Can I help with ideas rather than writing?

[wiccawitchgirl]

you don't want to write????

[raynelae]

I'm a bit confused on how good my writing abilities are

[wiccawitchgirl]

i like the first page you wrote it was REALLY good!

[raynelae]

Honestly? Thank you I could make it even better...sure, I'll write. Can you explain how the characters will meet?

[raynelae]

I like the idea of Addison and Dalia to be close friends from a young age.

[wiccawitchgirl]

honestly? i LOVED IT! i also like that idea! how about to work on that first page to meet up with dalia at school or something?

Okay, i have a page written up. It's a draft so it's not perfect. Anyway, having read the other introductions, mine is a bit different. I wanted to ask, are we supposed to write first person? or third person Omniscient? I am posting the draft to my journal not the assylum, until I can figure out the below question. I can write in all three so it doesn't much matter. It's going to determine the content between characters when they interact with eachother and the surrounding populace though.

Sorry, I realize those are a bit technical to writing for those who may not understand it.

First person is by the characters perspective, what they see, feel, think.

Third person is written as an observer would recount a scene, as it appears.

Third person Omniscient is written third person with the exception that the characters thoughts and feelings can be incorperated.

With a large group of people writing for different characters I'm not sure which would be easier. First person would be the most obvious but it makes sub-characters a little more difficult to incorperate without the plot character previously knowing them. Does that make sense? I'm not sure what your aiming for and this is a bit of a detail before we start bringing everything together.

Pleas, also note that this is a first draft and very rough. i haven't edited anything in it, yet. I noticed that I may have overpopulated names in the first paragraph and will go back and fix it later. I am going to keep a copy of all my writings in a document local to my computer so I can edit and write witout having to be online to do it. So I may have made changes to thiings that are not reflected on the journal until I repost/edit them. I will keep it as up to date as possible, but I also want to haveas complete a page as I can before putting it up so you don't have to worry about later alterations.

Anyway, that's enough for now. lol

Sorry, I left it on a bit of a hanger. I wanted to put something up, but I didn't want to get too far without your thoughts. No sense in writing 20 pages of stuff for him just to have to rewrite 19.

Ok, I'm processing on the interaction between character with characters and sub-characters. It'll be a bit tricky with so many people writing, but what if we wrote first person and utilized a third person omniscient style for the sub-characters. It would clean up jumping between people and would make it consistent. Not sure if it will work. I'll think more on it, any other ideas, oppinions, and/or thoughts would be helpful.
