Karthmin replied to the topic CD Week 17: negative arcs {discussion} in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 2 months ago
@seekjustice You’re right. Negative arcs are quite difficult to pull off well. I think this is partly because they delve into a part of the human experience that is nuanced, complex, and difficult to portray realistically: the devolution of an ideal.
We are very familiar with growth. It is probably the most common character archetype, and for the…[Read more]

(CHARACTER PROFILE) @filewriter
No one knows exactly where Catwing lives, if she even has a house at all or just sleeps in odd places. Either way the black winged cat gets around Erekdale with her ability to vanish like the cheshire cat… Unless she gets distracted, then who knows when she’ll come out of Elsewhere! She has the odd habits of…[Read more] -

@morreafirebird Hi. ๐ I know you use Mailchimp for your blog post and newsletter sign-ups, and I’m having trouble getting together mine. When I’m formatting the email, I add the ‘RSS Items’ block and set it to ‘excerpts’ for my blog posts. But it still shows the full content instead of an excerpt. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Is there…[Read more]

I’m not actually sure ๐ I just copy and paste my written posts into a Mailchimp email every week instead of using the RSS feed setup, so I’m not sure how it works. :/ I’m sorry! (and sorry for the late reply here!)

Thanks for all your feedback, guys! ๐ This is how it’s going to work:
I will set up two boards dedicated to writing. The first will be for writing tips, posts, articles, etc. so we can compile cool articles and promote each other.
The second will be dedicated to story inspiration. ๐ I think we will center it around character inspiration, scene…[Read more]

@hope-ann – Help me understand what you mean by ‘straw man.’ I have never heard that term before.
@sarah-inkdragonย –ย

Inkling-for-Christ replied to the topic What's a good word count? in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 5 months ago
@morreafirebird, interesting. I noticed that my chapters seem to hang around 2-300 with a few being more. I’m trying to set a 600 word per chapter goal just to lengthen it a bit, because my chapters are really kind short

Karla replied to the topic Trying To Find an Editor in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 5 months ago
@morreafirebird Yeah, I am trying my best to find a balance of finding somebody that is affordable, experienced, but I also donโt want to underpay either becuase I know editing is a lot of work. Especially for me, who my friends have declaired the typo queen. XD I will keep all that in mind, thank you!

Inkling-for-Christ started the topic What's a good word count? in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 5 months ago
Hi Emberlingsย (or whatever we call ourselves)
I have a question. I’m working on my manuscript and noticed that each chapter has a different word count. Some barely reach 200, most are between 200-300, a few exceed 800 and only two go above 1,000. What is a good word average for a chapter? I figured that ~420 words per chapter=15K, ~550…[Read more]

@morreafirebird My favorites, when I happen to write them, are usually my comic short stories and poems.ย But those are pretty rare, so my regular favorite is his-fic.ย It’s the genre in which I read and write the most.
Haha, ๐ Crazy short story ideas are the best!
