@daeus – I personally like the cover the way it is, but that’s just because I like clean graphics 😀 if you do add anything though, I don’t think it needs too much, it looks great!

@daeus – I have a friend who has a “board” called “storyboard: and then the name of her current book she’s writing” – She pins a lot of pictures (like of different scenes in her book, character portrayals, etc.)

I like your idea above about using boards for different characters and they all having the same link going back to your writing.…[Read more]

@dekreel @sam-kowal got it in a nutshell. Basically, if your character starts the book bitter and angry, goes through the plot and comes out having forgiven and learnt to love (or vice versa) that is a character arc. Its just how your character changes through the story.

@sam-kowal  Ahh okay, thanks a lot!

@dekreel It’s your character changing over the course of your story. It’s them learning things, deciding things, being shown things about the world and changing on a deep level because of those things.

Usually, a character arc tracks the curve of how a character becomes a better wiser person over the story, but downward characters arcs can also…[Read more]

Here’s a canvas I painted for my mom:

@gabbyj Yes. 😊 I tried painting about five years ago and I’m so glad I did! I’ve never used oil or watercolor, but I like acrylic.

Do you like to make homemade Christmas cards? 🙂

@jenwriter17 Sad endings are tricky to write, but also a ton of fun. Your character DOESN’T have to succeed in the story goal (if they do, there’s less sadness, in a way), but they SHOULD grow themeatically. If they fail in the goal, but grow and learn and have a great character arc, that will satisfy readers just as much.

@dekreel

You could have them vanish into a portal, and have the person who created the portal kindly tell the remaining characters that the other ones “are perfectly happy” (it’s pretty cliche, but could work 😉 )

You could just have a quick scene where the characters are leaving to fight for other noble causes.

You could have them…[Read more]

@gabbyj 😀 ha, thanks
I’m working on a bunch of projects right now! That are all kind of halted for various reasons
Two or them are short stories about Stan, one of them is a novella about a superhero, and I’m also working on the first book in my main series

😀 I’ve worked on filming a few different projects- two fantasy short films, and a couple…[Read more]

Anyone herrre?

@jenwriter Yes, sad endings can be tough because readers might feel dissapointed- the thing you have to keep in mind, is there has to be some kind of goal achieved at the end to make the story feel worthwhile. So maybe the ending’s very sad, but it has to has glimmerings of hope and accomplishment to it- say, the queen gets kidnapped, the…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I want to say Mr. Peabody & Sherman, but I bet I’m wrong. 😛 XD

@dragon-snapper A Christmas party

@everyone Would you character rather be turned into a dragon for his greed (Eustace Scrubb) or fight a witch that turns into a dragon (Prince Philip).

@alia  I soooo sympathize with you!!! Praying! 😉

@jenwriter17 You’re welcome! I’m glad it makes sense! It looks like mumbo-jumbo to me XD
