@Daeus CONGRATULATIONS! *showers you with leaves and flowers and chocolate chips and anything else no one has thought of before* How long is it?

Signing out. I got…er, I can’t remember where I started. Maybe 400 or so.

@that_writer_girl_99 @winter-rose Well, I’m just wrapping up, but I’ll be on here for another ten minutes or so.

Okay. So…I guess…I need to come up with how I want Kara’s character to progress, and then outline it from there?

@That_Writer_Girl_99 yep. Sounds like a plan. I’m here if you have any questions. I’ll try my best to answer. 😉 And sure, go ahead and post it, or do a link to a google doc or something. 🙂

@That_Writer_Girl_99 yep. Not being duplicitous in the least. That was totally a compliment and should totally be taken at face value. You’re doing great. Your thoughts probably feel jumbled in your head because expressing them on paper (and to someone else) is so much more organized it helps you think straighter. 😉

OH MY GOODNESS @ETHRYNDAL, YOU DON’T JUST PRAISE PEOPLE TO THEIR FACES! XD

*can’t stop grinning* You have so totally got this, Elizabeth. It would be completely fine for her to come to grips with Blake’s truth and then spend the rest of the story deciding what she’s going to do about it. But I would be wary of that happening right away. That’s…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 here I am! Thanks for your patience. 😉

Very good thing to start talking about, yes. Blake’s should probably be flat; correct. As for Kara, I’m thinking it’s going to be a bit of a mix between a disillusionment arc and a positive change arc.

What’s a disillusionment arc? Well… it’s a positive change arc. But instead of…[Read more]

@christi-eaton Do you need anything from me for the social media posts?

@dragon-snapper Only some transcendentalism???

Oh, yes. Here is the link too. http://kingdompen.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4dd68444205bfc269d1b96743&id=dd0c17e669&e=5a6b0ff856

@dragon-snapper @graciegirl @that_writer_girl_99 @jess @winter-rose I’ll be writing for an hour if you want to join.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 not a problem. 🙂

And… I really couldn’t tell you. It depends entirely on how long you want your story to be and how long it takes for you to properly cover all the different twists and various aspects of the plot. Intuition is my surest guide here, speaking personally— so long as the midpoint generally falls in the…[Read more]

Okay Elizabeth, here I am again. 😀

The next plot point is the Midpoint. This is where Kara transitions from reacting to the events of the story to actively pushing the story herself. Which means she needs to settle on what basic EiL she’s going to side with and start fighting for. She’s not going to think it out in so many words (‘I believe…[Read more]

@Daeus YES! A chance to rant! *rubs hands* Where to begin…?

The forum specifically has been a place of great comfort to me as it’s full of people who think the same way I do and speak the same mental language. Just knowing there are other people like me out there is so meaningful, even setting aside the help we’re able to give each other by…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy @dragon-snapper @that_writer_girl_99 @dragon-snapper @winter-rose @graciegirl @northerner @jess @hope @anyone-else

@princessfoo And now for the long delayed response. So sorry. I just completely kept putting this off. Not anymore!

As for your character, here are just a couple pointers. Often I’ve seen that characters who are quieter and have a lot of problems tend to be weak and not very attractive. This totally does not need to be the case, but it can be if…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 my pleasure. And really, it’s good for me as well. It helps me solidify and become more skillful with the things I’ve learned if I try to teach them. 😉

Okay… signing out now… have a lovely evening. 😉
