@ethryndrl Shhhhhh!!! Why ya gotta go and rat me out for the confetti? *ten pages late*

@That_Writer_Girl_99 *gulp* Um… yes. Apparently I did. I’m sorry… it slips out when I get excited around people I like. 😉

It doesn’t have to be a physical difference at all. The difference you pointed out is perfect. Thing is, you have to realize the way people act is directly tied to their EiLs. Tam and Kara differ there, and that is the…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 YES! Blake also seems like a really, really great opportunity to be an Impact Character. In fact… you could make him the one with the complete thematic truth. That it’s better to face reality than shelter in ignorance. A very unlikely bearer of truth— maybe the reader doesn’t see it at first. But if you give him that, his…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 not a problem. 😀 And if you think this is great… sweetheart. Wait until KP actually releases the Theme Mastery course I learned all this from. I was a beta-tester… it changed my life. YOU MUST HAVE IT. OKAY. (I was not paid for that advertisement. 😉 )

To go about building a story… well… you need to figure out what…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 all right!
*rolls up sleeves* You ready?

Okay. Let’s see how well I can say this.
DISCLAIMER: before we proceed, I just need to remind you (and myself 😛 ) that this is your book and nothing I say should pressure you against your better judgment. I can tend to take over with projects I’m really interested in and I so do not…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Most editors & literary agents I’ve read discourage this, but I’ve seen it done successfully a couple of times. Just as long as only one character has a 1st person POV, I think you could pull that kind of thing off.

@jenali Haha, yes–besides that. 😉 That sounds like a great plan to follow. And that’s fantastic to hear! I’m glad that this course has taught you how to write these kinds of stories, and it’s been a pleasure creating this for you and everyone else who’s been taking it. 🙂

@jenali Got it. Looks good!

@dragon-snapper I agree. It could work. It might be confusing, but I think as long as you clearly establish the POV transition at the beginning of each chapter, I think it should be fine.

@princessfoo Certainly. It’s not easy, but it is doable and you’ll be very glad for the effort. May I ask what it is the characters struggle with?

@Anne-Of-Lothlorien well… here he is. Don’t think he looks right, but just in case…

Actually he ended up uncomfortably like a younger Bilbo. 😛

@princessfoo Neat story concept.

It’s good to have God be part of our stories. It’s not essential or even always the right thing to do, but since he created the world, rules the world, and most stories don’t have Him in them, I think it’s a noble goal.

On the other hand, I’m not a big proponent of making God essentially a character of your…[Read more]

@Anne-Of-Lothlorien I would certainly like to try. I’ll get back to you as soon as I have something. 😉

@Anne-Of_Lothlorien I would certainly like to try. I’ll get back to you as soon as I have something. 😉

I guess I’ll take a break too. I wrote a little over 400.

@winter-rose @that_writer_girl_99 @ethryndal I’m joining in!
