I hadn’t heard of the Mars Diaries before your conversation the other day but I’ll definitely have to look them up now 🙂 they aren’t in the vein of what I usually read, but every now and again its good to read something out of your comfort zone 😀

@alia

No worries. I just rolled with it.

Oh yes! I was stalking the topic the other day and saw that. It sounds pretty cool and reminds me a bit of Ender’s Game.

I definitely think that sort of isolation would be damaging, but maybe not as much as complete isolation. Are they allowed to be friends with each other or do they just exist with each other?

@alia

we’re here for you. 🙂

@seekjustice, I misread what you asked….oops

It’s a new story that I’ve had in my head for a while. Here’s what I told @rochellaine:

Its a sci-fi/dystopian story. The world has been at war for several decades. One of the groups goes around secretly testing kids and then kidnapping the smart ones at 9 to fight as their soldiers. At first the…

@alia

Awesome 😀

I’d do some research, but I’d hazard to guess that the consequences wouldn’t be good. I think it also depends on what sort of isolation it is. Is it isolation from absolutely everyone? Isolation from everyone but one or two select individuals? Isolation from everything except a group (say, a church)?

I think each of those w…[Read more]

@rochellaine, me too!

@seekjustice, Its going pretty well. I’m almost done with the basic outline, so once I’m done with that I have to research the psychological effects of human isolation on children. know anything on that?

@rochellaine

That’s pretty much how it is 😛 It reminds me of when I try to explain musical plots to my family.

@alia

Awesome! What are you outlining?

@valtmy

Oops, I forgot your new job! Maybe I’ll see you later then 😀

@seekjustice, I’m outlining

@rochellaine Got your tag wrong 😀

Anyone around I’m editing my novel/reading a short story for a friend. 😀

I find that writers know how to write the least when they can’t hide behind their characters. But I’ll keep praying for you and I hope God brings you through this time soon. 🙂

@jenwriter17, @rochellaine, @clairec, @seekjustice, @catwing,

thank you all for your prayers. I want to write more about how much they mean to me, but right now I don’t know how to express them. Look at that, a writer can’t write 🙂 . But thank you all so much. It means a lot

@catwing

All right, Catwing, I am here to give you instruction in the way of the glorious character arc.

I’ll try to keep this concise:

So, I feel the trick to Character arcs are these two things. Basically, a character arc can’t just be the character going from A–B. I’ve read books/seen movies where the characters are one way at the start,…[Read more]

@valtmy, alrighty

@valtmy, @rochellaine, I’m gonna have to head to bed now.

@valtmy, congratulations character!

Oh, if y’all ever need to know what it feels like to slowly faint, I can help with that. I didn’t fully lose conciseness, but I think I can describe it fairly well

@rochellaine, @valtmy, what are y’all up to?

@rochellaine, @valtmy, I’m here for a bit

@jenwriter17, no worries. Sibling time is important.
