    Why you should respect your characters

    Hey guys, DarkShockBro here.

    *WARNING!*

    Just a fair warning, this journal MAY be controversial. Plus, it's pretty personal. I want you to go into this with as open of a mind as you can, please. Also, I will be referencing none of my stories or any other stories, as I feel like that would defeat the purpose of a journal that I want to be universal. OK? Thank you.

    How to show respect for your characters: Part 2

    *WARNING: RANT AHEAD*

    Hey guys, DarkShockBro here. You know, I was hoping that the criteria I detailed in the first part of how to show respect for your characters would be followed more often than not. Sadly, in my recent Total Drama and Suvivor binge (including Fan Fics), I have found that is anything but the case, primarily in antagonists.

    How to show respect for your characters

    Hey guys, DarkShockBro here.

    Being a creative writer myself, I tend to read a lot of fan fiction and watch a lot of cartoons. During this time, I tend to pick up on certain characteristics common to every work of literature. Some of these traits are good, others not so much.

    It's been a while...

    Hey guys, DarkShockBro here.

    I'm sorry I haven't been visiting this site in a good long while, but I'm back with lots of news!

    First and foremost, the first arc of the collaboration between me and Shadoroq is DONE. We've been working hard to make this story a special experience, and I think you'll enjoy our contrasting styles.

One more update...about A Diamond in the Rough · 12:09pm Nov 7th, 2012

Hey everypony.

Don't worry, this'll be my last blog for awhile, but I want to let you know about the condition of my story.

I'm currently going through writer's block, and as a result, I'm going to edit ALL of my previous chapters in an attempt to correct my grammar and make my story more realistic.

I'm well aware Chapter 22 was fairly unrealistic and the build-up wasn't clear enough, I'm well aware that Diamond's memory of certain events is too clear to be realistic, and I'm also well aware that my pacing is too fast. I will do my best to fix all three of these issues in my top-to-bottom edit.

Thank you for listening, and have a good day.

In all seriousness, i'll be sure to read the rewrites.

take your time do not force the ideas out

Thanks guys. I really appeciate it. :twilightsmile:

This story is just one big experiment in general, so some editing is definitely in order. I'm pretty sure I'll get some ideas when I'm done editing. :raritywink:

It'll hit you all at once, no doubt. You'll have one day where something clicks and then, blam, a whole chunk of stuff planned out. At least that's the way it has worked for me. Was sort of halfway expecting I'd have another 2 month or so break after chapter 6, like I had previously after chapter 4, and instead got most everything planned to finish off my story in a couple of days, so now I've got my story outlined to completion.

Of course, then you need good writing days to turn the ideas into actual story :scootangel:
