Yes that’s it. Well, I got 752 words. How’d you go?

@hannah-c What do you dial when you want the fire brigade?

Santa Clause gets a couple votes every year. It would be a huge constitutional crisis if he ever won.

I think I just discovered who I’m going to vote for.

In all seriousness though, I honestly don’t know. If there’s a reasonably 3rd party candidate, I’ll likely vote for them. Or I might write in someone like Ted Cruz. I’ve one friend who said…[Read more]

@reaganramm That’s hard…characterization, perhaps. Tips on how to create real unique characters, both in depth ones for MCs and also flatter ones for secondary and minor characters.

Yippee! I’ll be going to 9. @hannah-c

I’m starting ten minute early so tag me if you can join me now. 🙂 @daeus @kate-flournoy @hannah-c

@reaganramm Ooo, that’s so hard! I would probably choose a course on characterization, plotting, world-building, or showing vs. telling.

Dialog for definite. 🙂 My conversations never sound that real. *They sound more like they are in a book rather than really life* 😀

Urgh… yikes, that’s a difficult question. Probably characterization— I don’t struggle with that, but it’s one of those things I feel like I can never study enough of or understand as fully as I should. There’s just so much to learn!
Um… other than that… let’s see… novel structure? Character arcs? (Or would that be in with…[Read more]

597. @daeus Not bad, but not great. Feeling pretty down *sick* today, so my brain and fingers where much slower than normal.

@daeus I’m here. Talk at nine. 🙂

@Christi-Eaton Hahaha, that’s hilarious!

@ingridrd Well, they don’t always have to be cliffhangers. I’ve notice with trilogies that, quite often, the first book ends fairly well. You know there is more to come, but it ends with the main point concluded. The second book ends in a cliffhanger and the third book completes it.

@Christi-Eaton That sounds like a neat experience! Whose campaigns have you helped with? Just curious, have you ever heard of TeenPact? Generation Joshua sounds a lot like TeenPact.

Hahaha @spradlin I totally didn’t mind. 😀
There’s not much to build on this, actually— it’s a fact, not a technique, so it can’t really be discussed. 😛

And what exactly does your ‘weak’ analogy mean? I’m not quite sure I get it…

@Christi-Eaton No, I’ve never heard of it. What’s Generation Joshua?

@the-happy-bookaholic I’m kind of glad that I can’t vote for anyone, since I’m not old enough yet. Right now, I honestly don’t know who I’d vote for: Hillary, who’s clearly been caught in lies before, or Trump, who, if we’re all honest, doesn’t have a clue what being a president entails and would be horrible at foreign relations and could…[Read more]

Endings are always the hardest for me to write. Not necessarily picking where to end something, but the last paragraph…the last line, that’s hard. Any tips, everyone? Anyone?
