@caleb-e-king Ooh, I read your post about fight scenes! That was great!
My fav part is:
I know that you want to have the character jump off an exploding building and land on his feet with only a shock and then keep running to fight five henchmen and completely knock them unconscious, but that can’t really happen. So even though you are wr…[Read more]

The prompt: write a dream sequence (aka a story in which the character is dreaming)

This week, I want to throw a bit of a different topic into the mix. Discussion!
How Much Research Should Fantasy Writers Do?
I know you’re not all fantasy writers, but I’m sure a high percentage of you have at least read fantasy once or twice. What do you think? Should fantasy writers do research? Why should they or shouldn’t they? What sort…[Read more]

Jane Maree started the topic {Story Theory – Week 7} World Building in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 8 months ago
If there was one thing I least enjoyed when I first started writing, it was world building. I found it boring, pointless, and frankly I just wanted to write my book without having to worry about details.
And now here I am doing a post about world building. What has the world come to?? 😛
I’m not going to pretend to be an expert at this,…[Read more]

After last week’s look at plotting vs pantsing, I thought it would be a perfect time to look at what good plot structure looks like. This is the basic framework of how to have a structured story that has everything happening at the right times for the right reasons.
And it’s called the three act plot structure.

@jillifish You definitely have a point there. It’s hard to forebode and drop clues if you don’t know where the story will end. 😛

Today we’re going to look at the mythical two types of writers: the plotter, and the pantster. It’s going to be a very theoretical lesson, unfortunately, but it will apply more solidly in…[Read more]
