Hello Cobb it's always good to hear from someone who isn't writing [emoji2] though if you wanted a go this place is full of advice and a friendly ear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ascanius you make some great points there that are worth jotting down as reference when even deciding to put marriage, bonding, hand fasting and whatever else there is out there, into a story. It has to have purpose to the storyline not just what words are said. A fade out is handy there, is the...

Hello, you sound pretty scary with all those dangerous hobbies [emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's not that the characters run wild and don't do what you want. It's sometimes the story goes a different way than you first thought. Giving your characters life means different things to different people. They may have another way to get to the end goal. A relationship may develop in a...
