Ethryndal

@winter-rose @daeus @kate-flournoy @jess @bluejay @overcomer @ethryndal @aella @anyone-else I’ll be doing more of the fun writing stuff if anyone wants to join me.

(yes, I copy and pasted my previous post) 😛

@winter-rose:

Okay. I’ll try and work on the question-asking-ness. 😛

@hannah-krynicki:

Excellent! 😀 Larger text it is, then…
Yeah, texturing is the hardest part for me. I can do lighting pretty well if I’m concentrating on that.. That’s how I got the metallic look. ^_^

@ethryndal:

Okay… It’s just showing the main characters, but maybe,…[Read more]

@winter-rose @daeus @kate-flournoy @jess @bluejay @overcomer @ethryndal @aella @anyone-else I’ll be doing more of the fun writing stuff if anyone wants to join me.

@ethryndal Yep; I’m totally with you. That’s what tends to frustrate me the most about much of contemporary fiction. There’s a lot of popular novels out there that are entertaining stories, but not much more than that. =P

@kate-flournoy That’s awesome! And yes–that’s definitely a really important aspect of making a strong theme. We’ll be…[Read more]

@ethryndal That, my friend, is the worst. *falls to the floor*

@ethryndal @s-g-dewey Writer’s block, how some people don’t have it remains a mystery to me. Maybe they aren’t like me, a procrastinator, and actually take time to plan out every single scene that is bound to happen. 😛

I pronounce it as Thay-o-den as well, but I saw LOTR before I read it, so that really was never a problem for me. And now I’m…[Read more]

@ethryndal @winter-rose Gah! I feel like I’ve heard it too, but I can’t quite place it. … Is there something along the lines of a hint you could give us? 😉

@ethryndal , I hate receiving spoilers, so I promise I won’t spill anything. 🙂 I pronounce it Thay-o-den. How about you?

@Sarah-h , I actually have an Edwin in another book I’m in the middle of, that takes place in the 1200’s! 🙂 So, I like it too.

@dragon-snapper , I’m glad you are getting over yours. Now you can pass the torch (or the pen ;)…[Read more]

@ethryndal , Yes! I have read (and own) Wingfeather Saga! One of the best series!

@kate-flournoy , Douglas is really good. I guess I’m going to decide a little more on some parts of his character before I finalize, but I really like Douglas!

@ethryndal , Unfortunately, I have been cursed with changing a character’s name… from Steve to Alfred… yeah. Terrible idea, but I much prefer Alfred. It fits much better. I totally…[Read more]

Oops @Ethryndal *ducks head* But I thought it was good she even had an idea, considering she’d had writer’s block for a long time?

And that’s true what you said about forcing names. I’ve never done that, but I’ve had to change names before, and let me tell you it was not fun. I referred to her as Lily for months after I changed it, just cuz it…[Read more]

@ethryndal C-3P0 from Star Wars
Okay, here’s one. 😀
“We’ll barbeque together! We’ll point at things together! We’ll team-build together! We’ll wear suits together!”

I almost forgot to sign off! I’m done, @ethryndal, @winter-rose, @dragon-snapper . I did a little story planning and research. 🙂

@northerner @winter-rose @bluejay @ethryndal @perfectfifths @jess @daeus @kate-flournoy @overcomer
I’m going to be doing some more brainstorming/worldbuilding/allthethings if anyone wants to join me.

@ethryndal Awesome; those are great goals to have! Explaining how all story aspects can tie into a story’s theme was one of the goals I had in making the course, so it should definitely help you learn how to do that.

@ethryndal Glad to have you on board. 😀 Essentially what we’ll be doing for the final version is going through the course and updating all the lessons with the polished videos. So you will have full access to the polished version once it’s completed.
