Oh, and I should probably mention as a disclaimer that Kyle uses mild cuss words.

@ashlyvye Ok, thanks for the feedback. 🙂 I was thinking there was too much dialogue and not enough other wording. It is how I write. I am a screenwriter at heart. 😛 I’ll work on it a bit more and tell you when I’ve updated it, see what you think then.

My outline is done! My characters are all happy with their story arc (I hope), which means I am happy. 🙂 I writing the first chapter this week, and will be nicely on track to finish it August. 😀

*sigh* We just lost our Word Master. Good thing next week I am starting my book. That means I’ll have more words to contribute to the word wars. 🙂

Talking about the word wars… are we not doing a Guild War this week?

@snapper I love those drawings. The Loki one breaks my heart. He looks so young and innocent… and alive… 🙁

@ashlyvye I think it would be more like his story is a side plot. My mind is already bursting with ideas for this book.

Thanks for the help everyone. I have decided to go with the DID idea, it has a very interesting story with it and it has grown on me.

@daeus-lamb You are correct, DID isn’t a random occurrence. It usually comes after a traumatic experience, like abuse as a child. I was thinking if I did choose to give him DID it would play well into a traumatic backstory. And I know that just because his alternate personality is evil doesn’t make his character perfect. Both have their flaws and…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, I understand about DID. When I was thinking about it and trying to decide how to write this I was not trying to be disrespectful to any disorders. I have some people very close to me who have suffered through mental disorders, and some who have lost family members due to them. I have researched all the disorders I might show in…[Read more]

@sarah-inkdragon I think if you are writing it for an older audience, then you can write it for an older audience. Don’t hold back because your afraid some young kid is going to read it. And you can write a good fantasy book geared towards a secular audience and still put Christian themes into it. Just look at Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. 🙂

@emma-starr @jenwriter17 I’m really liking the DID idea too. And Emma, that is exactly what I was thinking when I found out about DID. I have always loved the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. 🙂

@emma-starr What would make it more unique? That he has DID, or that he gets redeemed in the end?

Yay! I am so glad you read Blue Castle. 🙂

@r-m-archer Thanks for the insights. I’ll keep them in mind as I plan this out. 🙂

@r-m-archer But a redemptive arc would also mean more work, since he is a serial killer, who has been killing people for over 10 years because it is fun to outsmart the police. How do you do a redemptive arc for that?

@thetessinator Those problems were the reason why I was asking on here, because I understand that if it is the Disorder that is the bad guy, then it isn’t really him that is evil.

@daeus-lamb Yes. Dissociative identity disorder is when someone has 2 or more personalities, with all of them being very different from each other. In some extreme…[Read more]

@nuetrobolt Thanks. 🙂

@scribbles I don’t really have an evil laugh either. I am too much of a softy, I don’t really like putting my character’s through pain. When I have to I am crying, not laughing at them. So you’re not alone. Maybe we should start a “Lonely Laughs Club”, for people who don’t have evil laughs. 😛

@scribbles I’ve been harping on my parents to plan a family trip to the Ark, you are so lucky you got to go to it. I love anything to do with Answers in Genesis. 🙂

Welcome to the Emberlings den @itisastarrynight 🙂 It seems like a lot of new people are refugees from KP. That’s kind of sad. Yet exciting at the same time because that means Story Embers is getting bigger!

The biggest thing in here is the guilds. I really enjoy being apart of Rillumen, we won the Guild Battle last week. 🙂 You can learn more a…[Read more]

@parker Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind as I am planning this all out. 🙂
