There are so many different habits. Some (like me) write a certain chunk a day. Some do larger chunks on certain days of the week (Like only on the weekends for example). Some will even do a whole book in a matter of weeks or a month and spend the rest of the year not writing. And some have no...

I get quite attached to my characters and I usually feel sad that I don't get to write about them anymore (although there are a select few that I quite look forward to. I'm looking at you Sebastian.) It does help though that most of my characters' deaths are pre-determined.

I am wondering if there are any writing groups around Wheaton IL?

I got this. It's for the good of the American Public. Technology like this would only do more harm than good. They would just use it to harm each other. They would never understand how to use it. They would abuse it. It would corrupt them.

To me glamor is merely changing the appearance of an object (usually for a certain amount of time). Shape shifting is actually changing the object (either temporarily or permanently).

Mine is pretty simple, I let my story tell me. If the concept is big enough and is too large to fit into one book then I go with a series. To me a series is just one long story cut into different books. Like chapters are in a book.

Every time the character sneezes, a volcano will errupt.

In my opinion it depends on how important the child actually is to the story. Are you wanting the readers to be attached to the child? If so, starting with the death wouldn't really work. Or is the mere event of the death of the child the significant event? If the reason for putting the death of...

I'm going to order a book. None of the half price book stores had any :(. I'm about 99.9999999999999999% sure I'll like the book even better.

That would be very bad for me sadly. I have difficulty staying focused as is.

So how many have seen it so far? I'm not going to lie, I really liked it. But I will be honest, I have never seen the original. For those who have seen both, how does it compare? I think I might need a movie night to watch the original myself. I'm not surprised I liked it. One of my all time...

Personally I love history. It adds depth to the book. But what I don't like is a huge info dump forced downy my throat. Perfect balance? Hunks of history told in an interesting way that is relevant to the events happening in the book at that point in time. Bonus points if it sets up for future...

In my opinion, that they are a legit chachter on their own merits. Neither stereotyped nor given special treatment by the author.

hmm depends on how much of the "human" the werewolf retains. Fish don't sleep per say, so maybe the werewolves do something similar? Side note, maybe they can go days or weeks without rest but every once in awhile they have to rest for a whole day, making them vulnerable. Kind of like a...
