@emgc @filewriter sounds great! You don’t have to be on here every day, but just popping in once a week or so would be great 🙂
@the-inkspiller wow, that’s close. Like I mentioned, it’s fine if you go dark for a little bit when you’re busy, though if it’s for a longer period of time, give me a heads up.
@devastate-lasting I say that to myself…[Read more]

Alright, guys, college is about to start, so I’ll be radio silent for a while still. If any of you guys (or untagged people you know) are fellow students at Texas A@M let me know, and maybe we can meet up in person. Until next time, sayonara.

Audrey Caylin started the topic 2018 Week 16: When to pull back on conflict in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 2 months ago
Hey Ereki!
We’ve been talking a lot about putting conflict into our stories and how to do it, but now I want to pose a question: at what moments in a story should internal conflict (temporarily) die down?
Like action sequences, internal conflict rises and falls throughout a story; if it were intense all the time, it would feel stagnant and…[Read more]

Audrey Caylin started the topic 2018 Week 15: Creating internal conflict (an article) in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 3 months ago
Good morning, Ereki!
Today I have an excellent article on conflict for you all. Well, actually, it’s Brandon Miller’s article, but since he wrote it when Kingdom Pen was still active, I don’t think I’m betraying our guild 😉
When you’re done, share one point or idea that really stood out to you and how you’re going to use it to…[Read more]

Audrey Caylin replied to the topic August 2018 Accountability in the forum Accountability & Achievements 8 years, 3 months ago
And here we are at another Monday (one of these days I’ll come up with something more original to say 😉 )
My new goals are:
– get a tangible plot for an idea I’m playing around with
– write an article
– create a Pinterest board for the plot bunny that attacked me yesterday
What about you all?

@ajaj2000 I’m really excited about figuring it out for the one specific character; I don’t know what it would be like to pinpoint it for all of them! This is so cool! Totally not nerding out XD
Yay! I’m loving it so far. I haven’t had a chance to get past the getting started stuff in the library cause I’ve been busy with life. But, as soon as I…[Read more]

Audrey Caylin started the topic 2018 Week 14: Showing internal conflict through external conflict in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 3 months ago
Morning, Ereki!
This week’s annual theme discussion is about how to show internal conflict through external conflict. Since internal conflict is so…internal, it often needs to to be reflected in a physical battle for readers to better grasp it. That’s exactly what today’s discussion is about: finding examples in books, movies, or your own…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 No, they’ve been super helpful! It’s reminding me of what Josiah said about Experiments in Living. I’ve been trying to come up with a few and test them out on some of my characters, flesh them out you know. I have one sort of formed for one of my two MCs, but I’m still working on it.

Good morning, Ereki!
I’m shifting our annual theme discussions a bit by focusing on external conflict, so for today, I have a question I’d like us to answer and discuss:
What is the best external conflict you’ve ever read/watched, and what made it so fantastic?
As with most discussions, there isn’t one right answer, so feel free to share your…[Read more]

YES! I need to totally read up on some villains. I’m so weak as a writer in that area. I’ve been working hard to strengthen my villains, so I will definitely add that to the to-read list. Man, you are just a…[Read more]
