@graciegirl Just checking..are you still there?

@kina-lamb @daeus @kate-flournoy @Jason @his-instrument @graciegirl @ethryndal @winter-rose @anyone else who sees this
Back again, yes. Asking for help….hesitantly I have come. But really, I never can decide whether I want to write from third person or first, so I need some dares in first person and others in third person to see if that’ll help…[Read more]

@winter-rose Glad you could join for a bit!

1. Lathen: A Volandum healer and follower of the Prince. His EiL is that it is man’s relationship with the Prince that defines his worth, not a name or power or blood or anything else. He helps tend Ethaniel toward the end of the book, as Ethaniel working on consolidating his own recent revelation that any kind of name is meaningless without the…[Read more]

@r-j-wordsmith Awesome! The villain finally understood how to do things right here. *applauds*

@daeus Nice count! I copied down 4 pages worth of transitional phrases (because I really should use more of those) and logged all my characters.
@winter-rose @ethryndal @r-j-Anderson @northerner @graciegirl @Audrey-caylin @overcomer @jess @aella I’m still going.

@naomijackson Never to late to make goals. This topic has just begun. 😛
BTW, welcome to the forum!

@kate-flournoy Gair IS NOT a minor character. Don’t you dare cut his role in any way.

I’m going to go with Jagger in Fidelyon. He’s the… well, the side-kick, I guess (don’t tell him I said that; he’d not forgive me).

Anyway, he’d follow the first type, because his arc mirrors Ethaniel’s. While Ethaniel starts with not having a name, Jagger actually has a disgraced name. But while Ethaniel places importance in gaining a name and…[Read more]

Heroship? That sounds perfect, thanks for your help, @aratrea ! Now I just have to pick one … this is gonna be hard … most all of them have strong connections to my story, and I like them all. I might wind up writing them on slips of paper and putting them in a hat. 😉

Complacency, Dealing with Expectations, and Heroship are definitely…[Read more]

@aratrea

One fun way of connecting major characters is to give them the same goal, but different EiLs so that they are in constant tension about how to do something or what is the best way to get something done. They could be friends or they could be antagonists, but either way one can get quite a bit thematic depth between the interaction of…[Read more]

@daeus I’m here!

Did you have anything to add on the descriptions, @Daeus?

@sierra-r wow, that’s great!!! Half of Luke, that’s a treasure.

During the summer, for the Bible Bee, each category Primary (age 7-10,) Junior (age 11-14) and Senior (age 15-18) memorize about 100 verses and study their discovery journal. At the end of the summer they all take a test and the top 120 to qualify for each category move up to the…[Read more]

@Ethryndal You totally deserve the free advertising.

Cassian. For sure. But Jyn and K2 close behind. (Don’t you love Cassian and K2’s relationship? It’s not specifically shown a ton, but it’s clearly observable and it’s sweet! I ‘specially love that part after they killed all those guys in the square or whatever, and K2 apologized for hitting…[Read more]

@I-J-Anderson That is incredible.

@Ethryndal *appreciates Galen Erso with you and heartily agrees with everything you said*

And guys, you need to see this picture she drew of Rogue One. It’s amazing.
I don’t think I can link to the picture by itself, so scroll down on the link till you come to it.

Btw @Ethryndal, was K2 your favorite? 😉

@R-J-Wordsmith I LOVE THIS. 😮 All of it! It’s hilarious and riddled with twisted cliches. Only ‘corrective’ things to say—here.

“Your Majesty” I said, panting for breath—there should be a comma after the spoken line

“My loyal subject.” He boomed.—same here—comma, not period

“Arise sir Ootchacha—should ‘sir’ be capitaliz…

Okay, @Northerner, first of all, we need to talk about the theme and the incredible use of symbolism. At first I thought it was going to be a fairly normal story about an atheist and a Catholic who challenged each other to a duel and it was eventually going to end up one converting the other (no prizes for guessing who. 😉 ) and then with them…[Read more]
