Rose replied to the topic Revealing villain motivations? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 4 months ago
Hi Zee, thank you so much for the advice! Great minds must think alike because Unnamed Character is indeed a minor villain who’s constantly getting in Liorah’s way. He has a lot more ‘screen-time’ than Hakan, so that helps. I actually have several antagonists, (not all villains, some mean well, they just get in Liorah’s way.) and I was…[Read more]

T means turbulent (more emotional), and A is assertive (which is more confident). I’m an ENFP-T.
Saturdays and Sundays are the weekend, so no, we don’t go to school. I could rephrase it as “what would you do to relax after a long and stressful week?”
Thanks, both of you! This is really helpful.

Heads up. We’re moving the guilds to the archives. You’ll still be able to access old posts, but you won’t be able to make new ones.

Hope Ann started the topic Side Characters with no point? in the forum Characters 5 years, 10 months ago
Question from Ethan this week!
How do I include side characters in a “Quest” story who seem to serve no purpose, but who without the quest would seem unrealistic?
Any thoughts, @princess-foo, @kristianne-hassman, @the-inkspiller, @naiya-dyani, @wolverinerm, @devastate-lasting?

Hope Ann started the topic Does old prose have a chance? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 11 months ago
I have an interesting discussion question posed by one of our newsletter subscribers, Madelyn.
I write in an older style of prose, older words and descriptions, often moving  slowly instead of the modern fast paced simpler prose. Does old prose have a chance nowadays? How can I keep it, yet still keep my readers hooked? Can old prose still hold…

Kristianne Hassman replied to the topic Reserved Characters in the forum Characters 5 years, 11 months ago
You brought up some good thoughts here. Charlotte is the kind of character that would think but not say a sarcastic remark because she naturally doesn’t speak her mind and she’s been taught all her life the proper way to act. Although she does also try to think the best of people and give them the benefit of the doubt, so she tries…[Read more]

@hope-ann, @kristianne-hassman
@devastate-lasting and @Princess-Foo have great responses – but I already typed this thing up so I may as well send it in. 😛
A quiet, passive, reserved character needn’t be inert.
While others are off gallivanting about, sassing each other and exchanging their witty repartee, she plays the part of the straight m…[Read more] -
Hope Ann started the topic Reserved Characters in the forum Characters 5 years, 11 months ago
Another character question, this one from Kristianne!
I know that most people (myself included) often find energetic, active, and sassy characters (especially girls) more interesting than quiet and reserved characters. One of my main characters is quiet, more passive (although she definitely acts), and proper. How do I make her seem interesting,…

Hope Ann started the topic Characters with other nationalities in the forum Characters 6 years ago
This week’s question for the newsletter comes from Eowyn. 😉
How can I write characters of different nationalities in ways that aren’t offensive to people of that nationality?

And @princess-foo, you’re right about having a sort of George Washington! I will certainly apply it! Thank you 😊

Hi. I’m new here and I know you don’t know me at all, but I get what you’re going through. I’ve gone through stuff like that before.
I’m praying for you.

Write it out in a journal.
Don’t listen to the lies in your head. Satan is trying to attack you.

Taylor Clogston replied to the topic Why does my writing have to glorify god in the forum Themes 6 years, 1 month ago
@phoenix Oh I definitely feel you regarding all the existential dread. I’ve struggled with specifically the same frustration that humanity is a joke because our entire existence is intended to give ourselves up to the same thing all the rest of creation already does, and even with wishing we could just become annihilated after death.
What gives…[Read more]

Hi everyone! I’ve come with kind of an update on my mom and another prayer request.
So, I think everything’s been figured out with Mom’s sickness. She has osteoporosis and an autoimmune disease that I can’t remember the name of at the moment. But she’s been really exhausted every day and there’s been a lot of crazy between her and my older…[Read more]
