Yeah some time ago I think I thought it was okay? But thank you anyway 🙂
Oh that’s cool 🙂
I’m not sure if this is the block but I do have a question. On Weiland’s website she has a post at the end of her “How to outline your novel” series and I was wondering if I missed where she explained how to outline the overarching story of a series while still only outlining one book at a time?
Sorry if you haven’t seen this before I just don’t remember if it was in the book or not.
Hey guys it has been a while but I wanted to ask you guys if you know any writer aspies who outline? I’ve been trying to do K.M Weiland version for a while but I’m having trouble :/
That’s great 😀
Wow, that’s a LOT I wouldn’t be surprised if you end up tired (which is okay take all the rest you need) 🙂
I live 😛
As you guys can tell I’ve returned home safely and ready to get back to work 🙂
How have you guys been?
Hey guys 😀
Just letting you know that if you want to contact me. That I’ll be busy this week, my Nan just died and her funeral is on Friday and I have to get a new passport, pack then head to New Zealand. I’ll be staying for four days and might not be able to message you (but I’ll see what I can do) I should be back by Monday night Brisbane time 🙂
Have a good week 😀
Yep, and I’m planning to do four more one day 🙂
You said Ian was kidnapped?
I think that may be a good start to questioning, maybe he thinks Jordan can help him?
I’m glad you’re liking it 😀 (It’s okay, people mostly only come up with one for the main character)
Yeah! There are also many good videos on there too 🙂 (One about villains and another about worldbuilding but I don’t think you’ll need the second one :P)
I’m doing great 😀 Just mostly been studying (I’ve read four how-to books for the success path) this week 🙂
What are you most excited for?
Hey, Fawx 🙂
One thing I’ve learned about character motivation is that there’s something valuable (and/or personal) at stake if the main character doesn’t complete the quest. So may I ask some questions to understand what you’re trying to tell? 🙂
How do Ian’s parents deal with the fate of their friend? Are they sad everytime they’re reminded of him?
What is Ian relationship with his parents? If he feels he can never please them (likely a character lie) he could go on the quest to make them happy (regardless if they want him to or not)
What’s Ian’s character lie? (A character lie is something the character believes that negatively affects his/her life) If you have one, question how that could be tied into the quest.
Is anything outside of the parents’ and friend’s lives at stake? The world?
Why did things turn out that way for Jordan? Did someone curse him? If so how does it feel towards Jordan’s friends?
Not all motivations have to be just, does Ian have a character flaw that makes him want to selfishly rescue Jordan?
Yeah, character lie is hard to pinpoint but it worth wild when you figure it out 😀
I’ve just found your profile and send you a message 🙂
Hey Elizabeth 😀
I know of a post that may help you
I’m focusing on writing a trilogy and duology, so I may be able to give you more tips if the post doesn’t help 🙂
