Destiny

Hi all. I had a rough day today. Feeling very discouraged. I struggle with low self-confidence and grapple with loneliness. A lot. And struggle with introverted-exhaustion (I’m constantly around people) and a bit of depression as well.

All in all, I’m very overwhelmed at the moment, so I could use some prayer. I feel like God is calling me to…[Read more]

*pauses* *thinks for a moment* In all honesty, I think all the different terms and elements (no pun intended) being thrown around is really distracting me. Can we talk about plot? And character arcs? But relating to Kara and no one else?

I’m very, very overwhelmed right now. By everything you’re saying…by my complete lack of knowledge on this…[Read more]

Howdy. @jane-maree @audrey-caylin

It’s…a little vague, to be honest. I feel like I’m slowly falling into a sea of ideas and forgetting how to swim in the process. @kate-flournoy

I’m a little daunted by the fact that I have absolutely no ideas when it comes to the actual plot. Like, I get that plotting the MC’s character arc, and the ones that come alongside it, are important,…[Read more]

Er, anyone on? I’ll be writing for the next half hour or so.

@jess @jane-maree I’m signing out now. I wrote 1401 words. Thanks for the pizza!

@daeus Aha. If I wrote a time travel story, I’d likely have to do the same thing.

@daeus Ooh, fun. I’ve never worked on one of those. The paradoxes boggle my mind.

@daeus Congratulations! I know how that feels! What are you working on?

@daeus @jane-maree I has come!

@michael-stanton Dragon Snapper will never stop laughing. I think I’ll be grinning all night after that. 😀

As the dark vapor seeped out of the room, Dragon Snapper blinked at the door.Then, galvanized into action, she charged after the evil overlord, @michael-stanton. “Does that mean yes? You can be your own independent villain that’s not as cliche as Thran or Throy or whatever his name was!”

@kate-flournoy Do you think you could draw Kara?

Hang on–if we’re the same age, that means you’re graduating this year too, right? @kate-flournoy

That makes sense. I really struggle with outlining, honestly, but I think I’m getting better.
Can we talk about that, actually? I can’t figure out how I want the story to end, which means I don’t know what needs to happen in the middle…

That’s awesome! I prefer sheet music to tabs, too, although playing tabs is still fun. @dragon-snapper

@that_writer_girl_99 I’ve been playing for almost three years now, though it feels like forever! 😛 I prefer sheet music to tabs. I tried to do it once, and it was quite confusing. 😛

@dragon-snapper You play guitar too? Awesome! How many years have you been playing?

Also, don’t feel bad–I primarily use sheet music too, although I can play tabs if needed.

@clairec Thanks for making this!

@kate-flournoy To answer your original question, I have several years of vocal training–a mixture of singing lessons, different choirs over the years, and me testing my voice. I’m a second soprano, but I can drop down to alto as needed. I love testing my voice.

Thanks. @kate-flournoy

So…how does one go about planning/outlining an arc like this?

@kate-flournoy Okay, this is the book title then: How to Write Novels by Isildur’s Heir
