@aislinn-mollisong First of all, I just read your prophecy and had to say you did a great job with it.

As for writing in first person, I think that could work great. Of course, third person could work great too. I’d recommend trying them both out and seeing which one you like better.

@livylynn I have self-published once.

When I first started writing, I really wanted to be traditionally published, but I eventually did a 180. The reason was simple. Since I was a beginning author, publishers would want to see my platform before they published me. And if I already had a platform, why not self-publish? After all, self-publishing…[Read more]

This doesn’t have to do with being a writer, but the problems I have as a writer when I have a writer fail moment.
ME: What color hair does this character have?
SIBLING: I don’t know. Depending on the scene, it varies from black to blonde.

XD I’ve never had a character who can change hair color from scene to scene.

@epicaddie2 Byeeeeeeeeeee!! XD

@epicaddie2 Not from what I know of. If you’re worried that the character arc isn’t going to fit in your book, then I’d shorten it, but the characters is what carries your story. The character arc should not be immediate or too small. Character arcs can last for a few books maybe too, if its a major life aspect.

But if you think about, our lives…[Read more]

@livylynn Yes, you definitely need to go again. They’ve added a lot of new attractions. However, if you are a Star Wars fan, I recommend postponing your trip until the new Star Wars area is opened in Hollywood Studios (if you can wait that long). 😉 If you ever need any DW tips, let me know, I have loads of them.

@that_writer_girl_99 I will humbly acknowledge that Kate probably has a much better answer than me, but I don’t see your dilemma as a huge problem unless you want the warden to be a pure character. You can just depict him as a character in a very complex situation who doesn’t like what he’s doing, but doesn’t know what other choices he has.

@gh24682468999 I support what @perfectfifths said. It sounds though like your main problem is not that you aren’t showing reactions, but that you feel like you have too many and it’s cluttering your prose.

I assume you’re using action tags (i.e. Sam put on his glasses. “Don’t I look cool in these?”)

Action tags are extremely helpful to a story.…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Welcome!
@that_writer_Girl_99 Motion Picture class? That sounds like so much fun! I’ve looked into scriptwriting before, and yeah, the format is odd. I find Times Roman much more friendly. 😛

@salome01w4g @daeus @that_writer_Girl_99 @catwing @epicaddie2 I’m writing now, and might do some editing later, but whoever wants to join me…

@salome01w4g @catwing Welp, I’m signing out now. I wrote 1030!

And thank you so much for the popcorn and ice cream! He helped me get past the really really really really really dry chapter/scene! 😀

@salome01w4g Popcorn!! Popcorn and swords! Give me!

@salome01w4g Swords!!!

Man, I kinda miss those.

@catwing Hiya!

I will take the ice cream!

@seekjustice @daughteroftheking @catwing @daeus @epicaddie2 Me and my headphones are going to force Dragon Snapper to write this terrible chapter.

Who’s with me?

@Mariposa Thanks! 😀 The eyes are my favorite part of that one too.

@Corissa-maiden-of-praise @jane-maree @salome01w4g I love them all!! 😍😍😍

@emily I just browse Pinterest for pictures then use this app Leonardo on my iPad to put them together. 🙂

@Daeus yikes… okay. I’ll see what I can do.
