Can you believe Story Embers has been around a whole year?! 😮 I can’t even handle all the hype. We already have many exciting festivities going on, but I wanted to add a little something extra to the hullabaloo…

Oh, that would make sense if those scenes worked as William’s first plot point as well as Charlotte’s characteristic moment; they show what her normal is. And her uncle’s exposure of William would be her inciting incident, right? It’s definitely William’s 1st plot point like you said… but now I’m wondering where William’s 1st major…[Read more] -

Well, here ya go. This is the first time I’ve put Ignis on paper, well, on a digital document, but you guys get what I mean XD I’ve been meaning to get her written down as she is going to be important in one of my current WIP, but I never got around to it until today/yesterday 😀 She has many quirks and I absolutely love her for them.

Hey, don’t worry about it! I know it can be hard to respond sometimes (especially since I can take awhile…). 🙂
I like your sequencing for the characteristic moment. I have a little trouble with this part of the plot because it almost seems like there’s two characteristic moments: the time frame you described and the events between…[Read more] -

This week we’ve got Faith Blum (a former Meerkat!) with some wise advice about writing with a busy schedule. I’m sure we can all relate to this. 😅
24 hours. 1,440 minutes. 86,400 seconds. That’s how much time we have each day. And yet, it seems like we never have enough hours, minutes, or seconds to get everything done. What do you do when y…

@jessi-rae It can be a slow process, but that’s okay! It took me ages before my first lot of beta readers, and the book that I have betas go over…is now totally scrapped except two of the characters, which I used in a much better book. 😛
Hang in there, and keep writing!

@e-b-raulandsI love everything you guys said! You all had some great thoughts.

Ah, Charles Kemp! Thank-you! (He’s probably going to come up more in our discussion, so it’s probably good I can call him by his proper character name.) 🙂
I’m not so sure he’s unredeemable so much as he chooses not to be redeemed. Like Jessi noted, he seems to recognize the fact that he’s evil, but instead of being driven towards…[Read more] -

Long ago, in a land and time far from our own, the worlds were in chaos. Prose was destroyed by clichés, stereotypes ruled with iron fists, and the terrain was made treacherous by plot holes of every size and hazard. What’s worse, there appeared to be no end in sight for the tortures oppressing readers of every genre.
Then they came.
