Also the book in this picture took me about 3 years to finish because I kept reading fiction instead 😂 but it’s finally done now \o/

Anonymous asked:

Hey! This may have been asked before, but I'm thinking about having one of my minor characters betray the group. Any ideas on how I'd be able to make this make sense.

A character who ‘turns’ on his or her friends is tricky to write. Tricky if you do it wrong. How do you do it wrong? By not planning it.

Traitors should be doomed from the start, so to speak. You should figure out why they are going to become traitors far before they do. See, if you don’t know how to make your character sensibly betray the group, that means you probably don’t have a reason for him or her to do so in the first place.

This applies to a lot of questions: if you don’t know how to do something, it could be due to it being forced. Take a step back. What would drive this character to become a traitor, and hurt his comrades? If nothing would do this, or if nothing happened to make the character undergo such a change, then you should understand why it doesn’t make sense.

After you assess, you should either go back and make the necessary changes to the story to accomodate this betrayal, or drop the idea entirely. If there is no prior reasoning or foreshadowing, it may feel forced or strange to the reader.


Good luck.

What are you guys planning for the weekend? I’m hoping to finally finish tidying up my old room so we can start repainting next week. And then maybe in a few months I can finally buy new bookshelves. Going by the current tempo at least 😂

This one kind of jumped into my face when I was looking at the bookshelf in our living room. These are my mum’s German editions of the Lord of the Rings. She’s actually the reason I got into Tolkien in the first place. When I was a kid she read the Hobbit to me and then later she showed me the LotR movies when they came out on VHS/DVD and all was lost. 😂
Is there any book most of your family can agree on?
