Here’s my word count for the month of November: 7,240 words.

I know it’s a very tiny amount, but I write like a turtle and I’m in my novel’s editing stages. *Hides*

@noahlitle
Congratulations! I can’t wait to see it!

*Ecstatic gasp* You guys are geeking out about characters! Excellent; let me jump right in here.

Call me one of the masses, but I’m on a Loki craze right now, probably because he’s one of the only well-developed villains I’ve ever stumbled across. *Gazes dreamily into the distance* And…his costume…and his sarcasm…

And I still like Margus…[Read more]

Yes, reward yourself, @noahlittle ! Great job persevering! 🙂

I’ll be trying to re-write the last couple of chapters in my novel this month. Can that count for the word war?

Here’s my word count: 4,778

@noahlittle I’m praying (and rooting) for you! Don’t stop writing! 🙂

I’ll be revising a few chapters of my novel this week; hopefully I’ll get some extra words out of it. 🙂

@daeus-lamb Good point. I suppose Robin Hood wasn’t the best example.
 

How do we write highly engaging criminals without endorsing their criminal activity?

Well, this may be cliche, but I think Robin Hood is a good example of a criminal whose criminal activity was actually good. It was only evil from the eyes of Prince John, but to the starving peasants he was a hero.

Another way to write an engaging criminal might…[Read more]

@literatureforthelight

Both of your works were amazing and hilarious. Well done!

Hi, guys, so sorry I haven’t been helping. I’ll be glad to participate in the editing stage, though.

Welcome, @eden-anderson ! I love your profile picture, by the way! 🙂

@kate Whoa. I’ve never heard of a sequel that picked up with the two love interests as spouses and parents. That’s awesome that you did that. 😀 What genre is your story?

And yes, I completely agree that parents shouldn’t just be cardboard cutouts. They deserve their own hopes, dreams, interests, personalities, goals, etc. Just because a…[Read more]

@sesi I like Willow a lot.

@rosemarylouise Good points, and hooray for How to Train Your Dragon!!! 😀

I don’t know if this is the best example I’ve seen, but Darth Vader’s relationship with his son was sort of non-stereotypical, what with the hand-chopping that went on.

Just kidding. XD Honestly, I thought Hiccup’s mom from How to Train Your Dragon 2 really broke the mold. She and Hiccup were actually on the same side, instead of butting heads.…[Read more]

I watch Daeus, wondering what our leader is planning, and feeling true, genuine hope for the first time in months. Being seated at this table among so many fellow warriors has rekindled within me something that seemed to have fallen asleep.

Perhaps Melkor’s lies had gotten to me as well, and I never even realized.

But I will not longer doubt;…[Read more]

@r-m-archer Lol, that’s a great idea to use personality types from Divergent! I should try that sometime.

@daeus-lamb I really like all of your themes–they sound like they’ll make a rich story.

@noahlitle I’ve began the Dragons of Starlight series but haven’t finished it yet. That’s true, the idea of dragons ruling humans is similar to Bryan…[Read more]
