Writing Group With John

Today's writing group went so well! Everyone got good feedback and everyone seems to feel like they have a better idea of where to go with their stories.

Bonus points, I found out my issue with passive voice is getting better! Woo!

If you want help, I really recommend checking John out.

Writing challange

Tomorrow I try a writing challange. I don't expect to make it but it sounded fun to try. A friend of mine can do 50K words in a week. I'm going to try the same.

The rules are 7 days, 2 you must take off from proper writing. So tomorrow is day one. I'll write for 3 days. then do thanksgiving stuff (I'm hosting this year) then write for two more.

I'll probably do sprints to keep me on track, trying to get about 800 words every 25 minutes. And I have two stories I can switch between. So I won't get bored.

Wish me luck!

I got this fan art. This fan art reminded me that it is still possible the story might make it to top 25. I really want it to make it there.

If you haven't already? Please consider voting for the Reincarnated Shapeshifter's Godly Feast, found on Tapas. I think it's a really great novel and there are real life recipes in there.

Thank you!

Thank you guys!

Right now I can't express how floored I am by everything. We are in the second week of voting and I have gotten so many new subs and likes. Thank you all so much for your support and kindness.

If you haven't already and would like to do so, please consider voting for Enoki's story?

This just randomly popped up and you don't know what I'm talking about? Well here.

Enoki was an assistant manager by day and recipe foodie vlogger by night; going out and finding recipes from around the world and how they changed over time. Too bad a goat killed hir. Now a bunch of gods have given an ultimatum: create a blessed and cursed feast in one year or watch as the races of this new world are wiped out. Then ze is dropped into the world with no directions, no explanations of how to use hir shapeshifter or magic items, and a whole lot of people that aren't too sure about Enoki's plan. With an arsenal of jokes and a desire to taste everything once, can Enoki make the feast? Or will it be a cooking fail?

On top of that we have real recipes you can cook that inspired the meals found in the story! Check it out with the link below, and please vote for the stories you love the most.

Editor and Writing Coach Ready To Help

Hello! I'm sharing this for my friend John who has the website "John Helps You Write Better".

He is a professional editor and writing coach who's goal is to help people become better writers. Recently he decided to try and help make services that better help, and fit the budget of, webnovel writers. He is offering weekly writing groups for $10 a session. They would be 2 hours long with 3 or more people in the group.

He will go over a couple pages of your work line by line and walk you through improving characters, arcs, plots and better writing in general. He is doing this in a group setting to help make it more affordable as individual sessions are more expensive. Other members of the group would also be able to chime in ideas and thoughts to help. He will do this with everyone who joins the session for that day and there is no obligation to pay for future sessions. Just come to a session as you need it. This also includes a general Q and A with a transcript to refer back to later.

If you are interested please check out this link for the session.

Editor Wanting to Help Web novelists On A Budget

There is a writing coach/editor that wants to do weekly writing groups for 10 dollars a session. They would be 2 hours long with 3 or more people. This is going to be aimed for web-novelists. He would go over a couple pages of your work line by line and walk folks through characters and arcs and plots and better writing in a group rather than throwing pricey hours at them individually. Other members of the group would also be able to chime in ideas and thoughts to help as well. He will do this with everyone who joins. You are not required to come to every session, and you aren't expected to have completed stories just whatever you have written and you want to work on. This also includes a general Q and A with a transcript to refer back to later.

Please let me know if you would be interested in this so I can convince him to start it up.

CHARACTER INTRO:

RISING FROM THE ASHES

SAMMY BARDALES

(half-jokingly) “That was all part of the plan to make you think that was the real plan.” - Sammy Bardales

Once a homeless boy of dubious origin in the capital city of Roucon, Kihroin, Sammy was recruited into the prestigious Lotus College after displaying his prodigious healing magic during the relief efforts of Vemor.

Kieran Caron—founder and headmaster of the College—personally recruited Sammy following his aid in Vemor, covering for the expenses related to his attendance, helping him adjust to life off of the streets, and giving him the last name and identity of “Bardales”.

“Sammy Bardales” is supposedly the son of Maya Bardales, an ex-Cirranian coliseum healer who escaped the country with her son, hid within Roucon to avoid re-discovery, and eventually died due to health complications arisen from the plague.

Except... Maya Bardales never existed.

But there's now a lot of paperwork suggesting otherwise.

In Caron's words, he helped Sammy because “regardless of {his} reasons of doing so... {Sammy} carried out a highly selfless act to {his} own detriment. {He's} the exact kind of person {Caron wants} attending {his} college—and {Sammy} otherwise wouldn't have the chance to. Thus, {Caron's} giving it to {him}.”

So, that leaves reality: who is the REAL Sammy?

Caron doesn't know, and Sammy refuses to tell.

It's left an awkward tension between the two, but Sammy has still been allowed into the college and given the many advantages he needed to start his life there.

All he needs is to keep the truth hidden.

Convenient.

Because that's something he's very good at doing.

In Other Words...

Sammy is a fifteen-year-old once-homeless boy with near-miraculous Life magic that defies well-established arcane laws.

At the beginning of the story, Sammy's magical energy essence levels “don't match” the strength of magic he uses, he was near-unremarkable to even Caron's trained arcane eye, and he's able to accomplish incredible feats of magic with little to no training.

Sammy was snatched up by Caron and recruited into the college to help him expand upon his magical feats and (hopefully) eventually use his skills for far greater goods than growing and selling weed on the streets.

... because that was exactly what Sammy did prior to meeting Caron.

Running from city to town to city across Kihroin, working odd jobs and selling pot until he was close to discovery. Then running off to the next.

Although he refuses to voice it, Sammy feels a lot of guilt for the life he lived prior to his college days. He hid his magic—terrified of others discovering it for similarly-concealed reasons—and refused to help anyone else beyond life-threatening situations... where he then escaped before they could be traced back to him.

He could've done so much good, but he didn't.

Selfishly.

A fact that's been slowly bothering him more and more as the years go by where he does nothing.

So, when he heard of the disaster at Vemor—and that the palace and College were sending healers for aid—he had to help, right?

Right?

Appearance

Sammy is a Cirranian (Fantasy!Latino) fifteen-year-old boy who appears to be thirteen at most.

He has tan skin; short, curly brown hair; freckles; and heterochromic eyes—one pale blue and the other dark brown.

He tends to carry an air of joking arrogance, awkward amusement, or complete and utter insecurity depending on his current “act”.

Lastly, Sammy can usually be found wearing hoodies regardless of the temperature, overly-casual clothing (even in formal situations), and crawling with plants. Plants naturally grow over him, no matter how often he removes them... or whether or not he had any semblance of plant life around him prior.

It's worse with dirt.

Existence, does Sammy learn to hate dirt.

Personality & Motives

Sammy is a capital-L Liar, a manipulator who's adept at reading people, crowds, and situations and then turning them into his advantage.

Before joining the college, Sammy used his young age and even-younger appearance (he looks thirteen at most, not fifteen) to navigate around social situations, make people underestimate him, and run away at any moment he felt the tables turning on him.

Sammy is a major control freak, terrified of losing control of a situation, and a noted-even-by-Caron flight risk—all it takes is for him to think he's lost, and he'll run away... not even to fight another day.

Just... to run away.

But it's different at the college: under his newfound false identity—and after the years it's been since—surely he doesn't have to keep running?

He's no longer committing crimes, he's no longer refusing to help others so he can remain hidden, and he's able to use the countless people-skills he developed over the years for good.

Sammy often hides his sharp eye and social savviness behind a joking, silly, and/or insecure persona, where he tries to make people underestimate him and think he's less competent than he is.

Despite the manipulation that's marked so much of his life, Sammy wants to be a good person.

He really, really does.

He's just terrified of things catching up to him.
