@daeus *cheers* Hooray! That’s so exciting! Are self-publishing?

@daeus Ha! I just watched that! 😛

@aratrea Can I post a character arc for each lesson, or should I just stick to the character I’ve been working on so far?

@aratrea My answer is similar to my last one as well. One thing I have noticed in my own life is that it takes repetition. It takes a series of events to change; there isn’t generally one event and then I accept whatever the change might be wholeheartedly. The same is true with characters. There will be events that make them doubt, and then each…[Read more]

@ethryndal @daeus @kate-flournoy @winter-rose @aella @anyone else
Anybody writing tonight?

@daeus Yes, something like that. The second half of the disillusionment arc is really the first part of her positive arc (because who would ever decide to start simple when branching from a single book to a trilogy *glares at self*). And yes, her trying to save everyone is an outward manifestation of what she is working through inwardly.

@ethryndal *doesn’t laugh* There, there. It’ll be alright. We writers make sacrificeses for the world, doesn’t we, precious?

@emma-flournoy @graciegirl Let me say that again… Um…yeah. 😛 😀

@Aratrea The second experiment in living is built off the first. In the first, victory is merely defined by keeping everyone she loves safe. In the second, she has added an element of physical freedom and the overthrow of tyranny as qualifications for victory because she is convinced that the original goal of safety for those she loves will never…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy No. I was just seconding what you said. 😛

@emma-flournoy

Oh. My. He sounds odd.

Um…yeah.

@Aratrea

This is the protagonist of a trilogy. She goes through a disillusionment arc through the first two books, then has a positive arc in the final book. I’ve done some major work on her arcs recently, but some points might still need to be straightened out.

Beginning: Protagonist starts by believing that good will always win and victory…[Read more]

Though not dramatic enough for most books, a series of teaching and reasoning can change people. Generally, I’ve found that a repetition of pounding the same point home in different ways, by different people, and being able to see the logical reasons for why I should change as well as the threat of the results if I do not change, can cause a…[Read more]

@aella Well, either way,, I like my computer. 😛

@aella Civilization is a video game in which you can build an empire. It is a time sink. 😀

@kate-flournoy 😛 Thanks, I’ll have to look into those.

@ethryndal That sounds like something Galadriel would say in the Lord of the Rings intro. 😛
