@alia  It’s going okay. It’s hard not to overuse verbs of being though! My teacher found billions! Personally I don’t find much wrong with verbs of being, but…. *shrug* 🙂

I love it when characters do that! It’s a good change! 😀

@supermonkey42  Oh they are called droids , aren’t they? They are! I forgot and thought they were called “drones!” Alright, I’ll do that! Thanks!

@alia Thank you! What! You don’t like Harry Potter??

Mmmmmm! *pounces in ice cream* How are you, @alia?

Hi, @seekjustice! How are you doing?

Anyone want to accompany a poor little wolf-woman who’s revising a complicated school essay? 😛

@catwing  @perfectfifths

No it’s not…

“You expect us to swim there?!”

“I expect you to trust me!”

@supermonkey42  @sam-kowal  What were your favorite Tree House books? I likes that magical saga about… Oh, it was a wand, and they were trying to find happiness for a magician (I forgot his name!) who lived in Camelot. And there were certain rules one had to follow in order for the wand to work.

@catwing  The Incredibles!!!!!!!! *dances around at Pixar reference*

@catwing  Wow… Nice list! I actually meant writing weaknesses — considering writer’s block. *gives nervous smile*  But thank you!!

@dragon-snapper

Yes! Have two villains! Have three! Have four!

Ok, maybe don’t take it that far…

But, more than one villain is often a good idea. It keeps your protagonist on his toes. And, you know those crazy authors, they just want to make everything so hard for the hero. Not nice writerses.

@Dragon-Snapper YAS. THE MORE VILLAINS THE BETTER.

*coughs* Okay, maybe not always… but personally, since I write sprawlingly epic books with dozens of thematic threads and plotlines apiece, I usually have at least two villains. One is usually the head bad guy, but giving him an evil sidekick doesn’t hurt.

@daughteroftheking  @ingridrd  @alia  Thank you all! She appreciates it! 😉

@dragon-snapper Sure, though you shouldn’t just stick two stories in one book. The two villains need to have the same goal or attack the same weakness in the protagonist or do anything else that keeps the story coherent.

Thanks for the input guys! 😀

@kate-flournoy @daeus I tagged Kate because I knew she wrote fantasy…I just didn’t stop to consider how long the fantasy was. 😉 My mistake. Haha.

Tagses!
