Where is the Creation Museum? I feel like I should know this. 😛

@daeus Haha, maybe a little 😉 I’m actually not too disappointed about it (I think my brother was more disappointed than me XD)

@julia-r Well, according to Wikipedia

Classification Word count
Novel 40,000 words or over
Novella 17,500 to 39,999 words
Novelette 7,500 to 17,499 words
Short story under 7,500 words

Does that help? 🙂

@graciegirl Need I say who my favorite villain is?

I also like Luigi Vampa. His backstory is gripping and tragic, though he’s not technically a villain.

Er…Ooh! I can’t remember the guy’s name, but the villain in K.M.Wieland’s Dreamlander is really good. He’s an excellent foil character to the MC plus a very interesting character for his own…[Read more]

@graciegirl Wait….you’ve read the False Prince? Why didn’t you tell me!?

@perfectfifths Well, if it’s any consolation, I didn’t win it when I entered last year either. 😉

@graciegirl @that_writer_girl_99 @jane-maree Alright, I’ve finished up. Did some research and then edited 500 words.

Welp, I got an email about the Bunyan Fiction Writing contest yesterday. I didn’t win or get runner-up, but that’s okay 🙂 Still waiting about the magazine one, but the winner isn’t decided until next month, so yeah 😛 🙂

@graciegirl Yes; you can definitely have characters who initially fails a character arc but later achieves it. We’ll actually be publishing an article sometime next month by @sierra-r that will be touching on how to do that effectively. 🙂

@graciegirl Great.

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

@graciegirl Some of the most interesting villains (and the most dangerous) are the ones who honestly believe what they are doing is right and they are willing to sacrifice for their convictions. A villain who is off for revenge is all very well. A villain who is fighting for something he loves will be even more dedicated. Plus it is heartbreaking…[Read more]

@graciegirl The way I see it, there are three different approaches you can take with villains: the foil approach, the tempter approach, and the testing ground approach. The foil approach is basically what you mentioned above: make the villain a mirror of the protagonist, or sharing similar qualities to the protagonist. Another way of putting it is…[Read more]

@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 A novella is generally 20,000-35,000 words. Mine end up in the 30,000s, generally. 😉 You could easily get one done in a month. I wrote one in a week once… it was a bit crazy, but I got it done. And chapters depend. Mine average around 10-15.

I’ve heard it’s hard to traditionally publish a novella, but it’s pretty quick to…[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.
