Cassandra

Woo hoo! I get to be the first one to welcome you! ;) So yeah. Welcome, welcome, welcome to YWS! What kind of stuff do you like to write? PM ...

Jack--I have my first eleven chapters outlined, mostly using the pre-notes method found at Snoink's website, minus the "Purpose" category, because this is NaNo, of course! From there, I have ...

The characters don't always have to give a farewell...perhaps they're cut off, and can't finish their conversation? Oh, the drama! Or maybe one character is so angry they walk off ...

It doesn't really teach you to write, but I love Building Believable Characters by Marc McCutcheon. I'm not sure if it's still in print anymore; I got it two years ...

I read this short story in a creative writing course I took last summer, and I must say, it quickly became one of my favorites. Read The Lottery and discuss! ...
