When Worlds Collide (OPEN)

[[ .days. ]]

Yes. Well, fiction, at least. I've been writing plenty of academic papers this past semester. Such is the life of a humanities major. Luckily, though, two of my classes from this past semester have helped me to greatly round out the world (well, country) in which my story takes place.

I used to be all over the WC, but then I graduated high school. x__x

Hello there. I have a couple of questions. Does the divide between the two different worlds have to be glaring obvious? And are you looking specifically for fantasy, or would a realistic story work (I see you have a Best Realism prize, but I didn't know if that means fantastic realism, or what)?

Hey there New Face (well in this thread, anywho)!

Yu pretty much summed up the answer to those questions, but as the big cheese, I'll go ahead and reiterate. I'm not looking specifically for fantasy, no. As long as I can tell which two "worlds" you're using, then you're good to go. The difference between a first and third world country definitely works, so rejoice!

-smacks over the head with a rolled up newspaper-
You better get to writing! A fourteen day hiatus is unacceptable!
... Despite the awesome 18k word count that's absolutely ballin'.

I'm glad you've been good, dearie. <3

Limit, I might not finish my entry ;o;
I just realised there is so much more I need to add and
stuff. But do not fret! I shan't give up! Besides, I made
sure to have a second entry close by!

So either way, I hope I get one of them done (:



Tell me how your edit is going? Already having your
heart cry because you have to take out certain lovely descriptions?

Yeah, that can be annoying. I have one novel that's in editing stages where I'm tempted to add different POVs in a third-person that follows only one character's thoughts and views so far. Not only would it enable scenes when he can't be there, but there's another character that's a big ham who I'd love to play with more to see her run her mouth.

No matter how much you hate those kinds of things, it's hard to stop inspiration xd

i am angry because i had it in first person in the first place, but then i had to change it all to third person and i stuck with that for months. but suddenly i realise that first person, for the sake of this being character driven, is much better and more engaging. now i have to go through it all, scrap scenes even because they can no longer apply with this point of view and lose more than half of my wordcount. ugggghhhh. i hate my mind for going back to first person.

but your idea seems rather neat, actually. i can see how that's a lot of work, but sounds cool.

Restarting my entry for the third time. Blah. I can't find a good place to start it and still have it turn out the way I want it to. Oh well. I have until August.

i feel your pain. i am on my eight revision now.

[Limitless Stupidity]

That's okay, Yu.
Editing is not coming along at all, lol.

I'm on my second start to this novel, myself.
Can't get a good start, which messes with the whole rest of the mojo...

Happy writing, all.

Aw, what's not working for you?
