Absolutely, and get your work edited as much as possible. You never know what’s wrong with your story until someone else tells you, but once you have heard the same thing several times, you start to break through the mental barriers and realize in clear terms exactly how you really should be writing.

Hey I just wanna say something really quick.

If you want to write good books, read good books. You can learn twice as much from reading one well-written novel than from reading a dozen books on how to write that kind of novel.

I would not even be writing today if my parents hadn’t seen to it that I had almost endless resources of high quality…[Read more]

I use scrivener. I’m not sure how it compares with Storyist, but I think you can make notes for yourself similar to what you are talking about. Honestly, I hardly use any of scrivener’s features.

Sorry for the delay! It has been approved!

@sarah-h — Glad to be of service!

@dbhgodreigns and @anna-brie — I like that idea! I bet we could add that onto the events/opportunities bulletin that Daeus was talking about!

Awesome! @kate-flournoy It’s a great verse! 🙂

A hangman who always dreamed of making his living as a jester.

And people who aren’t teens anymore. I’m not yet, but I know we have some people over 20.

The first story I worked on had dashing young henchmen. (I didn’t write more than a few pages from random spots though.)

A reigning queen who isn’t evil.
A prince who is evil.

An army of glow worms?

THAT… would be totally creepy. Especially if you had to fight in the dark… *shudder*

I love all the ideas here. ; )

A person who haunts a house of ghosts.

Yes! That is one of my absolute favorite verses, @gretald.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done…

@Daeus I think there are plenty of dashing young Frenchmen. XD

A mentor that’s younger than the hero.

Ooh— and an ugly elf. 😛

A hero with a peg leg, eye-patch, and a golden tooth.

I read, “A dashing young frenchman. There aren’t enough of those.” Haha. Oops.

A dashing young henchman. There aren’t nearly enough of those.
A gentle-giant Fezzik sort of guy who saves the tough-girl action princess.
An unruly queen constantly being reined in by her dignified daughter.
A plain old dumb dog in the place of all the fancy, super-smart dog types that are always the pets.

Love this topic! Great idea, @hope! 🙂
