By outer conflict, do you mean plot?
Also, by “character”, do you mean your main character? Villain? Side character?
Trying to understand so I can answer better. š

Elizabeth started the topic In Which *surprise* My MC Decides to be Difficult in the forum Characters 8 years, 5 months ago
I have a bad habit of creating difficult characters, guys.
My current MC didn’t start out difficult, though. His overall personality is justĀ stubborn,Ā which brings me to my problem: he refuses to believe in what he can’t see. And considering that one of the most important parts of my book is when he accepts Christ…that’s an issue.

Elizabeth started the topic Perfect Prose? in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
Okay, so this question has been lurking around in my head for some time now, and I’m (almost) embarrassed to ask it. But considering the short story contest is at the end of this month, and I’ll have to edit my entry soon, I figured now is a good time.
Is there such thing as perfect prose? If so, what does it consist of?
My story is in 1st…[Read more]

@kate It definitely flows better, but I still think it reveals too much about the story.

*peeks around the corner*
Hi, guys. Long time no see! I haven’t been on the forum much lately, which means I haven’t been active in the guild lately, which means…I’m really, really sorry. My busyness should lessen on Friday.
This post might not be completely necessary, and if it goes against any guild rules at all, feel free to let me know @dae…[Read more]

@kate Oh! That.
Honestly? It’s a bit wordy, and it reveals a little too much about the conflict of the story. It’s also a tad hard to read and the grammar is funky in places.
Other than that, it’s solid.

Elizabeth replied to the topic Multiple protagonists/Book with no climax? in the forum Characters 8 years, 5 months ago
Beeeeeeee careful.
I’ve struggledĀ a lotĀ with balancing different characters all at once, and what’s more, I’ve read books where the author attempted to do this and failed. I’m not going to tell you that having so many protagonists is wrong, because if you can do it well, than go for it. But I am going to warn you: not balancing your p…[Read more]

Okay. I think you’re misunderstanding things a bit here, so let’s separate a couple of these issues regarding your first question:
CharacterĀ andĀ Theme:Ā These two issues are similar in different ways, but they’re also different. Based on what you said you’re trying to do, it sounds like you need to focus on character and theme as two separate is…[Read more]

Elizabeth replied to the topic Incorporating God Into Fantasy in the forum Themes 8 years, 5 months ago
Have you ever read any of Wayne Thomas Batson’s books? Most of them, particularlyĀ the Sword in the Stars,Ā manages to incorporate God into the story, by way of using either a specific name of God, or a specific attribute of His.
Others may disagree, but my personal opinion is that, in Christian fantasy, the most important thing is portraying God a…[Read more]

You gotta give me more of a warning before you unload these heavy questions, Daeus. *snorts* *grins*
I’ll answer honestly. My honest answer is…I don’t know. I’ve yet to finish one of my recent WIPs, so I don’t know if I have any actual character issues, aside from the ones I’ve come across in the early stages of figuring them out.
