Delightful Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 As I mentioned in Random Stuff X...yesterday?....I'm trying out a story building tool. Basically, I'm writing characters fanfic style, just throwing them into random situations, bouncing them off each other, experimenting with different personality types and settings without consideration for plot. (Also because when I'm trying to write a Big Project I freak myself out, so this way I can keep it fun and silly, and when I have my characters well established I can write them into a novel which I do have some plot ideas for). So I'm doing it through this blog: http://delightfulchameleon.weebly.com My plan is to write *something* daily, I'll start by trying to update daily, I imagine short scenes to begin with that should get longer when I get more in practise. I'm trying to balance discipline with shut-down imposter syndrome so even if I write daily I won't necessarily post it......I guess we'll just see how it goes. Feedback is welcome, what works, what doesn't, if you feel like I've made a promise to the reader, if something particularly intrigues you or just plain doesn't work, please tell me! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I see you wanted to interwine the chatting with the book passages in her thoughts but it confused the hell out of me. Had to read it a few times to get it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Budgie Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Sounds like a good idea for getting down character personalities. With what you wrote...I agree that her thoughts on the book mingling with the conversation were a little confusing, although it was kinda what thoughts are like. Having it in quotation marks made me think she was talking at first, though, so you might want to change that. I usually use italics to show thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Budgie Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 That was good. I think it was better than the first one, but that might just be me. Oh, and an edit: “Lu” she called over her shoulder. He waited for her to give an address, but she was already gone. Comma after her name, perhaps? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they don't have pies there, she probably has so many jokes made about her name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the ones I can think of 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
