I KNEW THIS THREAD HAD TO BE ON HERE SOMEWHERE! AT LAST I HAVE FOUND IT!

I went to see The Last Jedi on Tuesday, and I LOVED it. First of all, it was so visually appealing– the effects were stunning. Second of all, I really want one of those frozen fox critters, as well as one of those space horses that they freed on that one planet (I can’t…[Read more]

@dekreel
Well, first person is more direct, and more conversational. You can use the character’s thoughts to great effect, just don’t overload them like I first did writing first person (pages of their thoughts, with no story happening)

AS for the prologue… actually, I think it’s good.
“And this certainly is” should be “And this certainly…[Read more]

@dekreel One thing I noticed is that most of your sentences are very similar in length. It would help to vary that up a bit. Have some run-on sentences and some normal and some very short.

@dekreel I need to read this! I just need to find some time.

@dekreel I don’t usually write in first, but I just finished a 100k novel in first, so I learnt a thing or do whilst I did.

-its a lot more limited, but a lot more intimate, so you end up feeling very close to the character.

-as someone already said, make good use of the five senses, especially touch and taste and smell.

-Give us your…[Read more]

@dekreel I know XD

Don’t rush it! And you could always have a sequel. Or turn it into a serial story…sorry, I’m just spilling more ideas 😛

I’m going to call it a night for writing. Instead of my character giving pushback, I’m running out of energy XD I hope your writing goes well! And if I’m not back on before Christmas, Merry Christmas!

@dekreel for me, it’s writer’s speak for being unable to come up with an answer to any of the questions. For instance, if the question is “What are his (or her) fears?” and I can’t find any, I take that as the character giving “pushback.” Really, it’s because I haven’t delved that deep into the character yet because part of me likes them being all…[Read more]

@dekreel How many chapters do you think you’ll have?

I’m doing a character interview. It’s for my protagonist for my current dystopian novel. So far, I haven’t gotten any pushback from her 😉

@dekreel yeah, I’ll definitely have to try it! 😀

@dekreel nice! Congrats!

That’s really cool! I’m not much of a poet myself (I do a little free verse), but I enjoy reading it.

@dekreel HI 😀

Hm… I’ve actually never thought of that 😛 I should add it to my character questionnaire XD

How’s the KeePer Adventure going?

@dekreel *is drawn in by the smell of chocolate* oh my…those look good. Maybe I could use some to bribe my character to get through this intensive interview? 😉

@Dekreel I like it! Your portrayal of me is quite forbearing; in reality I’d probably be more cynical about the whole thing. XD But I’m happy that I’m in there! I liked the part about the letter from (or to, whichever it was) Aslan, too. 😉

@dekreel

I really liked Alfred’s voice too. I only write in first, so I am not exactly sure how it is different than third, but just first is really where the personality of the character comes out. @introvert_girl summed it up pretty well.

The only thing I would change is I’m studying writing in a university. I don’t think you can study “…[Read more]

@dekreel I really like Alfred’s voice, which is especially important in something told in first person. 😉
My tops tips are to be really sensitive to the five senses. While these details are important in any POV, I think it can really shine in first. Especially touch/textures, taste and smells, which I find are often overlooked.
Also, first is a…[Read more]

@shannon @daughteroftheking @epicaddie2 @ingridrd @dekreel

I think i got every one…

Daddy called me a little while ago and said the glitch with the contract  was fixed and that we are likely going to get the house now! Praise God thanks for your prayers! ❤

@emily @shannon @catwing @seekjustice @dekreel

Okay, I just finished editing it. It’s really weird, and definitely not my best work, but *winces* here it is. *reluctantly hands it over*
