@jenali Great thoughts. I love your example of you and your siblings, because it’s definitely true! The people we spend a lot of time with have the ability to influence us a lot.

@Rachelle those are GORGEOUS and that little mini story is too adorable for words. *hugs herself to keep all the warm fuzzies inside* More pleeeeeeease… Pretty please?

@Aratrea wonderful. 😀 And yes… I love those kinds of characters too. *coughs**glances around**lowers voice* Don’t tell anyone… but… he’s my favorite. *grins*

@jenali Looks like a good basic setup there that you’ll be able to develop after video 6.

Haha, yeah, that’s a tricky issue. We’ll be addressing that more in a couple videos later on in the course–one on writing non-protagonist major characters, and one on weaving multiple themes together into one story. I will say that it normally works best…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Looks good! I like how the reaction sequence for the second scene makes it look like the king’s EiL is going to lead to disaster. Characters that stick to the right course of action despite opposition and seeming-defeat are awesome.

@audrey-caylin Ah–thanks for catching that! It should be fixed now. 🙂

@anna-brie Oh. xD Okay, yeah, I was thinking about The Land of Elyon series by Patrick Carman. So something completely different.

Yes, having multiple main characters definitely complicates things. We’ll be tackling that in a video later in the series–I’m actually scripting that lesson this week! So if you have any specific questions on having…[Read more]

@graciegirl @ethryndal I once had an extended google session on how long it takes to actually strangle someone (apparently it takes a full three minutes =P), what the proper techniques of strangulation are, and how long someone would be able to hear you if you were taunting them while strangling them…

…so yeah. Google may not trust me anymore. =P

@graciegirl Fiction writing is a great justification for making rather odd purchases. 😉

@winter-rose
Nothing to critique. Brilliantly written and engaging! The ending is very satisfying. Nice work! 🙂

@Aratrea Oh, another question I’ve been wondering about. The disillusionment arc. No one seems to cover it fully. Even in the Character Arc book, it wasn’t as fully explained as some of the others. It would be very helpful to hear a point by point progression of a disillusionment arc with the same sort of EiL diagrams you’ve been using for the…[Read more]

Ha! I love the Japenese expression in the last one.

@warrioroftherealm I looked it up in a book I have explaining bodily injuries for writers and such (Body Trauma: A Writer’s Guide to Wounds and Injuries by David Page if you’re interested in looking it up). It said that the shoulder must be replaced into the socket “before the shoulder muscles go into spasm,” since then it will be more difficult…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm Hmm. I’m afraid I wouldn’t know that. You should try Quora.

@jackson-graham Hmm. I’m afraid I wouldn’t know that. You should try Quora.

Hehe! This is great.

@Winter-Rose this is awesome! Great work! *thumbs up* ‘Sparklefied’— love it. *grins*

@Aratrea here I am again, finally. 😛

Ooh yes, forgot about the reactions. For the first scene, Denholm actually tricked Harold into thinking he was in danger so Harold would go into the swamp (because they’re running away from spies and the swamp is the shortest road and the only one the spies wouldn’t think to take). So Harold comes rushing in…[Read more]
