@nuetrobolt He does? *Fist-bump…if dragons can fist-bump* I like spicy stuff, too. 😉

@evelyn Whew, that’s good to know. XD

@devastate-lasting That sounds like a lot of fun! Everything’s more exciting at night. 😀 And Chinese food is almost as amazing as pizza. 😛

@sam-kowal Thanks! 😀

I know, right? It seems like the majority of people on here write fantasy, or at least read it. : )

@the-fledgling-artist Yeah, the Big Hero 6 movie is good. : ) I’ve never seen the TV show, but a friend told me it wasn’t very good.

I love your puffin picture! It’s so cute! 😀

@devastate-lasting Yes, pull up a chair!…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 great example! I totally agree with that. I think it’s also a conflict readers can relate to very well, as we’ve all been in situations where we have to do something but either don’t want to do it or believe something that makes it nearly impossible for us to do.

I think internal conflict (at least the strong ones) stem from your characters’ lie.

Say your character believes that she isn’t fit to be a leader but the whole plot rolls around her being forced to take the title to protect her loved ones and make her family proud.

Because of that, she may make mistakes that turn out worse if she didn’t…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting oooh, yes, character paradoxes 😀 It’s almost like the character is one thing but wants to be another, or is two separate things. For your novel, do you just do that with character traits or with beliefs/goals/desires as well?

@devastate-lasting

Of course. Can’t miss watching anime. 😉

Time to set some new goals! I for one blew my goals for last week, except for the first one. Life’s been a bit pushy with my writing time lately 😛

My new goals are:

@devastate-lasting I’ve tried to write in first person SO MANY times and I just never finish anything–I get cramped inside their heads lol. I really admire people who can write that way. ;P

@sageinthemeadow

Thanks! Yes, I totally see where you’re coming from. I remember reading The Maze Runner and thinking, “oh, not to horrible, but not great” until I got to the last page. The book was okay until the author decided to drop enough gore to disgust me out. And I am not one easily disgusted. I, for one, don’t mind violence in stories,…[Read more]

@mariposa @devastate-lasting thank you both! 😉

@wordsmith,

I’ve read all his fiction except for Outlaws of Time 3, which just came out about a month ago.

He is a really good author.

@wordsmith @devastate-lasting

N.D. Wilson is one of my favorite authors! He is amazing at story lines, dialogue, and prose. His books are beautiful.

So neither of you have read Death by Living I guess? That one’s good. I’ve also watched his Notes from a Tilt-a-whirl.

@devastate-lasting I like to write as the omnipotent narrator or a tight third person! What about you?

And getting an Instagram (or not) is a totally personal decision. There are definitely pluses and minuses either way. 😉

@devastate-lasting

Yeah, I play the piano. I’ve been playing for going on 11 years. I narrate myself too, it’s insane XD

Attention, Ereki! The winner of the guild war has been announced. Unfortunately, we didn’t win — Rillumen took the trophy (not sure if we have an official one yet 😉 ). However, I’m really proud of all the work you’ve done writing and/or cheering each other on. We’ll get it next time! 🙂

Here’s the thread with the announcement:…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Okay.
