Tenzin: would you say you’re independent, Korra?
Korra: *looks at Asami*
Asami: *nods*
Korra: I would say so, yeah
there’s something sooo sickening about how dunmeshis whole energy is like sometimes something terrible and awful happens to you and it changes you forever and nothing can make you the person you were before but there’s still love and there’s still sharing a meal together and there’s still living
Hello Dante, Im a huge fan of your work with Avatar, and im looking into explore a bit more than just the TV shows. Love the way you composed characters, the detail and the message you comunicate throught your work. Im a young guy from Argentina and Im looking to do the same about writing and sending a message out there. Is there any tips about the development of a story that I can get from you? TY very much.
Hello! That’s a great question and too difficult and complex to answer in a short post. And the truth is, I’m still trying to figure out how to write and develop stories myself! But here are a few places you could start:
I wrote a series of posts on my writing blog about premise, outline, and script, using a Korra episode as an example. A few aspiring writers have told me they found these helpful.

There are a ton of writing books/blogs out there. My current recommendations are:

There is also an accompanying podcast that I’ve found very helpful for writing the sequels to Rebel Genius.

Larry Brooks also has a couple books that are great, starting with Story Engineering. His focus on nailing your concept and premise is a great place to start.
Hope that helps and good luck!
National Novel Writing Month
Otherwise known as NaNoWriMo.
What is it?
As some of you know, and others were able to guess, it’s an event that starts every November 1st here in Internet Land where you try to write a 50k novel in a month by setting up a daily word count goal. There’s a website for the event, which you can check out here. You can sign up on the site to participate, but it’s not a requirement.
I am actually participating this year in a sense. I’m going to be using the month to finish the current draft of my novel, but for those of you who are starting one fresh, it may seem like a tall order. So, to help you guys out, I’ve complied some links from this blog and from others in the community. If there’s a post you really like that I missed, let me know. There are likely a ton. These are just some of the ones I had bookmarked.
