@anna-brie That looks fantastic. I really like how both themes weave together there. Nice work!

Thanks so much for the suggestions y’all! You guys are the best. We’ll definitely add love interest & sidekick to the docket.

@dragon-snapper This is actually for our Youtube channel, not the Theme Mastery course. 🙂 Our first video here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1B1zNr_X-g&t=3s) introduces what character types are, and we’ve actually…[Read more]

@hope Got it. Those story points make sense then.

With regards to the other question, I do agree that there are additional challenges when you don’t have physical conflicts like that. I think some of that will require a lot more deep-POV where you’re getting into the character’s head and really ferreting our his/her thoughts and where he/she is…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin Got it. Sounds like this is one of those scenes that’s going to be a bit trickier to weave one of your themes into. Foreshadowing can be a great technique, though, so if you use it to foreshadow how her Experiments might fail, that could be a great way of weaving it in.

@graciegirl @winter-rose @dragon-snapper @anyone-else I’m gonna write till 2:30 (EST)

@audrey-caylin Yes. It’s possible for too many character arcs to overcomplicate your story, but if the characters you are considering are main characters, they should be just fine. We’ll be covering this more in lesson 15.

@anne-of-lothlorien I’m afraid not, though I might be able to convince my parents to take us down to the museum for the day… We live two hours away and have lifetime passes.

@perfectfifths Yep.

@i-j-anderson Hehe! I love it! I think you did a great job. My idea of them isn’t quite complete yet and I think they’d be slightly different, but that’s a great representation.

I finally went and did this again. It’s a little incoherent because I still haven’t separated my two main themes. but hopefully it makes some kind of sense. I’m particularity uncertain on the resolution

Characteristic moment: Natalia is ridiculing or flirting with some young men. Refuses to see any of the as marriage prospects.

@Daeus *grins* Thanks…

And those sound absolutely adorable. I want one.

@perfectfifths Is outside critique not allowed?

@i-j-anderson (btw, Taren’s also silently intense and sympathetic)

Ok, here goes one for a fantasy race I’m working on inventing.

The name is Teedletiden.

They are two to three feet in height, human like, and tree-dwellers. Culturally, they are traditional and by disposition merry, musical, and artistic. Their chief occupation is an…[Read more]

And I have easily a bazilliondy characters (not exaggerating), so if for whatever reason that doesn’t work, I can offer you more. 😛

@I-J-Anderson … did… did I understand this correctly? You want descriptions of characters so maybe they can inspire you and other ‘stuck’ artists to draw a portrait of them?

This is… I like this. This is unusual. But really cool.

Umkay… let me see. *scratches head* Assuming I’ve understood this correctly… have a character.

@perfectfifths As for emails, you could have either Sarah Spradlin or me act as a middleman to get it out to everybody.

@Northerner all right, I see. Yes, we’re talking fantasy, and as I believe fantasy is only a representation of the reality of truth (to us; in our world) and that it should be a copy of our world in its moral laws and ruling powers (as those are what determine truth) I don’t necessarily like it when a fantasy world is governed by rules/laws whose…[Read more]

@Northerner you seemed to imply that as long as a witch was using her power for good (even if it was the same power a bad witch had) then the magic was good. Perhaps I misunderstood you?
