@rochellaine @theresa-play @seekjustice @valtmy …you guys might like to know this thread exists….

@valtmy

Thanks for your input! If I do this, it would be a sort of prequel book, where the hero is introduced with the problem and a villain in the first book and the prequel reveals the villain.

@scribbles what is your opinion?

@rochellaine

Whoops, I never replied to you 😛 Thanks for the tips and I’ll consider those points.

@valtmy

True. I hadn’t really thought about your media points, though I realised something like that was happening a long time ago. I’ve found people tend tonsay “it’s just fiction!”a lot, but I honestly believe fiction  (or movies, songs,…[Read more]

Hey everybody, I posted something about this before but now that I have an actual appointment set up at our local college ( LMC-Lake Michigan College )I wanted to share this again. Though, it’s not terribly writing…[Read more]

@sarah-inkdragon  @valtmy  Cool! That is great! I totally agree with both of you… I never used it until I had the bright idea after I had written them in my book quite a bit and decided on their general personalities and roles. This is something that just plotters should use, perhaps. Good thoughts!

@ashira   You are awesome!! 🙂

@scribbles Glad you liked my comment. 😛

@valtmy Yes it is. 😀  Here’s a new link.

@valtmy 😛 I remember you mentioning this back on KP.  Some advice I can give you is use an overabundance of similes and metaphors.  Compare the loved one to everything that is good and over-compare so much so that it is ridiculous, and give no reason for the comparison, but just compare for the sake of comparing.  I’ll give you an example of th…[Read more]

@valtmy Great points. Thanks!

@valtmy Yes, I’d go with what @seekjustice said: very sappy. Also overly melodramatic and using the cliched tropes of love poetry (i.e. I love you to the moon and back…. I’d go anywhere if you were there…. You’re like a shining star in the night…)

And, may I just say? A romance novel parody? Awesome! xD

@valtmy  I agree, I think you need a theme to start off with for a great story basis, and go from there!

@valtmy

Very true. Unless, of course, your poetry writing character is very concerned with organic tea.

She had a link to it on the Writers Corner somewhere. It could have been the last one though. I’m sure if you asked her about it, she’d give you another link.

@valtmy

As long as it’s super sappy, overly complicated, flowery and sounds like it came off a tea packet, it will work perfectly 😛

Did you read @rochellaine ‘s poem from the other day? Something in a style like that (without the intentionally humorous aspect) would probably work.

@valtmy Not particularly… :_

@eden-anderson  Cool plot line! Yes, I agree and am glad that you feel that way about his-fic. If you write it, write a realistic story!

Whoa! Look at all these replies 😉 I’ll try to get to them all, but I can’t promise I won’t accidentally miss one.

@valtmy

A honourable historical fictioner. Or maybe a dishonourable one, I don’t know 😛

But your specific areas of interest sound quite captivating and are very different to everyone else’s so I guess you can be excused.

I’ve…[Read more]

@seekjustice Wow, I cannot keep up with this conversation!  Let’s see if I can give a quick answer to your questions and catch up. 🙂

My favorite time period is American history from 1890-1970.  There are a few other periods I like too, but those are the years I like best.

Some favorite historical figures: Jonathan, son of Saul; Stonewall J…[Read more]

@ashira @wisdomofprose @rochellaine @scarletimmortalized @eden-anderson @libby@samantha-pen @seekjustice @valtmy

I love the quotes, everyone!!!!  Let’s raise History awareness!!! 🙂

@ashira @wisdomofprose @rochellaine @scarletimmortalized @eden-anderson @libby@samantha-pen @seekjustice @valtmy

Amazing idea here, @seekjustice! Good thinking. :_

@scarletimmortalized  Wow, I love your favorite historical eras and figures! Been reading about the battle of Hastings and Harold Godwinson recently… I did not realize there were…[Read more]

@valtmy  @sarah-inkdragon
Thanks guys. I’ll  keep that in mind! 🙂 Making sure that their struggles effect them each in different ways is something I’ll try to work on.
