@Ethryndal Gah! Why are you so good at expressing my feelings. M-hm. That.
And I love that “I will help you” line. You’re making me remember how much I like that droid, do stop. I need to see this again.
I haven’t read that; what’s a visual dictionary? A…dictionary with pictures? 😛 That sounds simple enough, but…

@GracieGirl By all means,…[Read more]

@aysia-serene Yes. We’s very proud, precious. Very happy. And I’ll take those cookies. 😛
Sooo, what does KP stand for and what does HP stand for?? All I’m getting is Kingdom Pen and Harry Potter. (is that what they’re supposed to mean?)

Write a story from the viewpoint of one of your siblings who enters a portal and ends up in a fantasy world where they have to cooperate with you in order to save the world.

@Daeus What an awful plight.

@graciegirl Okay, now I’m going to head out, but I rewrote round about 2000 words, which I am very happy with considering my various distractions. How’d your researching go?

@graciegirl Alright! I’m still at it too! I’m rewriting.

@graciegirl Just checking..are you still there?

Back again, yes. Asking for help….hesitantly I have come. But really, I never can decide whether I want to write from third person or first, so I need some dares in first person and others in third person to see if that’ll help…[Read more]

@winter-rose Glad you could join for a bit!

1. Lathen: A Volandum healer and follower of the Prince. His EiL is that it is man’s relationship with the Prince that defines his worth, not a name or power or blood or anything else. He helps tend Ethaniel toward the end of the book, as Ethaniel working on consolidating his own recent revelation that any kind of name is meaningless without the…[Read more]

@r-j-wordsmith Awesome! The villain finally understood how to do things right here. *applauds*

@daeus Nice count! I copied down 4 pages worth of transitional phrases (because I really should use more of those) and logged all my characters.
@winter-rose @ethryndal @r-j-Anderson @northerner @graciegirl @Audrey-caylin @overcomer @jess @aella I’m still going.

@naomijackson Never to late to make goals. This topic has just begun. 😛
BTW, welcome to the forum!

@kate-flournoy Gair IS NOT a minor character. Don’t you dare cut his role in any way.

I’m going to go with Jagger in Fidelyon. He’s the… well, the side-kick, I guess (don’t tell him I said that; he’d not forgive me).

Anyway, he’d follow the first type, because his arc mirrors Ethaniel’s. While Ethaniel starts with not having a name, Jagger actually has a disgraced name. But while Ethaniel places importance in gaining a name and…[Read more]

Heroship? That sounds perfect, thanks for your help, @aratrea ! Now I just have to pick one … this is gonna be hard … most all of them have strong connections to my story, and I like them all. I might wind up writing them on slips of paper and putting them in a hat. 😉

Complacency, Dealing with Expectations, and Heroship are definitely…[Read more]

@aratrea

One fun way of connecting major characters is to give them the same goal, but different EiLs so that they are in constant tension about how to do something or what is the best way to get something done. They could be friends or they could be antagonists, but either way one can get quite a bit thematic depth between the interaction of…[Read more]

@daeus I’m here!

Did you have anything to add on the descriptions, @Daeus?
