Wow, @dragon-snapper, you’re making me hungry! 😛

Ok, I fixed my mom’s corrections for three chapters. How’s your story coming? You back from exile yet?

@gabriellemassman Oops, sorry I didn’t clarify this is actually a historical fiction story. I called him a sorcerer because that was the best word that came to mind. He’s actually an apothecary though. Anyway, you made a good answer. This guy is occult, but what I meant is that there’s no scene with him doing any sort of occult practices. It’s…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper *runs in panting* I’m here! *flops down on computer and starts bashing at keys*

@emma-flournoy No, that guy’s very different.

@perfectfifths Sorry I forgot to get back to you. If you could create a google doc and share it with me, that would be the best. I don’t normally prefer that platform for editing books, but I would in this instance.

@hope Got ya. That does make it more difficult, but it sounds like those physical consequences are exactly the right direction you want to be going in for that. 🙂

@Aratrea Right. Physical consequences. I keep picking themes/messages that are mainly internalized, so outward actions are generally good in and of themselves beforehand. Good, but with the wrong reasons behind them. It makes physical consequences (and before and after character actions) a bit tricky.

Although I guess I do have some physical…[Read more]

@hope Wait, you’re saying that you don’t want me to include a lot more of me rambling in the polished version? Hmmm… Interesting. 😉 Haha, and yes, backstories are great. Random facts are good too, especially as a means of expressing unique characterization.

@ethryndal Good point. The ghosts of our past along with the pain we experience at the present is absolutely important in shaping who someone is.

@hope Nice work. Like I mentioned with Audrey, you will also want to think about the physical consequences of these experiments along with the mental consequences to really display poetic justice powerfully. so you may want to work on that. Other than that, these look great!

@hope Sounds great!

@ethryndal Looks like a good basic setup there. Tying back to the theme, would you say your protagonist’s initial Experiment in Living really has to do with the fact that they superior races have more intrinsic worth to them?

Yes; absolutely! Developing Experiments in Living for other characters is crucial to broadening your story’s theme. We will…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Ok, I’m gonna stop now. Got 690 this time.

@draggon-snapper Ok, I’m gonna stop now. Got 690 this time.

@kate-flournoy Nice.
@dragon-snapper Yeah, I’ll probably be here for another half an hour.
