@Aratrea Zikers! Thanks for the rundown. 😀

I’ve noticed that there seems to be distinct types of ‘basic’ villains, but I’ve never been able to put my finger on the differences. It is very helpful to have it all explained so clearly.

Right now, Z (unfortunately) sounds like a tester, but from those descriptions, I like the sound of a tempter…[Read more]

@graciegirl @that_writer_girl_99 @dragon-snapper I’ll be writing tonight like ususal.

@Hope I think that may be where I’m working against myself. I have several plausible things for Z to believe in, and thus, plenty of motives, but because I don’t condone the extremes he will go to to achieve these goals, I have a hard time viewing his motives as believable. I’ve realized that I rely heavily on being able to relate to my…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 Luke did have some good moments. I especially loved the twist where he was the hero in the prophecy. It put a fun spin on things. 😀
I haven’t read the Door Within series, but that is an interesting idea to study the origins of Satan and find the basis of evil.
Ah! Yes, Moriarty! He is one of my favorite villains of all time.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I forgot about Conner! Yes, he was a most satisfactory antagonist. And Mother Gothel, yeah, gotta love her them song! It’s so much fun. 😀 I really liked her as a bad guy too, I actually felt disappointed when she died. 🙁

Anyway, thanks for bringing these specimens to my attention! *rubs hands together evilly* 😉

@graciegirl Hmm…villains. *que maniacal laugh*
@corissa-maiden-of-praise Umm…didn’t @hope write the Shadows of Hersweald? 😛
Anyway, my favorite villains are the following.
Bevin Conner from the False Prince: He has a calm demeanor and is very cunning, and will do anything to get what he wants. He doesn’t like to get his hands dirty. Also,…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper You ought to be able to write one in about a month. Less if you’re dedicated. My novella was ten chapters and 20,000-22,000 words — I can’t remember exactly.

Once you have your document totally ready, you can seriously publish it in like an hour. If you want to do a paperback too, that’s a bit more work, but it’s not too bad.

@winter-rose lol. I have yet to pick a title.

@that_writer_girl_99 @ethryndal Well, if it’s any consolation, we have a recording of it.

@winter-rose Don’t worry, I meant restitution as in, I would pay for I’ll the chairs I’d ruined. 😛

Erp. I missed it. Again. *growls in fierce annoyance*

@That_writer_girl_99 Sure thing! I’ll be praying for all of you.

@that_writer_girl_99 I must be gettin to my Spanish class. Thanks for writing!

@graciegirl @that_writer_girl_99 Ok, I’m done now. I finished editing my first chapter.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 If you can keep your stories a manageable size then good for you. You’ll save yourself so much time and effort. 😛

@That_Writer_Girl_99 good work. Really, you’re off to a great start kicking your story into action. That’s something I had to learn the hard way— how to start a story and keep the pace from the very first sentence. You’re doing great.

The few things I do wanna mention are more ways you could improve the prose itself than for the structure of…[Read more]

@graciegirl I’m editing now, so I’ll join in the fun.

@that_writer_girl_99 @dragon-snapper @kate-Flournoy @daeus @winter-rose Who’s up for some writing? I had the most amazing idea on how to fix some issues with my WIP and I am super jazzed to get to work! I’ll be on till about 4.
