Oh boo-boo.

I just hit 4K. I've nearly finished the chapter, but I need to do a bit of research on wands, so I'm going to do some brainstorming for my fiction module. The Harry Potter Wikia is a godsend.

Well if you don't sell them for a profit I think you'll be all right regardless. It's like parodying--you can use things, you just can't make a profit off of something that another person owns the copyright to unless they give you permission.

Oh okay. I just want to give them out -- free. So I experience having something in book form and they get the pleasure of a free book.

I don't know what this says about me.

I am thinking I could use mindmaps to come up with the plot for my novels, not the structure as such, just what could happen. Has anyone ever done that?

Spider diagrams is another word for them. I'm doing one now to try and come up with ideas for both my creative writing modules.

I currently have 4K and have nearly finished Chapter One. Tbh, there's a part of me that doesn't care if I don't win as long as I have a finished draft...

I have no idea what your talking about still. Sorry.

Congrats on the 4K though.

I'm a little stuck right now. Really want to write more but really busy.

He/she is a moonstone dragon. The males look cooler that's why i'm hoping it turns out to be a male.

I used a mindmap for priestess because it was all my characters traveling through european cities chasing bad guys. I did a mind map of where they went in what order and what happened there, then put them on cue cards.

But it's up to you.

OH my God! I just got accepted into a writing class i really wanted to take!!! The teacher granted me special permission because i didnt take any of the prereqs! Its a senior level Fiction Writing Workshop class and i only taken English 101. I emailed the teacher and told him how i want to be an author and i wrote 11 books and such. He asked for me to show him an excerpt and i did. He just told me that i have some great writing and I'm more prepared for this course then English majors!!!
