M. Weiland writes about in this article (https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/8-%c2%bd-character-archetypes-writing/).

However, some of my important characters do not fit into an archetypal role. The story begins when my protagonist meets a character who introduces her to the mentor and then…[Read more]

I can only introduce something after I know what in the world I am talking about!

Thanks! *smiles* I am not sure yet. I know it is for a middle grade audience and has some contemporary and fantasy elements. We will see as I go!

In reply to - Rose replied to the topic Hi! in the forum Introduce Yourself @when-i-see-the-kingdom That’s so cool! I love the idea of using word boards to make a concept more concrete! What genre is it? ]]> 82b94965a326db53207daaa3669a99e1 Emily replied to the topic Hi! in the forum Introduce Yourself https://storyembers.org/activity/p/88986/ Sat, 06 Feb 2021 19:30:35 -0400 @rose-colored-fancy

Neat! Sassy characters are fun.

My mind always draws a blank when I try to describe the story, but here are a few words from my word board:

child, gray, journey, forest, king, love, lies, scars, work, crows

Hello, Rose!

Nice! Well, I have a work-in-progress but it is still in concept form. Do you have one?

INFJ is from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which puts people into 16 types based on how you observe the world and make decisions. INFJ stands for introvert, intuitive, feeling, and judging.

2w1 is from the Enneagram. Admittedly I do not know as much about this one,…[Read more]

Thank you. I like to write middle grade fiction, typically contemporary or maybe fantasy.

My name is Emily and I am a young Christian writer. I am a INFJ and 2w1, if that means anything to you. My favorite genre to read and write in is middle grade. I am looking forward to being a part of this. *smiles*
