Love it!!!!!!!

@That_Writer_Girl_99 um, great I think! ;P I’m wading through the latter end of the climax in my WIP, and though there’s a lot of work still to be done I’m very happy with what I’ve accomplished, which is a lot coming from a perfectionist like me. 😉
And life is… life. Very rarely will you catch me having a bad time of it… probably because…[Read more]

Yes. That makes total sense. 😛

@That_Writer_Girl_99

@That_Writer_Girl_99 well, themes can certainly shift. It’s happened to me before. 😛 If you keep having that feeling, don’t be afraid to play around with it and figure out what’s off and whether you can fix it or just want to go with something else.

That’s great!

And no, it’s not. I’m sure this series is going to be awesome too, but what I…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 nope, looks great! I love the different facets of Matthias’ personality. 😀

As for Blake… I really think you want him inside the prison. That brings the battle directly to Kara where she is right now and sets the whole place in an uproar as conflicting beliefs and agendas collide all over about what to do with him. This…[Read more]

@emily-d I did NaNoWriMo for the first time last year, though I’d done some camps before that. It’s a great way to get a lot done on a single project and it’s fun to be working with others with similar goals. The one major tip I would give is to figure out beforehand how much you need to do each day to get done in the month. That way you can work…[Read more]

@His-Instrument I like the book the best. I never really cared for the Charlton Heston Ben-Hur, though I did like the newer version. The ending I felt was a bit rushed, but I did like the changes they made, especially with the Judah/Messala storyline.

@His-Instrument the book. Definitely the book. I didn’t care for the Charlton Heston movie (possibly just because I really don’t like Charlton Heston) and I haven’t seen the newer one, but my parents saw it and said it was nothing special.
I love the book though. It’s definitely worth reading, even reading again, which is high praise for a book…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 yeah, I like the movies, but they have absolutely nothing on the books. I’d really recommend you read them. I won’t say they’re perfect but since I’m a writer I don’t think I’ll ever find a perfect book and those come pretty close.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 have you read it???

@Ethryndal *eyes you proudly and silently hands you Tolkien Award*

@His-Instrument well @Ethryndal and I discovered recently that I’m Luthien Tinuviel and I have dark hair but I’m not from Rivendell. 😀 The Girdle of Mellian, I think… 😉

@That_Writer_Girl_99 that is a GREAT midpoint. So right now what you’re looking for seems to be a first plot point— where Kara commits to action. What about Blake? Was he taken in the fight with the Catastrophes? Or did he use it as a distraction to infiltrate the prison and get caught or something? If that’s the case Matthias could have gotten…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 perhaps you should try mapping out Kara’s arc in detail and going from there?

@anne-of-lothlorien I really like the present tense in this. *waits for random answer*

@Aratrea lol

All right @That_Writer_Girl_99 read through the document, and left a comment in one place, but otherwise you did good. 😀 You’re handling Matthias with more subtlety. *thumbs up*

Have you figured out your plot problems? Any way I can help you?

@BethanySinkyRoses welcome aboard, new KeePer! 😀 Look forward to seeing you around.

(@aratrea I hope you know that profile picture makes you impossible to take seriously. XD)

@That_Writer_Girl_99 no, you’re doing and have done great. Just last I checked you were having problems with the plot, and that’s the one thing that really hangs me up when I struggle with that.
*cough* I suppose you can ignore that bit of advice then. 😉

@That_Writer_Girl_99 quick tip: look at your different character motivations. Each character is the hero of his or her own story. What are they aiming for? What is it they want? Kara’s not going to be the only one moving the plot. Each person’s life is an entire story. You chose to tell those stories through Kara’s eyes, but they’re still separate…[Read more]
