@bluejay Ooo, I like the story idea! And like @christi-eaton said, it does remind me a bit of Inkheart. 🙂 You will let me read it when you’re finished, won’t you? 😉

@julia-r I didn’t see this until after 9/11, but thanks for the reminder. It is so unbelievably sad for me (and I didn’t know anyone who died), but I can’t imagine what the families and friends of 9/11 victims must be feeling at this time of year. 🙁 :'(

@clairec It’s so true! My “mum” (I’m American, so I spell it “mom,” but I like the sound of “mum” more, for some reason… 😛 ) does so much for me, and I often take it for granted. 😉 Glad you’re able to sort out your plot and everything!

I am restless fromI would rewrite the last line in this stanza. I know it’s hard (believe me, I know) when you’re trying to find rhymes, but I think a different rhyme with “overcome” w…[Read more]

@Julia-R
My grandparents live in Michigan, and my mom and dad went to Mackinac Island for their anniversary one year (I’m @ingridrd‘s sister 😉 ). I personally have never been there, but I’d love to go sometime. 🙂
Awesome choices for Disney characters! Rey and Rapunzel are both great characters.
Ooo, I love watercolor and acrylics, too! I’m…[Read more] -

It’s nice to meet you. 🙂 That’s cool that you’re into science and engineering. I’m not much good with either. 😛 Action and adventure stories are awesome!

@julia-r
Write a story about a PRINCESS who turns into a frog and she needs to get a PRINCE to kiss her to turn back into a person. I don’t know if that’s a good dare or not, but you like Disney, and that’s the best I could do. 😉 -

@Jess
I’ve never written a script before, but I act. My advice is to create natural dialogue because that’s all you can write. Script writing in some ways is harder than writing a story because you can’t use any descriptions besides stage directions, though, on the other hand, writing dialogue is the easiest thing to write, at least for…[Read more] -

@Daeus
Really? No killing allowed? I thought this topic would be fun. Just kidding. 😉 😛@anna-brie
I agree about some names sounding ridiculous, especially if the story is set in another world. If the story is in another world, the names should be unique, but not…too unique. Like Farentobiolis (I just made that up; it’s pronounced…[Read more] -
Greta replied to the topic How naming affects characterization in the forum Characters 8 years, 9 months ago
It’s great fun how sometimes a name and a character just completely click. Sometimes, before I even name the character, I know what letter his name has to start with because it’s ‘his’ letter, so I brainstorm names that begin with that letter.
@kate-flournoy I do the SAME thing! For some reason, I usually have a character “letter” in mind.…[Read more]
