Val:
“Is that your boyf–b-brother?”
I glance up to see a short man beside me, staring inquisitively. Immediately, I drop Calix’s hand, face burning. To think that I’d been casually holding hands with a stranger this whole time….
I glance over at Calix, nervously searching his face. He glares past me, eyes fix…[Read more]

Here is the result of my brainstorm:
Characteristic moment, core emotional longing
Jade longing to become a ballerina and protect her family/friends. Probably only Rosemary, maybe Tray, are her worries at this point. She is thinking of this as she practices dance at home.
Inciting incident, brokenness
Haven enters EoP,…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf are you familiar with the Save the Cat method? That’s the one I’m using right now, and so far it’s really helping!
I’ll still stay in the thread though – maybe once I start nailing the plot down, I’ll have something to tell you guys XD

@e-n-leonard @emily-waldorf Sorry I haven’t been active here! So…after yet another major plot overhaul, my friends finally convinced me to seriously study plot structure…and so here I am…back at square one…with very little plot to show you guys :’)

E. N. Leonard replied to the topic The Place of Plots in the forum Plotting 3 years, 6 months ago
Thank you so much! This is so helpful! Jade being inactive is part of what’s been driving me crazy with this story. And yes, Jade thought Mara was a friend, and so did everyone else. Sorry I failed to mention this.
As for who Isaias is…that’s complicated. He’s a friend of all theirs, who generally spreads insight or chaos whereve…[Read more]

HIIII WELCOME BACK!! Oh no!! I hope your ankle feels better quickly!
@everyone
Whew sorry about the long absence y’all I had an absolute chaos of a weekend, in a good way XD
I’ll try to write Frey later or tomorrow! Also, I’ve been SORELY tempted to bring in Malcolm, for those of you who remember him being mentioned. He’s just…[Read more]

E. N. Leonard replied to the topic The Place of Plots in the forum Plotting 3 years, 6 months ago
That is backstory, yes. And Jade is the main (protagonist) character. Mara is the antagonist.
That sounds great! Thank you so much for your offer of help!

Hello and welcome back! I’m sorry to hear about your ankle! I hope it heals quickly.
😂 he could… @lady-grace said she could drop in her Princess Julia to do it XD she’s such a thundercloud she’d probably want to. Julia can turn into a big black horse, so she can just send Saevus flying with a good kick.
Ah yes, ‘l…[Read more]

I eventually finished it cause I hate to leave a book unfinished. The ending was good, but I can’t say it’s a favorite.
I obviously have no idea how old you are, but for me, I read it in my late teens and wouldn’t have recommended it to myself much earlier.
Yeah, I would probably like it better in a few years🤔.

E. N. Leonard replied to the topic The Place of Plots in the forum Plotting 3 years, 6 months ago
Huh, tag didn’t work. I’ll try again

I took your suggestion and made a spot where we may plot and scheme of plotting. I look forward to discussing this!

E. N. Leonard replied to the topic Hi everyone! in the forum Introduce Yourself 3 years, 6 months ago
Yes, it was amazing! The writing! The all of it! I’m glad I read it, and I would love to discuss it someday 🙂
@lady-grace probably should give it a few years.

E. N. Leonard replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 6 months ago
That’s a good idea, thanks! I shall go investigate the plotting forum…
*enthusiastic hand clapping* Your writing in here is good, btw 🙂

calidris replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 6 months ago
@e-n-leonard @emily-waldorf that would actually be really fun! I think three is actually a really great number for something like that tbh – not too big, but not too small either

calidris replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 6 months ago
@emily-waldorf thank you so much! I might actually end up using a combination of the two, depending on what need help with XD

E. N. Leonard replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 6 months ago
I want my WIP to be absolutely perfect, and I’m scared that if I write it, it won’t be…I know, not the brightest philosophy, but there it is. I love plotting stories! Let me know if you ever think another brain would help– though I’m sure you can figure it out yourself.
Same here… I have this lovely WIP I’m crazy excited over,…[Read more]

@calidris @emily-waldorf (yep, that’s me!)
CALIX:
“The room’s shrinking!”
The scream scared me so bad my flinch sent me crashing forward and I bumped Val. She stumbled, which yanked me forward as the crowd thickened and squeezed us.
The walls in front rolled back, splitting as everyone left the room. The darkness in the new room as so thick…[Read more]

Val:
I glance back as the wall behind me suddenly creaks, rolling forward with a grinding screech. “The room’s shrinking!” someone yells. I stumble, yanking Calix forward as the crowd surges around us. The walls in front roll back, parting as we flee the room. It’s so much darker in this new room. I shrink back as people bump into me, brus…[Read more]
