@Arella-Noreen I’ve never been out of California and Nevada 😛 (though I am homeschooled). What was it like?

I have a quick question about villains: must they be people? Say that a protagonist’s greatest obstacle was pride. Would that be an antagonist to him, a villain, or simply a negative EiL that he must overcome?

@aratrea or @daeus

I agree with @kate-flournoy here. I was planning on making all of my supporting characters antagonists, and…only three? *deep sigh*

(since I’ve been using my sequel for the past few lessons, I think I’ll keep using it)

1. The protagonist’s mentor. While the protagonist is recklessly pursuing truth, the mentor is warning her (and my dear…[Read more]

@kina-lamb I just meant how you changed “photography” and “taking pictures” to “writing” and “writing stories” 😛

That’s awesome xD

I think this was the most interesting lesson yet!

*picks up random novel #1 off nearby bookshelf* Okay, so in An Old-fashioned Girl, I think Fan (or Fanny. I forget her last name), is a great antagonist for the protagonist, Polly. Fan always makes it a challenge for Polly to remain true to herself, which is the main theme of the novel.

@kina-lamb No way! I didn’t know @daeus has a sister who is a writer as well….

*clears throat* Sorry. Let me start over 😉

Welcome to the forum! I love that quote, even though it isn’t the original version. And yeah, I think short stories are hard too 😛 I mean, how do people tell an entire story without at least ten chapters?!?!

So…I’m taking these characters from a really weird place, because they don’t become foils until the second half of the novel 😛

(and I’m still using the sequel, only after the protagonist’s EiL changes from a foolhardy pursuit of truth to despairing over how she will never be forgiven for what she did, or forgive herself–sort of both)

Hello @PrincessFoo!

I’m sorry to say that I’ve never done any co-writing either. One idea might be agree on a certain number of scenes/chapters that each of you get to write. That way, even if you have to write a lot with your character in the start, you and your cousin can each end up writing the same amount of scenes/chapters.

I don’t know…[Read more]

@daeus I’m here. I’m going through a novel and outlining scenes to rework later.

@winter-rose I got a few things checked off my writing list. I might be back later. Good luck with your writing!

@winter-rose I’m switching gears to go through a novel I’m beta-reading. I make a mess when I comment in other peoples’ documents 😛

@winter-rose If you’re still there, I’m writing an article for something, but the old-fashioned way (paper and pen) xD

@Jane-Maree *waves* Yay! You’re here! 😀

*eats ice cream before dinner* Thanks @daeus!

I have to go to dinner now, but if there’s any ice cream when I get back, I’ll take it 😉

@aratrea haha….

Out of Time series???? 😉 (book 3 has a really good one)

I’m sure there’s more, but I’m working on Biology right now 😛

@daeus cool, thanks! I feel like every time I tag one of you the other shows up xD

@aratrea are foil characters allowed to have character arcs? I just realized how many foil characters I have and how most of them are main characters with their own arcs.

@Mark-Kamibaya I’m so sorry 🙁 You all are definitely in my prayers.
