Excellent question, Rose!

I’ve never written in this before, so I don’t think I’ll be of much help.

BUT. I am imagining some seriously funny moments where your trademark-snarky characters break the fourth wall and try and correct something you’re saying. XD

That being said, the best thing I can do for you is wish you good luck!!

Good luck!! 😉

Joelle Stone replied to the topic Showing Internal Conflict in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago

@noah-cochran,

Any tips for not overdoing it on the internal conflict? How do y’all show it instead of tell it so plainly?

What everyone else said. *actually read what everyone else said to understand how to do it myself XD*

Also, what are y’all’s favorite ways to communicate the backstory/ghost that is causing the character’s flaw or misbeli…

@rose-colored-fancy,

Ooohhhh, I loved those tips!! Thanks!

@r-m-archer,

Thanks!!

@rose-colored-fancy,

Ooh, competition makes it easy to stay motivated. 😛

If 50k sounds overwhelming, you can always set a lower goal, like 30k or even less.

Oh, good. *wipes forehead* November’s usually a pretty busy month what with school and Thanksgiving and other stuff going on. 😛

@noah-cochran,

You must do a good…

Woah. 0_0 50,000 words in THIRTY DAYS!?!?! *stares* This I must see.

Is it a safe website?
Joelle Stone replied to the topic NaNoWriMo discussion in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago

*still doesn’t even know what NaNoWriMo is* Erm… I would be interested, but I should probably know what I’m getting into before I dive headlong into it, for once. XD Help?

I gotta say that The Wingfeather Saga is one of the funniest books out there. So. I think that’s it. XD

THERE’S AN ADVENTURES IN ODYSSEY ARTICLE?!?!?! WHAT IS THIS?!!? *deep thanks to Hope Ann for pointing me here through her fabulous newsletter*

I’ve grown up on/am still growing up on AIO. A lot of the time these days it’s my dad who has us start an episode after supper. XD He’s like 40 now and grew up on those. *applauds Odyssey for surviving…[Read more]

Adrenaline flowed through Laragorn’s body as he yanked his bow and an icy miarith arrow from his quiver. “Stay behind me,” he ordered Nora, standing between her and the shadows swarming the camp. Narrowing his eyes, he counted at least four before the fire was doused everything became too much of a darkened frenzy for him to discern the right…[Read more]

Oh, I remember those!! We should add that into our “quest” somehow… Maybe Ian has one of the arrows or something? Thanks for posting that, Kylie!

And yes, Thwapling, great post. 🙂

@noah-cochran,

Well, she was a teenager and had made a commitment not to date until she was old enough to marry. I admired that a lot. Then, afterward, she had resolved not to date any non-Christians, another thing I admired.

True. 😉

This is going to be like OOBER quick ’cause I don’t have much time. XD

Title: War of the Realm series by Chuck Black

Likes: I went into this thinking that I’d probably end up disliking his writing style, since I’ve read a few of his other books and been a little disappointed that the plot was so great but the writing was so bad.

However.

Shaking her head, Nora answered, “No! I mean, they were always slightly pointed, even when I was little, but I thought that was because my ancestors were elves.”

Lagoron frowned. This was unexpected. Was it normal? What even was going on? As far as he knew, he’d always had pointed ears – Larawen too, and she even had a Man’s blood flowing thro…[Read more]

MWUWHAHAHA GREAT JOB KYLIE!

————————————-

Lagoron was grooming Radiance when Nora bounded up, limping with her brace and Eowyn on her shoulder. “Lagoron,” she panted, “you need to see this!”

Concerned, Lagoron turned to the one he had mentally dubbed “Maiden of the Golden Heart” or Malhûrwen. “Is something wrong?” he…[Read more]

@obrian-of-the-surface-world,

I’m so sorry. *swoops in with chocolate milkshakes* Let me know if there’s anything I can do! (Also I admire your outlook on this – I think a lot of people forget that, for Christians, death means life.)`
Joelle Stone replied to the topic The trouble with titles in the forum Fantasy Writers 4 years, 7 months ago

Ooh, I’m struggling with the same thing, Rose! (So yeah, I can’t really help. XD)

Out of the options, I think your last three are your best – they’re a unique format, very descriptive, and obviously have a lot of symbolism packed beneath each word.

Plus they just sound cool. XD

Here’s an article I found that might help!…[Read more]

@kimlikesart,

Love your new pfp!

And about Nithel (sry for the late response), I’m cool with it! Way to make Malvat more suspicious and hostile… XDDDD *has been thinking about adding another character but isn’t sure I can keep up with two*
