Sounds like good ways to end the story, @fawxofthecomics!

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.

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]

Faith Blum started the topic Topic #29: The Third Act in the forum 7 years, 2 months ago
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]

@katherineh If you have some ideas on where you want to go, maybe trying fleshing those ideas out a little and see if that helps motivate you to keep going.
@dragongeek I’m sorry you haven’t had time to write lately. I hope you can find some time.
@storyseeker That would be in the Critiques section of the forum.

Faith Blum started the topic Topic #28: Second half of the second act in the forum 7 years, 3 months ago
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]

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

Hooray! You dashed off at least 50,000 words in one month. Maybe you even finished a full novel. But once the mad rush is over, how can you salvage the mess you created? (Mess is used affectionately here. Since […]

This was very helpful, even though NaNo wasn’t as successful as I was hoping. Your comments and suggestions about critiquing our own work and having others take a look, too, is something I’ve been working more on over the last year and I am glad to read more on it from you 🙂 Thank you!

Yes, this is like an accountability group. I think those would both be great goals! Maybe try for the scene, but push yourself to finish chapter 2?
