@Aratrea what @Daeus mentioned about the lines of text on the home page being closer together (unless I’m misinterpreting) is called ‘line height’ if that helps in your searching.
Some points that I and my web designer sister picked out: (admittedly a great deal of them were my sister, and she very much enjoyed stalking your website XD)– if…[Read more]

@aratrea Oh, just an outline.

Audrey Caylin replied to the topic Website Feedback in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 4 months ago
@Aratrea it looks great! I love the theme and the designs that you used. The layout is easy to navigate and I enjoyed how personable your pages are. I do agree with @Kate-Flournoy about the menu font size though. Maybe one or two sizes bigger would be better. I’d also title the “bio” page differently, something like “About” or “Meet Josiah” to…[Read more]

@aratrea Nuts. You didn’t call us KaPeeFers. 🙁
Anyways, looks pretty to me. I like your bio. 😛 -
Daeus replied to the topic Website Feedback in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 4 months ago
@Aratrea It looks good. My one thought is that the home page is a little crowded. It’s hard to know what to focus on. If the text below “the chronicles of morshan” were smaller and preferable clumped together in a decorative box thingy, I think it would look cleaner.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Website Feedback in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 4 months ago
@Aratrea I really like it!
First thing I noticed— in your bio you said, when you were describing KP, ‘through proficiency and purpose.’ I thought it was ‘with proficiency and purpose.’
If it’s possible, it might also be better to have your page options in a little bit bigger font. It took me a second and a few confused glances to find them.…[Read more]

Hi guys,
I have a rather enormous announcement/request to make.
For a while now, I’ve been wanting to create my own e-course. I’ve had an idea for it too. I wanted to cover the “show don’t tell” rule. Now, to many people, that would seem like a crazy idea for a course, since…[Read more]

@aratrea Thanks for the invitation, but I fall with @anne-of-lothlorien. 😀 Besides, I don’t think a small phone camera would be able to capture all of my dragon awesomeness…

Hey @aratrea,
I was curious if this coming panel will be available for viewing later like the others? I’m going to be offline till Tuesday camping, and with the new registration element I wasn’t sure if anything else about the panels has changed.-
Yes–you’ll need to register this time around if you want to view the panel afterward, but we’ll be sending it out to all registered attendees after the event. 🙂

Awesome. 🙂 Thanks!

@Aratrea well sign me up after all, I guess. 😛 If my camera decides it wants to work, I shall try my hardest to get a video. No promises, but I’ll try. ;P

@aratrea Awesome! I noticed that each of the answers had elements of truth to them but I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. I must say I’m very relieved. 😀
To the next lesson I go! 😉 -

@aratrea Thanks!
One of my characters lives out #1. Her parents are the most important thing to her, so she shows them this in complete and utter obedience of them, basically becoming a slave to them. How would I phrase this in the answer?
I’ve realized that #3 is a quite wide answer. The person for adventure (previous #2) would be living for…[Read more]

@Aratrea ooh yes!! I’ll definitely do this. *nods* I’ll just wait until I don’t have a cold (because no one wants a video of me with a cold XD), and then I’ll shoot it. *fingerguns*

Gracie replied to the topic Homework for Video 3: Discovering & Deepening Theme in the forum Writing Assignments 7 years, 5 months ago
@Aratrea Ah, yes. I see what you mean. I have an explanation for both of those questions, but…I had a crazy idea this past week that came from a conversation I wrote between my protagonist and her mom. It let me see a few things about her that make me think that I’ve been looking at my theme all wrong.
What do you think of this?Theme:…[Read more]

Really, really want to do this… I do need to be careful about how much time I realistically have, though. :/ What’s your planned schedule for this and when you’d need feedback by?
Ah, I should have mentioned that. My pace with this is going to be a little bit slow. I’ll try to write about a lesson a week. I only have my outline so far and a knowledge of the points I want to cover for each lesson. So this would be a gradual thing. I think honestly it might take me six months to get nailed down, though I might get ambitious…[Read more]
Got ya. I could give you feedback along the lines of #1 and #2 up through September 1st. After that, I may be able to give some sporadic feedback, but that will be completely dictated by my school schedule.
Okay, thanks. 😀 We’ll run with it.
Yes, yes, and yes again. When do I start?
I’m in. Absolutely. When do I start?
Haha. 😀 Great! Well, right now, if you want. This isn’t letting me post my original message, so I’ll try one piece at a time.
And here’s access to the course file. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzI8MlrraNgHekR6TWtEa2RTYW8?usp=sharing

I’ll try to do some lesson outlines this week. Maybe even today.
@kate-flournoy
WOW. You’ve got a lot of categories. 😛 I love it.
Me too! This is awesome.
Ah, time is a tricky thing. Well, I’ll leave it up to you. Does it make sense for you to do this if you’ll only be able to cover the first (and admittedly simplest) part? If so, I’d be glad to have you. If you’re not so sure though, you could potentially be a beta viewer when this part’s done. Or you just ignore this course and have a good life. 😛
@kate-flournoy @that_writer_girl_99 @aratrea Part 1 has outlines for all the lessons if you’d like to go check them out. 🙂 I’m hoping to write out lesson one today.
@sierra-r Have you seen this yet?
Awesome! I’ll look them over today, probably later tonight. @daeus
@Daeus which one is part one…
Part 1 – emotion telling. Right at the top of my outline. There are four lessons listed under it.
Aha, thanks. Found it. 😉
Which lessons make up Part 1? Is there a doc somewhere that categorizes/lists all these lessons?
Here’s the outline https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W87kcWtV1azNc5zA34D9jQ3yNl-wbnGDgYOnxAhrs5k/edit
In parentheses at the top it says (part 1 – emotion telling) The four lessons under that are the ones that have outlines.
