@Daeus good. 😛
Sure. Sure. I’ll believe that when I see it.And I hope you’re right. *nods solemnly*
Ack! Now I’m starting to sound like you. Haha! XD -

@Daeus eeeep! Sorry! I didn’t tag you so it isn’t my fault! 😛
Okay though, great points. Yes. You’re right. Maybe because my grasp on that is too shallow… *groans**bangs head against the wall* HAROLD HAD BETTER APPRECIATE THE MENTAL AGONY I’M GOING THROUGH FOR HIS SAKE.
Okay. *settles down* I must definitely do brainstorming on that. Oh…[Read more] -

Take two characters in your story who are not the story’s villain or protagonist, develop experiments in living for them, and then choose what poetic justice you want to portray with them.

What creates a good foil character? Think about who some of your favorite foils in literature are and use that to deepen your answer. Then share your thoughts in this forum thread!

Take three random consecutive scenes from your book and outline how they’re going to build on each other to develop your story’s theme. Then post a brief summary of each scene here!

Character’s story goal is to find his place in the world. It’s a coming-of-age. Yep, a disillusionment arc coming-of-age. 😛 I didn’t do it on purpose so don’t ask me how it happened. lol
Anyway. His more tangible goal is to find the one man who was kind to him after something particularly tragic happened in his past, and he believes that wherever…[Read more] -

Take one of your favorite stories, choose three to four consecutive scenes in the book, and analyze the theme development in those scenes similar to what I did in Romeo & Juliet. Then post your results here!

@Ethryndal *gives you moral support and commiseration* I had to rewrite my entire WIP as well. It seemed impossible at the start, but now I’m almost done and though it still makes me want to tear my hair out sometimes it’s really not so bad. It gets better, dear. It does. We promises. 😉

@ethryndal *doesn’t laugh* There, there. It’ll be alright. We writers make sacrificeses for the world, doesn’t we, precious?

@Aratrea The second experiment in living is built off the first. In the first, victory is merely defined by keeping everyone she loves safe. In the second, she has added an element of physical freedom and the overthrow of tyranny as qualifications for victory because she is convinced that the original goal of safety for those she loves will never…[Read more]

@hope That’s a great point that hasn’t been brought up yet! Those sorts of instructive moments can definitely change someone. They’re a bit trickier to use in novel form since it’s really easy for that to become a preaching moment, but I think it can be done when you do it in a way that’s true to the instructor’s character. I think I discuss that…[Read more]

@hope That seems like a good character arc–I like it! I’m not completely sure, though, on what distinguishes the beginning experiment from the transitory experiment. Is it just how she applies the experiment, or are the experiments themselves different?
