@jess-penrose It could… Drawing from your first answer, what about adjusting the focusing question to something like, “When can you lose your right to freedom?” and tweaking the alternate answers slightly. Approaching it from that angle doesn’t make the right answer seem quite as obvious (since you have criminals who break the law and…[Read more]

@rochellaine Wow. That is amazing. The level of dedication it took to find all those screenshots is honestly impressive.

@jess-penrose Hmm… I like the idea, but my concern is that the message is too obvious. When I first read the focusing question, the answer of “everyone” is the first answer that sprung to my mind, and generally speaking you want to avoid focusing questions that have obvious answers. I think there’s the potential with some alternate answers,…[Read more]

@rochellaine Wow. So true. We’re actually going to do that again in the next video. xD
You all mind if I share some of these on my social media? @dekreel @epicaddie2 @daughter-of-the-king

Wow; this is amazing. I want to install a “like” button on the forum just so I can “like” all these images. xD But the “I can’t believe someone bought a KaPeeFer shirt,” the “you know when someone’s lying to you,” and the “spoiler” memes are so good in addition to that “when someone reads your old book” one (and pretty much all the others). That…[Read more]

Jane Maree replied to the topic Questions about writing a short story in the forum Plotting 8 years, 2 months ago
@livgiordano As the others have said, basically you have to change the full character arc into a tiny little three-scene structure. That condenses it down to a small space, but still has the general idea. For example:
– Goldilocks wants eats the porridge because she doesn’t think taking someone else’s stuff is bad
– The bears come back and chase…[Read more] -

You know you’re a bookworm when new bookshelves is the bestest thing ever and you spend hours and hours trying to work out how to rearrange the books. xP

@gh24682468999 Aww, thank you SO much for the sweet compliments! I always love my writing projects, but feel pretty shy about sharing them, because, as I’m sure you can understand, I feel pretty sure they’re probably not really all that great. So… your comments were more than a little encouraging! No worries about the long post. I really…[Read more]

@SeekJustice I agree with Emma, and recommend reading LotR first. As the Silmarillion is, basically, a history of Middle-Earth, not really a novel, I think having the other stories first and foremost in your mind would make it a bit easier to digest.

@seekjustice I’m not sure it matters so much. Maybe read the Silmarillion first, but I wouldn’t say it’s super important.

Daeus replied to the topic Book Recommendations in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@dekreel I think the two worst books I’ve ever read were The Secret Garden and Starship Troopers. The main problem with both of them was that literally NOTHING with a quadruple capital N happened. Not to mention that they’re both very off philosophically.
I also put a book down 3/4 of the way through recently, which I almost never do. It was…[Read more]

@rochellaine @gh24682468999@seekjustice @alia @dekreel Don’t feel like you have to or anything, but if any of you guys were wanting to proof my script, I’d appreciate if you could get it done this week, or early next week… Thanks for the tips @gh24682468999 🙂
