Well, his problem right now is basically that I don’t know what happens in his climax. Or much of the rest of his story. I mean, I know scenes and some plot points, but the beats after the mid point are all sort of…foggy.
I’ve been working a bit on him, which is why I even have a midpoint, but even so I can’t seem to get the…[Read more]

I’m on! I also need to do dishes, but I’ll be checking in a bunch.
Vulkasin…he wouldn’t tell me his story. Maybe that’s my fault for not working with him much, but it just wouldn’t come out. I’m making a little progress right now, so hopefully he’ll get on paper easier soon.
But yeah. He’s been a problem.
And anyone reading…[Read more]

Ах! Сестра, you don’t know how happy you made me, seeing Cyrillic in a conversation. Or rather you probably do, you being a language learner yourself… *Happy sigh*
I think practically any writing takes some form of research.
I shall definitely have to check her out. Most of what I know of what’s going on I’ve heard from a mission…[Read more]

You’re fine. XD
I understand. There’s a few things I haven’t talked about much as I’m still figuring them out.
Like Vulka’s character arc. *Sigh*

My own research? Who, me? *Dramatically points to myself*
Hehehe…I’m supposed to be writing fantasy…they said I didn’t need a lot of real life knowledge… *Hides stack of books behind my back*
Seriously though, digging around in stuff is one of my all time favorite pastimes.
*Smiles*
*Trips over stack of plot cards I was…[Read more]

Um….Okay.
Those are really weird. I mean, I’m used to Scottish folklore, but that was…interesting.

Oooo, yes! Interesting character types!
The knettel is an animal similar to a fox, a cat, and snake all mixed together.
Appearance: usually a reddish brown although some can be a dark slate blue-black. Only about eight inches sitting up, the knettel is around two feet from nose to tail (the tail being the longest, fluffy eat fox…[Read more]

Hmm…I think I’d have them escape a few days after Russia invades, that way you can show a glimpse of what it’s like, but not take it too far or make it too long.
Reliable info on Russia in modern day is a little difficult to find, and unbiased info is practically impossible. If you need help with research I’d be glad to join in.

Go to your profile. There should be a place under your picture that says “What’s new Sarafini?”
Press on the text box underneath and type what you want to say. Then post it when your ready.

Maybe I should check that out. My dad loves Dickens, and he was a really neat author but, um…
I can’t stand his books.
So maybe that’ll help… XD

Those are really good! I can’t wait to see how they turn out. (Like, I really want to read your books.)
And yes! Another character driven writer! For a while I just couldn’t get my stories on paper untill I realized I didn’t know my characters. Now…they may be taking over my life.

Koshka replied to the topic I'm giving you permission to rant about your WIP in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 8 months ago
I hope so. XD
It’s for my entire series, so hopefully I can develop each fully in their books (two MCs per book). We shall see.

Oh, those are good!
I have a lot. For each character. XD
Zlatan: doing what’s right no matter the consequences, courage in spite of fear, God’s mercy is everlasting and His blood covers all sins.
Vulkasin: obedience is better than sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of rams, love your neighbor as yourself, greatness is…[Read more]

*Loud, stormy applause*
Not all writing is words on paper. I’m a bit of a plotter, so I’ve been working of my character’s arcs and story plot. (Thee book Save the Cat Writes a Novel is wonderful help on that score) or at least that’s what I tell myself.
I’ve also just finished college finals for the year, so that’s a relief on time.…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon @godlyfantasy12
First of all, that collage is beautiful!
Second, no, my writing has not been coming along very well, although I did start a short story with Zlati and Vulka’s parents. (Yes, I call my characters by their nick names) It’s my first attempt at anything like romance, and I am finally writing it down so I don’t…[Read more]
