Hello, fellow warriors! I was wondering what y’all’s usernames on the NaNo site were? I’m on both the YWP and the “normal” one… Aella on the YWP and I’m Aella94 on the other :).

I know y’all did NaNo last year and was…[Read more]

@hope That’s a good point. I do have different expectations for a modern as opposed to a classic book. Of course, good writing is always good writing, but each age has its own trends. For Sherlock Holmes, I really wish the villains showed more emotion and incorporation when they were caught and I thought there could have been more emotion,…[Read more]

Here are a few more tags so people see this awesome idea. Come and check it out.

Sorry everybody, I forgot about this this week. So yes, we are on chapters 5 and 6. If I remember correctly, there…[Read more]

Ok, so by now hopefully you’ve read chapters three and four. If so, it’s time to pick them apart.

I’ll start by…[Read more]

Alright everybody, The Sign Of The Four has begun. By now, you should hopefully have read the first two chapters,…[Read more]

@Daeus Sorry I didn’t respond until now. I was at a drama workshop all day. 🙂

I suggested Sign of Four because it was the only Sherlock Holmes novel haven’t read yet. However, if the people who haven’t read Sherlock Holmes think reading Sign of Four would be confusing as it isn’t the first novel in the series, then let’s read A Study in…[Read more]

Hmm, it looks like maybe a few people got busy this week and forgot. Busyness is all cool, but if it’s just plain old forgetting, I’m on a mission to remind. Here goes.

@gretald, @dbhgodreigns, and @hannah-krynicki

His main objective in writing this story seems to be to convince others of whatever points he’s trying to get across in his writing.

I agree that Orwell has some points to get across to the reader. We’ll find out what those points are pretty soon. 🙂

@spradlin Orwell is telling the story for his audience. If he was writing for himself, he would vent his own opinions a lot more- think of Victor Hugo’s dissertations in Les Miz. I also believe that he’s slowly working in an allegory. @daeus You’re right that a person who hadn’t heard of communism before would not recognize it, but I think he’s…[Read more]

@spradlin Those are some great thoughts to chew on. 😉 I think that Orwell is telling the story for his readers, mostly. His main objective in writing this story seems to be to convince others of whatever points he’s trying to get across in his writing. It’s a little to early in the story to tell exactly what points he’s trying to prove. @Daeus…[Read more]

So I was laying down, hoping to rest my eyes for just two minutes, when this idea popped into my head for the name for my street team and I had to get back up and write it down.

Legendaires (a combination of the word Legend and Legionnaires)

Now, what do you think. Honest opinion, everyone. Is it cool, or is it cheesy?

How about a few tags……[Read more]

@dbhgodreigns That might be true, or maybe the rebellion is the key event. In K.M. Weiland’s diagram on the topic, the inciting event starts off the the events of the story, and the key event drags the protagonist(s) into those events. Old Major’s dream might be the inciting event, while the rebellion is the key event that brings in the farm…[Read more]

Everybody got a copy yet? We should try to get started here soon.
