Nice. And lucky. I have to scare the lizards out of my house myself with a broom. Sometimes I end them with a chappal (sandal).
What did spiders ever do to people? They're nature's pest control. The majority are non-venomous, and usually mind their own business near the ceiling. If it's brightly colored, I'm gonna suspect it's dangerous. Otherwise, the spider can chill as long as it wants. Spiders are okay in my book. Ho…
Yeah, it's not the most accurate thing. Just fun. But your idea on asking other people is good.
Thanks for posting this, man. It looks really useful.
They really destroyed the movie though. I mean, Rachel Weisz as Saphira was a great choice, as was Jeremy Irons as Brom. The rest of the movie... just did not work.
I once read some author saying he/she doesn't mind fanfiction, but doesn't encourage it. Because if people really want to be good writers, they should cultivate the ability to create their own worlds and characters and not just use other peoples' work. That made sense to me. It's easier writing fanf…
Fan fiction can get really messed up sometimes. If you watch Supernatural, they made a few episodes about (breaking the fourth wall) fan fictions about them where Dean and Sam are a couple. They are brothers, and fan fiction writers made them a couple. It's based on a real thing. Creeped me out so m…
Yeah, the incest thing was weird for me too. Was it really necessary? Were the readers supposed to root for it? It was just weird.
I have two accounts on Wattpad. I posted the same question on the forums there, and most people were fine with having multiple accounts. My thought process is, I wasn't using two accounts to benefit in any way. I didn't use one account to vote for work from another account. I didn't publicize or any…
I'm just gonna go first. Jane Austen, Lemony Snicket, Lloyd Alexander, Isabel Allende, Tamora Pierce.. and honestly so many others. The Elements of Style. The Harry Potter Series. The Series of Unfortunate Events. The Bell Jar. Agatha Christie. I've consistently gotten Agatha Christie in most …
There are enough threads to promote our novels. So I wanted to ask the following questions. Who are the authors that are your writing inspiration and most influence your writing? What books would you recommend to people wanting to be good writers? (It can be books on writing like The Elements o…
I feel unintentionally evil right now. I didn't realize she would be hard to draw.
My work is a novel. My character is Cal Serrano, a police officer with a hidden past, a cynical view of life, and superhuman senses. She's a rookie police officer working in the fictional Briar City. I'm just going to list her physical attributes. Height: Average (5'6") Skin Color: Light to mediu…
I like your titles. I understand what people are saying though. The titles sound a bit like they've been translated into English. I'm not that great at titles. I sometimes use the writer's worst tool... Alliteration.
Same, I just thought I'd give drawing a shot. I'm okay at drawing things that I see in front of me. I dug out an old Wacom tablet my dad bought me ten years ago and tried it. Awful. So bad. Never again (at least, not any time soon). I realized that drawing from imagination is way harder, and digital…
I just choose nice-sounding names. Sydney Robbin is a pen name. I basically wanted an American name that sounded nice, and was available on most social media. I hate usernames with numbers or symbols. And in the future, if this writing thing ever amounts to anything.. this is a legit name. I have…
This has a very Aesop's Fables meets the darkness vibe to it. 
sorry, missed reading the part about you being limited to your phone.
i don't quite understand what you mean. you can get royalty free images at a lot of websites. and then edit them into a cover with whatever program you like.
Is that your favorite song from the album? Mine has to be The Man. I think it resonates with me.
I'm sort of hesitant to use Canva after they had that data breach. That's why I switched to GIMP (and the Youtube tutorials that I need to use it).
I remember having this issue a couple of times where I would click on the thumbnail for one novel and be directed to another. I assumed it was just my crappy internet connection, but perhaps not. Of course, Tapas seems to be an up-and-coming writing website so I don't mind the small glitches.
Not dissing your current cover, but the digital painting is absolutely beautiful. It's got this avant garde but very soft, feminine feel to it. I love it.
Hey everyone. I'm wondering, where do you guys get your covers? Just use this thread to discuss whatever thoughts you have on the covers on Tapas. I know a lot are very comic-style covers. What are you takes on that? I'm here, new from Wattpad, and I want to make covers more suitable for Tapas.…
If you like urban fantasy, you might like my story. If you have the time, please check it out. I love suggestions, constructive criticism, etc.
Hey guys. I've written a fantasy that plays around with the Snow White fairy tale. Updates every Thursday (and sometimes in between).
Updating every Thursday. A fantasy playing on the fairytale Snow White.
I don't think I can avoid it completely, but I try to write characters (especially main characters) as being having different personalities. It would be easy to write characters that are like myself. In order to tell good and diverse stories, I'll need to tell stories from perspectives of all differ…
Don't knock it till you try it. The lyrics are actually beautiful. It's from a south Indian movie, and it was shot mainly in my home town.
I only post on Wattpad and Tapas. I have an account on Inkitt, but there doesn't seem to be much of a community on Inkitt.
