In fact… you could make him the one with the complete thematic truth. That it’s better to face reality than shelter in ignorance. A very unlikely bearer of truth— maybe the reader doesn’t see it at first. But if you give him that, his EiL should be the one that wins.
Agreed. @kate-flournoy

…did you just call me sweetheart? @kate-flournoy
Okay. Foil characters. That fundamental difference can be anything? Like how Tam is brash and boastful and Kara is shy and sheltered? Or a physical difference, like how Tam gets taken out of the prison, and Kara stays?
I love the idea of an impact character. *scribbles this in her notes*

@That_Writer_Girl_99 YES! Blake also seems like a really, really great opportunity to be an Impact Character. In fact… you could make him the one with the complete thematic truth.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 not a problem. 😀 And if you think this is great… sweetheart. Wait until KP actually releases the Theme Mastery course I learned all this from. I was a beta-tester… it changed my life. YOU MUST HAVE IT. OKAY. (I was not paid for that advertisement. 😉 )
To go about building a story… well… you need to figure out what…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy *thinks for a moment*
A few examples…
Yes, intelligence is better than ignorance, because if you’re intelligent you can make ignorant people do what you want.
No, intelligence is not better than ignorance, because it’s better to be ignorant than face the horrors of reality.

Wow. *hugs you* This is awesome. Better than anything I’d hoped for. @kate-flournoy
The concept of an EiL is new to me, too, and it very much excites me. I think I’ll have an easier time with my plotting if I keep this in mind…
Kate, thank you so much for being willing to put so much into this. It means so much to me!
Speaking of plot…I’m…[Read more]

Just got home from choir, only to have this conversation with my sister:
“Elizabeth, what are you gonna do now?”
“Write.”
To which she rolled her eyes and responded–with a sigh–“Of course.”Anyways, I’ll be on until 10:00 or so.

@winter-rose Thank you, love!
