writing them. I'm typically confused when watching them. But I love them with a passion for some reason and have many looming before me in the tens of thousands of words ahead. However, I'm learning how to sword fight at school. Wild, right? Before you get to thinking that I've been transported back in time, or that I attend a super prestigious and medieval private school, I'm learning this is Theater Class. (Choreographed violence/stage fights, you know?) Now, I haven't written a swordfight since learning, but I think now that I know how it'll be a little easier and—no offense, Leah—better than before. Does anybody else have fight scenes in their WIP? How would you rate your skill when it comes to writing them?
Yep, loads of them (as is usual when 'revolution' is your theme). I'm okayish at writing them. Leah, you've read them, they're... I dunno. Oh! I'll just add one to this comment so you can see for yourselves.
All at once, chaos erupted. Guards came at me just as the…
Hello everyone,
Due to creative block, the moving process, a full schedule, and lack of organization, I do not have a post for tomorrow. Sorry about the inconvenience, and I’ll have something ready for next week!
Hey everyone,
Because I've been filling out sheets for my characters—all twelve of them 🫠—I've been slowly giving them all middle names. It only seemed the natural thing to do, since me and my sisters (and dad, and most of my friends) have them. But I realized that middle names depend on culture and the decision of the parents, which leads me to my conclusion: The Larkspur siblings don't get middle names. I'm so sorry. But they don't. I physically cannot get my brain to think up seven middle names that all kind of go with the rest.
I know you probably don't care whether or not they have middle names, but I just thought I'd rant a bit—you know, procrastinate for as long as I can before forcing myself to get back to filling out the sheets of which I opened the post with.
So I guess I should leave now. 😔
I think it’s cool to add middle names to characters. Not all characters have to have middle names( or even last names) depending on how much your characters are mentioned in the story. I have some characters with middle names, such as Rachel Evelyn Woods( she belongs to another sci…
I'd love to know how I can improve this chatting area! Submit any tips on how I can make this a smoother experience.
My favorite genre(s) to write would probably fantasy or contemporary fiction(both, possibly, with a hint of romance, possibly). Fantasy because it's FANTASY, I love the different creatures, nature and scenery you can come up with, also the fantastical lifestyle of the character, hehe. Contemporary fiction because I like to write…
