@dragon-snapper, @julia-r, I have to go know. I mostly worked on character arcs. (and thanks for the name suggestions dragon-snapper) I found two good articles that you might want to check out:
http://characterchange.com/9-stages-of-a-compelling-character-arc/ and http://characterchange.com/9-fundamental-fears-that-motivate-your-characters/
How did you do? 🙂September 13, 2016 at 8:46 pm #17281September 13, 2016 at 8:46 pm #17282I was only 500 words into my book, but made it to 1,305 in a half-hour. I’m kinda figuring out my story as it goes. I had to run some boxes to the basement for my Mom, which took about 7 minutes. 🙂 I’m just establishing my story, too.
September 13, 2016 at 8:47 pm #17283Ha, I am so bad at tagging, @dragon-snapper, @jess. I can’t really figure out chapters yet, what with this being my very first novel.
September 13, 2016 at 8:51 pm #17285I remember with my first story I didn’t chapter it at first either, but you’re still getting used to the ropes and stuff! Have fun!
Speaking of which, I’ve got to go now. Hope you understand the writer’s corner better now! @Julia-r☀ ☀ ☀ ENFP ☀ ☀ ☀
September 13, 2016 at 8:54 pm #17286@julia-r, Don’t worry to much about where to start and end chapters. They nearly always vary in length from author to author. Stop when it feels like a break. I find that about 4000 works for me. What’s your story about?
September 13, 2016 at 8:55 pm #172874000 words, that is
September 13, 2016 at 9:05 pm #17293@jess- it’s kind of a cross between Beauty and the Beast, the Frog Prince, and my own story. It’s kind of complicated.
September 13, 2016 at 9:09 pm #17294That’s great, @Julia-r! Complicated can be cool. 😛

I’ve haven’t done any writing in a few weeks and I’m experiencing withdrawals, so here goes!

September 15, 2016 at 3:10 am #17364@clairec Got to go now. I’ve been editing my story, “The Golden Conch”. I’d love to write some more tonight. Will you be available?
(@sarah-h that goes for you too) 🙂September 15, 2016 at 3:12 am #17365 -
