SeekJustice replied to the topic What's the biggest mistake you made when you first started writing? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years ago
First of all, I completely agree about MacGuffins. They’re not bad, after all, I would argue that LOTR is a reverse-MacGuffin-quest-thing, but they’re often lazy.
Secondly! My worst mistake? I don’t know exactly, but a lot of my early stories and novels suffered from far too many main characters and subplots connected to those…[Read more]

I’ll be around for about 30 more minutes if I don’t get distracted by too much Tchaikovsky

@lewilliams, yours made me laugh
Somehow life wouldn’t be quite the same after all, even though no one would remember.

Alia started the topic Too much? in the forum Fantasy 4 years ago
So I’m starting the second draft of my WIP and I’m wondering if the beginning is just over the top?
Everyone knelt, the white fog weighing heavy around them. Jycin could feel his legs growing stiff in the cool damp air, but he dared not move. They would be coming at any moment, and he didn’t have the luxury of playing with fate.Â
What do y’all…[Read more]

SeekJustice replied to the topic What is your biggest struggle as a writer? (Long rants welcome) in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 1 month ago
Can I just say that I absolutely love the name Tora! It’s actually my dog’s name and I think it’s so cool. Sorry, just had to get that in there 😀 😀 😀
I honestly think my biggest struggle with writing is balancing it with the rest of my life. I have a very all-or-nothing personality and I can go for months without…[Read more]

SeekJustice replied to the topic I Don't Do Dares, but… in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 1 month ago
This looks like so much fun, unfortunately I’ve temporarily misplaced the USB with my first novel on it. I’m actually quite proud of my first novel, cringey and cliche though it may be. I’ll look for my USB and see if I can find it though!

Yes, things are declining, but we don’t have to worry or fret because we can trust in God. 🙂
This also just shows the need for you, and Kingdom Pen, and Christians to get back involved in shaping the culture and our institutions.

Maybe one day Kingdom Pen can create it’s own online software as an alternative to NaNoWriMo.

SeekJustice replied to the topic What are some interesting quirks you have given your characters? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 1 month ago
I have a sort of recurring quirk that in any book where its appropriate (ie, historically or culturally accurate) I have a character that drinks black coffee. I know absolutely no one who drinks black coffee in real life, but I just noticed one day that I did it heaps and now it’s an inside joke for me.
Also a have a lot of…[Read more]

Are you still around, my friend? And if so, what is the Catwing writing at the moment?

SeekJustice replied to the topic Tell Me About Your WIP! in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 1 month ago
Hey, so I wanted to kickstart the conversation here again, so….where did the first spark of inspiration for your story come from?
Just tagging a few people who’ve already commented, but anyone is more than welcome to join in!

Ah fair. Thanks for letting me know. I’m glad you guys are being willing to stand up and make your convictions known. I think that’s something we as younger Christians don’t really do as much and it makes me happy to know that you guys are still willing to go against the flow 🙂

SeekJustice replied to the topic Nano-like writing site in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 1 month ago
Hey, just wanted to ask what’s the thing with dropping NaNoWriMo at the moment? I’m not really active on there through most of the year so if anything wild went down, I definitely haven’t heard of it???
