Steward of the Pen replied to the topic I know it's awful XD But can I get some critique anyways? in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 7 years, 9 months ago
@anne_the_noob14 This is a fun story! Everything about it reminds me of how I used to write when I was 9–11 (except my characters were all animals xD).
The main thing I think could be improved is the character descriptions. When you write out a longer paragraph describing all the physical attributes of a character, it slows the pace of the…[Read more]

Ethan Mitchell replied to the topic Hey everyone! in the forum Introduce Yourself 7 years, 9 months ago
@anne_the_noob14 My current WIP is an allegory actually. I’ve been experimenting with short stories since I canned my latest in a long line of book ideas, none of which took off (due to my lack of self discipline). I’ve started so much stuff that I never finished, I just wanted to finish something already! So I just finished my first short story,…[Read more]

The Deranged Ninja replied to the topic Hi, in the forum Introduce Yourself 7 years, 9 months ago
Heh. If I married one of my characters I’d marry either Sharv or Kieron. But… since Kieron’s kinda taken… twice…(it’s a long story) I’d marry Sharv.
I’m glad you think so! 😀 I’m actually writing 2 books with Kari in them right now. Katonia and Parthonia.
In Katonia, Kari is 19(which I might change back down to 18) and…[Read more]

Nope! I’m later in November. So same month though.
Well, if I ever had a crush I didn’t know what it was and still don’t. XD If I could pick who I married though I’d pick one of my characters. XD
Ha! Yeah. I’m… rather mean to my characters. They have horribly painful lives, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Agh! Don’t…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 @j-a-penrose Yes! I am ALL for the idea of it being from the perspective of the prince’s sarcastic horse. Oooh, how about something like this?
- Prince and horse are best friends.
- Prince decides to rescue princess.
- Prince falls in love with princess and ignores horse. Horse is jealous. (And he’s also bemoaning the fact th…

J.A.Penrose started the topic Characters | Lesson 4 : The Other Side in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 9 months ago
A lot of the time, characters are written so that they are 100% good or bad. The protagonist is perfect, good looking, and maybe he has mild claustrophobia as a weakness. The villain is evil, kills puppies and shoots up old ladies in his spare time, and maybe every now and then he tortures someone who spilt his coffee instead of killing them.
If…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Characters | Lesson 3 : The Motive in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 9 months ago
The motive of your character is important. The motive is what drives your character forward, and makes every scene feel strong and meaningful. The character’s motive is what brings about the theme, and what pushes the plot along. Your plot is driven by your character’s motive. Therefore, the character motive could be the most important f…[Read more]

I’m planning on treating this topic as a mini way of making sure that we all can get a fair idea of everything about characters from the super easy things, to the hard things that we all struggle with. (If you don’t, then goodness. Please teach me.)
Pretty much, the first thing I wanted to talk about is going back to the very basics of what a…[Read more]

Taylor Clogston replied to the topic What do y'all think of my current WIP? in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
@anne_the_noob14 That he calls his dad “sir” as basic address caught my attention. The name “Johnson” is odd to me, since it’s usually a last name (son-of-John). But between that and the sack of coins I’m guessing this isn’t modern day =P You mentioned fanfiction. Is this, like, Pirates of the Caribbean fanfic? “Black Hugh” sounds piratey. I’d…[Read more]

Ariella Newheart replied to the topic What do y'all think of my current WIP? in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
@anne_the_noob14 I think it’s a good start! Right off I’m curious about why Johnson’s mom is sick, why Johnson has to leave without his dad knowing, and why everything is so secretive in general. 😛 It does seem a little sudden, though, with the story jumping right into the action.
Here is one of Jess’s lessons about plotting that I found…[Read more]
