I love cryptids! And I love your art of them

Nice!

B R U H

that’s freakin amazing

you have so much patience

oh lol

you need like a shrink mod to go with it haha

i don’t even have the patience to make anything with full size blocks

dang, that’s pretty cool

my guess is that schoology is your default application for opening .odt files and that's why it showed up

we hatched 8 and bought 12. Sadly, one of them died this morning, but the rest seem to be healthy and hopefully they stay that way

Oh yeah? How’s that going?

What’s your goal with it? What do you want the audience’s reaction to be?

Okay

What do you want the audience to *feel* at the end of the scene? Do you want more of a “thank *goodness* this character survived” or more of a “if this character died, i would have rioted!” or something else? just at the end of the scene

I see

I would suggest trying different things and see which one you like better

ohhhhh sorry i misunderstood

nice

it’s a good thing you know what’s happening, lol

i recently started a new story that I planned out most of but was struggling with the beginning

i’m just kind of writing different situations and seeing which one i like the best, keeping in mind what happens later

sure!

just like old times

has it really been that long? my, how the time rushes by... lol

the sad thing is, i think i’ll have to cut a lot of what i wrote

i realized that there’s a plothole if i keep it in

oof

that’s what editing is for

my issue is that i had a character freak out about something that she really shouldn’t have freaked out about because halfway through the sprint i realized that the situation couldn’t be completely unheard of otherwise it wouldn’t make any sense with how she reacts to another similar situation later on

oh yeah, i agree with that, I didn’t mean that you should edit as you write, i was trying to imply that you shouldn’t worry because you can edit later

the issue with this character is that there was too much fear

same, actually

procuring?

idk

whip out?

ohhhh

expand?

detracting?

i love this so much

dude that’s so good

There is nothing more frustrating than being all keyed down to write, with motivation and a plan only for the internet to keep cutting out and you’re unable to write because it’s on google drive -_-

I finished the first chapter of a new story I'm working on if anyone wants to read it

thanks!

that's my favorite line

Sorry, I’m back, had to change my chicks’ water

nah, you’re good. They’re adorable. I’ll post pics in <#801170143849742396> later

But thanks for all the feedback

I’m trying to find a good balance with Meredith and Dylan’s relationship, I don’t want Meredith to be too trusting, but I want her to want to get to know Dylan better even though she knows he’s obviously hiding something

I don’t have time to sprint, but I wish y’all luck!

Hmm... maybe I could make Meredith embody the “keep your friends close but your enemies closer” rather than being so outright trusting of Dylan

Ooo I like that

I guess... I want it to come across that Dylan isn’t outright *lying* to Meredith, but he’s withholding information from her. I want Meredith to realize it but not get too annoyed at him because they literally just met and she doesn’t like telling strangers her whole life’s story either

Urg... the beginning is so hard

the plot moves easier once they’re friends

What do you mean by that? That Dylan is too clueless, or he needs to be more clueless?

thanks! I wanted to put a spin on “person from our world gets trapped in another world” except the person has been there for awhile and he’s not even the main protagonist

although i do realize it’s a little confusing how long he’s been there given his dialogue

Okay, I see what you’re saying

He probably does have ADHD, to be honest

Ohhhh that’s awkward

Don’t mind me, putting up the shame curtains

Yours was the one with the werewolves, right? I read it this morning

Lol, it just seemed like the shortest way to describe it. I guess I could have mentioned the color dark red

Oh, it’s been 15 minutes. I guess I could have joined the sprint, lol

I enjoyed your story a lot. It was more difficult to read on Discord because the formatting goes wonky, and there was a lot of repetition, but I’m enjoying the story

I would (heh heh, see what i did there?) not worry about word choice at this stage of writing, focus on the story

A little repetition is good, but towards the end it was getting distracting

The end of the MC’s POV

Just all the dark red and caverns

Before Agatha’s, I mean

Okay, my internet is weird so I apologize in advance for any chats that seem out of order

Ohhhhh I didn’t even see this version, I only read the copy and pasted one

Lol that’s how I wrote Dylan. He’s very similar to me, and Meredith is like the complete opposite

I should say she’s more of a complement than an opposite. A lot of her strengths are things I want to get better at and a lot of her weaknesses are things I already do well. But there are also a lot of times when our strengths and weaknesses overlap

Ayyyy

I love writing complementing characters, most of my stories have them

I’ve spent a lot of time trying to understand how different people think and process the world and it has really helped me a lot in life and in writing
