Okay, I see what you mean. Eric was just teasing when he was being formal.

I’m envisioning a much larger cut. As I said, a “gash”And actually, depending on where the cut is, you can bleed out.Maybe not from something like that, though. That might be overdoing it. This is my first draft of this section. 😉

@hybridlore

So, now that I’m going with this version, do you have any overall thoughts about the section?

@hybridlore

Okay, that’s reasonable.

You win.

@hybridlore

No, you can’t just say that. Give me a literary reason why I should do this rather then the other one. Why is this better?

ALTERNATE NEXT SECTION!!!!!

Please be honest as y’all read this, because saving the boys is going to be a HUGE change. However, I think it may be the right one, and some interesting things happened that makes me think so. However, I am still on the edge, a…[Read more]

@theducktator

How did you not know that?

lol.

It was pretty obvious. lol.

@whalekeeper

 

Do you wait to figure out the psychology of the character during the writing, or do you graph that too?

Not exactly sure what you mean by that……..

(Sorry, I don’t really do technical names. I just do whatever I’m going to do. lol. If that makes sense.)

@loopylin

I don’t write animal characters. I can’t get into it like people. lol.

Thanks for the invite!

@whalekeeper

Hey, sorry it took a minute.

How detailed does that usually get?

Oh it depends. Sometimes I only have 4 or so points, and sometimes it’s close to 16. It just all depends on what points I know I need/want to hit.

What do you mean by graphing characters?

I have a sheet with the character’s name at the top. Then I add age,…[Read more]

@hybridlore   @koshka

Don’t rub it in.

@whalekeeper

I do bullet points and make sure I know the key points, the beginning, climax, and end. Then I graph out my characters. Other then that, I don’t do too much planning as long as I have a solid plot idea in my head.

@hybridlore   @koshka

having hybridlore on the protection squad is scary! Why did I ever tell her about it?

@hybridlore   @koshka

okay!! Fine!! I give in.

I’ll rewrite that whole scene tomorrow.

y’all win.

*slams down pencil in despair.*

it actually won’t hurt the plot much, and you are actually making sense.

fine. I’ll do it.

they go free. Both of them.

I can’t believe I’m doing this.

@hybridlore

Yes you are you little…. little…… I don’t know what you are.

Dangerous person.

@whalekeeper

Lol. I’m having a great day. Having a lot of fun plotting my next book and building character boards and aesthetics.

@hybridlore

Oh good grief.

I’m gonna do it.

I’m gonna save him.

Eric’s gonna live.

How on earth did you get me to do that?

I can’t believe I’m going to do this.

You are dangerous.

@whalekeeper

She’s the first person to ever get me to reconsider killing a character.

@hybridlore

True. I’m not denying that he isn’t young. He’s just not shockingly young. Especially in that age and culture, he’s considered a man and could have a family and kids.

Eric is still a kid in there eyes.

And no, i can’t change the age because i’d have to do rewrites in the first book and I don’t want to. lol. plus, that makies him…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Hmm. I guess I was trying to cross over the LTBL goal into this without clearly stating that. It’s hard, because Joseph has a tendency to lean toward a survival mindset (no one can really blame him) and the story is his POV.

UGH, I can see the Eric thing both ways. I could still use his almost death as a “wakeup call” and it…[Read more]

@hybridlore

He’s not THAT young. Adrian was younger then him when he died.

@hybridlore

Look, if you can get at least two more people on this forum to agree with you……….
