    Scrivener Software: to use or not?

    I tried several writing programs before deciding on Liquid Story Binder. Fortunately, most of these programs allow a free trial period, so you can see how they suit you. Some are pretty easy to use but less adaptable, and others (like LSB) have a bigger learning curve but more adaptability...

    Is this a normal thing for writers?

    When I was a kid, I'd pick a character in a movie I was watching and pretend that was me. When "I" did something stupid, I would feel extremely embarassed or uncomfortable, or when the character won, I was elated. It's not what you experience, and I quit doing it a long time ago, but was...

    Ditto, I thought this thread was going to be about that book.

    Burn Scars

    My cousin pulled a pot of boiling oil down over himself when he was a child. His shoulder and arm were covered by the oil. I imagine his scars are much like your character's scars would be. It is extreme. Even 30 years later. Some areas are thicker than others, so there's a general wavy...

    MC becoming the villian?

    A villain protagonist is definitely possible. Check out Gerald Tarrant in The Coldfire Trilogy. Also, I am reminded of Rand from The Wheel of Time series, when his powers were taking him to dark places. I think the key would be in making this villain/protagonist vulnerable and give him points...

    Ask me about Egyptian burials or mythology

    You know, that's an interesting idea, listing areas of expertise for questioning. Could be a useful forum topic. It could function both as an interactive reference resource and an inspiration sparker.

    Greetings and Salutations

    Hi there! Your characters sound well-developed, and it's great when they "push" you into writing their story. Looking forward to hearing more about it!

    Question About Naming Conventions

    Hehehehehe. :) Sometimes we do want to manipulate readers that way...and sometimes we really really don't. ;)

    Knights of Badassdom

    If it's done right, that could be hilarious. It could tie in both the geekery that I like, and the kind that I like to make fun of. And I agree with CopofJoe--Summer Glau is worth being smitten over. (What's the verb for that? Smitting? Smiting sure doesn't work. I sense a gap in our language.)

    Are you a Type A, or type B personality?

    I got a 47. [I]Your interactions with others, while generally characterized by warmth and tolerance, are also at times tinged with impatience and hostility. When you're stressed or frustrated, you can lash out at others or end up stewing in anger or frustration. Even your moderate score may put...
