Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Lack of Plot in the forum Plotting 8 years, 5 months ago
@Dragon-Snapper congratulations on branching out. 😉
They’ve covered a lot… the only thing new I have to add is pretty small. You mentioned that you’re tired of writing snarky characters and want to try something different, but had no idea how to go about it…
Why do you like snarky characters in the first place? Is it because they come easy…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Lack of Plot in the forum Plotting 8 years, 5 months ago
@dragon-snapper Well, it isn’t easy. I try to write down story ideas whenever I get them so that when I’m done with one novel I can have a basic idea of what the next one’s going to be about.
But, obviously, you want a plot now. Well, I do have one suggestion. One of the best sources of inspiration for me is to read other novels. I don’t just…[Read more]

Sam Kowal replied to the topic Lack of Plot in the forum Plotting 8 years, 5 months ago
Hmm
This is hard because I never run out of ideas of things to write
Right now, I have four extra projects I’m planning that I’ve thought of ever since I’ve started the one I’m working on now… usually my problem is not finishing most of what I start and when I do it doesn’t come out masterfully… anyway
Try going to the…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Good question. *thinks*
My problem is I actually have started a new story in a while. Like for NaNoWriMo, I just took an old idea from way-back-when and rewrote it.
The best advice I can give is always be looking for inspiration, in what you watch, read, listen to, say, do, etc. It can come from anywhere, even your dreams (trust me).

@sam-kowal I know that feeling. It seems like everything I stet out to write grows longer than I planned. (I had a story that I thought would need 15k, but it came out to 50k in the end XD)
@dekreel I had the idea for it because I was listening to Owl City’s Christmas song Humbug. It’s basically about a character having trouble figuring out what…[Read more]

Hello, @sam-kowal! I just finished a part about Stan! 😉
@dragon-snapper So far so good! Although I have the feeling the productivity level is going to decrease soon… As soon as the good part comes, I reckon!

@intovert_girl @dekreel @dragon-snapper @shannon @anyone else who is here
I’ll be on for a bit working on my short story that’s turning into a novella…

@introvert_girl @dragon-snapper Oh hi, girls! I’m so sorry I didn’t see you guys! I’m too engrossed in my story 😀
Short story, eh? What’s it about if I may ask? 🙂
I’m listening to epic music, too! What are you listening to? I’m listening to a bunch of “Fresh Aire” albums. It’s electronic music.
Ooh, I like finding old notebooks, too! M…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Oh wow! That’s cool. You know how to write in dwarvish? Did it take a long time to learn? And I love finding old notebooks. They’re sort of like finding old treasures of memories and ideas 🙂

introvert_girl replied to the topic Writers' Corner #11 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
@dragon-snapper I had this scene planned out in my outline, and if it were a longer project I would probably keep it, but I feel it slows/muddles the story since it’s so short (I’m aiming for 5k) so now I have to figure out how to integrate the important points of the scene into other parts of the story.
And epic music is good for getting the…[Read more] -

@dekreel @dragon-snapper Yeah, we used to love Mythbusters. 😀 I’m not sure why we stopped watching it though. 😛

introvert_girl replied to the topic Writers' Corner #11 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
@dragon-snapper Ooh new story ideas are so shiny and fun!
@dekreel *waves* Hiya!I’m thinking I’m gonna try and outline this scene that’s giving me a bit of trouble… *sigh*
I’m working on my first short story ever and so I’m coming against some challenges I’m not used to, haha. -

@dragon-snapper @perfectfifths I’m glad I’m not the only one who has watched the Mythbusters! 😉
Snapper, is yours from Star Trek (random guess)?

Louise Fowler replied to the topic Quote That in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
@dekreel Ah, sorry! It sounded familiar, and now I remember hearing it from Mythbusters. 😛
@shannon You should! It’s a cute, sad, fun Disney movie. 😉
@dragon-snapper I have no idea, but I feel like I should. 😛
