Falls my favorite season as well. I love the weather, but its not cold enough to have to wear poofy coats that makes my hair staticky and then it flies everywhere. 🙂
Ooh, I like that idea! Maybe we should make an Awesome Winter Writing Club for those who want to make goals for finishing their books as well.

Whenever I plot a story, I first make a 3 point disaster structure. 1. Beginning–what causes the story to start 2. Middle–the major turning point in the story, like the top of a triangle 3. Resolution–the final battle or the secret revealed.
After I have a general picture of what I want to do, I do it chapter by chapter, with the scenes of the…[Read more]

@clairec But satisfaction brought it back. 🙂 (btw nice new profile pic) 🙂

@sarah-h No pantomimes are not silent. At least the ones we did weren’t. I’m not sure why they are called that rather than plays or musicals. I do know that in a Peter Pan pantomime Peter is always played by a girl. Don’t know why that either. 🙂

@jess– it’s kind of a cross between Beauty and the Beast, the Frog Prince, and my own story. It’s kind of complicated.

I remember with my first story I didn’t chapter it at first either, but you’re still getting used to the ropes and stuff! Have fun!
Speaking of which, I’ve got to go now. Hope you understand the writer’s corner better now! @Julia-r

Ha, I am so bad at tagging, @dragon-snapper, @jess. I can’t really figure out chapters yet, what with this being my very first novel.

I was only 500 words into my book, but made it to 1,305 in a half-hour. I’m kinda figuring out my story as it goes. I had to run some boxes to the basement for my Mom, which took about 7 minutes. 🙂 I’m just establishing my story, too.

@jess @Julia-r
Yay, Character arcs! Thanks for the links!
I wrote 1056 words in that time, and I reached chapter 19. How about you @Julia-r?

Si! Hasta la vista! @jess @Julia-r

Si! Hasta la vista!

@jess, @dragon-snapper, let’s go! Vamanos! (Sorry, old Dora the Explorer taking me over. AAHHH!)

Welcome to the realm of writing, my unicorn friend! @jess Both of you, I’m starting now. @Julia-r

Oh, silly me. It doesn’t have to be for an hour, it can really be for however long you want it. Half an hour sounds coolio with me. Start now? @Julia-r

Oh, silly me. It doesn’t have to be for an hour, it can really be for however long you want it. Half an hour sounds coolio with me. Start now?

Oops, that tag didn’t work. Read my last post, @dragon-snapper

@ dragon-snapper: Sure! Would we be able to cut that to 30 minutes? I think we’ll be having family Bible time in about an hour.

@Julia-r Ah, you found it! Welcome to the writers’ corner, where writers from all over the world find a time when they write at the exact same time to avoid distraction. So, say I asked you to write for an hour, we would write for an hour then meet back here to touch base, see how many words we wrote and compare. It’s more of an accountability…[Read more]

Woah. *holds onto computer desk to keep from fainting* What is going on here? It looks awesome, but, like most people, I don’t have time to read all 54 pages of forum to find out. @dragon-snapper ? @bluejay ? @overcomer ? @clairec ? @daeus ? @jess ?

Thanks, @anne-swiftblade! Where would you most like to travel? Say, if someone gave you a 2-week trip to anywhere you wanted in the world, all expenses paid, where would you go?
