It’s already been a year since Wander Over Yonder aired its last episode. Here’s some thoughts from when I learned the show wouldn’t be finishing its story.

Might have to click on these to read em’ tho

Orange is the New Black is the most successful show in Netflix’s history and The Handmaid’s Tale is the most successful in Hulu’s. And now Wonder Woman is being hailed as the movie that has “saved” the DC franchise. It’s almost like people are actually interested in seeing more of women’s stories on screen instead of the same tired shows centered around flawed male heroes that the mainstream machine has churned out a million times before.

Some nice studying tips that help me:

1. Read a sentence/topic/concept. If you can’t rephrase it to yourself, write it down. You’ll remember it better.

2. Make flashcards for the words in the middle of the list. Chances are, you remember the words at the beginning and the end of the list.

3. Highlight the important stuff/easy-to-forget-stuff so that when you want to revise quickly, you don’t have to scour through miles and miles of highlighting.

4. Draw diagrams so that you can connect your thoughts, the text, and your ideas to the lesson.

5. Revise everyday a little so that you can get better at the knowledge and build on it!

Hope these help you guys just as much as they have helped me!!

Hello!

My name is Mana, I’m an artist and an animator, I currently draw a long running webcomic, and I really need help.

The short version is: I’m losing the house I’m currently living in and I don’t know where or how I’m going to live come the end of June.This all came about very suddenly, and I’m not financially prepared to handle a situation like this.

I’m really not sure what’s going to happen, and I need all the help I can get.

Here’s how you can help!

1. Commissions! I currently have commissions open with unlimited slots. I offer many different things and one of my main talents is mimicking other art styles including (but not limited to) Final Fantasy, Pokemon, and Dangan Ronpa. I’m willing to do more than what’s listed on my commission page, and if you have something else in mind feel free to ask and we can negotiate a price.

You can find my commission info here!

2. Patreon! I currently run a patreon which primarily focuses on early access to my comic. It includes other rewards as well, including art rewards and access to exclusive streams.

You can find my patreon here!

3. Ko-fi! This is a relatively new service which provides a means to support content creators through donations. Donations of any amount are always extremely helpful and appreciated!

You can find my Ko-Fi here!

I also have a direct paypal donation link if that’s what you prefer.

4. Signal boosting! I understand very well not everyone can afford to help financially, and that’s ok! Spreading the word also helps me immensely, and any help I can get means the world to me.

Thank you so much for all the help and support…!!

Humans are all different. We all have different stories, families, friends…

You have your own problems. They all are differents too, depending on which life you have. It’s not because you are rejected by society that you will die all alone. It’s not because you are complaining that you are bothering.

Every single one of us have at least one person, one being that is okay with supporting you.

Hurting yourself is not the solution.

I KNOW, “it’s not that simple”, “noboly likes / will like me anyway”, “i’m too weak”. I know ALL. OF. THAT. I know the pain, the struggle, the feelings your heart is bearing with.

It’s understandable that we want to look like others sometimes, because that’s how we are “accepted”.

It’s normal to feel unloved when your own family hate your guts.

But hey.

Hey hey hey, you there.

Weak or not, different or not, you deserve to be happy, you deserve to smile, you deserve to laugh, just like everyone else. And I can assure you one day, YES, you WILL feel the incredible sensation of loving and being loved, you WILL know what it’s like to be surrounded by a happy family, and you WILL go pass the hardest of times. Because me, even without knowing you, even without not understanding you, I KNOW, and I KNOW PERFECTLY, I am 100% SURE that you WILL be okay.

.. I promise.

How to Plot A Complex Novel in One Day (It WILL take all day)

Now first, I have to say, that the plot you’re able to come up with in one day is not going to be without its flaws, but coming up with it all at once, the entire story unfolds right in front of you and makes you want to keep going with it. So, where to begin? 

What is your premise and basic plot? Pick your plot. I recommend just pulling one from this list. No plots are “original” so making yours interesting and complicated will easily distract from that fact, that and interesting characters. Characters will be something for you to work on another day, because this is plotting day. You’ll want the main plot to be fairly straight forward, because a confusing main plot will doom you if you want subplots. 

Decide who the characters will be. They don’t have to have names at this point. You don’t even need to know who they are other than why they have to be in the story. The more characters there are the more complicated the plot will be. If you intend to have more than one subplot, then you’ll want more characters. Multiple interconnected subplots will give the illusion that the story is very complicated and will give the reader a lot of different things to look at at all times. It also gives you the chance to develop many side characters. The plot I worked out yesterday had 13 characters, all were necessary. Decide their “roles” don’t bother with much else. This seems shallow, but this is plot. Plot is shallow. 

Now, decide what drives each character. Why specifically are they in this story? You can make this up. You don’t even know these characters yet. Just so long as everyone has their own motivations, you’re in the clear. 

What aren’t these characters giving away right off the bat? Give them a secret! It doesn’t have to be something that they are actively lying about or trying to hide, just find something that perhaps ties them into the plot or subplot. This is a moment to dig into subplot. This does not need to be at all connected to their drive to be present in the story.  Decide who is in love with who, what did this person do in the 70’s that’s coming back to bite them today, and what continues to haunt what-his-face to this very day. This is where you start to see the characters take shape. Don’t worry much about who they are or what they look like, just focus on what they’re doing to the story. 

What is going to change these characters? Now this will take some thinking. Everyone wants at least a few of the characters to come out changed by the end of the story, so think, how will they be different as a result of the plot/subplot? It might not be plot that changes them, but if you have a lot of characters, a few changes that are worked into the bones of the plot might help you.

Now list out the major events of the novel with subplot in chronological order. This will be your timeline. Especially list the historical things that you want to exist in backstory. List everything you can think of. Think about where the story is going. At this point, you likely haven’t focused too much on the main plot, yeah, it’s there, but now really focus on the rising actions, how this main plot builds its conflict, then the climactic moment. Make sure you get all of that in there. This might take a few hours. 

Decide where to start writing. This part will take a LOT of thinking. It’s hard! But now that you’ve got the timeline, pick an interesting point to begin at. Something with action. Something relevant. Preferably not at the beginning of your timeline - you want to have huge reveals later on where these important things that happened prior are exposed. This is the point where you think about what information should come out when. This will be a revision of your last list, except instead of being chronological, it exists to build tension. 

Once you’ve gotten the second list done, you’ve got a plot. Does it need work? Probably. But with that said, at this point you probably have no idea who half your characters are. Save that for tomorrow, that too will be a lot of work. 

After you’ve plotted the loose structure of your novel from this, see my next post to work on character!
