toomsta Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Dang, I was away one week and now I feel like I've missed too much. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to read the backlog! After just one week! 1

Silk she/her Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Hey, guess who went wandering through her file archives and actually found a short story to work on? (Okay, I mean, I guess there's plenty to work on if I were so inclined.) I'd honestly intended to write that album before getting back to fiction but this works too I guess... 3

Excellent, we'll look forward to reading that next week, yes?

Oh well I suppose. Well, in all honesty, it needs a few significant rewrites (plus I should actually finish the draft at some point, I guess?) and I'm considering throwing my had in the ring for an academic CfP that's due Feb 16, so it might not be next week. 1

Sorry, I couldn't resist it. It's my patriotic duty as a Scotsman to let no opportunity for irony / sarcasm to go 'unturned'.
Silk she/her Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 *blinks several times* Before I get busy...? Oohhhhh. I get it. That was a good joke!
Robinski he/him Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 So... I hope I have addressed the last comments on TCC by rearranging the first few chapters and adding some material (also taking some out). I am unsure now whether to start at the beginning again, or offer up this initial seven chapters (about 25,000 words) for beta reading, since you've seen them quite recently. Any thoughts?
Mandamon he/him Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I'm happy if you give a summary of the changes you made and skip to a new section, unless you think we're going to miss a lot. I'm planning to do the same thing with mine, as I think I've addressed the problems brought up in the forum, and want to get reactions on new stuff. 1
kais Posted February 23, 2018 Author Posted February 23, 2018 I'm good either way. I like Q and M so much that I don't mind rereading at all. 1
Robinski he/him Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Thanks guys. I really appreciate the feedback. I guess I knew the answer to this already. The thing is, Chapter 6, which you haven't read, is now Chapter 4, and Chapter 7, unread by yoos, is now Chapter 2! I think I need to start again. For your forbearance 1
kais Posted March 4, 2018 Author Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) I know I've been kind of absent recently. Sorry all! Trying to get through these last editorial revisions for book three so we can go to copy! ETA: OH! And book one is going to be an audiobook! I got to hear the first fifteen minutes this last week and OMG it was great! Edited March 4, 2018 by kais 1

kais Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 If anyone wants to jump into the ring, PitMad is coming up this week! Could be a good chance to find an agent!

kais Posted March 8, 2018 Author Posted March 8, 2018 So I...maybe just got my first R&R on TWD!! Of course that means I'll have to sub it through here again to work out all the typos I'll introduce... you all can take it, right?? 1
mrwizard70 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) This is a great idea! I'm running completely dry on ideas, especially in the character department. other than that and some personal stuff, great week. You guys have processes for creating characters? When I get free time I'm going to go back and re-listen to the WE podcasts on it. Also I should stop playing Empire:TW, no matter how much inspiration for worldbuilding I'm left with.

That's great For characters, like so many things, I love the phrase 'low hanging fruit'. I don't know if you can search it out in WE, but I think it's usually Howard that refers to it. It is an excellent concept. Whatever idea you have, set it aside and have another, then another, don't just accept the first thing you come up with. Try combining two ideas; three ideas. This is the way to forge interesting, intriguing, intoxicating characters/settings/plot twists/etc. 1
