@Christi-Eaton I love her! I don’t have anyone that fits her, but I love the sense of personality you achieved. 😀

@That_Writer_Girl_99 Kara. 🙂 Anywhere close?

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’m sorry. I should have realized you were getting overwhelmed and slowed down a bit. When I get excited it can be a bit like drinking from a water-hose. 😛 If it starts happening again just tell me. I can slow down. 😉

Of course we can talk about Kara.

But first let me answer your question about plot vs. character. Which…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 loneliness is not fun. I’ll certainly be praying for you.
@Daeus you too. I’m sure you’re doing great, and I mean that cuz I’ve seen what you can do.

@michael-stanton *chokes* *swallows hard to refrain from dying so she can find out the rest of the story* Yessssssssssssssssss This shall be good.

And you know what else? Just because we’re villains doesn’t give you the right to make us lose all the time.

*bows to @dragon-snapper* Wes is looking forward to this muchly, Precious.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 yep! I shall be graduating this year. *grins**salutes her fellow soon-to-be-graduate*

I struggle with outlining too. But I’m going to try it in earnest with my next project to see if I can speed up some. 😛

That is a good question, yes… where do you want your protagonist to end up? Hm. I don’t wanna put words into your…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’d be happy to try. 😀

@I-J-Anderson thank you… and WOW. *shakes head* I just… no words. 😛

@Christi-Eaton thanks. 😀 I like trying to capture light… that’s my thing. I really love light. And textures. Sometimes I think I’m getting there. XD

@Aysia-Serene ha! It took me a good long while of practice and observation, that’s how. 😉

@Dragon-Snapper *chokes*

@That_Writer_Girl_99 that’s very much up to you. Some do it completely in their head, some write outlines longer than the work itself. The key thing is to figure out where your MC starts, where you want her by the end, and how you’re going to get her there. Follow the five plot point thingy using your MCs arc as the thing…[Read more]

@ClaireC *raises hand* My vocal range actually has the high end of the soprano and the low end of the mezzosoprano, so I’m not sure what you’d technically call me. 😉 And yes, I do sing… opera? I’m not sure I’d strictly call it opera, but I have several classical songs that I love that could be categorized like that. Voi Che Sapete, for example.…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper yes, that sounds slightly more agreeable. 😉

@That_Writer_Girl_99 oh yes, sorry. I should have clarified that.

@Dragon-Snaper yes, that sounds slightly more agreeable. 😉

@That_Writer_Girl_99 oh yes, sorry. I should have clarified that.

@Dragon-Snapper considering the history of the Chosen One up to this point I’m not sure I like that idea… XD But thank you for the compliment. 😉

Okay guys… interrupting with a piece of art. 😉

@Aysia-Serene @I-J-Anderson remember my character Taren you did sketches of a while back? I tried her again today and got this. I’m not totally happy with it, but I figured I’d share it just the same. 😉

@Dragon-Snapper *freaks out* I wouldn’t know where to start! 😛 Besides… writing a book about it isn’t the same as helping individual people through it. And recently I discovered something about myself— I really like coaching people. Like, really like it. I like watching them grow and seeing things click and then stepping back and watching…[Read more]

@Daeus DO IT. I may hate salespeople and be horrified of selling things myself but for this… I’d do it.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’ll explain character arcs this evening. For now I have to run. 😉

@That_Writer_Girl_99 okay so first of all, I read through the posts that I did last night and realized my brain must have been working on a low battery because they were very scattered, so thank you for sticking with me. 😛

How much do you know about character arcs?

And while I wait for you to answer that question, we can have a little talk…[Read more]

@FeedingMyGoldfish nice! That’s great that your mom could teach you. My mom taught me piano and basically began my musical ‘career’. 😉
I don’t see why it wouldn’t be called ornamentation.

What do you primarily like to sing?
I have preferences, but if I’m honest I’ll pretty much sing anything that has the faintest suggestion of a good tune, with…[Read more]

Okay so I’m curious. How many singers do we have on here, and how many of those actually have some vocal training?
I don’t. 😛 I sing because I love it and I can’t help it. Several years ago I looked up some basic mechanics tutorials on Youtube and learned about proper breathing and voice control, but that’s about it.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 *gulp* Um… yes. Apparently I did. I’m sorry… it slips out when I get excited around people I like. 😉

It doesn’t have to be a physical difference at all. The difference you pointed out is perfect. Thing is, you have to realize the way people act is directly tied to their EiLs. Tam and Kara differ there, and that is the…[Read more]
