@gh24682468999 Woah…nice long tag. 😛

Well…I’m not quite sure how to help you here–dialogue has usually been natural for me. I learned mostly by observation in reading. Some books have some really good dialogue, and somehow, when I was ten, managed to soak that up.

So I guess what I’m saying here is that definitely observing what other…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when your mom says, “Look! I’ve found a notebook of stuff you wrote years ago!” and you wonder if you can possibly hide/incinerate it fast enough so that no one reads it.

Thank you @daeus and @that_writer_girl_99 ! I was rethinking it because I just read two amazing fantasy books where they were in 1st person, and it was epic! The characterization was so much better because you were inside Crisa’s/Mina’s mind, thinking their thoughts. And I write in first-person most of the time anyway, so I might be better at it.

Sweet! I love names myself, @dragon-snapper. And I have one, big fat tip for you:

DO NOT EVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE Z’S OR X’S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read a book recently where almost half of the “fantasy words” had X’s or Z’s in them, and it was painful. (On the strain of the “fantasy words”, do not use too many!!! That book did that…[Read more]

I probably should have figured this out by now, (what with being 6 pages in and all) but I am having second thoughts about my perspective choice. I have been writing third person, but I think it would be better as first person. Does anyone have any thoughts?

@salome01w4g I imagine one also has to have an eye for color (which I’m pretty sure I don’t have :P). Maybe I’ll try to make a collage sometime, though.

You know you’re a writer when….
If your characters knew what kind of trouble you were planning for them, they would move to someone else’s WIP and be a flat, unimportant villager with no purpose whatsoever.

This doesn’t have to do with being a writer, but the problems I have as a writer when I have a writer fail moment.
ME: What color hair does this character have?
SIBLING: I don’t know. Depending on the scene, it varies from black to blonde.

XD I’ve never had a character who can change hair color from scene to scene.

@epicaddie2 Byeeeeeeeeeee!! XD

@epicaddie2 Not from what I know of. If you’re worried that the character arc isn’t going to fit in your book, then I’d shorten it, but the characters is what carries your story. The character arc should not be immediate or too small. Character arcs can last for a few books maybe too, if its a major life aspect.

But if you think about, our lives…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Welcome!
@that_writer_Girl_99 Motion Picture class? That sounds like so much fun! I’ve looked into scriptwriting before, and yeah, the format is odd. I find Times Roman much more friendly. 😛

@salome01w4g @daeus @that_writer_Girl_99 @catwing @epicaddie2 I’m writing now, and might do some editing later, but whoever wants to join me…

@salome01w4g @catwing Welp, I’m signing out now. I wrote 1030!

And thank you so much for the popcorn and ice cream! He helped me get past the really really really really really dry chapter/scene! 😀

@dragon-snapper Ok, I am going to ramble, so brace yourselves. I pretty much know nothing about the topic that I will now ramble about. This is all from my observation, so use at your own risk. 😛 Alrighty, using a “y” instead of an “i” is very cool right now, but it’s a kind feels “forced,” like you’re trying too hard to be cool. Go for something…[Read more]

@salome01w4g Popcorn!! Popcorn and swords! Give me!

@salome01w4g Swords!!!

Man, I kinda miss those.

@catwing Hiya!

I will take the ice cream!
