I procrastinate. You all know that. It’s been literally a month. But I managed to finish my article on Antiheroes. It doesn’t actually talk about how to write them, but it does delve into the history, morality, psychology, and ethics of the antihero character type (I believe the blog post will answer most of Jess’s inital questions). And I’m gonna…[Read more]

Oh, and here @rachelle

@rachelle I forgot about this thread. Sorry about that. Anyway, I was rereading what you said and here’s what I think:

Scientifically, amnesia basically does erase all your memories. You cannot regain them at all. Regaining them is a Hollywood myth. In that way, your story wouldn’t work.

Also, guilt is a feeling, but it is also a statement.…[Read more]

@Northerner I have no idea where my first post went. Here. Have it again.

Okay guys.
@Hope gave me a book with three of G.K. Chesterton’s novels in it as an early birthday present, and though I have only read one of them so far it completely blew my mind.
It was The Ball and the Cross.

Has anyone else read it? If so, can we please discuss how…[Read more]

@rachelle Wow, those are really good! I especially like the comic with the little boy and the kitty. 🙂 Have you done any others like that?

@rachelle Arg, you’re making me jealous! Every time I try to draw the same character even twice, they always come out looking like two completely different people. 🙂

I really like this idea. If you want to hint at your theme early on, maybe you can just use foreshadowing– events or random thoughts that have a meaning, but the MC doesn’t realize it yet. But I don’t think it’s completely necessary to reveal the theme right away, since the question of justice will come about pretty quickly, and…[Read more]

@rachelle I think you could switch from omniscient to first person, you’d just have to pay extra attention to how you introduce your first person narrator.

@rachelle Hmm, I don’t know. I mean, there are so many angles you can take. 😀 Amnesia is fun. I’d make sure you are showing the sinfulness of the characters before they start regaining their memories, though. It’s not the past/memories that make them sin, it is their heart.

As for the lost memory… let’s see. Random fun things: you could give…[Read more]

Top marks to you, @rachelle, for actually having a reason to use a cliche! It’s a pretty interesting twist on a familiar story. Personally, I’d get turned off fast if you had boring characters or didn’t have a theme-glimmer (as Daeus said) to give a sense of the story. So just as long as you incorporate theme and have great characters, I would say…[Read more]

@northerner *scowls* I’m hardly on here anymore. Sadly… Unless someone tags me, I don’t generally see it. But still… amnesia.

*grins and rubs hands*

@rachelle Not that I have much to add. It does seem like a cool idea. One I’d like to read. 😀
