@GracieGirl dah! I missed this and now everyone’s said everything! *heartbroken sobbing*
Well… a few villains to add to the list… (Besides Kylo Ren. Don’t start me. Really).
Chauvelin, from The Scarlet Pimpernel. Totally evil, but somehow very human, and you gotta admire his dedication even if you hate his cause. He keeps trying even though…[Read more] -

@That_Writer_Girl_99 ehhhh… there is no hard and fast rule. The nearest thing I can give you to a rule is this tip: don’t repeat impressions you’ve already made. (Something else I had to learn the hard way. ;P)
For example, don’t mention in one place that someone is confused, then mention it again later. Writing is all about change. If it hasn’t…[Read more] -

@graciegirl I have read the other books, but the first one definitely has the best story line. However, I think my favorite is the second one, just because of the pirates. 😛 And I didn’t like the third as much…the ending, *sighs* I liked Mott; besides Sage, he was my favorite character.
Oh yes. Never met anyone quite as snarky as him. 😛 -

Psalm 18:30-33
As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places. -

@dragon-snapper Yep, that was @hope alright! She’s a pretty good writer. 😉 😀

Hope Ann replied to the topic All about villains in the forum Characters 9 years, 4 months ago
@graciegirl Some of the most interesting villains (and the most dangerous) are the ones who honestly believe what they are doing is right and they are willing to sacrifice for their convictions. A villain who is off for revenge is all very well. A villain who is fighting for something he loves will be even more dedicated. Plus it is heartbreaking…[Read more]

@graciegirl Hmm…villains. *que maniacal laugh*
@corissa-maiden-of-praise Umm…didn’t @hope write the Shadows of Hersweald? 😛
Anyway, my favorite villains are the following.
Bevin Conner from the False Prince: He has a calm demeanor and is very cunning, and will do anything to get what he wants. He doesn’t like to get his hands dirty. Also,…[Read more] -
Hope Ann replied to the topic Novellas in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 9 years, 4 months ago
@dragon-snapper A novella is generally 20,000-35,000 words. Mine end up in the 30,000s, generally. 😉 You could easily get one done in a month. I wrote one in a week once… it was a bit crazy, but I got it done. And chapters depend. Mine average around 10-15.
I’ve heard it’s hard to traditionally publish a novella, but it’s pretty quick to…[Read more]

I don’t have the time right now to answer all your questions, but I will give you a quick list of some of my favorite villains, and I’ll try to think of a reason why I love each one! 😉
Ledroptha Curtain from the Mysterious Benedict Society- he’s an absolute genius who fits almost no cliche other than being power-hungry, which is simply a fact…[Read more]

Recently, I’ve had a bit of trouble getting back into the swing of writing, but then again, writing is hard. 😛
Anyway, I had a great idea today, however, the story would probably be pretty short, and I was just wondering if there was anything I should know about writing novellas? How long did it take you to write one? How many chapters? How many…[Read more] -

@daeus Hi, I know I’ve not been on in awhile but about an hour ago I shared a post and when I came back to check something it wasn’t there- it’s only showing up if I log in. Is it just processing, or did I do something wrong, or did the system goof? I did use the long tag list you made, is that messing it up or making it take extra time?
-
Oh, yeah, it does that. That number of tags will mark your post as spam. I’ll go fix that.
-
Hmm, it’s already showing up for me. Are you able to see it?
-
Okay, looks like it’s showing up now. It might have been something goofy with my computer, or it may have just taken a little longer. Thanks for checking into it!
