@emma-flournoy The ending was probably the worst part for me. Eugene’s positive change was very unconvincing and cliche. I don’t know if there were any redeeming qualities, except perhaps when Headstone and Eugene have that midnight walk thing.

@emma-flournoy Eh, it was decent. I never really liked either Eugene or Headstone though.

@kate-flournoy Sure, I don’t think I have anything tomorrow.

@overcomer It’s a nice poem. I did feel that the following lines were a bit bumpy, but otherwise thumbs up.

I should have liked to have learned it
But thus their displeasure incurred
And I looked after them feeling absurd

Ooh, I like it too.

I got 69 too, @kate-flournoy.

@northerner

hehe! That was a neat way of them to get my email address. *jots that down*

I got 84 too.

@kate-flournoy Ah, too bad. I should be able to make it tomorrow.

@kate-flournoy I’m back to write now. I’m thinking I’ll go till 9:45 tonight, barring any catastrophes.

@dragon-snapper @jess @winter-rose I’ll be writing for an hour.

Wait! Wait! I actually do have something to say. That is that it is actually ok if you end up disliking one of the lovers, just only if it’s done right. You don’t want to dislike them if they’re actually a decent person, but another technique is to make them an evil or fatally misguided person who would only end up hurting the object of the love…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I characteristically have nothing to add, so I’m going to disguise the fact be rambling. First of all, The Count of Monte Cristo. I’m so glad you brought that up, because I love that book and it’s always good to bring it up. Secondly, the idea of the unpicked one has been fascinating me. I feel like that would make a great premise…[Read more]

Great news! If you missed our panel discussion today, there’s still the replay. There were a ton of great questions asked and answered. Check it out.

@dragon-snapper Absolutely. I’ve written a book with three themes. We hope to cover how to write books with multiple themes near the end of the course. If you are going to have more than one theme though, you will want to have those themes intertwine. Basically, one theme should be based on the others. Like, you could have the two themes of love…[Read more]

@leumeister For version 3.0 with the purple cover, I kinda like the ship blueprint, but overall the previous versions were much better. 1. They were more balanced. 2. They looked more spacey. 3. There was motion. 4. There was a focal point.

@daeus Lucky you. I have so many books on my shelf, just staring at me, waiting. It’s not fiction (though it reads like it) but have you read God’s Smuggler by Brother Andrew? I highly recommend that book. Or Uncle Tom’s Cabin? Debatable historical accuracy aside, it is a fascinating book.

HELP!!! *scrambles with fire extinguisher as he screams and activates all alarms*

I don’t have a book to read. I’ve reserved a book from the library, but I have to actually wait for it. *bites fingernails*

In the meantime, do any of you have any favorite classics? I’d prefer a shorter one so I can finish it by the time my reserve comes in.

Thanks 🙂
