This sounds exactly like what I’m putting my story through right now. Good luck to both of us. 😛

Yeah, cliches aren’t fun. I hope part 2 helps with that!

All the implied spoilers for Beta Sun… 😛 And now whenever I read one of your death scenes I’ll wonder, “Is this my doing?”

Brandon Miller commented on the post, 3 Reasons You Should Kill a Main Character 8 years, 2 months ago
Yes. Yes yes and yes. Books… let people die.
Okay, I’ve ranted enough. Thanks for reading and sympathizing. -

*death toll increases*
Thanks for reading! -

The more I’m reading these comments, the more I’m realizing that I have the blood of many characters on my hands.

Oh my word I love that short stories can sometimes do things like that so much easier than novels. That’s the best.
Chalice, I wrote something about that back on KP last year. Check it out for some thoughts that might help point you in the right direction: http://kingdompen.org/how-to-craft-bittersweet-endings-that-dont-turn-off-readers/

Well… cool!
And nobody had to even die! -

You must have a big wall.
😛
(But thanks!)
I feel like I’m a serial killer consultant or something. Everybody waiting around for me to tell them how to kill their next victim.Dear NSA: this is all just fiction. Honest to goodness.

Brandon Miller commented on the post, 3 Reasons You Should Kill a Main Character 8 years, 2 months ago
Yeah, POVs are harder to kill believably. I can’t wait for the next movie!

Brandon Miller commented on the post, 3 Reasons You Should Kill a Main Character 8 years, 2 months ago
All main characters hate you as well as me. We’re a good team.

Yeah, Grace is good at what she does. Go her!

*Thinks about next Raiders episode* Now I’m scared.
Oh… favorite speaker is hard. Mr. S, obviously. He has taught me 95% of everything I know about writing. But Nadine was great too. (Duh.) And Steve Laube was phenomenal and insightful and really encouraging. (Also duh.) And hey, Mary Weber’s keynotes were so just… honest. I loved…[Read more]

Since @graceabounds2129 has more written and we’re right up against the deadline, lets go with first person. I’mma have to grab this in 3.5 hours so let’s make things happen!
-
Brandon Miller replied to the topic Welcome to Rillumen! in the forum Announcements 8 years, 2 months ago
I now know that I need to get back to that. That sounds so cool. (Also, points to you for recognizing that a subplot didn’t work. That’s hard.)

Brandon Miller replied to the topic A Fun War in the forum Announcements 8 years, 2 months ago
(Also, I like the way the story starts! Keep going!)

Brandon Miller replied to the topic A Fun War in the forum Announcements 8 years, 2 months ago
@graceabounds2129 I have to turn it in before I go to sleep tonight so… let’s say 10 central time.
@wordsmith Yes, all that most definitely. Go do the thing.

Brandon Miller replied to the topic A Fun War in the forum Announcements 8 years, 2 months ago
@graceabounds2129 is correct, today is the due day. Scary.
I’m sorry I dropped off the map last week. I thought I could stay in touch at while I was at Realm Makers but heh… that didn’t happen. So yeah, today is the day… and I’m off to work. I’ll check back in at lunch to see what’s going on, but if y’all want to enter something this ti…[Read more]

Shoutout to @mariposa for her amazing painting skills and taking the adventure to visit the SE staff that made it to Realm Makers. It was so great to see her and Brianna! (And she painted us cool things.)
-
@brandon-miller You’re muchly welcome! I’m so glad you like your painting! 🙂 I spent the week beforehand studying everyone’s bios so I could fit the paintings to each person’s personality. 😉 It was cool to finally meet y’all! Now I can more accurately portray everyone in Raiders of the Lost Arc. 😜
I never got the chance to ask you, but who was y…[Read more]

@brandon-miller Excuse my ignorance, but who is Mr. S? 😉
Gabby didn’t answer my question either, but I’m aware I asked a hard question. 😜 Maybe this question will be easier: was there a speaker you *didn’t* like?
-
Mr. S is Daniel Schwabauer, creator of the One Year Adventure Novel curriculum and derailer of my life (in all the coolest ways.)
And no, there wasn’t a speaker I didn’t like. That would have been sad.
