@CordialWords Happy birthday 🎂!

[Dailymeow @Dailymeoww1]

In a theater performance of Romeo and Juliet in Russia, at the exact scene where Romeo is dying, Juliet was having an emotional moment by his side.

At that very moment, the theater’s cat entered the stage and went up to Romeo, pulling his hair. Then, looking at Juliete, the cat said: “Don’t be ridiculous, he’s alive, look,” trying to wake Romeo up.

This absurd moment completely broke the atmosphere of the scene. The audience, who had been crying just seconds before, suddenly burst into laughter.

From that point on, the story of Romeo and Juliet turned into something completely different because of the cat…

The cat, Romeo and Juliet became the story.

There is no sadder story in the world than “the cat, Romeo and Juliet” 😂

@FreddyLA7 I've only been to Buccee's once (our closest one is a few hours away and only was put in a few years ago) but it was awesome. Glad you got to discover it.

[Brooke Lorren @Brookelorren]

@CordialWords Yeah me too. We got out a little after 5 this morning and I had to get up at 9 for church, so I've had less than 3 hours of sleep. Gotta get enough sleep to get up for work tonight. But it's Sunday so I get to work with my son.

@CordialWords I haven't read either.

[Brooke Lorren @Brookelorren]

@CordialWords A7: I've never really thought about it, but Cassandra Clare is pretty good with that. It's funny, doesn't head hop, and keeps track of a whole cast of characters.

[Brooke Lorren @Brookelorren]

@CordialWords A6: The big difficulty. They are important; I'm just not very good at including them.

#StoryCrafter

[Brooke Lorren @Brookelorren]

@CordialWords A5: I have one story where I keep from the reader that the main character is a queen, but I wouldn't consider her unreliable. It's just something that never came up because she had been taken out of that world and had been put in another life.

@CordialWords A4: With first person you just need to keep track of what the character knows. I suppose with a third person narrator it depends on what their perspective is.

#StoryCrafter

[Brooke Lorren @Brookelorren]

@CordialWords A3: With first person it's easy. If the character doesn't see it, it doesn't go on the page.

With third person you're either writing an omniscient narrator (not very popular these days) or you need to decide what the narrator knows and can see.

#StoryCrafter

[Brooke Lorren @Brookelorren]

@CordialWords A2: That's the goal. Even a narrator should have a point of view, whether they are one of the participants in the story or an observer. Because no observer is going to be neutral.

#StoryCrafter

[Brooke Lorren @Brookelorren]

@CordialWords A1: For novels, I usually write in first person, although I often write in third person for shorter stories.

The narrator is who they are. It could be the main character, or it could be a different person observing the events.

@CordialWords Nice!

#StoryCrafter

[Brooke Lorren @Brookelorren]

@CordialWords Hello #StoryCrafter! I'm Brooke and this week is going pretty well.

[Brooke Lorren @Brookelorren]

@CordialWords Have a good week! Yeah it's time for me to go to bed until it's time to get up and go to work.

#StoryCrafter

[Brooke Lorren @Brookelorren]

@CordialWords A7: Only the fanfic. I couldn't continue because it was just too bad. And at that point I started writing original fiction anyway.

#StoryCrafter

[Brooke Lorren @Brookelorren]

@CordialWords A6: I've only written a duology. It was meant to be four books but I reread the first two books and they were terrible so I couldn't continue.

[Brooke Lorren @Brookelorren]

@CordialWords

[Brooke Lorren @Brookelorren]

@CordialWords A5: I haven't written one since I did fanfiction although I have plans for one. I've been told that you shouldn't write a sequel until you've gone through edits with the first because some details might get changed during the publishing process.

#StoryCrafter

[Brooke Lorren @Brookelorren]

@CordialWords A4: I guess some you just forget about, especially if there's time between books and it's not finished yet. But sometimes I'll read the first and then decide it's not for me so I stop.
