@Jess *high five* Do you know your Ennegram type? Or your MC’s? I’m a 4w5, and my protagonist, Nora, is a 6w5.

@jess @dragon-snapper @graciegirl @winter-rose @that_writer_girl_99 @jane-maree I’m planning to write till 9.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 yep! I shall be graduating this year. *grins**salutes her fellow soon-to-be-graduate*

I struggle with outlining too. But I’m going to try it in earnest with my next project to see if I can speed up some. 😛

That is a good question, yes… where do you want your protagonist to end up? Hm. I don’t wanna put words into your…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’d be happy to try. 😀

@I-J-Anderson thank you… and WOW. *shakes head* I just… no words. 😛

@rachelle @anna-Brie I saw you guys found MBTI a bit unreliable, and I was just wondering if any of you have ever tried using the Enneagram (another personality tool) instead? I found it to be a lot more helpful in regards to characterization. I think the MBTI is better for real life applications, but the Ennegram gives quick insight into the…[Read more]

@Christi-Eaton thanks. 😀 I like trying to capture light… that’s my thing. I really love light. And textures. Sometimes I think I’m getting there. XD

@Aysia-Serene ha! It took me a good long while of practice and observation, that’s how. 😉

@Dragon-Snapper *chokes*

@That_Writer_Girl_99 that’s very much up to you. Some do it completely in their head, some write outlines longer than the work itself. The key thing is to figure out where your MC starts, where you want her by the end, and how you’re going to get her there. Follow the five plot point thingy using your MCs arc as the thing…[Read more]

@ClaireC *raises hand* My vocal range actually has the high end of the soprano and the low end of the mezzosoprano, so I’m not sure what you’d technically call me. 😉 And yes, I do sing… opera? I’m not sure I’d strictly call it opera, but I have several classical songs that I love that could be categorized like that. Voi Che Sapete, for example.…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper yes, that sounds slightly more agreeable. 😉

@That_Writer_Girl_99 oh yes, sorry. I should have clarified that.

@Dragon-Snaper yes, that sounds slightly more agreeable. 😉

@That_Writer_Girl_99 oh yes, sorry. I should have clarified that.

@dragon-snapper @jess @that_writer_girl_99 I got about 600, which is pretty good.

@dragon-snapper I am come!

@Dragon-Snapper considering the history of the Chosen One up to this point I’m not sure I like that idea… XD But thank you for the compliment. 😉

I like it! @kate-flournoy, you have your own unique style and I love seeing it! Great work as always. 😀

Okay guys… interrupting with a piece of art. 😉

@Aysia-Serene @I-J-Anderson remember my character Taren you did sketches of a while back? I tried her again today and got this. I’m not totally happy with it, but I figured I’d share it just the same. 😉

@Dragon-Snapper *freaks out* I wouldn’t know where to start! 😛 Besides… writing a book about it isn’t the same as helping individual people through it. And recently I discovered something about myself— I really like coaching people. Like, really like it. I like watching them grow and seeing things click and then stepping back and watching…[Read more]

@Daeus DO IT. I may hate salespeople and be horrified of selling things myself but for this… I’d do it.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’ll explain character arcs this evening. For now I have to run. 😉

@kate-flournoy Yes, it’s legal. Ideas aren’t copyrighted, only the organization of those ideas. So if you were to create your own course basically copying everything we say, that would be a copyright violation, but pretty much anything less than that is totally fine.

It’s actually good promotion for us. 😛

Some day I’m going to release you on…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 okay so first of all, I read through the posts that I did last night and realized my brain must have been working on a low battery because they were very scattered, so thank you for sticking with me. 😛

How much do you know about character arcs?

And while I wait for you to answer that question, we can have a little talk…[Read more]
