@gracie-j Rainan would give money to a crazy uncle if he had one. He doesn’t really care for money and besides, most of the charities, if there were any, would probably be out to get him.

@nova21 I don’t think any of my characters own a castle…if they did it would have gotten destroyed long ago. As Hoen has already basically built his manor…[Read more]

@scoutfinch180 Hello there! I’m a high school graduate who’s in a gap year now, and as a result I have time to do National Novel Writing Month. My WIP is a Beauty and the Beast retelling and I’m very happy with it 🙂

Also, I hope to be a speech therapist, so I expect to work a lot with speech impairments in the future, but I haven’t really been e…[Read more]

@alia It’s setting the chapter/book up to dramatic and mysterious, so I think as long as you follow through on the promise very quickly, it’s all good!

@kathleenramm

First of all, I completely agree about MacGuffins. They’re not bad, after all, I would argue that LOTR is a reverse-MacGuffin-quest-thing, but they’re often lazy.

Secondly! My worst mistake? I don’t know exactly, but a lot of my early stories and novels suffered from far too many main characters and subplots connected to those…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Man, I could use some of your confidence. XD I usually have the opposite problem. I sometimes get so down about my writing abilities that it discourages me from writing.

@gracie-j

Well, out of all the mistakes to make, jumping into to writing super early isn’t a bad one to do! At least starting before ready is better than not…[Read more]

@nova21 Cool photo!

Whether it was stars or rain, she didn’t know; but it was otherworldly.

@r-m-archer Pebble falls asleep whenever, wherever, so he would probably go with the first. Eleven hates bothering with things, though, so probably the latter.

Would your character rather switch bodies with their love interest or their rival/worst enemy?

Raiden would absolutely stay awake working for ten days in a row. It would get him closer to his application for the Emperor’s Academy.

Would your character rather wake up precisely at dawn and fall asleep precisely at sunset, or vice versa?

@lewilliams Calloway already stays at home all the time. A certified neet, he is.

Would your character rather sleep for a hundred years or be awake for 10 days in a row working?

@kathleenramm Probably thinking that my writing was good, lol. My child brain had no concept of what good writing actually was. Gotta say nowadays I feel like I’m falling into the same trap. I have to constantly remind myself to keep the pride down and be humble.

@gracie-j Jonah is the type to blow them off, definitely.

@r-m-archer Lonny will take the Amazon and conquer it.

If your character is in a love triangle which one would they rather pick?

@alia Aw, I missed you. 🙁

@rochellaine @seekjustice @dekreel @gracie-j @valtmy

I’ll be around for a bit today…

@alia I think that’s fantastic! I love it! 😀

@lewilliams

Although I only play video games once maybe twice a week I fully agree that they can be really great at sparking creativity. I was actually thinking of writing a story based on one of my favorite video games. The great thing about video game stories is that they’re usually never fully fleshed out or explored so there is a lot of…[Read more]

I think I’m going to switch it up and answer these questions from my villain’s perspective. Bwaahahah! This’ll be fun.

@devastate-lasting

Would your character rather be tickled or chased?

Kai would rather be chased. It’s part of his daily routine already.

Would your character rather eat really spicy things or really bitter things?

He seems…[Read more]

@alia

Coming from someone who has read quite a few “over the top” beginnings to novels, this is great!

If you’re worried that it’s too over-dramatic, just make sure what happens next fully follows through with the drama you’re alluding to.

Nooooo, these require me to choose a single character. XD

Duyên would rather implement criticism. Not only is she teachable in a mature way, but she also tries to please everyone in a less mature way, so she will change herself to fit what others expect of her.

Would your character rather live in the Amazon or the Arctic?

@alia If it’s honest about the tone of the book moving forward, it sounds awesome! And it’s definitely an effective hook. 🙂
