Jane Maree started the topic {Story Theory – Week 11} The Plot Twist Recipe (+ FEEDBACK/SUGGESTIONS NEEDED) in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 6 months ago
We’ve all had that one book that totally blew our minds with the crazy twists and turns of the plot, always keeping us on our toes.
How do authors come up with such stunning plot surprises? How do they blow our expectations out of the water?
Well, let me tell you.
There’s a recipe for everything. And naturally there’s a recipe…[Read more]

@elizabeth Yes!! Finish that book!
Researching publishing! That’s so exciting. 😀
@theinconceivable1 Happy new year to you too!
Those are great goals though! Studying apologetics and theology? So cool!
@caleb-e-king That’s so exciting that you’re gearing up to publish a book! Do you have a cover designer/editor/marketing plan…[Read more]

Jane Maree started the topic Goals for 2019! in the forum Accountability & Achievements 7 years, 7 months ago
First of all: I’m sorry that it’s been so quiet here lately. I’ve been crazy busy over December, and I think we all needed a bit of a break over Christmas. I will, however, be back to the weekly lessons and things next Monday.
I hope you all had a great Christmas! And a happy new year to all of you as well. 😀
I’m not a huge goal-maker, but I…[Read more]

I think you really nailed the first draft. There’s things to work on, but that’s the point of it. 😉
Gather around everyone, and let’s get to editing! I think the main part to work on is a touch of character voice and some more emotion, but the core is there already. So fire away. HERE is the link to the doc,…[Read more]

Jane Maree started the topic {Story Theory – Week 10} Strong Female Characters in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 7 months ago
Strong female characters are one of the hardest sorts of characters to write realistically. Harder than writing a realistic POV character from the opposite gender. Harder even than not killing off your mentor character. 😛
Now, before we go any further, I should clarify. I’m not taking on the normal topic of strong female characters. There’s…[Read more]

Jane Maree replied to the topic PROMPT GUILD WAR – In Dreams in the forum Announcements 7 years, 7 months ago
@caleb-e-king That is an option. I was thinking that it would be real, to make the emotions more raw and deep at the ending. Like “Oh this actually is hopeless and sad” and then have the brother arriving as a shine of hope in that darkness.

Heather replied to the topic Help Please? 😳 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 7 months ago
@caleb-e-king You can’t change your mentioning name, but you can change the name above your mentioning name. For example, my mentioning name is @h-jones, but as you can see, my username is Heather. To do that, you go to Edit My Profile<Name (required), and you change the field under that.
I hope that is helpful and/or makes sense! I’m bad at…[Read more]
