Yes! Have two villains! Have three! Have four!

Ok, maybe don’t take it that far…

But, more than one villain is often a good idea. It keeps your protagonist on his toes. And, you know those crazy authors, they just want to make everything so hard for the hero. Not nice writerses.

@xonos-darkgrate I agreed with @kate-flournoy @dragon-snapper @daeus
I was going to say what Kate said.

@dragon-snapper , Funny you should ask. I think it’s fine (and sometimes best.) My current WIP has two villains, and then three at the end! 😀

In short, I have two villains who are allies and are both fighting the good guys, but then one villain betrays the other, and they start fighting each other. So the good guys think they’re safe, but the…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper YAS. THE MORE VILLAINS THE BETTER.

*coughs* Okay, maybe not always… but personally, since I write sprawlingly epic books with dozens of thematic threads and plotlines apiece, I usually have at least two villains. One is usually the head bad guy, but giving him an evil sidekick doesn’t hurt.

@dragon-snapper Sure, though you shouldn’t just stick two stories in one book. The two villains need to have the same goal or attack the same weakness in the protagonist or do anything else that keeps the story coherent.

@dragon-snapper I am also the wrong person to ask about this, (never mind that you didn’t ask me specifically. You get my advice anyway. Isn’t that great? 😉 ) because my goal flips between 80,000 and 40,000 depending on the day.

It’s 40,000 right now. Take note, there will be a quiz on this later. xD

I would say don’t worry about it too much…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Personally, I don’t think it really matters how long it is! The only limit here is your imagination, and, for what it’s worth, I doubt that your imagination could be an impediment to you 😉

*evil snickering*

Yeah… @Daeus and @Sam-Kowal were right. I’m the wrong person to ask.

*sees you tagged @kate-flournoy*

*beams and then collapses*

I think Kate is doing a series that’s going to be, like, 5 million words. Or something like that, she said she had book 1 written and it was 500,000, so…

I don’t think there is a max, at all.

Besides what they can physically publish in a bonding, Brandon Sanderson’s…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper The max? Hahahahaha!

Oh, dear. The max, you say. Well, I don’t know if there is a max. 😉 Probably very few people if any have ever written a 1,000,000 word fantasy novel, but I will say that the trilogy I’m working on is looking like it will end up that long.

And whatever you do, don’t ask Kate this question!

@dragon-snapper What @daeus said. 🙂 Feel free to pop by again if you have any additional questions after watching it!

@salome01w4g Yay!!!

@winter-rose I’ll be praying!

I have a major prayer request. My cousin recently told me that her really good friend has cancer. It’s still a super advanced stage, and the the type of cancer is really rare. Her doctors are saying that she may not make it. Please please please pray for healing!!!

@dragon-snapper  No weaknesses?? Everybody has a weakness! (no offence)

What kind of suggestions? Like weaknesses you could have? *pulls out list* Let’s see, I have perfection, presque vu (tip-of-the-tongue), fear, “imprisonment,” procrastination, discipline, discouragement, and lack of motivation.

*Stan throws a tantrum*

*Sighs*

Dragons can be so high maintenance sometimes… I mean *coughs*

Not that all of them are, of course… ahem. Let me try to rephrase–

*AAAAAHHH*

*runs away for his life*

STAN!!! THAT WAS MY FAVORITE WRITING CHAIR WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU—

Stan: But Dragon Snapper did it…

@dragon-snapper Star Trek gif!!! 😀 😀 Hehe

Okay, I’m just going to do one villain, but I will try to have everyone have weaknesses.

@inkling-for-christ  I can so relate!! I spent two weeks making notes for an essay I was going to write, and I didn’t start writing the actual paper until the evening before the due date! XD

So! Writing weaknesses! ‘Fess up! 😉

@winter-rose  @kate-flournoy  @daeus  @emily  @dragon-snapper

Thank you all for your feedback on the prologue!!

Still writing the plot… Mom gave me a suggestion that there should actually be as many villains as there are writers, each designated for one writer. And they all represent writer’s block. Each writer could have like a writer’s blo…[Read more]

Oh yeah, I forgot to tag some people:

@kate-flournoy, @winter-rose, @silverclaw-bonnetfolly, @dragon-snapper

@dragon-snapper *Glances at time in America* Hmm… I assume you have signed off… Seeing that it is 11:00 pm yesterday at earliest… 3 am today at latest. *shakes head at the weirdness of it all*

Oh well, if there are any Aussies about, I am writing!
