there is a thing to remember though, dont make it too god, so that if it does become famous, the movie can be built on. harry potter is famous for starting out abstract, and even at the end when the details fit together your still left with little holes that you dont notice till the movie comes out, you know, subtle.

but thats just me, do what you like, just thought i could help.

@trandomphatguy Thank you. I finished the first draft of this novel a long time ago. I think I will make a graphic novel out of after I am finished with my End of All graphic novel.

wow, these are great videos, way better than any other video I've seen on youtube.

I want to give my main character a fear of spiders (because I have a fear of spiders too), but I don't know how to confront her with it. do you have an idea?

[architectus777]

It's hard to say without knowing what type of story it is, but there are several ways to have a character face their fear of spiders.

But if it doesn't play into the story, then the MC need not overcome that fear.

For example if it is a fantasy, then you could have her face off with a spider woman enemy. half spider, half woman.

@schlubbelybub Hey, thanks for the comment. Glad you're liking it.

[architectus777]

it would be difficult to pull off in a short story.

@darealdjnutz did you recently watch Spiderman? xD

[darealdjnutz]

@schlubbelybub You should have the spider bite her, then the bite gives her super powers. Just a thought.
