*appears with a stack of pizza boxes* I shall join you! @Daeus @GracieGirl

@graciegirl Great.

@graciegirl @that_writer_girl_99 @dragon-snapper I’ll be writing tonight like ususal.

Um… Okay. Thinking.

Luke Castellan from Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson sereies–Luke is ruthless, but he’s also a devious little trickster. He had a believable motive, and his character developed well over time.

Paragor from Wayne Thomas Battson’s Door Within series: Paragor is just plain scary. He also has a backstory that reflects the fall…[Read more]

@graciegirl The way I see it, there are three different approaches you can take with villains: the foil approach, the tempter approach, and the testing ground approach. The foil approach is basically what you mentioned above: make the villain a mirror of the protagonist, or sharing similar qualities to the protagonist. Another way of putting it is…[Read more]

Okay, descriptions. I feel like I’m trying to go back and figure out what I did on a math problem. Only I’m having 10x more fun with it.

How much is too much? How long should the descriptions be? @kate-flournoy

I’ll be writing/editing if anyone is here.

Sounds fun, but I live in Florida. @corissa-maiden-of-praise

Oh my goodness! This is tough. I’ll have to think about it before I can respond properly. That okay?

@graciegirl

@dragon-snapper You ought to be able to write one in about a month. Less if you’re dedicated. My novella was ten chapters and 20,000-22,000 words — I can’t remember exactly.

Once you have your document totally ready, you can seriously publish it in like an hour. If you want to do a paperback too, that’s a bit more work, but it’s not too bad.

@winter-rose lol. I have yet to pick a title.

@that_writer_girl_99 @ethryndal Well, if it’s any consolation, we have a recording of it.

Erp. I missed it. Again. *growls in fierce annoyance*

@That_writer_girl_99 Sure thing! I’ll be praying for all of you.

@graciegirl @that_writer_girl_99 Ok, I’m done now. I finished editing my first chapter.

Oh my goodness, Kate. You’ve given me soooo much to think about and it makes me very, very happy.

Ugh, you’re right. I rely on dialogue and inner expressions way to much. It’s something that I’m trying to fix, and this is the perfect time to start. Use better body language. Got it. I’m not sure why that’s so difficult for me to write…probably…[Read more]

Thank you so much! @christi-eaton

@graciegirl I’m editing now, so I’ll join in the fun.

Good for you! @graciegirl I’m working on an essay right now, but later, when I’m at drama rehearsal, I’ll probably pop in to do some stuff with my WIP.

Thank you both @daeus @kate-flournoy
