Julia R.

Hey everyone! Let me try tagging ya’ll @spradlin @theliterarycrusader @winter-rose @overcomer @jess @dragon-snapper @hope @aratrea @clairec @anna-brie @sarah-h

I’m seeing a lot of new faces. Not a lot of the people I used to interact with when the forum began, though. Kind of sad. And happy.

So it seems like people here like the Hero’s Journey,…[Read more]

Sure will. @theliterarycrusader @bluejay @claireC @Anna-Brie @overcomer @gretald @jess @timothy-young @dragon-snapper @julia-r @hislittlerose @spradlin @hannah-c @winter-rose @graciekry @aratrea @everyone-else-that-I-missed.

I’ve actually only heard of the Three Act Structure, so I didn’t have the luxury of picking favorites. I’d rather keep…[Read more]

Complicated is definitely cool, @julia-r and @jess . 🙂

That’s great, @Julia-r! Complicated can be cool. 😛

@julia-r, Don’t worry to much about where to start and end chapters. They nearly always vary in length from author to author. Stop when it feels like a break. I find that about 4000 works for me. What’s your story about?

I remember with my first story I didn’t chapter it at first either, but you’re still getting used to the ropes and stuff! Have fun!
Speaking of which, I’ve got to go now. Hope you understand the writer’s corner better now! @Julia-r

@jess @Julia-r
Yay, Character arcs! Thanks for the links!
I wrote 1056 words in that time, and I reached chapter 19. How about you @Julia-r?

@dragon-snapper, @julia-r, I have to go know. I mostly worked on character arcs. (and thanks for the name suggestions dragon-snapper) I found two good articles that you might want to check out:

Si! Hasta la vista! @jess @Julia-r

Welcome to the realm of writing, my unicorn friend! @jess Both of you, I’m starting now. @Julia-r

Oo ooh ooh! Can I join you? @dragon-snapper, @Julia-r

Oh, silly me. It doesn’t have to be for an hour, it can really be for however long you want it. Half an hour sounds coolio with me. Start now? @Julia-r

@Julia-r Ah, you found it! Welcome to the writers’ corner, where writers from all over the world find a time when they write at the exact same time to avoid distraction. So, say I asked you to write for an hour, we would write for an hour then meet back here to touch base, see how many words we wrote and compare. It’s more of an accountability…[Read more]

Hello @Julia-R and welcome to Kingdom Pen! It is a wonderful place and full of surprises!
Like you I love art, Disney, and travel. Though I haven’t done much traveling yet I do have big plans! 🙂 Anyway, welcome!
