Hey guys! We have our results back. I haven’t got a chance to read them yet, but I’d definitely going to. …Can’t resist! Second person, guys… 😉

@piperbee Aww, thanks!

@daeus-lamb It’s literally Monday night, but here’s the final draft: The Favor: Final Draft

@kate @piperbee @msqueen8 Aww, thank you!

I did rewrite the beginning to be a little slower, and I accepted most of Kate and Archer’s suggestions, so if you wanted to give it a second/final readthrough before Monday night to catch any last minute details?

@r-m-archer @germaine-han @daeus-lamb

Here it is! The Favor (First Draft)

It’s just thrown together and not terribly long, but I’m hoping this gives us more time and space to really polish that second person voice. Edit away!

@daeus-lamb @piperbee I don’t have too much homework this weekend, but I can try! Sorry I wasn’t able to get started sooner, we’re in the end-of-the-year craze right now, and some major projects are being wrapped up.

If I can get something basic out in the next couple of days, we can do a quick editing phase? I’ll try  to keep it short.

Also,…[Read more]

@piperbee Thanks! How did you decide on your editor?

@piperbee Totally. I’m not the kind of person who asks for work to be edited until I know it’s as good as I can make it, so I’ll probably end up replotting the book and then rewriting it 😛

That’ll be fun.

@daeus-lamb @piperbee

A basic premise could be that the reader walks with a woman when they see two soldiers dying at the edge of a battlefield. The reader’s powers are alluded to and he appears to be a supernatural being when he can perceive the two soldier’s dying thoughts and their pasts regarding a woman they loved. The reader hesitates, then…[Read more]

@piperbee I think the beauty of second person is that although we are talking to the reader, we can make them into whoever we want them to be for the story’s purpose. i.e. “After your mom died, you found yourself taking up her sword and hunting orcs in the forests that bordered your family’s lands.”

I kind of found a better understanding from…[Read more]

Adding on to @piperbee what if the reader also has to deduce who’s talking to them? And we could drop clues throughout the story. The narrator could be something abstract, too, like death or time or something from nature.

Also, I kind of want to do fantasy, but that’s just my preference. 🙂

@eden-anderson

I know, right??!? 😄 I should probably know this stuff…

@piperbee @sesi @r-m-archer @germaine-han

I like the idea of the narrator telling a story that the person doesn’t know… maybe when the person is a baby? Maybe an adoption story?

@piperbee Ooh, WOW!! That’s awesome! And 40k in 8 days? That’s insane. 🤩

Yeah, I’ve really struggled with writing consistently each day, so I’m happy with 3,000 in a weeks time. xD

Oh yes, my peoples. Forgot to tag you. Please enter your word counts from last Monday morning to Sunday night.
