Exactly!! XD I feel like I have such an awkward relationship with my characters because, while I love them, I’m responsible for them suffering all the time… *sigh* But I guess that only makes the happy ending more happier, so it isn’t all terrible.

And no, it wasn’t messy at all! I understood it perfectly, and *gasps* I adore…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Of course!! Your posts are always helpful!! 🙂 Yay, finally I don’t have to edit all the time! *Whew!* That sounds bad, but I’m a nut when it comes to editing right after I type, so it feels good to ditch that for a while and focus on getting new words down instead. I’m glad you’re looking forward to it, too! I’m super optimistic about…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

NP! It’s perfectly fine and honestly, it didn’t take you all that long.
*Wipes perspiration from forehead* Whew! I’m glad that it was helpful!
And YES! This is one sport where making messes is highly encouraged because you never know what awesome stuff can become of it! 😀 And one of the few rules that WriMo has is no editing…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

So true, (but I don’t think they believe me *sigh* oh well, I guess that it’s just a tradition for writers and their characters to be on these kind of terms XD ).
Thank you! Looking back, the post looks a little messy, but yep, wolves play a lot of roles in the novel, (defeinetly an intense scene. But it’s written as a flashback…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Well, I’m in the middle of The Brothers Karamazov, and I haven’t quite finished it yet, so… Other than that, excluding all the manga and books I’ve read for school, the last book I read was… The Summer of the Swans, by Betsy Byars. It won a Newberry Medal. My favorite thing was how nostalgic I felt reading it. The copy I have i…[Read more]

@Abigail-m

I’m so very sorry it took me this long to reply, but I just finished reading this and this was absolutely wonderful advice! Thank you so much for compiling these tips for me, because, as a beginner, I’m accepting of any advice on how to survive my first NaNoWriMo. I loved every point!

And that was very reassuring to know that it’s…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Oooh, great! I did start the first chapter already, and… before I go on, let me just say OH MY GOSH GRACE YOU’RE SUCH A TALENTED WRITER! I seriously love everything about it so far, and please don’t take my lack of reading as a sign I haven’t enjoyed it. My schedule is really busy, that’s all. But I can’t wait to meet him 🙂

And…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Thank you!:) I know… my characters would hate me if they knew everything I’ve put them through… *sigh* but it’s for their own good in the end!

Whoa, that backstory is so interesting!! I had no idea that’s how (yikes, a wolf sounds intense)!! And I love the idea of the trials in order to become a warrior–I can just smell the…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

So very true. 🙂

@devastate-lasting

Ooh, I love that! “Frost day”, that’s so poetic:)  Yeah, that is cool that we both have Adrain characters! 😀

@writerlexi1216

Aww, that’s so sad and utterly adorable at the same time!
*High fives also*… I don’t think characters understand why we writers high-five about their scars, *sigh,* it’s hard explaining plot development to them… XD
Mejia got hers during her three-year trials in becoming a warrior and was from the claw of a white wolf that she…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Awesome topic!  Well, the first story I ever wrote (called “The Terres of the Man”) was about three animals: Wanna (I mean, what the heck??? XD) the horse, Carrie the anteater, and Joe the frog.  There is a “Mean Man” who kidnaps Joe and brings him to his cave, which is a “terres” in case anyone is interested. 🤦‍♀️  Wanna and Ca…[Read more]

@buildsbygideon Hey, that’s super cool! Yeah, I do that too lol. I’m really inclined towards other languages for some reason, I just love learning them or translating phrases, even. For a school project, I’m learning Japanese, and for a li’l mini project my mom wants me to learn how to say something (about like a paragraph of info-length) in…[Read more]

@issawriter7 YAY!!!!! I’m so glad to hear!!!! <3333 Maybe over the course of the challenge you’ll be able to work up to 1k by the end of the week if you have the time!! <333333 I’m proud of you, girl!!!

@buildsbygideon No problem! I most certainly will! 🙂

@abigail-m Ah thank you! Shuangzhou means “frost day” in Chinese. And it’s so cool that you have a character named Adrian too!

@abigail-m

YES, and it’s so sweet/sad! Newton’s always worried that Caira’s ashamed of him because he feels like everyone else was, so it’s hard for him to believe that she would accept him for the way he is 🙁 He’s so adorable… XD Yeah, he does! I think it’ll be in the second/third book, though. Oh, really? Another character with a scar!…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Yay!! Good, Billy deserves to have his day made. And YES, I understand the whole ‘characters suffering’ all too well… *sigh* He sounds very interesting, though! And I can’t wait to meet him in your books! 🙂

THANK YOU for saying that! I’m very glad you like it, because I was kinda wanting to keep it but also didn’t know if I should.…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

In answer to your question, yep! I have a couple of characters like that, but they’re in the backdrops for the most part. Specifically, Dimitri Danilovich and Adrik Rogozin, who is secondary and the other only spoken from memory.

@writerlexi1216

Newton worries about embarrassing Caira with his stutter?! Great… just great… now I have a whole new bunch of fangirling to do about them XD
And when @Gracie-j‘s done borrowing them, can I have a turn?
*Gasps* Deek gets a scar?! Yikes and wow at the same time! Mejia has one too, but it’s only about three inches long on the…[Read more]
