So everyday I’m always trying to improve my craft, become a better writer. Everyday I get more passionate about it and I get more excited to show yall the true extent of my abilities once we start getting back into Cornflakes now that I’m taking the show seriously.
Anyways here in this group I will be sharing my thoughts, opinions and give writing tips and examples.
The posting in this group by me wont exactly be methodical but they’ll all at least relate to making your story better somehow.
If you ever decide that you have writing questions or anything you’d like to ask, just comment it under any of my posts in this group and I’ll make my own post replying to your question with a detailed explanation.I must warn that my critiques will not be light, I wont be mean about it but I will let you know if something just sucks. I wont be a ass ab it though, rest assured.
I think thats everything. Thank youuu

An EXCEPTION from asking for writing help is when you give me a bunch of lore ab every character from your series, all plot details and ask me to critique it or revitalize it.
I’ll gladly give critiques for a character or story idea, or just point out things you’d need to think of. But I will not basically rewrite a story for you or read 100 pages of stuff.
You need to be confident in your own craft and be able to make it yourself. Its good to be applying the critiques/tips to your story generally but every story is different, with different goals.
Only you truly knows what your story is as a director/creator and what it needs. You’re a doctor, and I’m the nurse. I’ll give you tips but its all up to you in the end.
Although not exactly making this comment as writing help, ill add my grain of sand to the post (and because well, where else would i post this?)
At what point do you consider a “good” character who commits “bad” actions, to turn into an insufferable antagonist?
In other words, what’s the line that you consider a character HAS to cross to go from a likable character with questionable morals, to an unlikable jerk?
I’ll give a detailed post later as I already jsut made one ab sumthin else so I’ll just out my 2 cents in real short and sweet.
Any good character can become bad when they start thinking the ends justifies the means.
This don’t just mean killing, or hurting. But it can be forgetting for friends emotions, treating them like coworkers more than friends. Getting angry at them for not following order more and more gradually.
But if youre looking for specifically an antagonist, just go more down that pipeline or whatever pipeline your character is on.
Making a character a good character into a antagonist is hard and it just depends on the type of one you want.
An antagonist will usually ignore their opponents feelings on a subject in favor for their goals.
But there is no definitive line, saying there is a specific line that HAS to be crossed is like saying theres only certain formulas a movie HAS to take.
Nothing HAS to be anything, it just has to make sense and follow basic movie structure.
Exposition – Rising Action – Climax – Falling Action – and Resolution.
Exposition: Group of friends on a goal to solve something. There is a leader friend.
Rising Action: Leader and group bond over journey and gets invested, leader takes more charge, showing why their leading. Leader gets more like a corporal.
Climax: Leader is entirely focused on the McGuffin or whatever and forgets ab his friends. At this point the leader can be redeemed, a antagonist or a villain.
Redeemed route is he realizes he was wrong and includes his friends again.
Antagonist would continue to try to get the McGuffin, even risking his friends being hurt, maybe still careful tho.
And a villian would only be focused on the McGuffin. A good villain will still take some concern ab his “friends” bc they were in fact that in the beginning, but they completely betray them.
Or maybe its better that your villian is outright evil, just depends on your story.
I mean, i was refering to the post as more of a “when does a good guy stop feeling like a good guy”, and not like a “how to turn a good guy into a bad guy.”
I probably should’ve specified it in the other post, but like.
Im thinking, character that’s supposed to be good main guy, but constantly keeps being rude, mistreating people, and overall just being a jerk, but is still expected to be considered “good” by the audience, the creator going “you HAVE to see him as a good guy no matter what.”
But other than that, yes this is very good information, no doubt you’re a great writer.
