Wolf's Writings

I know I have already made a thread for the 'nameless novel', but now that I've actually started writing it from the beginning, I figured a new one wouldn't hurt. The story: The plot is still pretty undeveloped, but I've decided on this so far: Ayra has lived a completely normal life for thirteen and a half years. She's made friends, she goes to school - basically, she's just for average kid. And then Guinevere comes. This is explained in the second part of the prologue (which I haven't yet posted on YWS). In a nutshell, Isaria, Ayra's mother (this is all happening in another world, just thought I'd let you know) asks her to go to Earth as part of her training. Isaria is the kingdom mage (the other world is called 'The Kingdom of Rain'), highly respected. Guinevere is under strict instructions NOT to tell Ayra anything about the Kingdom, as Isaria doesn't think her daughter is ready yet. Why isn't she ready? Simply because when she was a baby, Isaria cast a masking charm over her, so that she looks and acts human. (Oh yeah, under all the charm stuff she is one of the Elkari , as are Guinevere and Isaria.) The charm hasn't worn off. Isaria warns Guinevere that should she use any spells and whatnot, the masking charm will begin to deteriorate. (You should also know that Isaria wears a masking charm too, and she acts as Ayra's normal mother while on Earth.) Ayra and Guinevere become friends. Well, at first Guinevere hates Ayra's guts and basically ignores her, but then Ayra finds Guin's diary... she doesn't believe in the Kingdom at first, obviously. And the rest is yet to be decided! I'm one of those people who decide the plot as they go - planning ahead sends me into writer's block. XD Problems: I have a lot of issues with characterization. Which probably isn't a good thing, lol. I've joined the Character Developement Usergroup and I'm doing research and exercises, so we'll see if that helps any. That's about it, so far. Keywords being 'so far'. Projects: - Research and learn how to use the 'extended metaphor' (suggested by Dream of Fayth) - Create a basic sketch of the are in the Kingdom where Isaria and Guinevere live - Work on character developement Posted on YWS so far: - Prologue - part one ------------------------------------------- I kind of dumped that on you guys, didn't I? ... so if you have any questions, please ask. And help is greatly appreciated, as are comments and such. - Camille :D

Just to let you know, I'm only suggesting that you should try using extended metaphors as you seem to be the person that uses metaphors quite a bit. Don't be under the impression that I'm demanding you to do it lol.

Yes, but extended metaphors are so cool! I think that, as you said, they would give my writing more depth.

Anyways. Story updates and such:
I have decided to keep her eyes as a gold-brown colour, due to her wolfishness. The plot won't revolve around it or anything silly like that but I think it works, seeing as she spends lots of time with wolves. I did some more sketches for her and I think I've decided on a physical appearance. Next up: personality fleshing-out-ness. Fun!

Okay. So, I've decided to re-write my prologue. As in, completely different ideas. Except for the first part, the bit in italics. Si far, I have one sentence: Swift black water rushed by, rolling and knotting like muscle as it slid over rocks and around bends. I am SO lame. :lol:

And that's it for updates, everyone!
