Kate Flournoy

@kate-flournoy I responded to your questions on my excerpt forum, just to let ya know.

Life. Reality. I’m beginning to think that life is a Writer’s worst enemy. @kate-flournoy

@graciegirl The first character of yours that @dragon-snapper listed sounds really interesting! I’m always curious to see how others go about the concept of elementals.

@Kate-Flournoy Take whatever time you need. 😀
Thanks for compiling this list, @dragon-snapper!

@kate-flournoy I love it when there is hope, even in the bad situations in stories. I think it’s something writers nowadays forget too often.

I will start this thing off again by doing Sean. @hope

And to tag our artists, or at least, some of them. 😛 @ethryndal @kate-flournoy @i-j-anderson @christi-eaton @all of you who I can’t remember…

I’ve been babysitting since 9:30 this morning, just got back to my house 15min ago.

Just responded. @kate-flournoy

@kate-flournoy Okay. I think I’ve been thinking about the relationship between plot and characters wrong my entire life. But that’s okay. At least I’m learning the truth now, right? *sighs*

The good news is, it’s starting to make sense. So…to plan out where I want the story to go, it sounds like I need to ask myself how Kara would react to…[Read more]

I love both drawings so much.

Ah, I forgot to respond to your questions on my novel excerpt page… hang on. *flies away* @kate-flournoy

@Christi-eaton You know what? When I saw this, I realized that the girl in your drawing actually looks like a character from my current WIP. I love it! The tattoos on her arm are so unique.

@kate-flournoy Kate. The sketch is AMAZING. Oh my goodness! You are wayyyyy talented! The look in her eyes is spot-on. I can almost sense her shyness and the…[Read more]

Thank you, everyone.

It gives me a joy just to read that. I need to remember it more often. The problem is that I forget my purpose in life, and so any sort of failure seems like a defeat, but really, I’m just here as a tool, so I just need to do my best and God will make it worth while.

You and I are definitely running on the same wavelength h…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I do have to agree with @dragon-snapper 😀

And my characters are a lot the same way, I basically destroyed my character, Beck, both mentally and physically, before she found redemption.

@kate-flournoy One thing I noticed about all your character drawings, is that they all have a sense of hope about them. 🙂

@everyone i can’t believe i missed this topic.

I sing so much. My entire family hates it.

@kate-flournoy Technically, I have no professional training. I have this yearly choir I’m a part of, but that last 5 weeks and I’m in a group of 100+ people. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUt I did figure out I was a soprano through that so that counts.

I sing nonstop.…[Read more]

*pauses* *thinks for a moment* In all honesty, I think all the different terms and elements (no pun intended) being thrown around is really distracting me. Can we talk about plot? And character arcs? But relating to Kara and no one else?

I’m very, very overwhelmed right now. By everything you’re saying…by my complete lack of knowledge on this…[Read more]

It’s…a little vague, to be honest. I feel like I’m slowly falling into a sea of ideas and forgetting how to swim in the process. @kate-flournoy

I’m a little daunted by the fact that I have absolutely no ideas when it comes to the actual plot. Like, I get that plotting the MC’s character arc, and the ones that come alongside it, are important,…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I love it! I really like the shadow of her hood on her face. Very nice detail.

@f5a8c3e92 Here’s Halle. I really like her how her hair turned out, and I realize her face turned out a little crooked, but oh well. :/

@kate-flournoy Do you think you could draw Kara?

Hang on–if we’re the same age, that means you’re graduating this year too, right? @kate-flournoy

That makes sense. I really struggle with outlining, honestly, but I think I’m getting better.
Can we talk about that, actually? I can’t figure out how I want the story to end, which means I don’t know what needs to happen in the middle…
