Shared WIP Tag – Week 4: Side Characters and Worldbuilding

Posted on by R.M. Archer

List your SC’s, state one of their main hobbies, and tell us how they influence your MC in the story.

Parr Renate likes cooking, and he helps Coraline see that maybe a harsh exterior is a coping mechanism instead of an unchangeable character trait.

Gabel Tyrell loves tending horses (which is actually his job), and he’s always there to support Coraline and tell her she’s strong enough to be Paladin.

Casabree Selene tends Continue reading “Shared WIP Tag – Week 4: Side Characters and Worldbuilding” →

The Shared WIP Tag – Week 3: Antagonist Questions

The Shared WIP Tag – Week 3: Antagonist Questions

Posted on by R.M. Archer

This post was supposed to go up on Friday, but my site has been down since last Tuesday so I wasn’t able to post it. But it’s here now, so let’s get into it. :)

Introduce the main antagonist of your book!

Meet Orlan Resdin, captain of the Mandorian guard. He’s not nearly as nice as the actor looks in this picture. He grew up with Coraline and Gabel and the other three kids who trained to become the next Paladin, and his gift is super-strength. He has a hot temper, holds a grudge like nobody’s business, and has a distinct lack of self-control. Continue reading “The Shared WIP Tag – Week 3: Antagonist Questions” →

The Shared WIP Tag – Week 2: Protagonist Questions

Posted on by R.M. Archer

It’s time for the second week’s Shared WIP Tag questions, and they’re all about the protagonist. (I’m super excited to read everyone else’s answers. ^-^) Most of y’all know Coraline from Preptober Prompts, but if you don’t… you’re about to learn about her. On to the questions!

Introduce your MC a little (name, maybe a description or picture, etc,) and tell us something quirky about them.

Coraline Seralen is a compassionate Paladin who has a passion for helping people and Continue reading “The Shared WIP Tag – Week 2: Protagonist Questions” →

The Shared WIP Tag – Week 1: General Questions

The Shared WIP Tag – Week 1: General Questions

Posted on by R.M. Archer

So y’all, I totally intended to finish Preptober Prompts, but I just could not get all of the flash fictions done in time. Still, if you participated in Preptober Prompts I’d love to hear what you thought of it! Is it worth bringing back next year?

This month I’ll be participating in Julian Daventry’s Shared WIP Tag, which is all about NaNoWriMo projects. Each Friday I’ll get to answer a bunch of questions about my NaNoWriMo project, and I’ll link to the other participants’ posts at the end. :) Continue reading “The Shared WIP Tag – Week 1: General Questions” →

Preptober Prompts Catch-Up

Preptober Prompts Catch-Up

Posted on by R.M. Archer

This is super late (five days late, in the case of the first prompt), but I’m catching up on Preptober Prompts as I promised yesterday.

We’re starting with Leila’s final prompt: Use an adventure that happened to you in the fall as inspiration for an event in your story.

I don’t have adventures, so this should be interesting. My life is super boring most of the time. (I might have to go digging through old journals for this one.) Continue reading “Preptober Prompts Catch-Up” →
