@winter-rose No problem! Thank you!

@northerner

@northener Wow, thank you so much! That was really helpful and really got me excited to start writing!

Actually, I love reading (primarily historical fiction.) I have done a lot of research online, and have documents with links and pictures for different aspects of the Middle Ages (such as castles, heraldryknights, medieval life, etc) I have…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Thank you! Yes, I think I want the spy to make himself known in disguise, and I appreciate the suggestions!

@that_writer_girl_99 Thank you for your suggestions!

@winter-rose Thank you Gabrielle! I actually was more stuck on the two questions I mentioned to Northerner and Dragon Snapper in relation to the plot. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! 🙂 Goals are super important!

@northerner
Yeah. I have to watch my back at times. There’s a reason I melt chairs. 😛

@delightinlife Well, some lords would have to deal with the problems in their fief. Thieves, disputes, war, and everyday business of running a fief in general, such as selling the stuff that his serfs make, and divvying out his soldiers to the king’s army, and a myriad of other things. Since you have your own story world, you can be really…[Read more]

Sounds to me like you need to worldbuild a bit. Build a government, build the landscape, build the people that operate within the government. Once you’ve done that, you can create characters that live inside that world, that government, and then you can create their ideals, their views, their beliefs…

I feel like @daeus or @aratrea would have…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper

Thank you! Yes, that makes sense. Right now one of the ideas I do have for the plot is to have a spy go to the kingdom in which the story takes place, in order to spy out the land to prepare for an attack.

I don’t really want betrayal or treachery in my story, but I need a place to go from there. I am really stuck on a couple…[Read more]

Hm, hm, hm… This can be tricky.

I’ll use my current WIP as an example. See, back when Prison was just a tiny whisper of an idea, I had my main character, Kara, wandering around a random, nameless city, on the run from a random, nameless group of government affiliated guards. Probably. See, a lot of the details were weakly tied together, and…[Read more]

Please give us the link to your post, when you post it! 😀

@delightinlife Oh yeah. I totally get you on this.
What I did to fire up my plot was to find a problem among the story world and among the characters. What about the story world could allow for conflict. This character feels this way but the other feels this way.
So first, I’d try to work a bit on your world if you are lacking plot, then you can…[Read more]

@arella-noreen

@perfectfifths “Y’all” is more of a southern thing, not everyone in the States uses it. But I do. A lot.

Okay, but who… *sighs* *hangs head and decides to submit to her lack of LOTR knowledge* @ethryndal
