@dekreel Aha, I don’t watch any Doctor Who, so there ya go. 😛

@dekreel I’m responding for the sake or the thread not dying again, because I have no idea.

The only thing I can think of is that scene in the Incredibles where Bob is stuck in peak hour traffic and hunched up in his tiny car. XD

@emily Star Wars good, The Hobbit, meh. I wouldn’t bother if you’re looking for something remotely similar to the book, but it makes for a good generic dark fantasy trilogy. And I love the Princess Bride, too! 😀

Aha, I don’t think I’ve seen that one. I’ve seen the 1961 version with Hayley Mills (and I only know that because I just looked it up.…[Read more]

@dekreel *high five*

@emily The fact that I haven’t seen it shouldn’t make one assume it hasn’t come to “Aussie-land” yet. 😛 I haven’t seen a lot of movies.

@dekreel It’s definitely not Princess Bride, though. 😉

@dekreel Toy Story!

@emily Oh, I read that Sound of Music recently, but I didn’t remember it from the actual movie (so yes, I have seen it 😉 ). And,  I don’t know what your second one is. 😛

@radically-surrendered I’m writing up a synopsis.

@radically-surrendered Welcome!

@Emily Thanks for the ice cream!! *waves*

*pokes head in* I LIVE.

I’ll be writing, though I probably won’t say very much as I’m a little busy today so I’ll be focusing on wording. 😀

@0-0enyali0-0 As Dekreel said, focus on the characters rather than the fight and that’ll make the scene that much better.

I can’t recommend research enough. Learn as much as you possibly can about the method of fighting that you’re using. The more you know, the easier the fight scenes will become to write.

@dekreel Ah, see I wouldn’t have known that, because I’ve never seen it.

@dekreel Well, the only character I know of that’s called Victor is the guy from Despicable Me, but he called himself Vector, so I know it’s not him. 😛

@dragon-snapper Yes, very mean. 😛

“What’s that?”
“Nunya business!”

Moana.

@dekreel I don’t know. 😛

@Dekreel everyone else has some good ideas, and I second theirs. Basically, if you can bring in a side plot or throw in another antagonist to add more conflict and higher stakes it’ll keep your middle going strong.

You know when you’re a writer when you find a character/scene/plot that you like, and wonder how you can write your own without it seeming like you were copying it.

I don’t usually put letters in books, because I haven’t had the need to. 😛 But I would think that, if the letter wasn’t of much significant importance to the plot, then you might not even need to write out the letter in the story. You can tell in the narrative the character got a letter that day, maybe summarise the general basics of what it…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 Wow, it sounds really well-thought out, and a really good story!

@dekreel Exactly what you expect it to be, I believe – like Steampunk only with diesel (though I am more familiar with Steampunk, so I could be off).

@ingridrd Yes, it was. 😛

@dragon-snapper Oooh, maaan! Who was going to get that? XD You’ll have to think of a new quote now. 😉
