This makes sense too. I just have to make sure there’s some sort of victory right?

@dekreel Btw, if you want to learn more about this, K.M.Wieland has a whole book on it. 😉

Yes, this makes sense. The story doesn’t actually end, because there’s still hope!

Thanks for the advice! I think I’m beginning to get a feel of how to work an ending like this.

Jenna Terese replied to the topic How to Kill Off Without Killing in the forum Plotting 8 years, 9 months ago
Of course, when killing off a character, you don’t want readers to feel that they died for no reason. And if the reader didn’t feel connected with the character, it won’t resonate with them as much. The character needs to be made memorable first before thinking about killing him/her off.
That being said, a character dying because of a sacrifice…[Read more]

You say the two characters knew each other before this meeting. I think it would be really interesting if they had some bad history together, even if they didn’t really know each other. Even if they only met once, they could have negative or critical thoughts about each other. Backstory always makes things more interesting.
I hope this helps!

Jenna Terese replied to the topic Help! I don't understand my characters! in the forum Characters 8 years, 9 months ago
I think you should let your characters develop on their own instead of picking a type. To me, picking a personality type sets your character in a box. And writing is all about thinking out of the box right? What I love to use is the ‘What If?’ question. What if my character loved……? Hated…..?Had a secret about…..? This works even better…[Read more]

Jenna Terese replied to the topic Should I be publishing my new work to my blog? in the forum Publishing & Platform 8 years, 9 months ago
If you want to submit your short stories to publishers or agents, some of them don’t like to use already published material (including stories on blogs, which they might consider published). But this might be a very slim percentage. I think you should collect your short stories, and maybe put one here and there on your blog. I hope this made sense…[Read more]

I actually really like it the way it is; it has a clean crisp feel. But if you feel like it needs something in the background, maybe a different texture background or a neutral color maybe?

Okay, I’ll give this some thought as I figure out the characters’ goals. Thank you!!! 👍

@introvert_girl @kate-flournoy @seekjustice
Thanks for your replies!
So, I’ve read and listened to some stuff about Pinterest and I think if there is a social media site that would fit me, this would probably be it. I think I’ll probably give it a try, but before I commit to anything I like to have a strategy for how I’m going to use it.
I have…[Read more]

My current WIP is a sci-fi trilogy. In my mind, it’s kinda a mix of Star Wars and Tron (if that makes any sense). But not plot-wise, just the technology, weapons and forms of transportation are a little similar. The first book is more like Star Wars, the second more like Tron, the third…..who know? I haven’t planned that far yet.
So anyway, I…[Read more]

And now for a question of my own.
Would your character rather go to a political celebration or a Christmas party.
Ike would rather go to a political celebration.
