How did your goals go last week and what are your goals for this week?

My goals last week were a fail with the exception of finding a formatter. This week I want to go through my proofreader comments and finish writing three book reviews.

And now we get to the best and hardest part of the story. It’s where everything finalizes which means we have to say goodbye to our characters, but it’s also the best part because our characters finally get it and learn from all the problems you’ve put them through.

The Climax

The key to a good climax is a satisfying ending, but also something…[Read more]

How did your goals go last week? I got about half of mine done which isn’t too bad since I had very little energy all week.

Do you have any goals for this week?

Good morning again, Avensers!

We have another writing prompt war! This time the prompt is: write a story with a non-cliché happy ending.

Our deadline is February 17th at midnight to finish at which time it will be submitted by a guildmaster. I will be judging, so I can’t help you out at all (so please don’t tag me in here). One of the other…[Read more]

How did your goals go last week? What do you have for goals this week?

In the third act of the book, the hero faces his or her inner demons and completes their character arc while in final conflict with the antagonistic force. This is where it all comes together.

Third Plot Point

Before all of that can happen, though, your MC must reach their low point. This is where what he wants most will be almost within his…[Read more]

Hi, Avensers! How did your goals go last week? And what goals do you have this week?

The second half of the second act is where things start heating up and is also the last change to get all the pieces in place. Your main character is starting to take charge of his or her life and your climax is quickly approaching.

The series of actions in the second half mirrors the series of reactions from the first half (see previous topic…[Read more]

How did your goals go last week? What are this week’s goals?

I almost finished mine. I’m planning to completely finish it today.

Good morning, Avensers! How did your goals go last week? And what are your goals for this week?

I was able to finish my goal from last week. Barely. 😛 This week, I will be finishing one last edit of my novella.

Good morning, Avensers!

Apologies that this is so late. I really meant to do it yesterday, but had dinner guests which meant cooking and cleaning and both took a lot longer than I expected. But here we are now and I’ve got the first topic of the year.

Second Act

The second act comprises roughly 50% of the book. This is where most of your…[Read more]

How did you do with your goals over the break? What goals do you have for this week?

My goals changed throughout the break. My original goal was to do editing. Then I decided to do a total website rehaul instead. And succeeded in that.

This week, I NEED to finish editing my novella.

Hey everyone!

Sorry I’ve been inactive for so long.  The holiday season has been more crazy even than usual, as we flew home from CA to TN a few days before Christmas to deliver my dog’s litter of puppies.  We’d left her with friends and found out she was pregnant, so that changed our plans up a bit.  The puppies were born Christmas night, and I…[Read more]

I know I’m late on both counts. Sorry about that. It’s been a whirlwind week. I ended up visiting my family unexpectedly (for fun) and didn’t bring any of my notes along for this week’s weekly lesson thingy.

Until next week, how about we discuss how our Christmas was and any goals/resolutions (especially for writing) we may have? (I’ll post in…[Read more]
