@Daeus Thank you! That helps a ton! 😀 I think I get too stuck in the mindset of ending a chapter right at the “disaster” in order to have a cliffhanger ending. I will use Lord Elrond’s question to help with my scene structure 😉

@Aratrea question: how do you figure out when one “scene” ends and the next begins? It seems that every moment of a story is made up of goals, complications, disasters, reactions, dilemmas, and decisions. I can’t seem to figure out when I should end each scene. They could be as long as the novel itself or as short as a paragraph. This has always…[Read more]

And I use A Time To Die once again. (You REALLY need to read this 😉 ).

I’m using chapter 7, where the protagonist is clearly pursing a negative experiment in living to succeed, thus method #12, as said in the lesson. It was actually startling to open the book and be able to figure out exactly what the author was doing with this scene 😛

@rachelle Hello! I’m also on the Young Writers Workshop, though I’m not under my pen name there (I’m the mysterious person with the pink blossoms picture, if you ever seen me 😉 ).

It’s great to have you here! I hope you find lots of encouragement and inspiration from everyone at Kingdom Pen. 🙂

@Aratrea Will this work like the last Q&A, where we submit questions beforehand? Just wondering. 😀

@aratrea That sounds great! Did you February 24th, 25th, or 27th? If so, Friday the 24th would work best for me 🙂

(And here I am altering my character arcs and plot again 😛 I can’t wait to try this with a novel I haven’t already written)

Protagonist (Kara) has the internal goal to find a hope that never dies. Her external goal is to find a place where she feels safe. These are tied together as she is constantly hoping for a safe place, so her internal goa…[Read more]

I apologize, but I must again use A Time To Die as my example 😉

I believe the author uses Method #1, as the protagonist’s plot goal is almost exactly the same as her thematic growth. Every action she takes and what she pursues in the plot contribute to her growth towards finding her purpose in life.

Hello! Welcome to this awesome Internet place 😀 I am ashamed to say that I haven’t read Screwtape Letters yet, though I’ve heard so much about them that I feel like I already have 😉

I hope you find lots of support and advice and awesome people here, as I have 🙂

@Kate-Flournoy hmm…this is a good brainstorming challenge 😛

My contribution to the topic: You find out that your best friend died yesterday in a train wreck. But no one has seen a working train on Earth for the past five hundred years.

@anna-brie I’m glad you’re interested! May I ask how much extra time you would need? If it’s not too much longer, I could tweak the deadline a little bit. 🙂

@theliterarycrusader Cool. So do we post them here or send them via email? And like I mentioned above, are dialogue prompts acceptable? Thanks 🙂

@kate-flournoy This sounds cool! Do the prompts have to have graphics with them, or can we just come up with the words? And are dialogue prompts acceptable? 😀

@winter-rose I now recognize your profile picture. Hello again! See you around 😀

@winter-rose Thank you so much! I’m super excited to get your feedback!

And yes, I do happen to be in the Young Writers Workshop 🙂 I’m not under my penname there, but I have the pink blossoms profile picture. Are you in there too?

@winter-rose I still am. 🙂 Here’s a link to the synopsis, and if you’re still interested, I have a sign-up form here. I’m sending it out on the 20th, and am hoping to get it back on April 1st, as I mentioned above. If you really needed extra time, I could tweak the deadline a little bit, though I’d prefer my original one. Just let me know if you…[Read more]

@daeus Congratulations on your novel! That’s super exciting! When is release date? 😀

@daeus Awesome! Thank you so much!
