Story Updates.
We do need help, though. We should call the Asgard brothers.
Yeah, too bad they couldn't find another way. I mean, they are blood.

100+ characters does sound a bit chaotic, but I can definitely emphasize there. What short story did you publish?
SHINE wrote: ""Too Much Of Everything" It's a short story based off from my bedroom in 2016. Four main characters and lessons to be learn. I still have my copy in my room. It's too bad that it's not on Amazon ..."
Oh.
Uh, Shine...you can still use the names...they just can't be used in the same way that the others are being used... X-)If you're trying to choose names that have never before been used, you're...well, probably never going to find anything, tbh.
Just steer clear of things trademarked (which isn't the same as copyright) by big-name corporations (like Marvel), and wildly popular series (ie, you probably don't want to use titles like "Chamber of Secrets").
Things like "Rebellion" and "Pangea" are common enough words, and not trademarked/copyrighted (though you may want to make extra effort to differentiate your Rebellion from that of the Star Wars universe), so you're fine using those. As for "Dark Forest", you may want to add a few more adjectives/nouns to differentiate it from every other dark forest found in fantasy stories: ie, the Dark Forest of [name of bad guy], Dark Forest of [type of death/monster], [name of someone]'s Dark Forest, etc.

Literally my thoughts every time I sit down to write...

For me, it's all the time. My characters never get a break and my readers are always readying themselves for someone to die. I'm terrible. XD
SHINE wrote: "I’m just as bad. Death scenes, horrible flashbacks with tragics, things going wrong, haunted things, and a whole lot other things in a clean way."Totally same! I'll have to read some of your works someday ;)
SHINE wrote: "I’ve been thinking about posting some on my personal writing group. Like Nicki and Jes has their own."Do it!

SHINE wrote: "At first, I was going to have long series, but short series are fine."I totally agree! Just go with whatever works.
SHINE wrote: "My poor characters. Their flashbacks are so tragic in the chapters with PLOT TWISTS."Again, literally me! Perhaps we should all write a novel of pure misery someday XD
Seriously, I'm working on a really dark novel, with loads of death, and lots of pain. But let's not forget my poor character can't seem to escape it. So I'm crying at every scene. Because. It's. So. Bad.
It can be sorta fun because your creating something extremely deep and painful, but I don't find the backstory's all that enjoyable. Their literally pieces of real people's life.
Hmm, dark stories? All of my stories have some depth of darkness to them, but I like to handle them with light. Things like pain and suffering and hate and stuff. Characters die in pretty much every book I've ever written and probably will write. I have one particular story that deals with blood. :P xD Aren't we all just feeling so pleasant today
My readers have learned to expect the worst and that happily ever afters are going to rarely be happy. But, I mean, I can't blame them. I have a reputation for killing off favorites... *guilty smile*
SHINE wrote: "I just wish my Story Dreams would OBEY me. It would make writing a lot easier."Stories rarely choose to listen. XD It's one of a writer's chief struggles.
I literally deal with run away plots all. The. Time.
You really have a problem with Marvel Excession. O.O

As in to much of one thing. An overload. Deep amounts.
SHINE wrote: "Lets see how more intense I can make my story scenes..."Intense is always good.
SHINE wrote: "My Story Dreams and ideas have turned to the Dark Side of writing! My poor characters!"Indeed! The things characters go through...
SHINE wrote: "Yeah, but that's how the writing goes and our characters have to put up with it."Very true XD
SHINE wrote: "I'm finally getting back to my writing route! Along with more Story Dreams involving some Madness and a few new characters!"Yeah!
SHINE wrote: "Right now I'm writing my Story Dreams and some Marvel Dreams (easy to change with some challenges) into my notebook and I'm already seeing some problems my precious characters are facing! *sinister..."No!

Goof. You should do that.
XD dreams can be so good for writing inspiration am I right? XPI’m great Shine! How about you?
SHINE wrote: "GREAT! JUST GREAT! My mind now wants me to write yet another story when I'm already trying to finish my other projects!"
Well, make sure you write it down before you forget anyway.
SHINE wrote: "My downsizing on my writings are almost done and once it's done, I'm back to updating my characters lists again, including the ones I've posted on GR groups (I think this one and 2 of my groups). I..."Excellent.
SHINE wrote: "Rough Ideas for series and I’m not sure where I’m going with these ideas! I just want them done, so my online GR author friends and GR writer friends could read them someday! BOOKS:

SHINE wrote: "Thanks! Though now my mind wants to write another story. I can’t even get back to writing."
How come?
Hopefully not!! I hate when that happens!
