I really like @literatureforthelight ‘s idea. I really, really like that idea.

I think we could combine it with the regret idea, in the way that @corissa described.

So, he’s doing something in his dream, and through the course of his dream his late wife starts helping him in a way that is reminiscent of the moment he regrets, and the dream e…[Read more]

@literatureforthelight

Oooh I like that idea…

@kate  Agreed. What if we did just a random dream? Where the dream is the story? Kind of like Alice In Wonderland. It’s not a very good idea, I just thought I’d throw it out there.

What if we did a dream about the future, write it in past tense and use some of your ideas for a dream about the past, then when the character wakes up, we write in pr…[Read more]

@kate

That’s a great idea. But…

Something that @chalice said last night was to not use the first idea thrown out there, but to come up with something better. We’ve been so close to winning these past few times. Let’s do something different this time.

Let’s force ourselves to come up with three or four ideas. And then only use the best, or m…[Read more]

Okay, guys. Here’s the names I came up with:

Pravus-Hasan

Salus-Sharun

I just looked up the Latin and Arabic words for good and evil, and combined them.

Thank you everyone for your ideas. I’m not entirely satisfied with it, so I might come be back in the future. Maybe. I don’t know.

Thanks again! @bama-rose @literatureforthelight @daeus-lamb…[Read more]

I’ve got another question.

Are we doing a story opening? And if so, what kind are we doing?

Are we doing a Kung-Fu Panda type dream sequence opening, where everything is awesome, but it’s not congruent with the character’s life? Or are we doing an Inception type dream sequence opening, where the dream is the character’s life? Or are we doing a…[Read more]

(excited grin emoji with maniacal laughter goes here)

This is something I think I could do! This could be as much fun than the fish one!

I would love write the first draft. What kind of dream are we writing?

*puts on a calm facade.*

I’m sorry. I’m a completely normal person that is not as excited about this as I appear to be.

I agree with @lit…[Read more]

Folks, I have been mostly gone for the last four days with no access to internet, and will be gone again tomorrow. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my stuff/answer my questions — I will (hopefully) be able to discuss stuff more in depth with you guys on Wednesday.

@literatureforthelight and @maddiejay, Six of Crows 😀 <3 I love both Inej and Kaz (though Inej is my favorite; sorry, Maddie). Also, @samuel, I just ordered Ender’s Game today (before I read this) because I’ve been intending to read it. I’ve heard awesome things.

@kate, I agree about Luke Skywalker. He is *soooooo* whiny! 😛

My favorite…[Read more]

Hey guys! Sorry, I’ve been traveling and pretty much without internet. This is a perfectly fine place to place your word counts. I’ll be calculating the winner as soon as I’m able.

Okay, guys. Here it is.

And again, just in case:

Good or Evil

It’s a rough draft.

I only have one request: Please read the whole thing before commenting or editing.

And if you have time (or if you don’t have time for commenting or editing), post here and tell me how it makes you feel. Or how it makes you…[Read more]

@ethryndal  For Liriel, I might add some faltering thoughts that seep into her subconscious, like what @literatureforthelight said. And then, have her push those thoughts away and force herself not to dwell on things like that. But as her character arc goes on, have the changes be more dramatic, perhaps. Maybe have her doubt her little more, or…[Read more]

OKAY, folks. Apparently, I have the esteemed position of Featured Guild Member. And not only that — I’m also the first featured guild member, so I can’t piggy-back of off previous examples because there are no previous examples. Which means I have to trailblaze this thing, WHICH MEANS…

This is the long-winded way of saying, “I have no idea…[Read more]

@literatureforthelight

Okay, that makes sense…yeah, that makes a lot of sense. 😀 So, basically we should focus on what our story is about and a theme will come from that???

But what if you want to write a story that focuses on some particular subject or idea…and you decide that you are going to make that your theme, even before you have…[Read more]

Sorry I’m late. This week’s word count for Good or Evil: 3,845. I think that’s a record

And I finished the story!

Word count for the finished story as of yet is: 14,627.

I’m still going to work on adding scenes and editing this next week, though. And I’ll try and post what I’ve got Friday evening.

Thank you all for your support and…[Read more]

Okay, people, if you want to have another mini word war I say let’s start today and go to Friday, which is the last day of November.

Talk to ya’ll then!! 😁

Hope you guys don’t mind that I re-tagged all of you.
