If you are truly wondering what the opposition would be, then I think you are very much on the right track. If he wants to make a utopia, a new government, but he's going about it by starting a war, many people might be against it. He might be trying to make things better by destroying things...

Awesome, thanks a lot, both of you!

Hey, so I just got out of a creative writing class and we work-shopped several works throughout the semester. Now, I've come to the summer and I want to get some of my work published. I have two short short stories and a few poems that I would like to get out there. However, I've only really...

Distraction Homework...

Yeah, and this is why I don't like to go to certain improv shows because people there often lack creativity and resort to swear words and any profanity for humor. My brother and I are the same, basically. He does not use curse words because he sees it unnecessary. I rather don't like them at...

Horse Fred?

Last bit meaning the whole legend or the last paragraph? I'm now working on all of the legend part, especially the last paragraph. I'll try to make it more spaced out so its not tons of info thrown at the reader at once, like a slap in the face. Heh heh. If you have any other suggestions...

Okay, what if after he explains this, I have the other characters ask questions to clarify things. Would that make it easier on the reader perhaps? And actually, the elementalists are very prejudiced. If they mate with a different element, they are no longer pure and are banished from their...

Heart Mend

Well, I like the idea. Obviously the Island in question is your MC's place of Origin. So, I can see it making sense. I mean, that is still a connection to the story and if that draws in your readers, Kudos! Granted, this only makes it slightly personal. Perhaps giving that island a name...

I have been writing for five years straight now (that's freshman year of high school for me), and I've finished the third draft of my series' first book. I'm reading to print it off and start editing. I... really hope that the golden glow of the publishing process (which I only ever read and...

I just finished the third rough manuscript of my first book! I know I need to go and edit a lot, but I'm wondering if I should get more beta readers before I do that or should I hunt them out after I try editing from my own thoughts...? Either way, I happy to say I am on the final stretch of...

I'm thinking about using the secondary shield of a composite volcano as the home and work place for the leader of the Fire Domain in my novel, but I'm not entirely sure how to describe the inside of a 'living' volcano's secondary cone. If anyone has information on what it is like inside the...
