@alia It’s setting the chapter/book up to dramatic and mysterious, so I think as long as you follow through on the promise very quickly, it’s all good!

SeekJustice replied to the topic What's the biggest mistake you made when you first started writing? in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years, 4 months ago
First of all, I completely agree about MacGuffins. They’re not bad, after all, I would argue that LOTR is a reverse-MacGuffin-quest-thing, but they’re often lazy.
Secondly! My worst mistake? I don’t know exactly, but a lot of my early stories and novels suffered from far too many main characters and subplots connected to those…[Read more]

I’ll be around for about 30 more minutes if I don’t get distracted by too much Tchaikovsky

@lewilliams, yours made me laugh
Somehow life wouldn’t be quite the same after all, even though no one would remember.

So I’m starting the second draft of my WIP and I’m wondering if the beginning is just over the top?
Everyone knelt, the white fog weighing heavy around them. Jycin could feel his legs growing stiff in the cool damp air, but he dared not move. They would be coming at any moment, and he didn’t have the luxury of playing with fate.Â
What do y’all…[Read more]

SeekJustice replied to the topic What is your biggest struggle as a writer? (Long rants welcome) in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years, 4 months ago
Can I just say that I absolutely love the name Tora! It’s actually my dog’s name and I think it’s so cool. Sorry, just had to get that in there 😀 😀 😀
I honestly think my biggest struggle with writing is balancing it with the rest of my life. I have a very all-or-nothing personality and I can go for months without…[Read more]

Chapter 27 and a wedding, huh? Does that mean it’s almost finished?
What’s the premise? (I’m assuming his-fic is the genre? 😉 )
So, are you looking for a full orchestra or an ensemble, or a harpsichord or what? I personally do not find harpsichords soothing, but everyone has their tastes. 😛

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner 01 in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 4 months ago
I’m attempting to do some outlining.
I don’t like outlining. 😛
What are you working on?

SeekJustice replied to the topic I Don't Do Dares, but… in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 4 months ago
This looks like so much fun, unfortunately I’ve temporarily misplaced the USB with my first novel on it. I’m actually quite proud of my first novel, cringey and cliche though it may be. I’ll look for my USB and see if I can find it though!

XD! This is such a great idea. I have to concur with someone up there somewhere, though, in that my first drafts and inspo and everything was all on paper (notebooks), so that’d be a little odd. Thoughts? XP Love all of this, though, and I wish I had the time to go through and read all of them! 🙂
