Maybe I will even share it with you guys. Then, not only could we get to know each other's stories, but a little more about everyone's drama.

I will be using it to re-evaluate my book.<br /><br />I will also be using it to figure out the plot of my life. I'm looking through my FaceBook figuring out the villain upon whom I need to lay a proper smack-down.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731949162327535890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242029607545141227.post-7840378847068802812010-11-14T13:45:16.399-05:002010-11-14T13:45:16.399-05:00No problem.

I thought it would be a neat idea for us to hear a little more about each other's work and an excellent way for some of us to get our heads straight when it comes to our novel (i.e. ME). It's a great way to organize your thoughts.AubrieAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13275625148557048357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242029607545141227.post-87287562859749928662010-11-14T11:45:38.141-05:002010-11-14T11:45:38.141-05:00Okay, I'll bite :)
Butterfly Assassin:
Plot:...Okay, I'll bite :)<br /><br />Butterfly Assassin:<br /><br />Plot: Woman vs. Man and Self<br /><br />Hero: Chase McAfferty<br /><br />Char Flaw: Oh so many, Chase is guilt ridden over her sisters death, leading her into sometimes impulsive actions. She's also human which lately seems to be a character flaw in urban novels :p<br /><br />Enabling Circumstance: Chase feels like she allowed her sister to be killed, leading her into a life chasing down and murdering pedophiles who escape justice. Her tunnel vision where this is concerned leads her into both guilt and sometimes the inability to see things clearly.<br /><br />An opponent: Initially a professor who Chase believes to be a pedophile, but oh how that will change. The true opponent is a very well organized group that well....does bad things. :p<br /><br />Her Ally: Det. Steven MacKenzie. Richmond Police Detective, super sexy and a distraction for Chase as well as the only person she remotely trusts.<br /><br />Life Changing Event: The bad guy isn't a true pedophile at all, but an organized group that preys on a certain adult demographic to sweep in and steal their teen children.<br /><br />Jeopardy: Well, in order to save the day, Chase is 1. going to have to trust someone else completely, a concept unknown to her, 2. finally reveal what she really is to Stevie, thus risking the only "relationship" she's ever had and 3. face a situation that almost exactly mirrors the day her sister was murdered.<br /><br />There, I've given away a bit more here than I have anywhere else, but in an obscenely vague way. <br /><br />This was cool, thanks for the prompt to do this!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01818751432748081832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242029607545141227.post-52452333535900937282010-11-13T13:30:22.953-05:002010-11-13T13:30:22.953-05:00I'm still uncertain as to the plot element. It...I'm still uncertain as to the plot element. It could be him versus a number of things.<br /><br />Onto some typos:<br /><br />"heard someone day say that"<br />Dun need "day."<br /><br />"6) The life: changing event:"<br />Only "The life" is bolded and there's an additional colon where I assume you meant to put a hyphen.<br /><br />Btw, there are specific times when a title should be italicized instead of put into quotations. Novel titles are always italicized, as are most prose pieces. Poems are quoted. This would be something to look into for a future blog.<br /><br />"Chaos insues in the streets"<br />Should be "ensues." Something else to look into: the difference b/w "in-" and "en-."<br /><br />"But when her mother is murdered, her father goes missing and her brother is kidnapped. Talis is left alone and surrounded by strangers."<br /><br />Should be a comma after "kidnapped" to combine the thoughts.<br /><br />"And when a misfitted organization of theives offers her a place to stay,"<br /><br />*thieves<br /><br />"The world has litterally fallen into darkness and the notrious Border Gang has kidnapped her brother."<br /><br />*literally, *notorious<br /><br />"the old man who uses children to do his theiving for him,"<br /><br />*thieving (I know, it defies the rules.)Matt Dimitroffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110603518813185051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242029607545141227.post-3256735249382276842010-11-13T12:51:17.827-05:002010-11-13T12:51:17.827-05:00Awesome.

Plot: Man vs. Self and the Environment...For Totem.<br /><br />Plot: Man vs. Self and the Environment<br /><br />Hero: Koin Rothschild<br /><br />Hero's character flaw: Extreme naivety.<br /><br />Enabling circumstances: Confined to an orphanage for the entirety of his childhood and most of his teenage years.<br /><br />Opponent: Koin's father, Roth, or Emperor Baldine.<br /><br />Ally: Adily Veramont, his only real friend from the orphanage.<br /><br />Life-changing event: Meeting his father, Roth.<br /><br />Jeopardy: Is forced to become more mature and responsible for the sake of his friends and destiny.Matt Dimitroffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110603518813185051noreply@blogger.com
