Not really.

I…*sighs* Have you ever seen the animated TV show “Avatar: The Last Airbender”? The “bending” on that show is based off of four different forms of Chinese martial arts. That’s how I’m picturing the Elemental powers–what they’ll be like–will be used.
Kara uses fire as an extension of her body. It’s a part of her she can’t even…[Read more]

Is it bad if I know who my “ONE character” is, even though he hasn’t entered the story yet? @graciegirl

Also, their conversation would be a great way to say a lot of things about the way things really are in the prison by not saying them. Good dialogue illuminates what people are not saying, I’ve heard it said, and I agree. There’s more in what’s not said than what is.

Huh. Good point, but…things like what? @kate-flournoy Also, thank you for s…[Read more]

Kate, I’m popping over to the novel excerpt forum to read your reply. I had work this morning, so I couldn’t answer when you commented. @kate-flournoy

I’d be careful if I were you. If Kate’s character is anything like her maker, she’ll be mischievous… @graciegirl

Praying! I know it can be hard. My mom struggles with the same thing, and I get what you mean about feeling like you aren’t able to help her in any way. But Gracie, trust me, prayer is powerful. More so than you can know! @graciegirl

Yeah. *places fire extinguisher beside laptop in case of sudden combustion*

Okay. I like that. I definitely think that idea deepens Matthias’ purpose.

Alright, so…Kara is walking back to her cell. All of the other Elementals are supposed to be in their own cells, which means that Matthias talking to one of the guards would be very…[Read more]

Telepathy. A favorite ability of mine. To write, I mean. Not that I’m…actually telepathic. @kate-flournoy

Uh. Okay. At this point…I’m planning on just doing Kara’s POV. I don’t think I can manage to incorporate a theme into my story, balance multiple characters, plot out different arcs, and switch POVs. That’s too much. This story holds a lot…[Read more]

Um, not if you’re replying to my response… lol.

Erm, goodbye, then? @daeus

I…goodness. That startled me more than it probably should have. @kate-flournoy

*takes a moment to settle herself* Okay. What I was going to say was…I can’t figure out what to do in chapter three. Like, part of it is a transition scene–Kara is running back to her cell after the power goes out–but I don’t know what to do after that.

I had…[Read more]

What? Wait. Just…what? @kate-flournoy That is completely irrelevant to what I’m stuck on.

@kate-flournoy I’m stuck.

Yay! Thank you! @kate-flournoy

Yes! I’m here. @daeus Anyone else?

Kate… *hugs you*

Okay. Time to do some writing.

@daeus @ethryndal STORY! Now I want to know what happened.

You definitely didn’t mention that. @kate-flournoy

@daeus I can honestly say that I’m not afraid of Kate’s dragon breath…yet.

Exactly.
Dragons? As in… @dragon-snapper? Or are there other dragons I should be worried about? @ethryndal
*glances around warily*

No, you’re right. That makes sense. I think my hesitation is stemming from the fact that I’m not sure I can write something so…complex. This WIP is bigger than anything I’ve ever tried to write before. @kate-flournoy
