Audrey Caylin replied to the topic Strong Female Character in the forum Characters 8 years, 2 months ago
@theresa-play I think the key is going to be giving her a distinct personality that makes her stand out among other strong female characters. Is she funny? Does she like rabbits for some reason? Does she tell cheesy jokes? Also, perhaps show some moments of her not being strong. What is she afraid of? Does she ever cry? If not, what’s her…[Read more]

Great work, @mcnoggin — especially with your colors and metaphors.
I’ll get to making some edits to this tomorrow (hopefully others can add their improvements today), but I just wanted to go ahead and share a couple of my initial thoughts.
- I generally prefer opening a scene with the POV character as opposed to anything else that’s going on…

I agree with @r-m-archer on this one. Having the character as a child doesn’t seem to fit with what I’d envisioned based on what the other Saxon Scribes have been saying. I especially…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb I’m thinking a serious observer would be best, too. Sarcasm doesn’t seem like it would fit with the rest of the scene.

@theresa-play That’s ok . . . I think? We already have a lot of amazing people working on this, and I think if you joined, everything would likely reach a toxic level of amazingness. So don’t worry about it too too much. 😉

Heya everyone! Sorry, this week is pretty busy for me!! I may be able to contribute a bit Wednesday though. And…I’ll just throw some ideas out here this morning and y’all can run with them….
When you see a sunrise, it’s like there’s color in the sky and then just a pure flaming ball of gold, and you feel like all the nightmares were just ph…[Read more]

Well, I’ve almost started. I already know what I want to do, but I still need to flesh it out.
Basically, this is my strategy: I don’t want to submit a typical sunset descriptio…[Read more]

Hold on a minute – does our guild only submit one submission? Or can we all submit one and try to take a victory for our guild? Because I’ve already started working on my own.

Gather round the campfire, New Wessex. Today, we start our discussion of the yearly theme.
To kick us off, I decided to start with something juicy. Let’s each share what our biggest breakthrough has been with character development. It doesn’t matter if you don’t think you’re very good at character development, what’s one thing you’ve learned…[Read more]

I’ll start off. My writing goal this week is to write 7,000 words. As far as the business of writing, my only goal this week is to send out an email to my…[Read more]

@theresa-play I’m kind of here for now. I know a couple of us are currently clasped within the jaws of finals, so I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of us once we get through those. 🙂
I don’t think I’ve seen you around before. *shakes your hand energetically while grinning wildly* Do you mind sharing a bit about yourself? 😀

Grace started the topic First Critique (hehe) in the forum Critiques 8 years, 3 months ago
So… I hear that a lot of people (New Wessians? Is that what we are? I need to check that forum) here are poets, so here’s a poem I’ve been working on lately.
I’m hoping to put it past the experienced lens (is the structure/flow good), the non-TCK lens (do these intercultural things make any sense), and the reader lens (am I being way too…[Read more]

@theresa-play Wow. That’s a lot of different places. And it can be really strange when you’re from one place but look so much like you belong with another place. I guess that’s part of what being a TCK means.
@literatureforthelight That makes sense, Grace. And btw, your tag is a billion times easier on here. XD
