Hey Avensers!

Sorry it took me so long to post another theme topic XD. Today I have a question for you inspired by a book called, The Emotional Craft of Fiction.

Do you think fear can hinder us from imbuing our stories emotion? If so, how?

Morning, Avensers! 😀

I completely forgot to lay out what our guild actually is for the new recruits *facepalm*. So, here’s a brief outline of what we do here:

What’s the purpose of the guilds?

The purpose of the guilds is to foster a small community of writers who can encourage and strengthen each other.

Here are all the subcategories of Ave…[Read more]

I’m going to be honest, I couldn’t think of anything to post this week. So, since topic #10 didn’t have any replies (because I didn’t tag anyone. Silly me. 😛 ), I thought I’d revive and expand on it.

A while back I found this quote in a book about fiction and emotion, and it hit me pretty hard:

“When readers feel strongly, their hearts are o…

Hey Avensers!

I have another little exercise for ya.

Emotional reactions are often connected to what we value. When something we hold dear is insulted, it evokes a strong emotional reaction.  That said, what characters get emotional about should be directly tied to what they value.

Say your character Phil loves unicorns and has dedicated many…[Read more]

Afternoon!

Different cultures have different standards for emotional expression. For instance, some societies may prize nobility and honor and encourage taming emotions that may undermine those ideals. One might encourage emotional reactions to misfortunes, while another might suppress even justified sorrow or anger because they expect their…[Read more]
