    Hero's journey - multiple main characters

    Hi! I'm a fan of the hero's journey, but since I am working with multiple main characters (5!) I am struggling a bit with how to approach this. I've been trying to weave together 5 separate hero's journeys, which kind of makes sense, and kind of don't. I've also been playing with the thought to...

    Scenes

    Hi! I have recently listened to writing podcasts and I am surprised at how much they talk about scenes and how important it is thar each scene has a purpose, that there are consequences, that there is a variety in the structure of the scenes.... I don't think about scenes at all when I write...

    It's alive!

    Thank you! I hope I can keep it up, this has been produced over approximately 4 weeks. I have some extra time at the moment but I start a new full time job soon so we will see about that. Oooh! Does not look good for my overall arch I see 😂 I thought I was a plotter. I wrote a rough plot. So...

    It's alive!

    So I hit 28K! Yay! But I've never really experienced this before. My characters have their own will?! They just... Decide things slightly different from what I had planned for them, go ahead and have chemistry with people I did not think of and things like that. Is this normal? I thought I was...

    Main plot headache

    Allright now I am with you! Of course I know of Freud, not sure what precisely a Freudian is though. I always found him more creepy than fascinating so I guess I’m not one ;) Thank you!

    Main plot headache

    I'm not sure that I follow you, maybe you could elaborate a bit? Is the demon connected to the AI reality? And what is a Freudian in this context? :) (I really should know more about Freud but I never took much interest, some references just fly above my head in spite of what I studied ;) )

    Main plot headache

    That is actually an interesting idea! In this case, I don't think I will end up with novellas (I just never do? I make everything way too complicated XD). The characters are also part of each others stories. But just starting to write about them might not be a bad idea :) I think I'm a bit...

    Main plot headache

    Thank you all for your input! After thinking a bit about it, I think I should indeed dive even deeper into each of the main characters, and also the conflicts of the world. I've been stressing a bit about the "overall" thing that I haven't done that in a while. I've just been thinking in...

    Main plot headache

    Hello writers! I am currently working on a new fantasy project - slightly Harry Potter inspired with a magic society living parallell to our own, and kids going to a magic school. I have done a lot of world building recently for my project, and I feel like I know my main characters well -...
