Also, everyone: I’m hoping to start a Character Castle 2.0 on this Christian writer’s site, if I get enough people from SE interested.

I also wanted to say, I know of this really great christian writers’…[Read more]

I’m so sorry I took so long! I completely understand if you’ve moved on and don’t want this anymore, but for the sake of promise-keeping I’m going to answer anyway. 🙂

Okay, from now until 8pm Eastern Time (USA) November 19th, I’m having a poll as to where we want to hold the writing group: over email or on discord? If you don’t reply by then, I will assume that…[Read more]

I don’t have discord, and neither does Joelle, if I read her post correctly. I may or may not be opposed to getting it–haven’t decided yet. My idea is to wait a few days and see how many others are interested in this idea, and then split into groups: a group…[Read more]

I am trying to get 4-6 people together to form a writing spring group. Basically, we get together at scheduled times to do writing sprints. It could be weekly, biweekly, monthly, whatever.

“Um..him?” The girl drops the hand of the terror-stricken man.

No, not him. I didn’t know you were holding hands.

“Oh, I was talking about that guy.” Great. Now she’s annoyed. Really annoyed. And she’s going to take it out on her boyfriend.

A man rolled in, sitting in a chair. It was newer and better designed than any he had seen. He started to wonder what country the man came from, but his thoughts broke off mid-sentence.

pain shot up and down his right leg, overwhelming the other emotions that bombarded him. He categorized them almost unconsciously.

Anger, resentment,…[Read more]

Here you go! I’m not totally happy with this, but I don’t feel like I can go any further without checking back with you.

Characteristic Moment–Emotional core: longing (What is the MC’s idea of the good life. Show us who that character is at the core.)

What I’m going to do, is get my outline template out and plug your story into it, where it fits, and then we can talk about it–What you need to add or cut or change.…[Read more]
