@ellette-giselle FIFTH draft? Wow!!

@ellette-giselle

Are you using a normal arc structure/your own structure based off what you know about arcs? Or just thinking through the arc as you write?

@ellette-giselle

Have you outlined LTBL?

@ellette-giselle

I just read the last section. I don’t have too much to say about it, but it was good!

@ellette-giselle

Because, your country seems to have a little superstition what with the wizards and all that. In the olden days, (which your book is fantasy so i can’t quite tell the era) People were really cruel to lefties because they believed it was a sign of demonic inhabitants or the practice of witchcraft.

Hmm. I don’t think the citizens o…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle haha yeah

@ellette-giselle wow that’s… still terrible

Kinda interesting though how all of these unrelated cultures (Latin, German, Chinese, etc) all equated “left” with “wrong” separately, unless it came about once those cultures all had contact.

Don’t worry, I didn’t think you believed that nonsense lol

@ellette-giselle very cool!!

@ellette-giselle MARVEL QUOTES!!!

haha they have some great ones

@freed_and_redeemed and @smiley will certainly enjoy it too

@ellette-giselle ooh things are going in a new direction! So Aaron and his friends are taking in all the children whose parents were killed in the war?

@ellette-giselle Why would someone do such a thing??? Chop off a kid’s hand just cause they’re left-handed?

@linus-smallprint I know, right? Society goes on and on about “inclusion” nonsense, and all the while ignore the people who really should be included.

In video games, especially first-person ones such as shooters or Minecraft-type, I can kinda understand because most people are right-handed and thus game makers design their characters to be…[Read more]

Nope. You did tag me. The notification just got lost and never made it to my inbox somehow.

@ellette-giselle

Here is something from a document I found helpful for coming up with blurbs.

Five-Sentence Story

 

1.      The balance: the normal world. What is normal? Who is our hero? What does he normally do? Suzy walks down the street with her dog.

2.     The unbalance: something happens that upsets the normal world. It must be an event…

Okay, I did not end up going today.

@ellette-giselle, @keilah-h

OH MY GOODNESS!! I love the picture! I think that’s your best one yet!!! – Ellette

wow great picture!!! – Keilah

Thanks! That is my most recent TNPT drawing.

Oh goodness. I dislike germaphobic guys. 😛

Oh. *Goes to wash hands for 45th time today – Reason: touched the ‘W’ key for t…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ooh, Friedrich sounds good. Also congrats on winning!

@ellette-giselle

Picture of Eric added. Fun fact: All of my characters are me in some way, but Eric is probably the most similar to me personality-wise (Which is not entirely a good thing). He also is the character that looks the most like me.

@ellette-giselle

Hmm, is procrastination a character trait? If I’m reading the above right it is. Since that is so, Alan (and maybe Martha) can get a little annoyed at the fact that he’s not taking this whole thing seriously.

Yup, I don’t think determined and heroic Alan is going to like Eric much at first.

How old is he? I’m picturing someo…

@ellette-giselle

Is it? That one ALWAYS gets me. I can never figure out a way to remember which is which. grrr. Grammar is gonna kill me. Btw, I can’t get over the fact that we keep correcting each others grammar. lol 

That’s the whole point of getting others to read it. Sometimes someone else can see your grammatical errors better than you ca…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Okay. The problem I am having is that I am introducing a character who is supposed to be laid back, indecisive, and put things off (he is Martha’s brother, Eric). However, since he is supposed to lead Alan to his father, he comes across as more decisive than he really is, and sure, he might be more decisive at times, but it gives…[Read more]
