    In need of a good brainstorm session!

    Oh, the main post is the end of the novel, not the outline for the whole thing :) Throughout the begining. It establishes the antognist and her motives. The MCs and their goals. #1 and on is closing the lose ends and characters getting closure as the story concludes This happens earlier on. The...

    i could make this work 🤔 the FMC wants to go confront antagonist about the unfair rumors that gets her banished... but the brother is like "nah, you stay out of it and let me handle this" and things fall into place (hopefully)

    not really dramatic... the confrontation between the brother and the antagonist happens off page. all the FMC (and readers) know is that he went after the antagonist and never came back. the FMC knows the antagonist had something to do with it, but no one knows if the brother is alive or dead...

    The brother is the FMC's guardian figure. The FMC is a priestess, and the MMC's brother is appointed her guardian, to make sure she does her job and that nothing happens to her. He's also the village chief's eldest son and is well respected in the village. the place you go to when you die, lol...

    You know how you revise and edit and rewrite.... and as you make your way through the manuscript, what you had written BEFORE no longer meshes well after your revisions to the previous chapters? Yeah, im at the point right now and have been thinking all morning and so far this afternoon about...

    Bat houses?? Never heard of those, but they sound cool! I wouldnt know where to put one though. I live in the suburbs and have 1 big maple tree in the middle of my yard that an annoying squirrel lives in and terrorized my dogs. I dont think it would like me hanging stuff up on its tree....

    Character Introduce us to your character!

    i've never heard this term before, but after reading the back and forth between you and Madman.... i think i have a morally black character in one of my WIPs.

    Character Introduce us to your character!

    Character Introduce us to your character!

    I've finally gotten into the headspace of working on my manuscript. Just finished writing the chapter that shows my MMC's vulnerable side. Didan experienced a horrible accident before the start of the book that left him with Frankenstein's Monster-esque scars and disfigurement (my FMC met him...

    Can you be a writer that also isn't an avid reader?

    I know what you mean (i forget the name of it lol). But that falls into my point of "not everyone reads for various reasons (a curious person will find any/every way to sate their curiosity and there for stimulate their creativity)" There are various barriers that prohibits or inhibits reading...
