Greetings, @amy-l-klob!!

How to begin a novel. *scratches chin* Hmmmmmm…

It makes sense why you want to do that! The reader does need to know the background of the protagonist.

I think you should kick off the first chapter like right before the action happens, around the time when the conflict comes in. Like, the protagonist is coming home…[Read more]

@catwing how did you go with NaNo?

@dekreel i feel you.

Greetings, @catwing! Coming back to an older story! An old flame, eh? (get it? Ok that was some awkward wording…)

@seekjustice  I’m all right. Very, very unmotivated though 😛

@alia  It’s going okay. It’s hard not to overuse verbs of being though! My teacher found billions! Personally I don’t find much wrong with verbs of being, but…. *shrug* 🙂

I love it when characters do that! It’s a good change! 😀

@dekreel I’m a bit worn out, but I’ll survive. How are you?

@dekreel, I don’t just not like it, I loath it. Though I will have to admit J. K. Rowling is an amazing author. I’ve never actually read any of the books, but I have read parts and @charisetter has told me enough of the story.

*quickly grabs a bowl full of ice cream before its all taken*

pretty good I guess, my characters are actually obeying me. they must have heard that my othe story got put on probation.

@dekreel, hows it going for you?

@supermonkey42  Oh they are called droids , aren’t they? They are! I forgot and thought they were called “drones!” Alright, I’ll do that! Thanks!

@alia Thank you! What! You don’t like Harry Potter??

Mmmmmm! *pounces in ice cream* How are you, @alia?

@dekreel, LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT minus the HP reference…

@supermonkey42, you’re building a full-size R2-D2? Seriously jealous right now.

@dekreel, I’m writing, sorta….

*brings out the pie and ice cream*

Hi, @seekjustice! How are you doing?

@dekreel I’m here catching up on blog comments and hoping to find motivation to continue my epicly long NaNo novel.

Anyone want to accompany a poor little wolf-woman who’s revising a complicated school essay? 😛

@catwing  @perfectfifths

No it’s not…

“You expect us to swim there?!”

“I expect you to trust me!”

@supermonkey42  @sam-kowal  What were your favorite Tree House books? I likes that magical saga about… Oh, it was a wand, and they were trying to find happiness for a magician (I forgot his name!) who lived in Camelot. And there were certain rules one had to follow in order for the wand to work.

@catwing  The Incredibles!!!!!!!! *dances around at Pixar reference*

@catwing  Wow… Nice list! I actually meant writing weaknesses — considering writer’s block. *gives nervous smile*  But thank you!!

@dragon-snapper

Yes! Have two villains! Have three! Have four!

Ok, maybe don’t take it that far…

But, more than one villain is often a good idea. It keeps your protagonist on his toes. And, you know those crazy authors, they just want to make everything so hard for the hero. Not nice writerses.
