Oh I think the best place to start is thinking of necessary history. If you already have a basic story, how did the characters get where they are now? what motivates them? Is the world old, or new? If it’s old, the past experiences/grudges the people have would likely be past down between generations, which could affect your characters…[Read more]

Try making a map!

I love doing maps because you can come up with all kinds of ruined locations, and then it ends up helping develop the history of your world. Idk maybe that’s just a dystopian writer thing lol… I think every world deserves a few ancient ruins though.

I don’t know if anyone here is into historical fiction besides @freedomwriter76, but I just finished reading a book by Jennifer Neilson called Words on Fire. It’s about a girl that’s one of the smugglers who smuggles book to Lithuanians, because Russia had invaded Lithuania and put a ban on Lithuanian literature. The Russians pretty much tried…[Read more]

I know exactly how you feel. I’m planning to have at least two characters die, one physically and the other “emotionally” or I guess “psychologically.”

Like Whaley and Min said, there has to be a reason for killing that character. (Which is something I had asked a question about a little while ago.) Will their death finish their arc…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6 @freedomwriter76

Consider me on draft .5 then lol.

@mineralizedwritings

You’re welcome!!! ❤️

And also by draft two I mean I never finished draft one, I reached 46k words and scraped it because the plot wasn’t working. It’s a little bit of a different story now lol.

Yeah I totally get that! 🙂

@freedomwriter76 @min

@kyronthearcanin

M’kay! 🙂

@smiley

You don’t have to kill characters! I think people think that it is necessary because most mainstream movies and books have character deaths, but it isn’t needed to be good. My books don’t have any deaths except maybe one or two characters who are just elderly. It’s a really heavy thing, and I think because we see it so often in…[Read more]
