@That_Writer_Girl_99 ehhhh… there is no hard and fast rule. The nearest thing I can give you to a rule is this tip: don’t repeat impressions you’ve already made. (Something else I had to learn the hard way. ;P)
For example, don’t mention in one place that someone is confused, then mention it again later. Writing is all about change. If it hasn’t…[Read more]

@Jenali Yeah, it’s actually been a while since I’ve seen them too, (Vid-Angel, where have you gone?) but that was the one thing that always stood out to me. And YES to the Dark World. When he and Thor where on that ship thingy, and he kept making cracks… “Good job, Thor, you just decapitated your great-grandfather…” My mother and I quote that…[Read more]

@Jenali Fangirl flailing NOT over. *flails* Yes, the SARCASM! And he’s so charmingly…evil. It’s weird. And funny, because he, the villain, was pretty much the ONLY well developed character in the first Thor. 😀

@Jenali YES! Someone who shares my Loki appreciation! @Graciegirl Loki is definitely my favorite villain. I like villains who are kind of relatable, not just world power hungry freaks. The thing about Loki that is so intriguing is that in many ways, he’s more rootworthy than Thor. I wanted Loki to succeed more than Thor because of the ways he’d…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 @ethryndal @f5a8c3e92 Yikes! I forgot to leave the link. Here you go:

@graciegirl I have read the other books, but the first one definitely has the best story line. However, I think my favorite is the second one, just because of the pirates. 😛 And I didn’t like the third as much…the ending, *sighs* I liked Mott; besides Sage, he was my favorite character.
Oh yes. Never met anyone quite as snarky as him. 😛

@leumeister Petersburg, Kentucky. 😀

@julia-r No worries there, I found it helpful too (and have now stuck it in my sticky notes for future reference 😉 )

Wow, 65 pages and only 4 chapters?? That’s amazing! How many pages do you make your chapters? Mine are generally between 5-7, but I’m noticing that most books are probably a big longer

@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? 🙂

@That_Writer_Girl_99 ah okay! Have a good night! *salutes*

@GracieGirl oh dear. Mushy brains aren’t good. XD Catch you in the future! 😀

@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. 😉

@Daeus good, good. *gives you pizza to save up for a midnight feast*

@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. 🙂
