First rule is that the infodump should be relevant to whatever your character is currently doing I guess.

I suppose I have it easy because I’m writing a parody. That means I can narrate in the driest and most cynical tone possible so that the infodump can hopefully at least be funny.

But what I think works best in most cases is if…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I am working on my WIP, trying to make this passage of necessary infodump interesting… 😑

@rochellaine

I am on a little island called Singapore. I think I am exactly 12 hours ahead of you so your day is my night. Literally.

@rochellaine

Many apologies for disappearing yesterday. It was past four for me so I fell asleep 😛

I’ll be here for a while now though.

@rochellaine

Methinks you should be writing this WIP for you mayhap are better than me.

Here’s some encouragement for you and Chara:

The writer’s pen touched the inchoate page by end of pointed nib,
And, starting with that first drop of ink, brought her to glory from the crib.

Hmm…

@rochellaine

I have been slaving on mine own WIP. ‘Tis a trying journey.

(Just spent a day trying to write deliberately bad poetry because said WIP is a romance novel parody.)

@rochellaine

I’m on now.

@rochellaine

Yep I’ll have more time for writing now! I plan to put up the first part of my WIP for review once I get through some rather troublesome scenes… *glares at the big blank space in the middle of my chapter*

Good news: My project and exams are over now! (Though I am not too sure how well I did 🤣)

Thanks for the prayers! 😀

@introvert_girl

Oops sorry. I put away the file and closed the link for this project because I wanted to keep my focus on my WIP (which I’m thinking of getting some reviews for as well). But I’ll still like to know your thoughts this! The link should be working now. Thanks!

@skredder @ariel-ashira @rochellaine

Thanks! 😀

Hey guys I have a prayer request. I have a project at school as well as upcoming exams that I am struggling with. So if any of you can pray for me I’ll really appreciate it. Thanks!

@rochellaine

OK I’ve requested access! 🙂

@dekreel

I think the others have already given some very good responses so these are just my two cents:

#1: Think of other reasons for your bully to torment people apart from the cliche weakness, jealous or insecurity. For example, some usually nice people that I know unintentionally become bullies when a new person intrudes on the comfortable…[Read more]

@ingridrd

I’m praying for you!

@alia

Oh dear, sounds rough. I’m praying for your friend.

@rochellaine

Just read your post about the adoption. Will pray for your family and the kids too! Hope it goes well and gets settled soon.

@ariel-ashira

Aww… These poems are so fun and cute.

@gh24682468999

My rule of thumb is that main characters should be both bright and deep. “Bright” as in they have some qualities that you (and hopefully your readers) find interesting (note: this is not the same as likable or attractive). “Deep” means that these traits come from a source (the characters’ past or background) that should at least be…[Read more]

@kaya-young

Yep that was the plan. That’s why I introduced plot points such as the other members of the imperial family, the history of the empire, the assassin etc. because they will be relevant to the ‘adventure’ part of things.

But not everything was linking up and making sense. That’s why I have been stuck on this story for a long time and I…[Read more]
