@Aratrea thanks. 🙂 It definitely still needs work, but thanks.

Good point— I’ll watch out for that, definitely.
I don’t want the book ending on a completely sour note— the resolution of Harold’s arc is pretty sour, but as this is the second book of a series, I need it to end with a question that leads into the other books— and that is, sin…[Read more]

@Daeus good. 😛
Sure. Sure. I’ll believe that when I see it.

And I hope you’re right. *nods solemnly*
Ack! Now I’m starting to sound like you. Haha! XD

@Daeus eeeep! Sorry! I didn’t tag you so it isn’t my fault! 😛

Okay though, great points. Yes. You’re right. Maybe because my grasp on that is too shallow… *groans**bangs head against the wall* HAROLD HAD BETTER APPRECIATE THE MENTAL AGONY I’M GOING THROUGH FOR HIS SAKE.
Okay. *settles down* I must definitely do brainstorming on that. Oh…[Read more]

Character’s story goal is to find his place in the world. It’s a coming-of-age. Yep, a disillusionment arc coming-of-age. 😛 I didn’t do it on purpose so don’t ask me how it happened. lol
Anyway. His more tangible goal is to find the one man who was kind to him after something particularly tragic happened in his past, and he believes that wherever…[Read more]

@Ethryndal *gives you moral support and commiseration* I had to rewrite my entire WIP as well. It seemed impossible at the start, but now I’m almost done and though it still makes me want to tear my hair out sometimes it’s really not so bad. It gets better, dear. It does. We promises. 😉

@ethryndal *doesn’t laugh* There, there. It’ll be alright. We writers make sacrificeses for the world, doesn’t we, precious?

@emma-flournoy @graciegirl Let me say that again… Um…yeah. 😛 😀

@Aratrea The second experiment in living is built off the first. In the first, victory is merely defined by keeping everyone she loves safe. In the second, she has added an element of physical freedom and the overthrow of tyranny as qualifications for victory because she is convinced that the original goal of safety for those she loves will never…[Read more]

@GracieGirl 😮 !

@GracieGirl That funny, eh? Well he does sound really odd!!

@Dragon-Snapper I thought it was one or the other. (Duh.) 😉

@GracieGirl Okay. A little rushed I guess. 😀

@emma-flournoy No. I was just seconding what you said. 😛

@Dragon-Snapper Have you read him?

@emma-flournoy

Oh. My. He sounds odd.

Um…yeah.

@GracieGirl Yay! But why’d you hate the ending?! I love both in different ways.

Oh. My. He sounds odd. Is he a modern author?

And of course I read to the end. 😀

@Aratrea

This is the protagonist of a trilogy. She goes through a disillusionment arc through the first two books, then has a positive arc in the final book. I’ve done some major work on her arcs recently, but some points might still need to be straightened out.

Beginning: Protagonist starts by believing that good will always win and victory…[Read more]

Though not dramatic enough for most books, a series of teaching and reasoning can change people. Generally, I’ve found that a repetition of pounding the same point home in different ways, by different people, and being able to see the logical reasons for why I should change as well as the threat of the results if I do not change, can cause a…[Read more]
