How could I forget to add the character who everyone thought to be dead crashing his or her funeral? The only time I can think of when this happened is Percy Jackson.

The Ducktator replied to the topic Think Twice About Character Death! in the forum General Writing Discussions 12 months ago
You make some good points and may have saved a life. I had a character who I’d considered killing for drama, but I’m thinking I’ll keep her alive.
I would argue that sometimes shock value is a good reason to kill characters. For example, in KotLC the stakes are supposed to be so high, and the villains so evil, and yet all of the…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon
Thank you! And I’m glad the examples made sense to someone besides me. The characters must be protected not only for themselves, but for the sake of story legacy. ⚔️Too hesitant to kill off characters who probably should actually die for the plot/ their own arc.
Some people are definitely more like that. I fall…[Read more]

 I’m choosing to take an extra year of classes by myself, a super senior year. But it’s optional and I’m doing it to choose specific interests and decide if I want to pursue them or not.
Makes sense. My dad wants me to go to a community college for a year when I graduate for the same reason.
Ah yes, practical life skills. Must be nic…[Read more]

Oh yeah, I just remembered. I discussed this with another book-reading friend, and that’s why it was in my mind.

This morning, a list of thoughts suddenly popped into my head. I don’t know why. Maybe because I’ve been reading more books lately. :-]
It’s easy to think a reader’s negative response to a character death is ultimately good. You want them to feel a gut punch, right? You want them to be angry, right? You want them to cry, right? I cannot deny this…[Read more]

I hesitate because I reeeaaallllyy need to get back into writing/editing. But… that week is leading up to my brother’s graduation and I’m in the homestretch for my schoolwork and life has just been busy and I need time to just chill. Anyway… I also really really want to sign up for CEW still…. 😭 I am just being indecisiv…[Read more]

I might go to college! I’m choosing to take an extra year of classes by myself, a super senior year. But it’s optional and I’m doing it to choose specific interests and decide if I want to pursue them or not.
Plus I need time to learn more practical life skills, grow healthy, etc.

whaley replied to the topic Anyone else doing Crazy Editing Week? in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year ago
You don’t have to do it this year. But I will tell everyone who doesn’t have their own to-edit material that CEW actually supplies a bunch of stuff to edit if you need it. I’ll use some of their material myself. 🙂

The Ducktator replied to the topic Anyone else doing Crazy Editing Week? in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year ago
Maybe next year. I don’t really have anything ready to edit right now.

I used to do Saxon but I found it painfully dry. I do Life of Fred now. I still don’t like math, but I tolerate it now.
I’d also been asking God to give a heart for not grumbling about math…and I’m so thankful He has!
I should probably do that.
