@dragon-snapper Well, it isn’t easy. I try to write down story ideas whenever I get them so that when I’m done with one novel I can have a basic idea of what the next one’s going to be about.

But, obviously, you want a plot now. Well, I do have one suggestion. One of the best sources of inspiration for me is to read other novels. I don’t just…[Read more]

Also, what’s that gif from? XD

@dragon-snapper Good question. *thinks*

My problem is I actually have started a new story in a while. Like for NaNoWriMo, I just took an old idea from way-back-when and rewrote it.

The best advice I can give is always be looking for inspiration, in what you watch, read, listen to, say, do, etc. It can come from anywhere, even your dreams (trust me).

@overcomer I think there are two reasons to know your target audience.

First, so you don’t write the wrong book. For instance, if I know I want to write for seminal-Christians aged 30-45 who are in the military, that will keep me from writing a children’s fairy tale. Knowing your target audience also helps you maintain a core unity between all…[Read more]

Hey, @dekreel . 🙂  Nice to meet you.  Actually, this thread is almost the complete opposite of Writer’s Corner.  Whereas the Writer’s Corner is a place to find other writers to write with and share each other’s progress, The Lounge is mainly a place for writers to chat (or complain) about writing or whatever else they want, and basically just…[Read more]

@dekreel A pretty similar concept, actually. They take urban legends and put them to the test. For example, the great escape one I mentioned, a family made a hot air balloon to get from on side of the Berlin Wall to the other, all in secret, so they tested out how their design worked and stuff like that.

@dekreel Last I heard about it, Kari, Grant and Tori left, and they started their own show, White Rabbit Project. We watched one or two episodes of that. and it was kind of interesting (one was about the greatest escapes ever made).

@dekreel @dragon-snapper Yeah, we used to love Mythbusters. 😀 I’m not sure why we stopped watching it though. 😛

@dekreel Ah, sorry! It sounded familiar, and now I remember hearing it from Mythbusters. 😛

@shannon You should! It’s a cute, sad, fun Disney movie. 😉

@dragon-snapper I have no idea, but I feel like I should. 😛

@Dekreel @That_Writer_Girl_99 @Dragon-snapper @Ethryndal @Daeus @Audrey-caylin @Jane-maree @Shannon @Sam-Kowal wow, thanks so much guys, all of you. Just getting the general feedback and feeling out opinion about the existing title helped me get so much more perspective.

@Jane-Maree, believe it or not, I had actually already considered Destroyer,…[Read more]

Raspberry breath… Haha. 😛

@shannon I’ll probably be back, but for now, KP does have a really good character questionnaire. A lot of questionnaires are dumb, but this one digs into the core of what matters. Check it out in our resource library. It may or may not work for you, but I suspect it will spark at least some inspiration.

@kate-flournoy I agree that Victorious works. You can always use subtitles too if the title seems to plain to you.

However, it’s worth looking into new titles.

And now I’ve spent ten minutes trying to think of something and I’m coming up with nothing. 😛

@daughteroftheking My brother says that’s from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Is he right??

@daughteroftheking OOooh! I should have known that!! *facepalm*

@shannon Wow, that’s hard, but I feel like I should know it! 😛 I keep thinking Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, but I know it’s not him.

@dragon-snapper But I do like that movie. 😉

@dragon-snapper No. 😉

@shannon Yes. 😀

@daughteroftheking Have fun hibernating. 😉 And yes, I am! I’m about 12% of the way through (according to Goodreads 😛 ).

@jane-maree You have had to write at least 5,000 words day! I applaud you! *applauds* 😉
