This doesn’t have to do with being a writer, but the problems I have as a writer when I have a writer fail moment.
ME: What color hair does this character have?
SIBLING: I don’t know. Depending on the scene, it varies from black to blonde.

XD I’ve never had a character who can change hair color from scene to scene.

@epicaddie2 Byeeeeeeeeeee!! XD

@dragon-snapper @that_writer_girl_99 Sadly, I must leave. I have lots of schoolwork to do. Byeeeeeee!

@that_writer_girl_99 Yeah! Thanks! I was just worried about changing my character too much, and I don’t want him to seem like a completely different person, but I think if I stretch out the character arc between several books, it should be better.

@dragon-snapper Okay, thanks! I think that I’ll stretch it out between two or three books so it isn’t very sudden.

eesh. I only recently learned what a character arc was, and I’m still trying to figure out how to write one. @epicaddie2 But what @dragon-snapper said is right. We’re people, constantly learning what’s right and wrong, just like our characters. If you strive to portray that accurately, then I’m not sure you can restrict an arc to any length.…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Not from what I know of. If you’re worried that the character arc isn’t going to fit in your book, then I’d shorten it, but the characters is what carries your story. The character arc should not be immediate or too small. Character arcs can last for a few books maybe too, if its a major life aspect.

But if you think about, our lives…[Read more]

Alright @aratrea thanks for replying! I’ll see what I can do…

@dragon-snapper @that_writer_girl_99 Question. Can character arcs be too big?

In regards to the Warden’s specific character, I think I agree with you. I guess my problem is with the theme…the way I want the characters to act regarding the Warden heavily relies on what they believe about choosing mercy over revenge, or the reverse–revenge over mercy. I’m not sure how to convey that with regards to the Warden’s character,…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Welcome!
@that_writer_Girl_99 Motion Picture class? That sounds like so much fun! I’ve looked into scriptwriting before, and yeah, the format is odd. I find Times Roman much more friendly. 😛

@dragon-snapper @that_writer_girl_99
I can join you guys, but not for very long. I have schoolwork that needs to be done. *sigh*

I’m working on a thing for my Motion Picture writing class. So…schoolwork, but still fun. @dragon-snapper

Although, can I tell you a secret? My least favorite part of writing the script is adhering to the script format. It’s strange and feels constricting.

Okay, wait a minute, what? @shannon I heard something about a youtube channel. You have a youtube channel and you sing?

@salome01w4g @daeus @that_writer_Girl_99 @catwing @epicaddie2 I’m writing now, and might do some editing later, but whoever wants to join me…

I’m definitely not the best person to help out on this, because I struggle with it too, but something that I’ve picked up while being on KP is the concept of “show not tell”, something that helps to infuse dialogue with physical actions, emotions, or facial expressions.

Think about your characters. When they’re angry, do they clench their fists?…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 For me, it really helps to record a conversation, and then later write it out, including all the “ums” and “uhs” and such. And you could also write out how the people you were recording reacted while talking with each other. Also, if I know someone with a similar personality as the character that’s speaking, I might imagine what…[Read more]

@catwing Nice XD

@salome01w4g Yeah. *sigh* I’m definitely going to be getting rid of some of my clothes so I can have more room for books XD
@catwing Yay!!!
