@thetessinator: just a hunch : D

So… Character Voice.

First, let’s define character voice briefly. This is important because we need to be aware of and distinguish between three different voices here: authorial voice, narrative voice, and character voice.

First, authorial voice is your voice: your humor, your natural patterns of words, your instinctual word choices, and e…[Read more]

@thetessinator: Hey, nice to meet you! Ya, I love talking about the deep stuff but its slowed down as of late…

@wordsmith

@the-fledgling-artist

@noahlitle

you guys dead?

anyway, you girls can be quite deep too! We’ve had some pretty significant and valid arguments posed by girls (though strangely enough on the ‘any guys out there’ thread X…[Read more]

@thetessinator Yeah :/ It is certainly pretty bad. I suppose I should just pray about it.

New week, new resolve. We’re getting closer and closer to the end of the year, guys. Let’s keep up our motivation to press on, fight well, write better, and keep each other moving.

Last week, I did not get any work done in my WIP (tho I did write some poetry), but I did fulfill my second goal, and I got some more beta-reading done. Pretty…[Read more]

Hail, friends!

We come to another week.

State how your goals went last week, and set new ones for this one! 🙂

My goals were sadly unfulfilled, so I think they will remain the same, with some additions.

1. Get some work done in my WIP!

2. Critique two Ereki pieces in the critique section, and submit part three of my critique pieces for…[Read more]

@emgc Awesome!

@thetessinator Absolutely fine! I’ll see about getting you a badge, too. ^-^

@devastate-lasting Very good! I like the way you’ve tied your quirks into your character’s personalities!

@thetessinator I love how you put yours into a more creative format. And nice job with the quirks themselves. I am wondering, though, if there is any way to make the first quirk more apparent. It seems to me that it takes a little too long to…[Read more]

@thetessinator Ooh I like these. I didn’t think really think of any habits to write about, but that would be fun. Also I liek how you wrote it all in story form.

Thank you for the feedback!

@thetessinator Not a problem! Any time!

@thetessinator You’re welcome!

I’m so glad that hear that!

@thetessinator Hail, wanderer. I’m so glad you stopped in and opened up to us all about how you’ve been. That can be pretty hard, so it makes me happy to see that you feel comfortable in the guild here. And let me just say that this kind of thing is exactly why the guilds are here in the first place. You’re home. You’re Ereki.

Second, I am on…[Read more]

@thetessinator When I’m feeling burnt out, I just keep writing. Jaquelle Crowe says consistency is the key to motivation. 😀

Watching a movie or TV show, reading a good book, looking at pictures of my characters, reading my favorite parts of what I’ve written, these are all things that make me excited to write again too! Oh, and listening to epic…[Read more]
