@corine Sure! 15 minutes sound good?

@corine That’s really cool. 🙂

@jenwriter17 Well, I didn’t really give mine…the other’s book introductions are kind of scatted throughout. 😬

@evelyn

I did this to you. I drug you into NaNo without ideas or plans. *whispers* Sorry. 😳 (but I’m still glad you’re doing it.🙃)

Umm…yeah, I have no idea why I said that it starts tomorrow. For some reason my week was messed up…[Read more]

@corine Welcome! Sounds like an exciting project :D.

@evelyn I love all the different characters you have! I hope you find a way to put them all together. 😀

@jenwriter17 Welcome Jenna! 😀 Did Mari make that profile photo for you? Because I love it. <3

And your novel! *gasps* So fabulous. I’m loving the aesthetics, too.

@evelyn Your story sounds awesome! 😀

@corine Ooh, interesting. Can I ask what her disability is? (I’m just curious.) Still-developing magic is super fun! 🙂

@corine Welcome! And wow yours sounds really cool. “Air magic”? Intriguing.

Hey guys, just a quick question. If I created a thread for all the people doing NaNoWriMo to hang out on/do word sprints…would you guys be interested? Or would it just be another distraction? 🙃 There are already a bunch of places for NaNoWriMo peeps to hang out (like the NaNo forums) but I thought I’d suggest this anyways…

Alright. *cracks knuckles*

Okay, so first off, I’m just going to give a total disclaimer – I love magic in books. So yes. I’m a big fan of good implementation of magic in all it’s properties in books and movies.

But now, let’s crack down on exactly what ‘good implementation’ means. First off – magic, defined by the wonderful internet:…[Read more]

@corine

I so meant to reply to this… but I kept forgetting when I was at the keyboard. *Facepalms*

ANYWAY!!

Yes, absolutely. I think it is totally fine to have a world that works differently from ours, but just so long as we know that the power isn’t representing how demonic powers work in our own world. I believe there should be an ult…[Read more]

@corine Well, I try, lol. 😀

Okay, you’re welcome! Yes, that is true!

@corine I’ve wondered about this a lot too. Here’s an article that might help you: http://kingdompen.org/magic-fantasy-and-the-christian-writer/

@corine Jumping into this discussion, I think the most important thing to avoid potentially encouraging people to sin would be to make it unlike demonic “magic” in this world. Things like blood rituals, human/animal sacrifices, and appealing to a dark patron as the source of the powers. Or, if you have them, you should portray them as wrong.

@corine

I love this topic… I really love this question.

So magic… I could say so much about this.

To start off I’ll give my background with magic and why I think we need to be really careful of it, and then I’ll explain how I do believe it can be used.

When I was 12 I had an unpleasant experience with a friend who took magic way too…[Read more]

@corine Strange. Maybe it will work if I try. (:

@ncstokes Yay! *dances around in spaghetti*

@corine Heyo! I’ve done NaNo a couple years running, and I’ve found one of the best strategies for me is just to have fun. This is a first draft, after all, so you can experiment as much as you like, and if you think giving all your background characters the most ridiculous names ever sounds fun, you can! And writing feels like less of a chore…[Read more]

@eden-anderson @corine Happy to help! ^-^

@corine

Well, since the first time I tried NaNo I failed miserably at not even making it halfway, I would stick with @seekjustice and @r-m-archer‘s awesome tips. 😉
