Okay guys! I’m going to be ducking in fairly regularly for a while to make sure you get some things started! *cheers* I’ve quickly whipped up a doc for you to work on, but for now I think ideas are needed. After all, we want to make sure your guild does awesomely, even though your actual Guildmaster isn’t here. I mean, if you don’t do awesomely it…[Read more]

Hello friends!

Our discussion is pretty short today. 🙂

What are the best ways to make readers connect emotionally with characters?

‘ello!

*Hands cookies to everyone to celebrate the first official meeting of the Avensbeck book club*
Welcome to the Avensbeck Book club! Each week we’ll be reading 2 to 4 chapters of the Hobbit. I’ll start chapter discussions on the Friday of the week the chapters read. I’ll start the next one on the following Friday and so on and so…[Read more]

Gabrielle Pollack replied to the topic Avensbeck Book Club, Anyone? in the forum Avensbeck Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago

@kiraelizabeth Yup! I’m putting it up soon.

Gabrielle Pollack replied to the topic Weekly Goals #3 in the forum Avensbeck Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago

@kiraelizabeth You did? Yay! Congratulations! 😀 😀 😀

*throws confetti* I finished mine extremely early Sunday morning, so it almost counts as last week’s accomplishment. 😉

Gabrielle Pollack replied to the topic Weekly Goals #3 in the forum Avensbeck Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago

@kiraelizabeth Awesome! I hope you can get it done! 😀 *cheers you on*

@toklaham-veruzia Smart! I wish you luck 🙂

Write the most emotionally impactful death scene you can.

Now, I can’t help you at all on this one. I can’t even see the ideas on this thread, because I’m the one who’s going to be judging all the sce…[Read more]

I fear I’ve been rather lax in this weekly goal thing, but no more! *Waves sword threateningly at my goals*

What are your goals for this week? *hands you all motivational cake*

I’d like to finish the third draft of my WIP. 🙂

Gabrielle Pollack replied to the topic Melodrama *dramatic music* in the forum Avensbeck Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago

@kiraelizabeth Ooo, I haven’t thought about that. It’s hard keeping characters consistent, especially if you are writing or editing a book over a long stretch of time. You can forget how your character has acted in past chapters. Not that I have this problem at the moment or anything. 😛
