Jackie Petersen replied to the discussion 'Which perspective do you write from' in the group Novelists (Struggling or Not)
"For shorts and novel writing, I almost always use in third person past tense. Occasionally, I'll use first person past tense, but that's pretty rare and I've found that only certain characters bring it out of me. But…"

"Congrats to everyone who won NaNo this year! Sadly, I didn't win, but that's okay. My blog post for the day sums up my feelings about this whole experience: http://jaclpetersen.com/2011/12/01/the-results-are-in/ I…"

"i have been job hunting for the last two and a half years, and haven't had any luck whatsoever. So, lately I've been focusing more effort into my writing. I still do my usual job-hunting rounds in the morning, but after 11 I am…"
Jackie Petersen replied to the discussion 'Show Me Your Novel and I'll Show You Mine' in the group Novelists (Struggling or Not)
"Thanks for the reply! That's a good point and a great quote. It's sounds similar to something my dad's says, "The last truly original idea was the wheel." Yours is prettier. :)
I think what worries me the…"
Jackie Petersen commented on the group 'NaNoWriMo'
"Well, I was caught up, but I've fallen so far behind in the last few days. I was on a roll for a while there and now I've plateaued. I'm starting to get worried. :("

"Thanks! :)
You just said it perfectly, they're bigger than life. That list was more difficult for me than I thought it would be for that very reason. Those kinds of villains make it impossible to hate them!"

Jackie Petersen commented on the group 'CHARACTERS'

My Top 5...
"My Top 5..." is something I began on my wordpress blog last month and intend to keep up with it regularly. In these posts, I list my top 5 favorite characters of a specific type. I decided to do these because I'm a firm believer that characters are one of, it not the most important aspects of storytelling. I enjoy analyzing successful characters and I encourage readers to post comments, argue for or against my choices, and post their own lists if they desire. Last month I did My Top 5…See More

Jackie Petersen replied to the discussion 'Introductions' in the group Screenwriters & Story Editors

Elaine Simone said… I saw your link to your Batman villains review in the Character's group. Fun stuff. I too think Batman series has some of the more interesting comic heroes and villains since so few of them are super powered, and just people who are bigger than life. Which makes a great study for character development for writing ;)

Meg Waite Clayton said… Jackie, Glad to have you in the novelist group! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. We save the wall for discussion, so please refrain from linking to blog posts there, but do add them in the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread. And we do a live chat every Wednesday (today!) at 1EST; instructions on how to participate are in the "Our Water Cooler Wednesdays" box near the top of the group page. Hope you can join us for that.
