Yes that’s it. Well, I got 752 words. How’d you go?

@hannah-c What do you dial when you want the fire brigade?

Santa Clause gets a couple votes every year. It would be a huge constitutional crisis if he ever won.

I think I just discovered who I’m going to vote for.

In all seriousness though, I honestly don’t know. If there’s a reasonably 3rd party candidate, I’ll likely vote for them. Or I might write in someone like Ted Cruz. I’ve one friend who said…[Read more]

@reaganramm That’s hard…characterization, perhaps. Tips on how to create real unique characters, both in depth ones for MCs and also flatter ones for secondary and minor characters.

Yippee! I’ll be going to 9. @hannah-c

I’m starting ten minute early so tag me if you can join me now. 🙂 @daeus @kate-flournoy @hannah-c

@reaganramm Ooo, that’s so hard! I would probably choose a course on characterization, plotting, world-building, or showing vs. telling.

I happen to be one of those ‘finifugal’ folks… (Not that I hate endings, but I dread having to write one) I think what frustrates me most about them, is trying to get everything wrapped up so that the reader finally understands every detail and is left with some interesting poignant memory. I’m glad someone started this thread, because I can…[Read more]

Sorry everyone that it’s taken me so long to reply. My life has just been ever so busy lately. *catches breath*

@andry-grace: Thank you!!! I have heard of Johnny Tremain, and I think I may have read it before. If I remember correctly, it was very good. 🙂 I have a lot of WIP right now, but my main one is a novel I’m currently writing called If…[Read more]

I finally got the book! Can’t wait to start reading it! Sorry it’s taken me so long! :O

Dialog for definite. 🙂 My conversations never sound that real. *They sound more like they are in a book rather than really life* 😀

Urgh… yikes, that’s a difficult question. Probably characterization— I don’t struggle with that, but it’s one of those things I feel like I can never study enough of or understand as fully as I should. There’s just so much to learn!
Um… other than that… let’s see… novel structure? Character arcs? (Or would that be in with…[Read more]

597. @daeus Not bad, but not great. Feeling pretty down *sick* today, so my brain and fingers where much slower than normal.

@daeus I’m here. Talk at nine. 🙂

@Christi-Eaton Hahaha, that’s hilarious!

Wow, am I late or what?! *eats cookie* But I’m like most everyone else: I don’t have much to add. But you all have some very good points, I can say that. 😉
@hope, Well I haven’t written an ending of a novel yet (obviously because I’ve never finished one. Duh! 😛 ) but I do like endings/last lines that sorta just sum up the whole book, or else…[Read more]

@ingridrd Well, they don’t always have to be cliffhangers. I’ve notice with trilogies that, quite often, the first book ends fairly well. You know there is more to come, but it ends with the main point concluded. The second book ends in a cliffhanger and the third book completes it.
