@c-c-lane Totally serious.

I don’t think the magic will be too hard to get rid of. The only important thing is that Fernix has some dangerous quality that has started a war and that he needs to learn to control.

You could replace this with any number of things, but the one that I’m thinking of and that I think has a lot of potentials is just a…[Read more]

@c-c-lane That’s okay.
@hope Yes! How long would you like to write for? I’d be good for an hour if you want.

@bluejay I’ll be outlining (or staring at the screen attempting to outline my novella) if you’re going to be on…

@C-C-Lane Not plot related, but you don’t have to have magic persay, even if you have what might be considered ‘magical abilities’. Since it’s fantasy, it could be an ability that runs through certain lines and has almost died out or something like that. That would mean the spell part might need a little tweaking…maybe he’s reenacting a legend…[Read more]

@Daeus oh hey! That’s fun. I never really was able to write mystery. :/ All the mystery ended up being completely dumb when I finished it. 😛
If I finished it. I usually dumped it after the first paragraph. 😉

@c-c-lane Do you want to write together in say half an hour? I’ll see if I can make it then.

@kate-flournoy I wrote 536. I’m starting a new Ernest the gardener mystery. I think I’ll do a series of them.

Oh. 🙁 I’m so sorry then. I wish I could stay and race you, but life calls. I’ll be writing at the same time tomorrow night though, if nothing else comes up.

BTW @Daeus I got 1,007 words edited. You?

Well @C-C-Lane, have you been writing, or did you just start? You can count anything you wrote after eight, even if you weren’t specifically racing us.

@kate-flournoy Ok. Good.

@Daeus yup. Been writing since seven. 😉 Be with you till nine, as always.

@kate-flournoy I’m kinda late myself, but are you writing tonight?

@C-C-Lane Maybe we should become critique partners. We sound like polar opposites.

As for what to do, you might consider rewriting it instead of just writing a new story. The chances of it turning out well are better since you already know the world and characters so well, and that could even help you fine tune the conflict. I would just…[Read more]

Look for possible points of conflict in the structure of your world and with your characters, and ask yourself what would happen if those two opposing forces were pitted against each other— or worse, forced to work together against an even greater foe.

@C-C-Lane

@Daeus This is such a cool idea! I’d love to be a part, if I can remember to write characteristics down. 😉

@overcomer I haven’t finished a novel before, so I can’t help much there. Sorry! However, I know exactly how you feel because I’ve felt the same way. I’ve heard that the hardest part of writing a novel is writing the beginning. I don’t know whether you’re a plan-out-the-entire-novel sort of person or a start-from-scratch sort of person or a…[Read more]

@hannah-c Yes, do. I also do chapter outlines and that really helps because then there’s very little to have writer’s block about.

hmm @sarah-h, that’s a good point, but if so, I think the author could have made that clearer.

@overcomer Let’s see, I’ll try to say something new. First of all, you seem to be doubting your very outline. What makes you so unsure of it?

As for the writing, don’t edit along the way (doing writing corner might help with that) and don’t go back and edit. You can change an idea for what’s going to happen later on, but don’t change anything…[Read more]
