The Writers Club!
So, this is like a writers workshop where we can discuss books we're writing, get help, critique, etc. We can post chapters, or bits and pieces of books. We can build our character, get a fuller plot line, or do some much needed workd building! We can help each other think up titles, or fillers. Okay, you get the idea. Let's start! Anyone who wants to can join, and you can come and go as you wish! Don't be afraid to ask for help!

I'll join!
I'm going to be starting a new story on New Year's Eve. Like, I'll pick an idea from my Ideas Box at 12:00 and then start thinking about characters and stuff.
Hazel says dogv. No, we are not getting you a dog, Hazel.

Hi Ember! I read one of your earlier posts about story trouble, and I have to say I have the opposite problems from you! I love, love, LOVE character development! But, when it comes to action, I can be horrible at getting the point across! Do you have any tips for me?

Hi! So, one of the the things my friend has told me is to just "puke on the page." Metaphorically, of course. Get your ideas down, then work on polishing it. That has helped me a lot. Another thing is to not focus too much on describing the scene, just enough for your reader to picture it in their mind. Readers will normally make their own thoughts and images of the world around the main plot. Also having good descriptive words for the action scenes help. I hope this helps! One thing that has helped me so very much is an online channel by the name of Vivian Reis. (I think that's how it is spelled.) She gives loads of writing tips. Really hope this helps!!

You don't need action. Many genres center around suspense, and you need very little actual action. These include: Some Sci-fi, mystery, and (of course) a story dealing with insanity.

Hi guys, i have a problem with the story i am writing.
there were two sisters. one was named Sarah, one was named Tanya. Sarah was born two years before Tanya and she inherited all of their parents magical powers. Tanya had no magic at all. when she was 18, Sarah tryed to take over the world. Tanya was 16 at the time. Sarah was defeted by the queen and locked in a magical dungeon. twenty years later, my main character Karen, grandaughter of the old queen, came to this fantasy world. Karen is 15 and she meets Tanya.
now here is my problem. i need Tanya to be 16 when she meets Karen but it has been 20 years since her sister was captured and she was 16 then. she would be 35 when she met Karen if time worked normally but they neet to be almost the same age.
does anyone know what i can do to solve this? please note that Tanya in strictly non-magical so her life cant be extended by her own magic.

I had nearly the same problem in a story I was writing a while ago, and I used ice. Basically the character was frozen and kept like that remaining the exact same until they were "thawed." I don't know, just an idea. Cool story idea, though. Hope it works out!

Ooh...that is a dilemma. Could Karen be older? Cause I see no way to make Tanya younger... >_< Sorry, I'm not helping very much.
Temuri says cwek. Does that help you? XD

Time could flow differently in the fantasy world.

Hi! I've been in your dilemma before, and I find that when it comes to a Magic world, the fact of immortality makes these kinds of time gaps work. Since Tanya was related to Karen, maybe they magic government cursed her to be immortal. Maybe the reason she meets Karen is to see if Karen will break the curse for her. I have a set of books I'm writing, and an entire subplot of the series is that one of the main characters has been cursed with immortality. She's very useful because she's not only a living history book, but she's also met other characters now dead parents, providing interesting information and plot twists to the story.
You could also use such things as time loops or time travel. Maybe Tanya got lost in the fey realm (where normal humans don't age) for 20 years, and misses that her older sister got imprisoned entirely. She comes back and's like 'why are all of my friends in their thirties, and why is my sis in jail?'
