Okay!

@alia I’m going to be sprinting all day, so I may or may not be on here. Have fun writing!

@rochellaine, @seekjustice, @valtmy, @jennwriter17, @godlyfantasy12, @devastate-lasting, anyone else

I’ll be writing off and on for the next little bit, tag me if you show up! I’d love to chat and maybe word war (haven’t done that in a while)

@kathleenramm Secret identities —- your works sound lowkey like Durarara!, which has quite a bit of that around the climax.

Hmm…for me I find myself pulling more light novel tropes, usually, such as getting hit by a truck, white curtains blowing in a classroom, fireworks festivals, etc…. I watch too much anime…

Um…I use “the quest” a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline That sounds awesome! I’m all for parallels! Sounds like it would be hard to pull off but if you could do it, that’d be really good!

@kathleenramm

I have a couple of tropes that will have to be pried from cold dead hands. I do like secret identities and I usually have one or two in any given book. But found family is my number one trope, it’s literally in every single book I’ve ever written.

@keilah-h Of course! One of my favorite books, East of Eden, is a retelling of Cain and Abel, and I love it to pieces. Your methods sound so cool! What stories do you usually choose?

@kathleenramm Ah, farmer/shepherd meaning Cain and Abel, haha… I didn’t realise I was writing a retelling of the first murder until I was almost done. So…

Yes, reflective character arcs are so good with foils and things… Those always strengthen themes the best, I think.

@kathleenramm Positive character arc…what’s that…

I used to not think about character arcs but hey, now I kind of do.

I know I have some planned but the only one I can think off of the top of my head that I’ve actually written is Rainan Streamgate’s negative character arc. Which, honestly, turned into a farmer/shepherd story more than I…[Read more]

@ariel-f AHH I’m so glad you loved it! 😀

@joy-caroline

Oh my word I am DYING! 😂 These are priceless!

By the way everyone I’m saving all these precious memes on the Ignite Pinterest board.

@hallie-jean Glad I could help! To be honest, I have an outline too, but if my characters want to go somewhere else, I let them and forget the outline completely.

@godlyfantasy12

That’s so frustrating!

Hello everyone! Anyone around? I’m currently writing book reviews and avoiding article writing, and all my other responsibilities. @graciej @abigail-m @jenwriter17 @rochellaine @writerlexi1216 @godlyfantasy12

@hallie-jean Me, I write my first drafts as how I expect my story to be, except really really in need of editing. That is, when I’m on paper. My paper things aren’t good enough to be shown to the world. On PC I just write and try to aim for quality.

First draft I think means the first time you write a story through before you edit it. And I think…[Read more]

Oops… @ariel-f

@airle-f Yay! I hope you enjoy it! 😀

@devastate-lasting

Yay, thank you! I hope you enjoy it 😁

@jenwriter17 Gotcha ;). Glad I just got a gift card! I’ll order it tomorrow.

@devastate-lasting

Paperback is my preference 😉

@nova21

AHH I LOVE IT! 😍
