      @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? 🙂

        @jess @Julia-r
        Yay, Character arcs! Thanks for the links!
        I wrote 1056 words in that time, and I reached chapter 19. How about you @Julia-r?

          I 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.

            Ha, 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.

              I 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

                @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?

                  4000 words, that is

                    @jess- it’s kind of a cross between Beauty and the Beast, the Frog Prince, and my own story. It’s kind of complicated.

                      That’s great, @Julia-r! Complicated can be cool. 😛

                        Complicated is definitely cool, @julia-r and @jess . 🙂

                          @Clairec or @sarah-h Are either of you two available for some writing, say for 20 minutes?

                            @bluejay, Yes! *glances around* *waves at old friend* Feels like I’ve been away from the Writers’ corner for, well, forever! I’ve haven’t done any writing in a few weeks and I’m experiencing withdrawals, so here goes!

                              *waves back and then bolts forward to give you a hug* My tea is at 5pm, so it will be 15-20 mins. @clairec

                                  @bluejay, okay, bye! I’m not sure if I’ll be free, but I’ll let you know if I’m on and writing.
                                  Enjoy your dinner! 🙂
