*nods firmly, smothers chuckle* Very sound advice @Daeus.

*grabs maxim, slams inky stamp on it so hard knocks inkwell off table* Writing guru approved. *huge grin*
Honestly I can’t find a single problem with that. I might even make the ratio even more unbalanced in favor of reaction. 99.9 percent of action is reaction, after all. You need one teensy piece of action to start the whole chain going, and…[Read more] -

I love the names!
They got pretty much everything, but I wanted to ask… you said this is inspired by Pangea. (And yes, I know what Pangea is. 😉 ) Is it supposed to take place in that time-period?? If so, it is waaaaaaaaaaay too modern to get that across.

Kate look, you really gotta dip those fingers in water every now and again or they’ll catch fire. Friction, ya know? Science stuff???
@Daeus hahahaha… that’s actually a family joke. Mom likes to say ‘if anyone comes in here and smells smoke, don’t be alarmed— it’s just Kate’s keyboard.’ 😉
But you’ll be glad to hear my fingers thus far a…[Read more]

Hey, this is a good question @overcomer. I agree with Daeus— it needs to enhance the theme someway, but I also think it’s fine to have it there just as a story element and not overtly illustrating the theme. Don’t get me wrong— all story elements play into the theme somehow, but some are more obvious than others. 😉
Let me give you an example.…[Read more] -

That is important to remember, @bluejay . Everybody is different, which is something I need to remind myself when it comes to romance because not every guy is going to be charmingly eloquent about his feelings. (Sometimes my writing can be too poetic …)
Some say so much more by saying hardly anything at all, and still others speak for…[Read more]

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic W.I.P. Lounge Club (Writers Only!) in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 5 months ago
That’s a good point, @daeus . I agree with you there.
I have one story idea for a romance, and I’ve got characters, some dialogue, plot twists, even a portion of the ending figured out, but the theme is missing. Why does it all happen? What is the inciting event that reveals the heart of my story, the “big Why” that gives purpose to all of…[Read more]

@bluejay, It was just right next to a window on the floor. Natural lighting generally works the best. 😉
