Write-A-Novel Exercise 2.6
This exercise is only for those who are writing any sort of story for young readers. Determine and write down what age you want your protagonist to be. Then write out a plan for how you plan to illustrate that character's age realistically. Well you see I have a bit of a conundrum. You see I have two main protagonists James Castaway and Allowish Snow. Allowish Snow is part of the Wonderex people and as a result has spent her life being abused, oppressed, demonized and prejudiced. Because of this despite only being ten years old she is quite mature, embittered but defiantly mature. James Castaway on the other hand despite being eighteen a...

Write-A-Novel Exercise 2.3
This exercise is only for those who are writing any sort of fantasy. Write down what fantasy conventions you plan to use and how you plan on making them original. Then, write down what completely original fantasy ideas you have for your story. In the future I would like to write stories about the protagonists traveling to different parallel universes (dubbed Realms) so hopping between different “fantasies” based realms would be a real treat. All right a story I want to write would be heavily inspired by JRPGs (Japanese Role Playing games: for those unaware that would mean games like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Xenoblade, Chrono Trigger et...
Questions 1: What is the genre of your novel?My genre is fantasy, ranging from low fantasy in the beginning to maybe a regular fantasy, somewhere in between low and high. The first part of the series will involve modern day Earth and rather hidden and incomplete magic. A large part of the series will take place in another world, and the land will be medieval based and have a little more magic, but I still want to avoid making it sickeningly magical likes lots of medieval fantasies do. I don't want everyone to use magic. I want it to be almost as rare as on Earth. And I don't want the story to be a cliché or a story where everything works o...

“Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it.” -Lloyd Alexander This exercise is only for those who are writing any sort of fantasy. Write down what fantasy conventions you plan to use and how you plan on making them original. Then, write down what completely original fantasy ideas you have for your story. Fantasy conventions used by “Demon Tales”: 1.- Magic I have to split this one in three subtypes, since there are actually three kinds of magic. 1- Radiation: Humanity got exposed to numerous forms of nuclear and chemical radiation, but instead of dying from it, they adapted to absorb it fine. Some of them ev...
"When crafting a novel, the first thing you need to know is what type of story you are telling. Most writers begin with ideas on the general themes and events that will take place; but eventually you will want to refine this general idea into something specific. Think of this step as a creative concept for your novel—the step by which you will note down the details that will provide inspiration for your plot outline, your character designs, and the nature of your world. Today I'm going to provide some questions to help you narrow down the type of story that you want to create, moving from broad generalization to more detailed specifics."Qu...

Write-A-Novel Exercise 2.1
This exercise is only for those who have a romantic subplot in their story. Write a paragraph detailing what is interesting or unique about the romance between your characters. This is not about explaining the background of the characters in love, or explaining why they are in love. This is about proposing ideas for relationships that will actually be engaging and serve to make your story better. Now I am going to keep things vague just mentioning the characters and little else (unless you want me to answer more specific questions). The male character is named Vendrax and the female character is named Natalya. Both the characters have very...

(I have forced myself to be rather vague, because to not be is to write major spoilers and go against my preferential “treat every ship as canon” for this particular project.)
The relationship won't be shown outright, but the two of them become fast friends not long after they've both been in the video game. As time goes on, and a lot of time it is!, they become closer and more emotionally vested in each other. They support each other as best friends. When the one is forced to admit, “I'm not who you thought, this is all my fault,” the other forgives and says there's no time to be guilty or angry because they need to get everyone out of th...

1. What is the genre of your novel?Science-fiction2. What is the intensity of your novel?Low-to-moderate; it touches on themes of what makes us human and how that can be corrupted, but it's almost accidental to the bare narrative. It also goes into some detail about the emotional and ideological conflicts of various characters and factions which are played out in more detail.3. What is the nature of the conflict in your story?The central conflict is between a young General and a shadowy group within another nation, in the aftermath of a war where they were on the same side, but the “wider” conflict as such plays second fiddle to the Genera...
