@mairin-atha I love the whole dreamy, star-y feel of her personality!

Jane Maree started the topic {Story Theory – Week 7} World Building in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 5 months ago
If there was one thing I least enjoyed when I first started writing, it was world building. I found it boring, pointless, and frankly I just wanted to write my book without having to worry about details.
And now here I am doing a post about world building. What has the world come to?? 😛
I’m not going to pretend to be an expert at this,…[Read more]

Jane Maree started the topic {Story Theory – Week 6} The Three Act Plot Structure in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 5 months ago
After last week’s look at plotting vs pantsing, I thought it would be a perfect time to look at what good plot structure looks like. This is the basic framework of how to have a structured story that has everything happening at the right times for the right reasons.

Welcome to our first topic about story theory that isn’t talking solely about theme!!! *throws confetti* Okay, celebration over, let’s get back to business. 😛
Today we’re going to look at the mythical two types of writers: the plotter, and the pantster. It’s going to be a very theoretical lesson, unfortunately, but it will apply more solidly in…[Read more]

Yes yes, I know we only just finished a word war, but we’re changing up the schedule a bit.
Most of you probably know that November is National Novel Writing Month. A lot of you are participating in NaNoWriMo too (go Meerkats!!) so we decided that we’d scrap the prompt war and instead…do a month-long word war.
Starting: November 1
Ending:…[Read more] -
