I really don’t know that much about paramedics, so if someone that knows more about that could start the story, I can take over when we get to the spiritual part??

@jenwriter17 That might work, I’m not sure… We could write the story from the POV of a paramedic, maybe?

The hard part is making it believable. I guess the question I’m asking is, what is really necessary in the scene to make it a “conversion scene”? I know opinions will differ on this, but I tend to lean towards less “Romans’ Road” kind of…[Read more]

Ooh, this is so hard and yet so good. I’ve read so many conversion scenes done badly… Are we allowed to pick whatever setting? Is there a word count limit?

I managed to get 2000 words written last week (not the 6000 I wanted, but at least something.)

This next week I want to write 6000 more, and make intentional time for writing.

Um.. I didn’t write at all last week, but I’m hoping to get back to it this week and write a thousand words a day. We’ll see. 🙂

That sounds like a good idea. To combine several of y’all’s ideas, do you think it would work to start with someone dying (which the villain/hero thinks is their fault), keep going with whatever story happens, and conclude with someone else dying (which is not morbid like the first death, but which is instead a joyful event, and makes the…[Read more]

I really like that idea. It’s different, but it’s really deep and meaningful at the same time, which is cool.

I really like all your ideas!! Why would a person do something that they thought was villainous? (The only option I’m coming up with is that it’s because they think they are right, which obviously doesn’t work in this situation).

Okay, so the next question is, what kind of villain is he? What does he do that is villainous? Also, if he doesn’t know that he’s the villain, what can we do so that the reader knows that he is anyway?

I actually wrote something (2000 words!) This week, I’m hoping to write at least 2000 more.

I really have forgotten about writing… I finished my last chapter, but I really haven’t been motivated to start the next one. Does anyone have any tips on how to get started (again) on the next chapter? I’m more of a pantser than a plotter, so I have a vague idea where the story is headed, but I’m not totally sure. Also, I did end the last…[Read more]

I finished Chapter 7 of my novel, but I still have 5 more chapters to write. I’m struggling with establishing realistic and attainable goals that are balanced with everything else in my life. 🙂

@faith_blum I have really been out of it lately, but I’ve gotten back into writing this week and gotten a lot done. I have a hard time applying ideas about structure/characters because I don’t plan out my stories ahead of time.

Like @storyjoy said, the busyness is getting better and I’ve been able to focus more on writing. I feel like I am very…[Read more]

@faith-blum Honestly, I didn’t do any writing this week (and I didn’t think I would). Next week, though, I hope to get some done!

@faith_blum I got 6139. Not at all close to my goal, but I should have expected it… 😉

I’m stuck with still 6139 words, but I finished my chapter. And I have the feeling I probably won’t write anymore till mid-December. (I’m competing the Bible Bee, so I don’t really have a lot of spare time!)

I think I wrote about 2300 words. Not terrible, but not fabulous. This week, I’m probably not going to write a ton, but I’m hoping to get at least 700 words in.

@faithblum Wow! That’s impressive! I’m hoping to finish Ch. 6 of my book and start Ch.7. I think that works out to about 9000 words. 🙂

Hi! First I have to say that my style of writing is totally different than @brookewolf . I make up the characters when I need them. So in most of my stories, the villains develop when they come into view. The exception to this rule is the book that I totally planned, which has a totally cliche villain who scares absolutely nobody (which is weird,…[Read more]

Yay everybody! I forgot about this… So I wrote today for the second time since the month began!! 😉 I have 2835 so far. And I was trying to finish this book by the end of November, so we’ll see. 😉
