      I see. Thank you.

      Then i would suggest imagine you had too, how would it have changed you and can you apply those emotons to your character? What would you have learned in his place and what changes would it have made to your life?

      That would be I think the place to start. When I write a story I know exactly what makes my key characters, I can think like them, I know what they would say base don their history and personality. It makes writing them incredibly easy and natural :) Good little trick if you can pull it off :)
    7. John117xCortana
      I'll try. But to be honest Ben has more guts and has been through more than I ever will. ^_^
    8. Lightning_Count
      You just need some confidence in yourself, things like this if you just play them for real as if you were stood right there, they work so much better :)
    9. John117xCortana
      Ok. Thank you.
    10. Lightning_Count
      Is this the first time you are meeting her? If so you probably want to keep it simple, not be too over the top with a stranger :)

      Nice, simple, to the point :) That's all it ever needs friend :D
    11. John117xCortana
      Hm....how about "You shouldn't be too hard on yourself. You'll do fine. You're Sheryl Nome aren't you ?"
    12. Lightning_Count
      'Good luck' :D

      I don't know either character or their history so its hard to personalise it. You've already written what you want to say, It can't be that hard to just phrase it conversationally :D You must have spoken to people before to offer comfort and support?

      My serious advice, if you can't think of what to write after months then its not meant to be. Abandon the scene and try something different. If you're not getting it in a day or two then I'd try approaching from a new angle. Set the conversation elsewhere, in a different time or place for instance. Might help inspiration
    13. John117xCortana
      I've been trying for months. Can't seem to find the right words. What would you say ?
    14. Lightning_Count
      well it's not like you're doing it for real :D
      Try it, first thing that comes into your head. The scene is in your mind, you know what you want to express, just try it :)
      If you don't try you never find out :D Give it a shot :)
    15. John117xCortana
      Thats the thing. I don't know what to say. I'm not a conversational type...
    16. Lightning_Count
      Could never get into Frontier, I hate how they just break off for random ear bleeding synth pop at regular intervals :p Which is a shame because those Lucifer fighters are supremely good looking, like a cross between my two favourite VFs, the Lightning and SV-51.

      Now Macross Zero, that was epic in the literal sense. They got music right, when you are fighting a massive battle you want a song that sounds like its sung by Satan himself backed by a choir of Angels. I loved that show :D
    17. Lightning_Count
      So your scene, you want to offer words of encouragement and support? Keep it simple, I mean really simple. What would you say, as in you the person sitting there right now reading this if that person was stood next to you and looked unsure.

      Put yourself in that position and don't over think it, go on instinct. What would you say right now if you turned your head and she was stood there looking forlorn and worried.
      Just go with instinct, instinct makes it natural, natural makes it believable, and that will connect with your readership and make the scene relatable. Don't think about it too much or you'll go round in circles, and don't make it too flowery or grand, how would a normal person say it, not Shakespeare :D

      Just put yorself in there. What would you say? That is what you write :)

      Whats wrong with the SB email ?

      Anyway I'm trying to figure out a line for my OC ( Ben ). Something that has to do with 'Affirm her convictions, her beliefs and the strength and the warmth of her heart to keep going '.

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNQfCwnX8t0 at 2.10

      When Sheryl says that she'll do it and that she will do it Ben would come out of the corner where Alto ( the guy with the long blue hair ) came out of and says something that has to do with 'Affirm her convictions, her beliefs and the strength and the warmth of her heart to keep going '

      The security guards then rush towards him intending to get him out but Sheryl calls them off saying that he's a friend. She asks Ben whats he doing here and he merely says he's just here to help a friend keep his promise. He gestures to Alto to come out. Sheryl and Alto make eye contact and then Ben says he'll leave them alone and he walks out of sight.

      No, only the message you posted a few days ago on this page :)

    21. John117xCortana
