E. N. Leonard replied to the topic How do you write the aftermath of a betrayal? in the forum Fantasy Writers 9 months, 3 weeks ago
I’m dealing with similar events in one of my own stories, so I’ll tell you what I’ve learned. Short term, any casual reminders of that friend are going to hurt. Depending on your character, she could either be open about this and angry, closed and bitter, or sad that someone would do that, or perhaps all three. Long term, it seems…[Read more]

Hi Storyseeker! I’ll see if I can answer a couple of these! Also, your story idea sounds so fascinating! That’ll be a lot of fun to write!
How do you know how many points of view to tell the story? You obviously need at least one, but when do you know that you have too many?

@storyseeker Haha, I get you. 🙂 I think what would help most here would be watching foreign movies! Foreign movie-makers understand what cultural values their people hold and also what their people are like, so you can easily get a sense and a feel of what people are like. So watch a ton of foreign movies, and take a ton of notes. Also, make sure…[Read more]

@storyseeker Hello! As an Asian, I’m gonna assume that I have some authority to answer this question.
Often times I actually hate seeing diversity in books nowadays. Not that diversity is bad, but because everyone is misrepresented. (At least the Asians are. I can’t speak for others.) They do things that honestly I could never see myself doing. I…[Read more]

This is definitely a question I and other writers have struggled with! There was actually a thread addressing similar questions a while back. I’ll link it here–hope it helps!

Just jumping on here, because I’m really interested in seeing what others say to your question. I have several characters from different backgrounds, and I want to get them right too.
My only advice would be to be aware of the hurt people have in their past. One of my best friend’s is black, and she is very sensitive to dis…[Read more]

Hey SE people!
We’ve launched a cool new feature on the forum called groups.
You can find them in the nav bar like so:
Groups are hubs for writers to gather around something they share in common. They include a Facebook-like feed and most of them also include their own forums.
So far there are three types of groups:

Hi! *waves shyly*
Newbie to the guild here, and tbh have no clue what on earth I am doing.
Just wondering, does this prayer request still need to be answered?
