@overcomer Ha! That part about the opposite shoes…

Ok, so as for your questions/idea, I’d say I don’t think so for first two, but yes for the second two, especially the last one, because, while after I got what you were doing I thought the ending was funny, it confused me at first. Showing how the characters developed would be helpful for…[Read more]

@Aratrea

My main villain is a former friend of Ethaniel’s. They were messengers together and developed a strong bond because Ethaniel has no name and Keros (who ends up becoming the villain) was of mixed blood (Ethaniel actually helped and cared for Keros when Keros first joined the force. He’s the main reason Keros stayed). Keros’s EiL is that a…[Read more]

@overcomer Your message got marked as spam for some reason. I got it up now.

What’s this @overcomer?

@aratrea Alright. A foil, then. And yes, Ard is very interesting. I still am working on figuring out the end of his arc…

@aratrea Yes, it might have something to do with that too. Actually, it will probably have a lot to do with the negative EiL and consequences from events over 30 years ago… *grins* *heads off to work on details*

@aratrea Yep. The one piece of truth they have is the piece the MC is missing. It so much fun when the villain or main antagonist knows and (in some sort of manner) teaches the MC the truth they need to hear even while mortal enemies.

@daeus That makes sense. Thanks. 🙂 I figured it was something like that…

Can characters be antagonists on and off? Because I’ve a number of characters that are antagonists at some points and work with the MC at other points.

Silvara: An archeress. She’s been a legend for 500 years and thinks the whole name deal is a bit hilarious. Though when it comes to the respect people have for her just due to her name and not…[Read more]

@hope With martyrdom and apparent tragedy, the poetic justice is subtle. Good leads to blessings, but it doesn’t mean the protagonist can have everything. If a character with a good EIL dies, what’s generally happening is a sacrifice. In other words, even though he’s giving up his life, he’s gaining something that’s more important to him. If he…[Read more]

Hmm, just realized Zevlin might actually be an antagonist off and on… More on than off. 😉

@Aratrea
@daeus

Just two… Foil characters are so much fun. These are for Fidelyon, again. The rest of my work will probably be for that novel. My trilogy isn’t developed enough for this yet… Anyway:

1. Seamus: the page boy of the MC. His EiL is that names don’t mean much, if anything. He’s an orphan, and couldn’t care less. It is what he…[Read more]

I love the foil characters that stand opposed to the main character’s EiL in almost every way and yet have one aspect of truth that the MC is missing. My mind is going blank on such characters in fiction (I don’t suppose I can count my own characters. *grins sheepishly* They’re the ones I’ve been thinking about a lot recently.) though I know there…[Read more]

Alrighty, I got 740 written, so a great writing session.

@overcomer Oh boy. Let me think about it. …Yes. 🙂

Hi @northerner, I’ll write with you for an hour.

@kate-flournoy Well, my books are about a sixth of the size of yours.

@kate-flournoy Actually, I finished the chapter, so I’m going to go ahead and stop, but I got 285 written. I’m now over halfway through with my next book. 🙂

@kater-flournoy Actually, I finished the chapter, so I’m going to go ahead and stop, but I got 285 written. I’m now over halfway through with my next book. 🙂

@kate-flournoy @anyon-else I’ll be writing till nine or whenever I get 650 words done.
