@emma-flournoy, no worries, just clarifying. 😉

@overcomer @winter-rose @r-j-wordsmith @graciegirl @anyone else if they were in the party–Well, I’m out now. I invented a character arc type, applied it to a character and then planned a few pages. I also singled out some themes for the next book.

@daeus It is, isn’t it. That’s a good amount.
@r-j-wordsmith I should be here for another fifteen minutes.

@overcomer Sure thing! *hands you frog so that you can hop in*
@winter-rose Keeps them on their toes. 😀

@daeus Yay! Welcome back!
@graciegirl I like tigers better than lions; they are my favorite animal besides tree frogs.

@winter-rose And for tigers!

@emma-flournoy That’s a relief…

@graciegirl Huzzah!

@graciegirl @r-j-wordsmith @daeus @overcomer @winter-rose @kate-flournoy @jess @ethryndal And now begins the legendary hour of writing.

@jess Yay, you’re back! How was vacation?
Okay, so first off, before I give you my five cents ( 😛 ) please tell me what the antihero is.

@daeus Basically because I do believe that it will make the antagonist deeper and better than before. His character arc (and theme really) ties into the story well, so I wanted to do so.
@aratrea Thanks!

Hey @Jess!! Welcome back. Hope you had a blast. 🙂

@aratrea Is one able to have a negative character arc apply to the antagonist? The Negative EiL to a worse EiL, or would a flat character arc work better?

@aratrea Would be against the rules to say your example of Star Wars episode 3? That one really is a great example, the catharsis with Luke and Leia was perfect. I think I like that movie better now that I understand it better.

@Daeus Okay. I’d thought of that, but I wasn’t thinking in a roundabout enough way. 😛
Thanks.
(By the other guy, I meant Blackwood.)

@GracieGirl *huge thumbs up*

@Dragon-Snapper No one will kill you (at least not I). But is for your own satisfaction you should read them. 😀
I’ve only read two of those though, so don’t feel awful. 😛

@his-instrument Ooh! I like lists too. 😀 At one point, I had an entire name devoted to notebooks, then I needed to notebook for another story idea, so that backfired. 😛

*hides face* I…er…have honestly not read any of those…not even Les Mis. *runs for life*

Top marks to you, @rachelle, for actually having a reason to use a cliche! It’s a pretty interesting twist on a familiar story. Personally, I’d get turned off fast if you had boring characters or didn’t have a theme-glimmer (as Daeus said) to give a sense of the story. So just as long as you incorporate theme and have great characters, I would say…[Read more]
