1) What Jaye said about what Kaden was very nerve racking!!!! 2) My character Scarlet Hood is running away from home with Rapunzel and Snow White. (BTW this fairy tale is in a modern world) 3) The Evil Queen is plotting to kill all three of their mothers (Their moms are sisters so they are cousins) 4) I'm at a really badwriters block which I talked about in another thread Try writing out a list of all the things you don't know and want to figure out about your characters/plot line. Example: - Who, what, where, why, when, and how are my characters?
- Why {from whom} are they running?
- Are they the only ones running, or is someone else involved? Who are my bad characters and why?
- Come up with a list of answers to a list of random questions. For instance: What is/are their favourite colour(s)? Do they have any siblings? Where, if they had any choice, would they live? Weapon preference? Age? Height? Character traits? Favourite things to do when forced, and favourite things to do when given free time, etc.? Favourite animal? Secret (or not-so-secret) fear?
So on and so forth. And I definitely agree with you on #1!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING?! Thanks so much for the list ideas!

In all of the different books I'm writing, my characters are: - Mentally preparing herself to die
- Being chased by maniac vegetation
- Flying on dragons
- Trying to run away from a mob of angry villagers who are convinced that my main character is a witch
- Facing off with the ultimate bad guy (she thinks) who is completely confused about what she's trying to say
- Sitting on a roof thinking about the past
- Pretending to be an assassin in an inn belonging to the bad guy and watching his best friend play to be drunk
- Entering another world
- Destroying the courtyard of the enemy's castle with tremendous bursts of fire and lightening; also shapeshifting
- Being introduced to the rest of the good cast and being loaded with complex information after a long journey
- Nervously facing a noble who is unaware of true identity, while wondering how to get back to the rest of the rebels
- Watching in horror as mind replays the deaths of her family and friends
- Baking bread and telling stories
- Following a madman
- Talking to a dragon
and
Yeah... These are mostly from unrelated books, too...

Okay, let's see... I'll pick up from where I left off outlining. 1. Telrick is at Old Eresmount, confronting Yavlek. 2. Aelwynne is watching from the shadows, afraid of Telrick. 3. Frake is absent. 4. Freyla is also watching from the shadows, calculating the situation. 5. Ieyana is beginning her new life as an outcast, trying to adjust, keep up house, and care for her brother. 6. Oringryn is watching from the sidelines, not quite in the shadows, but not at his Master's side. 7. Dertris is staring off into space, sensing muddled thoughts at the edges of his consciousness, but is unable to grasp them. 8. Salinthia is lying on the same bed that she has laid upon for centuries. 9. The Twins are at their Master's side, silently observing. 10. I have no idea where Nythmal and Joran are at this point in the story. Yeah. I have a pretty decent-sized cast. This sounds AMAZING!!! P.S. I love large casts!! So many characters to love! Haha, thanks, antsandepic! And, I'm glad that you do! I sometimes get really nervous that I've bitten off way more than I can chew, and that I'm going to wind up unable to handle my large cast, and that I'll confuse my eventual readers... Thank you! This is really encouraging!

This is really encouraging! Your welcome! I totally understand the overwhelming feeling you get when writing for large groups!! We just finished writing a story with 17 prominent characters, and what felt like a million minor characters! Needless to say, it was a little hectic!

Arya is still under, in a futuristic spaceship, healing from her punctured lung and shot arm.
Back on earth, in modern day America, Shelle and their mom are probably starting to get worried by now.

Currently Amber, the villian in my Rizkaland Legends is being melodramatic, having just completed a difficult and powerful spell that will soon place all of Rizkaland in her grasp. EEK!

This is actually before the time my characters came from in the chat, so it's only the second time they've spoken to each other. They are actually making plans to 'save the kingdom'. And Liesl is incapable of killing anything.

At this point, Tareq is either contemplating making the very worst decision he has ever, or will ever make, or being happy. Depending on what I decide in editing.

Oddly enough Adel and Finnis are talking to each other secretly again. This time they're in a tree overhanging a wall. He's on the outside.

Adel has been manipulating people threatening to do mean thing if they don't do what she wants and generally behaving in such way that i'm not sure why people would care enough about here to read the story.

Finnis is being chased by some rough men and Adel just got pulled into a tent by a strange girl and her cousin. They're some characters I've been waiting for. Elind and Will. If Adel knew what part they're going to play... Um, well she wouldn't do what she does, so they wouldn't. Must continue writing it.
