Hope Ann replied to the topic Delayed Character Arcs in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
I’ve never seen Over the Hedge, but I have seen Megamind. I must say I love the movie, mainly because of the humor. And I liked Megamind even when he was bad. Anyway, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it, but I do think there is some character development through the movie. You can see him softening as he’s with Roxanna, though he’s trying to get…[Read more]

How many actors do you have? And what sort of costumes and props?

Hope Ann replied to the topic My Latest Short Story in the forum Short Story Critiques 8 years, 9 months ago
@the-happy-bookaholic Did you contact me through my blog? Because if you did I didn’t get it…which means my contact form isn’t working again. Which is strange, because I did test it…but I might need to go fix or change it.

Hope Ann replied to the topic What does my villain want? in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 9 months ago
Hmm, that’s something I’ll have to consider. So far I’d only thought about birds in the terms of being used for spies, kind of like the Crublin or whatever in LOTR. Messenger Falcons are the only birds with personalities, the others just do as they’re told. But maybe I could weave the birds into normal life somehow, giving them something to do…[Read more]

Hope Ann replied to the topic What does my villain want? in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 9 months ago
The theme of this story is joy, which works well with singing. The twins don’t have any superpowers (besides being able to talk to animals) but their song probably has some sort of power in it. Either to control birds or summon birds. But what is one supposed to do with a bunch of birds? I have the idea of birds stuck in my mind, but I don’t know…[Read more]

Hope Ann started the topic What does my villain want? in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 9 months ago
I’m stuck at a point in my Rapunzel story and have got really good help here before, so I decided to see if anyone had any ideas today.
Basically, I’m trying to figure out what is motivating my villain. The main bad guy is a rebel against the Prince and wants power. The secondary bad guy of this story, who is the main bad guy in relation to my…[Read more]

Same here…you can just contact me through my contact form of my website and we can go from there, if that’s not to much trouble. 😉

@bluejay I got your captions. 😉 I got your comment too. Basically, I have my blog set so I need to approve the first comment someone makes (which I have). After that first time, you can comment and it will go directly to the blog.

I’ll occasionally forget characters as I write. In my trilogy, there was one scene where I had a character in the room, and then when I picked up the scene in the next chapter I forgot he was there and left him out of the whole thing. 😉

Hope Ann replied to the topic Love (mercy) vs. Justice in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
That’s hard…because justice does need to balance mercy. Even God needed justice satisfied (by Jesus’s death); He didn’t just forget all sins because He felt like it. But God forgiving sins and man forgiving or showing mercy in any position is quite different, so I guess it partly depends on how close your allegory is. (Is it allegory?)
If it…[Read more]

Thanks, @bluejay. And no, it’s not just for Americans. Anyone can join. 😉 As to commenting, I don’t think you need to be a member. You can probably comment anonymously; I think you should be able to anyway. Tell me if you have any problems and I’ll try to figure it out. 🙂

Hope Ann replied to the topic Boiled Potatoes from Blue Sky in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
This thread has been quiet for four whole days!
A tough soldier who likes bubble baths (not completely my idea)
A bad guy (or girl) who just annoys people who mess up instead of killing them.
A waterfall that wants to settle down and become a quiet lake. (not sure where that one came from. Maybe the picture on my calendar).

I’ll have to look into that. Thanks. 😉

Hope Ann replied to the topic Female Protagonists in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
I have a hard time creating distinct characters, especially MCs. But one thing which is fun to do, even if I don’t do it as much as I should (and this can go with both male and female characters) is to mix up traits that no one would ever think of together. Kind of like on the boiled potatoes from blue sky thread; have a bad guy who’s afraid of…[Read more]

I know I love the widgets. One of them includes a Mailchimp popup, but I don’t normally like pop-ups on sites I visit, so I’m not going to us it…yet. ; )
I’m not sure how to create a landing page yet. That may be something I’ll need to upgrade for, but I won’t need one until summer. Can you tell me how you do it whenever you do make one, @Daeus.…[Read more]

Never mind about the contact page; I figured that part out.

@Daeus How did you create your contact page? Also, have you made a landing page yet?
