Well, I don’t have the whole thing down; it’s more like I know we need to get from point a. to point b. (as my dad would say) — but I’m not sure how. There are still a lot of kinks; and as for restarting it, I’ve done a couple introductions. That’s it. 😛 And I’m so glad you loved it! I had about twenty-two or three chapters down….. And that’s awesome that you figured it out! That’s what I need to do, so I’d better start actually writing 😛
And NICE!! Honesty, I respect you for having your skeleton. In my WIP, I have more of a concept, rather than something solid like bones… It’s just kinda floating everywhere in my brain
Ha ha, that’s funny 😛 I probably shouldn’t have said I have a complete skeleton though, bc now, looking over it, I really don’t — or at least it’s jellyish. Same as you, I’ve got floating ideas — but lots of black holes.
And yes, the map thing’s a very good way for me to start world building. Really helps.
You’ve done maps before?! Ok, tell me about it *plops down on floor and gets out note-pad*
I do that too! I look at other’s work and think the same!!!! *wipes brow* I am not alone. “An artist is his worst critic,” lol, and that’s the truth. But I don’t do characters or anything *sheepish smile* I just go, and that’s the problem (that is also why I have loads of unfinished stores or barely begun stories). I am a very beginner writer.
Thanks! Evlarin actually fit into it by being one of the people in the prophecy, one of the Keepers of the Stones of Katir’kar. (Thanks for saying that’s a cool word, BTW :D) And yes, they once were human… *ominous sound effect: bum bum, buuum*
Oh….! And your welcome, bc it is a cool word 😉
I KNOW!! For my WIP, I’m writing each chapter like the ones in official books, and now I have a new appreciation for authors..
Right?! Have you heard of Kenneth Grahame? I haven’t read his books, but I did do a passage from one of them (The Wind in the Willows) for my dictation, and WOW! That guy must have been a living dictionary; to do that one paragraph that he did would have taken me a week of ceaseless work.
