I am using Save the Cat, and yes. I am a plotter. Most of my ideas come at night too! Maybe that’s just how they work. *Shrug*

I’ll probably try that and at least see where it takes me. Hopefully it’ll get me writing again, instead of ignoring the utter chaos of my characters’ lives. Thanks for the advice!

@godlyfantasy12

Well, his problem right now is basically that I don’t know what happens in his climax. Or much of the rest of his story.  I mean, I know scenes and some plot points, but the beats after the mid point are all sort of…foggy.

I’ve been working a bit on him, which is why I even have a midpoint, but even so I can’t seem to get the…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I’m on! I also need to do dishes, but I’ll be checking in a bunch.

Vulkasin…he wouldn’t tell me his story. Maybe that’s my fault for not working with him much, but it just wouldn’t come out. I’m making a little progress right now, so hopefully he’ll get on paper easier soon.

But yeah. He’s been a problem.

And anyone reading…[Read more]

Ах! Сестра, you don’t know how happy you made me, seeing Cyrillic in a conversation. Or rather you probably do, you being a language learner yourself… *Happy sigh*

I think practically any writing takes some form of research.

I shall definitely have to check her out. Most of what I know of what’s going on I’ve heard from a mission…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

You’re fine. XD

I understand. There’s a few things I haven’t talked about much as I’m still figuring them out.

Like Vulka’s character arc. *Sigh*

@felicity

My own research? Who, me? *Dramatically points to myself*

Hehehe…I’m supposed to be writing fantasy…they said I didn’t need a lot of real life knowledge… *Hides stack of books behind my back*

Seriously though, digging around in stuff is one of my all time favorite pastimes.

*Smiles*

*Trips over stack of plot cards I was…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Um….Okay.

Those are really weird. I mean, I’m used to Scottish folklore, but that was…interesting.

@esther-c

Thanks! I love them too.

@godlyfantasy12

I love him, or, uh, it!

O.O okay. I won’t ask…yet.

And that was way long, but whatever. XD

@godlyfantasy12

Oooo, yes! Interesting character types!

The knettel is an animal similar to a fox, a cat, and snake all mixed together.

Appearance: usually a reddish brown although some can be a dark slate blue-black. Only about eight inches sitting up, the knettel is around two feet from nose to tail (the tail being the longest, fluffy eat fox…[Read more]

@felicity

Hmm…I think I’d have them escape a few days after Russia invades, that way you can show a glimpse of what it’s like, but not take it too far or make it too long.

Reliable info on Russia in modern day is a little difficult to find, and unbiased info is practically impossible. If you need help with research I’d be glad to join in.

I…[Read more]

@sarafini

Go to your profile. There should be a place under your picture that says “What’s new Sarafini?”

Press on the text box underneath and type what you want to say. Then post it when your ready.

@godlyfantasy12

Maybe I should check that out. My dad loves Dickens, and he was a really neat author but, um…

I can’t stand his books.

So maybe that’ll help… XD

@godlyfantasy12

Those are really good! I can’t wait to see how they turn out. (Like, I really want to read your books.)

And yes! Another character driven writer! For a while I just couldn’t get my stories on paper untill I realized I didn’t know my characters. Now…they may be taking over my life.

@mineralizedwritings

I hope so. XD

It’s for my entire series, so hopefully I can develop each fully in their books (two MCs per book). We shall see.

@mineralizedwritings

Oh, those are good!

I have a lot. For each character. XD

Zlatan: doing what’s right no matter the consequences, courage in spite of fear, God’s mercy is everlasting and His blood covers all sins.

Vulkasin: obedience is better than sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of rams, love your neighbor as yourself, greatness is…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings @lightoverdarkness6 @elishavet-pidyon @godlyfantasy12

So! What are everyone’s MC’s themes?

@felicity

*Loud, stormy applause*

Not all writing is words on paper. I’m a bit of a plotter, so I’ve been working of my character’s arcs and story plot. (Thee book Save the Cat Writes a Novel is wonderful help on that score) or at least that’s what I tell myself.

I’ve also just finished college finals for the year, so that’s a relief on time.…[Read more]
