Karthmin started the topic CD Week 9: morals/belief system (discussion) in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 5 months ago
Ereki,
Because I want to get this up before tooooooo late this evening, I will skimp on my initial comment and just introduce the topic, which is the belief system which your character operates on/approaches life with.
A characters moral beliefs will inform their voice (which we looked at earlier), is usually developed early in life (which…[Read more]

Ereki,
It is the beginning of a new week, and we are once again given the gift and blessing of seven days not yet lived, which we can fill with usefulness and diligence! Let’s do so!
As a small way to help with that, post your goals for this week! If you wish, you can update us about last week’s goals, too. 🙂

Ereki!
*krees loudly*
Come, my faithful warriors! We are once again summoned to battle! But this time, we fight that giant foe, slumber. Yes, that’s right! We have been tasked with writing a dream sequence – which is to say, quite simply, a scene/short story-ish thing where the character is in a dream.
*rubs hands together* Okay. So. This k…[Read more]

Let’s see here…
1. Fantasy, sci-fi, and action/adventure
2. … It is bad… It needs a rewrite… So I’m not going to dig it up right now. 😛
3. When the author makes everything fall into place to nicely.

Karthmin started the topic CD Week 8: backstory (discussion part 2) in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 6 months ago
Hey Ereki!
So, last week, we focused on how the backstories for our characters should tie into and effect our character voices. And I think it was a very beneficial discussion, all things considered. We had a lot more involvement than in some of the past weeks, so that made me really excited. I love to see everyone’s thoughts, and if possible,…[Read more]

Karthmin replied to the topic November 2018 Accountability in the forum Accountability & Achievements 7 years, 6 months ago
It’s the last week of November! In fact, by the end of this week, we will have dipped into December, the last month of the year!
And then cometh 2019. O.o
You know what, though? I’m excited about 2019. I’ve experienced a lot of growth over the course of this year. A lot of hardship and some of the most intense troubles of my life so far, and yet…[Read more]

Karthmin replied to the topic CD Week 6: character voice {writing} in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 6 months ago
So… Character Voice.
First, let’s define character voice briefly. This is important because we need to be aware of and distinguish between three different voices here: authorial voice, narrative voice, and character voice.
First, authorial voice is your voice: your humor, your natural patterns of words, your instinctual word choices, and e…[Read more]

So, I missed the October critique, but I’m back with my November piece now. This is actually the first chapter of a novella that I’m writing that I posted here before for a few Alpha readers to look over. It’s only written up to chapter 4 so far, but now that my school has leveled out a little and midterms are over, I’m expecting to be able to…[Read more]
