And most of that you probably already knew, but there it is. You said “character arcs” and I got excited. XD Sorry.

@trailblazer

First off, that story sounds incredibly intriguing. Not your average story, and maybe one that you can use to deal with things most people deal with, but don’t talk about.

For developing character arcs, I would suggest you 1. Find a message, 2. Find a flaw that corresponds and fits the character uniquely 3. Determine what the…[Read more]

@rae

Ah yes. Some writers talk about their super organized notes, and I’m just like “I have a head. And some notes here…or maybe over there…”

@raxforge

I’m not sure what a good process is, but here’s basically what I do.

I have a doc for each of my series that is mostly just notes about the characters, the plotline, and a bunch of random culture things. And then I’ve scribbled some things down in notebooks, but I haven’t kept up with those so I don’t really know if I have that stuff…[Read more]

I talk about it to my siblings. XD And I keep an eye open for ideas. For instance, while at a funeral I realized I didn’t know my charrie’s traditional burials. Flash forward to when I ran across some archeology, and I decided to hunt for ideas. Now I have a detailed burial system depending on the place and/or culture in the world. Same thing…[Read more]

Thanks for joining, y’all! It was awesome to kinda actually meet you.

May your words flow easily into your WIPs and all characters do as they should.

And remember y’all, we did decide to wear light costumes of some sort this week if anyone else wants to (like nothing too nuts. I’ll probably just be wearing a hat)

@grcr

Oh gracious. Thank you. XD Time zones are not my strong point.

@theducktator

3! You have another couple hours!

Well, I obviously took those with artificial light. XD At least they finally came through. Any thoughts? 😁

@ellette-giselle @koshka @keliah-h @hybridlore @theducktator

Ok everyone! Last night I tried to share the character concept art, but apparently it didn’t go through. I’m going to try sharing them again now.

@theducktator

Nope! 2 pm Central, so 1 o’clock EST.

Y’all. This is sad.

I’ve put aside most of my fun reading during January to focus on things. And I just realized. One of my family checked out The Screwtape Letters in my favorite audio book version. (And it’s due in 16 minutes.)

*Marianne level sobbing*

Just kidding. XD

I’ll laugh when I write, and sometimes I’ll tear up. Usually it’s not…[Read more]

@theducktator

I think it’s happening later today.

@savannah_grace2009

*Snort laughs*

*Chokes on my tea*

*Stumbles from room sputtering and laughing*

(I definitely like these characters now. Especially Aubrielle. She sounds like me.)

@whalekeeper

Not typically, or at least not externally. I can tear myself up inside and spend the rest of the day letting off steam.

Now re reading it? I’ll have myself crunched up in a corner, or randomly laughing even though I wrote the whole thing.

Y’all are fine. We’ll just *sniffle* have to survive.

@whalekeeper

*Watches cake disappear* *offers tea*

That sounds like a headache. Do you…do you need more cake?

(*Wonders if my charie names match their colors* *stresses*)

@loopylin

Ugh, yes. So much feel is in a name.

*offers you cake as well*
