Aaand I forgot to post a question. Silly brain. 😉 Would your character rather not remember who they are or have awful memories they wish they could forget?

@rochellaine Katie would rather be invisible, and she would probably only be visible to her mom. Brant doesn’t like anyone. 😛 Just kidding, but he would probably still rather be famous. Ogden would rather be invisible, and only visible to his niece, who went missing and he’s been trying to find, because then if someone saw him he would know it…[Read more]

@rochellaine Gah, that episode is so sad! I like it though. *goes into writer mode* It’s an interesting part of Capt. Picard’s character development.
Very true, there would probably be chaos on earth. *weird little grin* It’s the kind of thing I would love to write, but just don’t have the time. Or, you know, the brainpower. 😛

@ingridrd No, not annoying at all! I did finish reading. The thing is, I can’t comment on the actual document. Not any fault of how the doc is set up, just stuff on my end. Sorry about that.
I enjoyed the chapters. If they were from a book I noticed at the library, I would definitely check it out and keep reading! I don’t have any suggestions. -

@skredder *claps* Nice!
Ok, this one’s a bit chaotic looking, but that’s what happens when you try to sum up all your characters in one collage. 😛 Viola!Â

Here’s one that popped into my head whilst I was reading.
An alien race is dying, and with no way to save itself, it sends a time capsule of its history and technology to the nearest inhabited planet, which happens to be earth. What happens next?

NC Stokes replied to the topic Writing Prompts in the forum Art 7 years, 11 months ago
@Rochellaine *snorts* I really want to read that story.

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #16 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 11 months ago
I understand that feeling. It’s so easy for us writers to become besotted, isn’t it? 😉
I guess the way I love my characters stems from my desire to maintain objectivity in my writing. As evil overlordish as this sounds, my characters are, ultimately, tools. Since I personally know so much about my characters, it is easy for me to…[Read more]

Sorry for vanishing again but that’s what happens when I write in the dead of the night. Hope you enjoyed yourself watching Newsies! I’ll put my answers to your questions here so that you can see them when you return.

First rule is that the infodump should be relevant to whatever your character is currently doing I guess.
I suppose I have it easy because I’m writing a parody. That means I can narrate in the driest and most cynical tone possible so that the infodump can hopefully at least be funny.
But what I think works best in most cases is if…[Read more]

Many apologies for disappearing yesterday. It was past four for me so I fell asleep 😛

@notawriter Haha! That’s a really funny coincidence! Or is it… a conspiracy?? 😉

Methinks you should be writing this WIP for you mayhap are better than me.
Here’s some encouragement for you and Chara:
