@audrey-caylin Every time you use that book, you remind me that I really need to read it. =P Great work!

@dragon-snapper I have read Lord of The Rings, but I like the hobbit better, and I hope you find your way out of the bog of ideas. Did you know that before Tolkien died, he going to write a time-travel book that connected the Middle Earth world to ours? @audrey-caylin, @ingridrd, thanks so much for the welcome posts!

@Audrey-Caylin oooh, I like it! Lovely!

Okay guys, let’s try something different here. We’ll pick a topic/category and each of us will try to think of something different for that one category, and when we’re out of ideas someone can suggest a new category/topic.

First topic— trains.

@Audrey-caylin I’d love to beta read for you. I’m trying to get editing experience. I’m unlikely to get it done in that time frame though. Not something of that length.

@audrey-caylin What Brianna and Kate said :p So yes please post them here and we’ll definitely take dialogue prompts as well! We’d be super glad for your help in coming up with inspiring ideas. 🙂

@Audrey-Caylin what @TheLiteraryCrusader said. 😉

@audrey-caylin Well, not sure yet. Sometime before the end of the month. 😉

@audrey-caylin Yeah, Mockingjay especially certainly has a negative arc. In addition to the ones I mentioned in the video, King Lear (really, all of Shakespeare’s tragedies), Oedipus Rex, the Dark Knight, and Morte d’Arthur are all examples of good negative arcs.

@audrey-caylin Cool. I signed up.

@audrey-caylin I’d be interested. 🙂 To be honest though, I’m not sure I could finish it in a month. I probably wouldn’t be done with it until about May 1st. If that’s ok with you though, or if you’re fine with only getting feedback on the first half, you can count me in. (There is also a chance I could get it done in time.)

@audrey-caylin I think that would be a good way of doing it. In that case, it would probably more be the first step she’d be taking, and one you would develop more in the sequel.

I would say the novel as a whole would still be a positive character arc even if half of it is a negative arc. If you think about it, you can really divide a novel into…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin That looks like a fantastic outline. Makes me want to read your book! I love how naturally those experiments flow into each other, and at least on paper, the plotting seems perfect!

The one thing you’ll want to watch out for is the fact that the story seems to be more leading from one experiment directly to the next one without a…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin Thanks!

@Emma-Flournoy I know…. I am running into the same problem. There are about 10 books on my reading list that are screaming to be read, and maybe a couple hundred others tugging on my brain and begging to be read, too.
You should still watch the two movies; they are still worth it. Combeferre is sweet, and so is Jolly.…[Read more]

This is kind of what @Audrey-Caylin already said, but pain changes people too, though sometimes not in the right way. Bad experiences can motivate a person to change for the better, but pain can make people change for the better or the worse. If a person is hurt by their friends, they’ll be more likely to use caution in future friendships, which…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin, I got a 78. @bluejay and @sarah-h did you do it? If so, what did you get?
