@seekjustice Hm. For me the more I plan, the more unconfident I am. The more I’m like (Why am I doing this?!) I suppose planning isn’t my thing. Even though I tend to do it ALL THE TIME!
The KPA is going great! For once! I’m still a little unconfident, but I have found the secret to this:

Anyway, I’m signing off now. I was…[Read more]

Greetings!! *tips hat*
So as you know, I am writing a Dr Who fan novella (I think I’ve started one too many topics exactly like this XD). Its setting is in the country of Taranar, which contains the Red Chasms, which homes hundreds of Chasm Beasts like myself. But unlike myself, these Beasts are evil, even bloodthirsty. (total and constant…[Read more]

@seekjustice Completely relatable. I get so busy planning that I never get to write the stupid thing! This KPA has been an exception, though, which I am SO thankful for

Hi! So um… *tries to think up some witty and conversation-sparking question…*
Have you started writing your ToTC retelling?

Hello, and WELCOME TO THE BESTEST PLACE IN CYBERSPACE!
I LOVE your name! It’s creative and unique, yet simple. I love that 😀
So, what is your favorite book? Movie? TV show?
Les Miserables! I love that book! (But no spoilers — I’m only halfway through X) ) I love watching Cossette…[Read more]

Yes, I think it works best as as scene that Chara remembers instead of putting it in the beginning. Maybe when Chara is at the “bottom of her self-reliance ability”, she can think about how stuff like this always happens to her and have her flashback to give an example. Then to make her background clear and make Chara appear as a…[Read more]

Maybe for the magic tricks you could do something like this:
<insert name>–Porta
For the second one I’d suggest Kore-Porta, but I don’t have any ideas for the other ones o_o
Could you describe the trinkets in more detail?

@supermonkey42 @perfectfifths @whoever
Bonus points and my undying respect to those of you who can guess these:
Two characters on the telephone:
Character 1: “I’ll be there in an AAAAAAAAAA…!”
Character 2: “In an ‘hour?’ I can’t wait an hour!”
Second quote:
“Dynamic deduction!”

Joy replied to the topic Character Dilemma! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 3 months ago
@emily-d Tell me about the characters! I love hearing about them. What kind of world do they live in? What are their personalities like? How old are they? That way I can give you a story idea based on the characters and the world they live in 🙂

valtmy replied to the topic Contemporary Western Novel in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 3 months ago
Haha sorry about coming across as wanting to give stress to poor Chara. I have a habit of stressing out my own characters, especially at the beginning of my stories where I need to kickstart the plot so that was just where my mind went. 🙂
The problem I had as a reader was that I don’t particularly feel a need for Chara to change,…[Read more]

valtmy replied to the topic Contemporary Western Novel in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 3 months ago
Hi. I’ve read your opening. Chara is a very relatable character (since I have height issues myself) and the part where she got blown back was very cute and funny. I think your story has a lot of potential to be a nice, relaxing and refreshing read amidst all the overdramatic and fantastical plots nowadays. A realistic “journey”…[Read more]

Medieval: Knights, tournaments, castles, swords, minstrels, chivalric romance. Not to mention serfs and primae noctis.
Dark Ages: The Plague. Lots of filth. That’s pretty much it.
OK, to be serious, I think most periods in real life history that are referred to as a “dark age” were actually preceded by rather advanced civilizations. But after…[Read more]

Hmm… Personally when I find myself writing stories which I do not like even though it starred characters which I loved, the problem was that I was taking a plot-driven approach when a character-driven one would have been more appropriate. I was too fixated on the idea of certain plot events happening (a fight, a confrontation, a…[Read more]
