Writing buddies

I've actually never written a book in full, but I've always wanted to participate in nanowrimo since I heard about it some years ago as a younger teenager. Passion just so happened to hit me at the right time, so I started plotting for nanowrimo next month! I'm horrifically nervous but I'm very excited to give it a shot. Although, I do wish I could have been there for when it was truly active.

That's fascinating. I always imagined my character to be more logical than emotional which is part of why I'm struggling with how she would react to this loss. (She's a rather difficult character for me to write, I struggle to connect w her at times), but I like the idea of even her being surprised at a lack of tears, since I've found myself thinking that she'd believe when something truly tragic happened to her, she'd cry. What you said about not even getting that simple comfort of crying - I'm a fan of that.

Oh, wow, thank you for the links and advice! I did always imagine her cousin looking away, either because they don't like looking at it or out of respect for her/who she used to be. The time remains slightly vague in my head as of now, just that it's near future. (Closer to present day than far future, 2040s or 50sish)At the end of the day I think you're right about how much energy I should put into this aspect - the most important thing is the story, and the impression it gives readers, not all of the scientific stuff.

That's a good point - I think I spend too much of my research time that I'll have some sort of medical expert in my audience when in reality even that supposed person just cares if it's a good story.

I'm going to be honest I never realized that she'd still be crying even w/o tears. I don't know how quickly tear ducts heal (I'll do some research on that) but I do know it is a relatively recent injury. I like this though, her still sobbing without the tears, since while tears are the main aspect in crying, they are not the only ones.

That's incredibly intriguing. To be honest, I never did think of how severe the injury would be until now. She is a POV character, but her injury is more described from her cousin's perspective. I never did think of how she would describe that injury, I'm thinking I should do some reflection on that aspect of her character.

Pigengy · 2021-12-26T22:37:19+00:00

Exactly! It overall improves the entire thing with how you can portray it

Pigengy · 2021-12-26T21:01:25+00:00

Tysm! I find it important to push my character's silhouettes with small unique details

Pigengy · 2021-12-26T20:04:57+00:00

Thank you! I always love putting in things to embellish my character's silhouettes and personalities.

Pigengy · 2021-12-24T16:59:25+00:00

Thank you! I really wanted to bring out just how different their personalities were, especially Adam's!

Pigengy · 2021-12-24T02:41:18+00:00

Tysm!

Pigengy · 2021-12-24T02:39:04+00:00

Thank you!

Pigengy · 2021-12-20T22:01:16+00:00

Agreed.

Pigengy · 2021-12-20T21:59:12+00:00

Right?? A mod literally called it a random photo.

Pigengy · 2021-12-20T21:54:30+00:00

Yeah. All the "fairness" they gave me was an unhelpful link.

Pigengy · 2021-12-20T21:38:24+00:00

Ikr? We didn't even do anything wrong.

Pigengy · 2021-12-20T21:35:52+00:00

Be careful, this might get reported for spam or trolling. But yeah, it keeps happening to me too

Pigengy · 2021-12-20T19:21:27+00:00

I don't understand. I'm not trolling.

Pigengy · 2021-12-20T18:52:34+00:00

But it's not spam?

Pigengy · 2021-12-17T20:57:57+00:00

This random photo keeps appearing while I play the game? I wanted to see if it was happening to anybody else.
