Daeus Lamb

@daeus-lamb Thanks!

It’s still pretty hard to believe that we won.

Everyone did really well this time. I especially like entry three.

So, who wrote what?

@daeus-lamb I believe it. 😛

@daeus-lamb @noahlitle wow, how did we win that… 😛

@kate Pounded —  Beaten — What’s the difference? I end up as a pulp either way. XD *meanwhile:* *wondering how you waltz to music that is obviously in four* *walks away baffled*

@literatureforthelight Thank you for not pounding(beating?) me to a pulp.

@eden-anderson I thanked him for you. 🙂

@daeus-lamb So.. do we get to read the other entries?

@coggleton

Great, I have no idea whether what I’m about to say is helpful or not either, but here’s my thoughts…

So, I really liked what @daeus-lamb said about having the backstory down beforehand, then dropping the character right into the middle of it. Part of me wishes that I could have done that before spending three years writing, but I kno…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb  Thanks!  I feel honored to do it.  🙂

@k-a-grey Cool!

@daeus-lamb Thanks.

@hope-ann @daeus-lamb @ericawordsmith Thank you all for the insight!

You mentioned that the series as a whole will be made up of a bunch of character arcs. When planning the macro-arc/overall plotline, should I be too concerned about which portion fits which arc (i.e., approach the macro-plot by trying to check off each point of the character…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb  @evelyn  Hi, I’ve never really beta read before, but I’d be happy to comment on it?

@evelyn  I’m the one who left the anonymous comment. 😛  I was just reading the story “for fun” and it seems very interesting.

@daeus-lamb Wow, it’s such a cool story and I was just getting into it! But sadly, my schedule is growing tighter with tons of things going on and I won’t be able to finish it. I got about five chapters in and left a few comments, but not a lot. 😛

I’m really sorry that I can’t finish like I signed up to do, but you’re many levels above me in…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb

Sorry. I saw this post and was going to comment but forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder!

This is a really interesting topic and after reading you and Kate’s posts I know I have a lot more work to do at incorporating the past into the story’s present.

@kate

Wow! Great list…between what you and Daeus shared I don’t feel like…[Read more]

@coggleton –

I won’t be much help on this, because I am almost one hundred percent a panster, but I’m gonna tag some people who might be able to help…

@wordsmith

@daeus-lamb I actually did read this, and even though I didn’t reply at that time, I decided that in my world, the country my story occurs in is actually going to be one of several ones that are at war with each other (previously it was going to be a single, isolated one). I haven’t really delved deeper into it, but I think it helps broaden the…[Read more]

@kate

Wow, impressive list! 🙂

@daeus-lamb

Howdy! I’m still figuring out how the past literally effects my story. After reading your post I realized that I had some major rewriting to do.

@daeus-lamb okay so you basically hit every note already, so I’m just going to drop a random list of randomness.

Ways the past can affect the present in your novel:

• The present springs from the past, as Daeus said
• People forget the past, which can lead to:
• Misconceptions about the past, and thus mistaken solutions for problems in the…

@daeus-lamb

*screams*

THIS CANNOT BE TRUE.

*starts hyperventilating*

OH. MY. WORD.

I just can’t even…

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

@daeus-lamb

No problem – very happy I can help! Thanks for letting me know! I read through what you gave me on Saturday and had that cliffhanger feeling… 😛 because I really want to know how it ends.

Anyway, as you have probably seen, I’m slowly adding in comments. 🙂

@daeus-lamb

Do we get the new calendar soon?
