If I do it correctly, the midpoint should be where ALW & rival really connect and become friends instead of enemies. Rival will reveal truths about her past & ALW will come to understand her better

I don’t know how this will play out, though

#PlotTober - a WIP plotting game by @gunsmile.bsky.social 15. The midpoint of the story serves two purposes: (1) it reveals critical information to the MC and (2) causes the MC to confront both who they used to be and who they need to become to grow, change, and/or achieve their goals.

Here's a question: what are some big horror movies featuring dogs?

Good Boy is coming to Shudder soon and I plan to review. In fact there's already a film called Good Boy on it, so there will be a Good-Boy-off!

Other than Cujo, other major horror dogs? I'm developing a theory...

I am saying goodbye to my character in the next few weeks. We saved her daughter, reunited with her love, and finally made it home. These next sessions are going to be Siobhan's farewell. Here is the art I've gotten after 3 years of playing her.

Since Im unsure on the pacing of this thing, I dont know, really.
I think either the encounter with the stranded Pied Piper that causes a fight between our two heros, OR, coming to a new understanding of the situation on the Doubtless and the villain's real goals, might be it.

Wren is snooping around Spencer's bedroom.

From my romantasy wip about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Wrencer
The bed drew Wren’s eye, pulling her gaze to the massive four-poster with its brocade drapes and decadent mattress. It was not a bed meant for one person. Of course, the way Spencer sprawled about, he probably managed to take up the whole thing by himself. She could almost see him, long limbs akimbo amid tangled sheets, his hair a dark spill across the white pillow– “So, the desk then,” Wren announced to the room at large, interrupting her errant thoughts. She approached the haphazard heaps with the same care she used in excavating the delicate ruins of Tyr N’Varth, cautiously cataloging with an aim to leave no trace of her passage. Receipts for goods delivered, stubs for stipends, and correspondence from the Gray Lady’s cathedral in Chaimberlay comprised the bulk of the piles. A half-written sermon occupied the clear space in the desk's center, peppered with cross-outs and annotations scrawled between the lines. A small bundle held in place by a smooth black rock caught Wren’s eye, a collection of letters penned in a woman’s looping script that smelled of lavender and roses. A moment’s perusal yielded a surprising revelation. Spencer had sisters, it seemed. Gwen, in particular, was fed up with their mum’s insistence that she help in the bookshop every weekend. Evidently, she had exams to study for and her own life to live.

#PlotTober 15. Story midpoint

The story midpoint involves rescuing a hostage from a bunch of government agents out of a busy airport. It's a lot easier when you can't die. Someone trips and their luggage goes flying, handily intercepting a bullet... 😀

But wait. A few bystanders get killed... 😮😬

In Re: Shattered Memories (spoilers ahead), there is a conspiracy theory that the Kingdom of Calavon was infiltrated by a cult worshipping an anti-god. Princess Augsuta believes it.

At the midpoint, Lex learns that the Katorgans require all outsiders who want to join them to forsake all former ties. She also learns that someone isn’t the person she thought she knew. Meanwhile, Daemrin learns how much of the Trial of Succession is stacked against him. #PlotTober

#PlotTober Day 15: The midpoint

I think the midpoint of Josh's story will come at a real low point for him, both personally and in his mission.

The PI that altJosh hired has been getting closer to him, and the woman he has been falling for is getting suspicious about his unusual behavior. 🧵

October 15th – care

Today we are in Anthropomorphic, my urban fantasy.

Ray is making some discreet inquiries about a dead man found in his hotel room.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
“Somebody died in there, Becky. You act like you don’t even care.” Becky squirmed. She really didn’t seem to care much. “We don’t have time for this, Alice. If people get back from dinner before we finish…” “Can you do 304 for me, please?” Alice grabbed her hand, eyes imploring. “I have my own rooms to finish.” Becky glanced at the nearest door, then looked at the towels in her hands. She was looking for a way out of this conversation. This was probably a good moment for me to jump in. I turned the corner and approached them. “Somebody died here?” I tried to keep my tone light. Idle curiosity, nothing more. Alice looked up, pleased that there was someone other than Becky for her to talk to. She was probably hoping that I would be sympathetic. If it got her talking, I would feel however she wanted. Alice nodded tearfully. “I found him. In his room.” “Oh my God, how terrible for you,” I gasped, trying to be appropriately shocked by the revelation. “I can’t imagine what that would be like! To see someone dead like that.” “Don’t you see dead stuff, like, all the time?” Becky looked pointedly at my exterminator’s logo. I was getting the impression that Becky was a bit of a jerk . “Not people!” I lied. “That’s too horrible!”
