@salome01w4g Yay!!!!!

*pokes head in* Hail the late-owl Aussie resurfacing after many days of silence to do some writing while everyone else is quite probably asleep. xP

@dragon-snapper  Not too shabby, my friend.  😉  In other words, it’s really good.  I loooove the collage.  Nice work.  *high five*

@perfectfifths   The Fellowship of the Ring…I think Pippin says it.  😉

@salome01w4g  That’s rough…praying for you, friend!

@shannon and @dekreel

*eyes cookies and milk*  Shucks.  I can’t right now…though the refreshments look delicious.  Have fun!

@dragon-snapper Signing off. I wrote 527 words.

@dekreel I worked on chapter three of the first book in a fantasy trilogy I’m writing.

@dekreel Yes, I’m still here. 🙂

@dragon-snapper I’ll join you for the next hour.

@dragon-snapper I believe lesson three of the course addresses this subject. Have you looked at that yet?

(On a more serious note) Those are good points, @daeus , thanks! 🙂

@daughteroftheking  *shakes finger*  Not yet.  Don’t be naughty.

I like your new profile picture! 😉

@emma-flournoy  Thanks, girl! 😉

@daughteroftheking  Of course!  When it’s finished, of course.  I’m actually pretty close to done!  🙂 🙂 🙂

@shannon I remembered one more thing that’s helped me flesh out characters.

It’s the concept of yearning.

Yearning is different from a goal. A goal is generally viewed in an external light. For instance, the MC of my WIP has a goal of saving the world. His yearning, however, is to live a life that achieves greatness. This is much deeper and…[Read more]

” @dekreel !  Shhh!”  Looks around to see if anybody heard.  Whispers, “That’s a secret!” adding loudly, “Haha, very funny!  Of course, Writer’s Corner is a SERIOUS place where writers ACTUALLY get work done!  No goofing off happens there, haha!” 😉 XD

@Ingridrd That last version is great. I’m too late to help, but you got a bunch of good help. 😉

@Dekreel Sweet. 😀 😀 😀

@Dekreel ooh, that’s an unusually flattering representation of me waking up. It usually involves rolling over at least five times and eventually tumbling off the bed tangled in my fleecy blanket (with static hair flying all over the place) and then crawling my way still half asleep to my closet while splitting my ears with yawning and trying not…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper congratulations on branching out. 😉

They’ve covered a lot… the only thing new I have to add is pretty small. You mentioned that you’re tired of writing snarky characters and want to try something different, but had no idea how to go about it…

Why do you like snarky characters in the first place? Is it because they come easy…[Read more]

@Kina-Lamb well, that’s pretty sound as far as I can see. 🙂 The only step I might add between the two is figuring out the theme, but I’ve not done non-fiction before, so I can’t say for certain how majorly that would figure in.

In your place, I would just ask myself, What lesson does this story teach me? To have courage? To persevere? To be kind…[Read more]
