    Old Jaded MC's

    In our stories we all write, relatively young MC's full of hope and promise. Hell, most of mine are in high school or barely out. But Gawd-damnit. How come we don't write about 35 year-old, jaded, jerk MC's who've seen some shyte? :blob_reach: :biggrin_s: We discriminate against the MC who will...

    Perhaps I will go on hiatus and finish book one

    It may have been on Reddit, but I recall in a discussion about how to find and give voice to your MC/characters, a question you can ask your character is: How would he/she greet an old friend on the street? How they greet them tells you a lot about the character. Go ahead and ask your MC that...

    Author's urge to Post Too Early

    You Authors know what I'm talking about! So, I have written 8 1/2 chapters of a new story, a mere 15,598 words (a mere 2 minute read for the voracious ones).
