Introducing Agau Laboratories, the world’s best funded lab in the year 2050

By that time, global warming has escalated to near-disastrous levels. More than half of the species in the ocean have been eradicated, and the ice caps on both poles are dangerously diminished.

Despite the warning signs and the growing community of scientists calling for change, humanity has progressed as it always has: with more technology and less awareness. 

At the head of that community of scientists is Dr. Barbara Agau. She proposed her idea, named the Spark Of Life Experimental Project, or SOLE Project for short, in 2020. The name was fitting, since Dr. Agau wanted to both preserve the spark of life on our Earth, and discover it.

Dr. Agau’s idea was a radical one. Though genetic modifications are common practice in modern medicine, she wanted to design and create a human from scratch. More than that–she wanted to design and create the world’s first superhuman from scratch.

The science indicating that a hydrokinetic is possible is brilliant and innovative, and captures the world’s attention. Moral and ethical debates rage, but one fact prevails: climate change will induce an apocalypse if dramatic action is not taken soon. Agau Laboratories is funded and operating within a decade, but Agau’s name is a passing mention until 2033.

That’s when she announces the success of the SOLE Project: a beautiful baby girl with blue eyes and blonde hair. She is referred to as “Experiment One” to keep her anonymous, because things cannot progress until the child is 18 years old. This will happen in 2051, and it is that year that Dr. Agau plans to go global.

Of course, the hydrokinetic herself might have something to say about it at that point.

This moodboard has been made in celebration of @my-words-are-light commissioning the incredibly talented @danielscholes on my behalf! Daniel worked with me to create an amazing logo for Agau Laboratories, and it’s a safe bet that I will be using this, and variations of it, in MANY future works.

Writing Advice | My WiP | Twitter

Hello, Writeblr friends! This post has been sitting half-finished in my drafts for a while but I was recently asked by @ageofwriters if I had an outlining advice post out so I figured if the people want it, they can have it! You all know I’m a big believer in outlining so the easiest way to give you advice is to show you how I do it. 

This is what the first page of my outline always looks like:

The major and minor themes are one thing a lot of outlines seem to skip out on but I feel they’re extremely important. What is your story trying to teach? What message is it going to convey? For example, in my current WIP, the major themes are Overcoming Adversity and Knowing Your Worth. The minors are Equality, Questioning Authority and Friendship. Knowing this will help keep your story on track. Unsure where to go in the next chapter? Build on the idea of your major themes.

And once you’ve got the basics down, you can move on to the chapter-by-chapter breakdown:

Each chapter deserves its own bit of the outline. You can see that the major and minor themes carries over into the chapters for me, but the most exciting bit is always the full breakdown. If you’re writing a big cast I also recommend adding “Big Players” to just list the characters that have the most amount of page time each chapter so you can see if any aren’t getting enough attention. If one of your characters barely shows up at all, consider why they exist in the first place and maybe do some tweaking.

***Also remember that none of this has to be done in any order.*** I pretty much always write the plot synopsis at the very end of the outlining process. It’s whatever works best for you. 

so this was an idea i had for a while but @infinitelyblankpage and @calliopestablet motivated me to do - basically this is going to be a little fun opportunity for everyone to exercise their creativity, especially before everyone starts nano in november. I know there’s probably lots of other prompt ideas already out there, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to add one more - Jot-Ober!!

the prompts:

we will be using the official inktober prompts. these are a word a day, and they can be found here, scroll to the bottom of the page.

the writing: 

the idea of inktober is that each day you create something based on the prompt. in our case, you can write however much you want and however often you want on a topic somehow related to/containing the prompt word. however, try not to just cut and paste from things you’ve already written - even if every day you only have the time to write just one sentence. 

share it! 

post your writing with the tag #jotober2018. track the tag, so you can see other peoples’ writing, too! and of course, you can also tag it with the official inktober tags #inktober and #inktober2018!

that’s it! hopefully everyone will have a ton of fun creating things, and i’m excited to see what everyone creates!!

I’m a writblr that has a paper due for my English comp 2 class and I need to get some writblrs to answer a few questions for research. I know not many people are going to see this post but I’m hoping that some will and help a student out. So yeah … here’s the link, have fun, answer honestly please, and yeah … bye

Hello! My name is Carrie Noelle. I am an aspiring editor. I need to start building a portfolio so that I can hopefully one day get a job. To all writers, both fanfiction and original, I am offering my copy editing and content editing services for free. I need to get my name out there and build up a reputation so my portfolio is credible and I can begin paid freelance work. If you have a work in progress (or finished) that needs editing, please DM me so that I can send you my email. My Instagram is @gypsyandthebookdragon (which is also my booklr if you want to follow me there as well). I am also on Archive of Our Own and Wattpad (@Carrie_Noelle)

Please remember that, if you send me something, I am working and going to school so some things make take time for me to edit completely, but I will do my best to get your edited worked back to you as quickly as possible.  

Also, to other editors out there, if you have any advice for me, I would greatly appreciate dropping in my messages. 

so like, my wip has a football player in it. i know nothing about football. i made him a running back because they’re the ones who get to run to the endzone i think? i watched friday night lights once. 

ANYWAY PLEASE HELP i would really like to be shown some examples of good football action/watching prose. alternatively, please just explain in laymans terms what i have gotten myself into.

- Thomas Daniel Wood - 17 - Senior - ESFP -

Tommy reads like a typical bad boy stereotype, which would be fine if he got the bit in the stereotype where he loved every minute of his rebellion. But he doesn’t. That’s the problem.

Plagued with alcoholism and underperforming in the football team he used to be the star of, Tommy knows he’s fighting a war within himself and losing. With no parents, a brother who works overtime to support him and a now ex girlfriend, there’s not a person in the world who seems willing to help him. Well, until Scarlett.

Now he has to decide if who he is right now is the same person he is deep down, and if either of them are who he wants to be.

Safe to say, shit’s about to get mental.
