@That_writer_Girl_99 It works on people, but not elves. 😛

@ethryndal As forum Head of Security I’m going to have to ask you to fix her washer. 😉 😛

@feedingmygoldfish Ah…it’s quite complicated actually. I did some minor singing for a children’s group when I was a lot younger, then for a while I didn’t do much singing. Now, I only sing with guitar. However, I have no training, and I don’t do it regularly either. But there’s a problem when I sing as a dragon. I tend to melt stuff. 😛

@moriahs Ok; cool. I think that you could turn protecting a family heritage into a meaningful plot if you showed why achieving that goal was important to the MC’s personal development. That being said, if your goal with your story is to show the costliness of freedom, I agree that a different central plotline would be better to display that theme.…[Read more]

I shall tag the singers: @kate-flournoy @ethryndal @that_writer_girl_99 @daeus 😛
Now, the Dragon hardly sings. I know nothing about it. 😀

Oh yeah, and she could work at the arm during the day, then maybe have to work at a factory or something at night.

@moriahS If you want her to be taking part in more than just farming, which can be a lot just in itself, then there are several things I can think of from the top of my head. I know that in WWII, women often went to work in factories and other shops because most of the men went to war. They also knit socks and built things for the entire army.…[Read more]

@moriahs Are you looking for additional plot lines because you’re worried that protecting a fortune isn’t meaningful enough to carry a whole plot, or are you looking for additional plot lines because the story is too lean, and it needs more things happening in it? Not sure which you’re wrestling over.

@that_writer_girl_99 I stayed on as long as I could, but I have to sign out now. I wrote 1414 words tonight. Thanks, and good luck!

@that_writer_girl_99 I’ll be on for fifteen more minutes or so.

Alrighty! Another stone on the road to completion–I’ve reached 10,000 words! Yaya!

@dragon-snapper Most editors & literary agents I’ve read discourage this, but I’ve seen it done successfully a couple of times. Just as long as only one character has a 1st person POV, I think you could pull that kind of thing off.

@jenali Haha, yes–besides that. 😉 That sounds like a great plan to follow. And that’s fantastic to hear! I’m glad that this course has taught you how to write these kinds of stories, and it’s been a pleasure creating this for you and everyone else who’s been taking it. 🙂

@jenali Got it. Looks good!

@jane-maree And you two, if you wanted to give us some inspirational pizza. *big smiles*

@jenali @that_writer_girl_99 @winter-rose @daeus @graciegirl @ethryndal @perfectfifths @northerner I’ll be writing till 9 or so.

I have another question concerning POVs. It sort of like Gideon’s question concerning multiple POV’s from first person. But would it be too confusing if I did multiple POVs from different characters, such as one person would be first person in a chapter, then the next chapter would be third person? Then after that another first person, and after…[Read more]

I’ll be writing here for a few minutes.
