SeekJustice replied to the topic What are the 1st three things your MC says? in the forum Characters 3 years, 3 months ago
This looks so much fun! Thanks for tagging me 🙂 Here’s the first three things the protagonist of my previous WIP, Ilio, says. He’s a sweet, shy, academic boy who also happens to be a werewolf.
1). “Why am I naked?” Hmmm…I promise this makes sense in context.
2). “What has happened to me?”
3). “No.”
Interesting…

@nova21 XD Plenty of adventures to choose from!
I love your lines as well! Dylan sounds like he’d be quite hard to work with.
@writerlexi1216 Felicity sounds like what you described her as. Nice job!
@daisy-torres I’d want to be Catherine’s friend!
@lewilliams I want to meet Horace, like, right now. He sounds so proper.

@nova21 Oo, fun! Hard time to find which MC though, haha…
This is for Nan Jinqi, who’s, um, what is he like… He’s quiet and dependable, I think. Quite observant. Hard-working. I don’t know that much about him yet.
1) “Run!”
2) “It was your stupid machine that crashed and burned, [action tag omitted], And who said I was here to stop you?”
3)…

@writerlexi1216 Ah, yes, the first time I won NaNoWriMo I didn’t write another word for 4 months. Not worth it lol. But since then I’ve built up my writing muscles.
For me I just keep floundering around in water like I’m about to drown. I tell myself I’m gonna keep writing, but in reality it’s so painful I can only get out 100 words a day. But…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic How do you continue a character arc in a series? in the forum Plotting 3 years, 4 months ago
@nova21 I like this idea! Unfortunately I never plot out my character arcs so I can’t help you with that. Best of luck, though. I believe one time someone told me that an overarching theme for a series + individual themes for each book is good, so I think that could work the same with arcs. Maybe for the next book focus on something more…[Read more]

@kathleenramm It was helpful that in the canon they also appear together.

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writing A Christian Fantasy-HELP in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 4 months ago
Hello there! Sorry its taken me a while to get back to you 😀
There’s been a lot of good answers to your questions already, so I’ll do my best to give my two cents.
Personally, I write in two genres and my approach to putting God into those stories is different. My main genres are historical and fantasy, and my historical stuff…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What's the weirdest story you've ever written? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 4 months ago
@kathleenramm Probably a weird one that I never finished where I had some of my characters in some strange situation… My extraterrestrial was doing math homework, my villain was playing baseball (more like hitting the foundation of the house with a baseball bat) and another was getting hyper off of chocolate covered raisins. And then there was…[Read more]

@maryg3 Whoa, I would totally read all of these! Especially the last one!
That meme is quite relatable, haha.
I like to write in the morning. I feel more productive then. *glances at the clock, realising it is late afternoon and hasn’t finished work*
What about you?

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Greetings, Fellow Writers!! in the forum Start HERE 3 years, 4 months ago
@maryg3 Your WIPs all sound so interesting! I would love to hear more about them!
Hmm…what has driven my desire to write? Perhaps it’s to get the stories out of my head onto paper, or maybe because writing is like breathing, and I can’t live without. Maybe it’s after I realised that my writing could make others feel things, and I want to do…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Writing A Christian Fantasy-HELP in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 4 months ago
@godlyfantasy12 You’re looking at someone who, a) doesn’t write Christian fantasy, b) doesn’t think about themes.
Back in the day I thought I had to write a ton of Christian stuff into my stories, like a direct allegory, preaching, the Gospel, etc. I’ve since learned.
Y’know, when he started Narnia, Lewis actually didn’t intend to have it be…[Read more]

Yes, short stories are very fun! I’ve been writing more of them lately myself, they really do wonders for exercises.
What is the premise of your current work in progress?
Also, do you like pineapple on pizza?
Lovely to have you here! Hope to see…[Read more]
