    hello- Teen beginner fantasy author here

    I still need to actually watch Samurai Jack. I didn't pay much attention to it when it was airing. But Avatar: The Last Airbender/The Legend Of Aang? Soooo many great writing lessons involved there. World building? Perfect Character development? Beautiful Pacing? (I haven't actually...

    One can only hope to be a trend setter. :D

    Do you ever just wanna, hang out with your characters?

    My villains... Some wouldn't even give me the time of day once they learned enough about the situation and who I am. Some might use me or try to figure out how to become like me (able to create life). Others might seek shelter and healing, begging for change and forgiveness. And some would be...

    Even the villains? :3

    hello- Teen beginner fantasy author here

    Frozen 2 also gave Avatar vibes. XD I was so excited when it came out because I thought, "this is perfect! If people like this movie a lot, then the atmosphere will be ripe for my book series!" but here I am, still editing and revising~ Ahaaaa I'd say yours is more Avatar meets the mystery...

    hello- Teen beginner fantasy author here

    *gasp!* We're twinsies! Though my protagonist is 14/15. Stooooopppp!!! We're twinsieessss! Though my protag controls water/ice, earth, lightning, *a spoiler*, and lava. Originally I had her also able to control wind, but never had her use it so now she doesn't get it at all, hmph! I both love...

    Dense Prose or Rich Prose?

    I must be confused again. I loooove the prose you shared here, but I wouldn't consider it...fast paced? Just full of rich vocab and detail with clever structure. In college, I remember a writing group that harped on a guy that wrote his creative nonfiction like this, "Your sentences are too long...

    Is it strange to have a dragon species (humanoid) be romantic?

    I can't imagine why it should be strange. I'm sure it's a common thing in DnD campaigns with "Dragon-Born" species. If you feel tied to a "strong/wise/powerful" stereotype, consider where those fit in romance tropes. Everyone is capable of a romantic side. Even...Klingons, Vulcans, and Elves...

    AI, assistance, how much is too much

    To note: I was once lectured that AI and grammar/spelling checkers are not the same things. Granted, that may have changed since that conversation. If you're just using a spelling checker, then you shouldn't even need to mention it. It's just a streamlined look into a dictionary for help. Be...

    Star Trek Ramblings

    Popping in to say My favorite characters are Spock (Original. I'm not a fan of how they are writing Ethan Peck's version) Data Picard Worf (Okay, hold on. I think TNG was just my favorite series.) Odo Garak (I think you mentioned him earlier and my mom and I loved him. </3) Saru (although I...

    AI, assistance, how much is too much

    Finding a writing group will also benefit you beyond helping with spelling and grammar. ;) Aside from beta readers, a critique partner is someone who stays by your side through multiple phases of the writing journey and can help with all sorts of things along the way, so long as you offer your...

    AI, assistance, how much is too much

    I'm curious why no one is mentioning beta readers or editors. AI is basically a bad version of those. Editors you do have to pay for, but many beta readers are just readers looking to help writers out for free. I upgraded my services to a paid platform because I realized the intensity of my...

    Elf and Asia Culture

    This is the first I heard of elves being connected to Asia, actually! I wouldn't think it, since they seem to be stereotypically tall and white from my perspective. However, long hair, flowy robes, and calm, peaceful culture most interested in beauty and etiquette do connect to historical China...

    I found a silly way to use ChatGPT (In an inconsequential way)

    All prompts are equal in my eyes. :/ Or rather, the small, quick prompts add up too quickly to be waved off as fine for me. Granted, I'm also the kind of person that will forgo using plastic straws if I can. 🤷‍♀️

    I continue to avoid using any more AI until ethics and environmental protections can be implemented around it. 😅🙃
