M’kay! I’ve decided on another character duo! (Actually three characters, but I’m only gonna write from the POV of two of them) I need practice writing these guys since I don’t normally do first person, but their novel is going to be completely in first!

So! Without further ado….…[Read more]

@theducktator

Pretty much, lol. We like to give a little bio about our characters before adding them in though (appearance, age, maybe a few characteristics [so we could group them with another character that could cause some personality clashes], etc.)

@freed_and_redeemed @theshadow @theducktator

I’m in! This week is gonna be crazy busy and next week school starts, so I can’t be super active either.

I think I’ll either stick with Everton and Adrian or play with some newly created characters… 😏 If no one wants to RP first I can start.

@whalekeeper @loopylin

I’ve made it a point in the past year or so to make eye contact when I’m listening to someone, but sometimes I start thinking of ways I’d describe their eyes in a book and stop paying attention to what they’re actually saying. 🫣😂

@theducktator

Yeah for realllll!

Typically I’m not emotional during movies, but when I watched If, it got me tearing up, especially the part where the girl (can’t remember her name, lol) is talking to her dad when he’s asleep in the hospital. I do remember thinking that it was a little dramatic, her being super worried about her dad as soon as things went downhill. (In fact, if…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

yeahhh it can be really hard sometimes :/

@anyone

(I’m posting this here cuz I don’t want to make a whole new topic 😛 )

I’ve heard mixed opinions on this, so I wanted to hear what y’all think. Do you find it annoying to read stuttering when it’s written into dialogue?

I ask that because some people suggest to indicate that the character was stuttering by the dialogue tag. The probl…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Yesss! For some reason I loved that movie too. (:

@whalekeeper

While I am more emotional objectively than Linus, being a girl teen and all, I do not like sharing my feelings or even physically expressing them through tears. I am an extremely private person and I do not like to look for sympathy from anybody; it makes me feel guilty. I tend to cry in private.

One side of me would like to be c…

I also forgot that you guys talked about this on this thread so I posted a different reply in the other topic.

@linus-smallprint @ellette-giselle

I’m kind of bored and I just wanted to pop in on this conversation cuz I find it really interesting!

If my brother were to accuse me of not caring (which might actually happen), I would get even more frustrated because I would want to care more, but find myself unable to.

YES THIS IS SO ME! I mean I’d definitely…[Read more]

Maybe it wasn’t in this forum…but I know I heard it somewhere, lol!

Did I just hear that most girls want to be held and comforted?!?!?

I’m not like this AT ALL!

I prefer to sob on my bedroom floor by myself and when my family comes in I pretend like I’m fine XD

and then when I do work up the courage to tell someone what’s bothering me…

I do not want to be held…I want someone to tell me how to fix the probl…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I’m obviously not a guy, but my advice would be to find a happy medium between those two extremes. (Unless he actually would be on one end of the spectrum). Try to think of him as simply a character. Keep in mind that he’s a guy, but don’t get so caught up in that that you give him a reaction that isn’t consistent with his per…[Read more]

@rae

I would encourage you to play around with it and see what you like. This is a first or second draft, so I wouldn’t worry too much about the POVs being in the right place.

But yeah, I really like what Calyhuge suggested. Sometimes you just have to write and figure it out as well. Definitely write from both POVs in this part of the draft, t…[Read more]
