Daeus replied to the topic ARCHIVED – Homework for Video 10: Theme & Scene Structure in the forum Writing Assignments 9 years, 7 months ago
@audrey-caylin That’s a good point. Scenes are a hard thing to grasp. I really don’t think anyone has a perfect definition of them. One helpful place to start is that a scene is similar to a chapter. By that I mean that many chapters are comprised of only one scene. There are however many chapters out there with two or more scenes in them. These…[Read more]

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic ARCHIVED – Homework for Video 10: Theme & Scene Structure in the forum Writing Assignments 9 years, 7 months ago
Okay! I think I finally got some stuff organized here. 😀
1. Harold enters a treacherous swamp to save Denholm, who does not seem to grasp the gravity of the situation.
Mkay, so I finally got Harold’s EIL somewhat figured out.
E.I.L.: that the world is worth being a part of because man, deep down, is basically good. (Note: Harold is a c…[Read more] -
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Love Triangles— what the Classical Authors knew that we don't. in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
That’s awesome @Vanna! Perfect use of foil characters and thematic contrasts. *thumbs up* Sounds like you absolutely nailed a good (skillful rather 😉 ) love triangle.

@r-j-wordsmith
What are you trying to do? Make me cry my eyes out??? *blows nose and wipes away tears*
This is so simple but beautifully written. I did notice some spelling and punctation errors, but other than that, it’s really good. I see now from your post above what the “Condemned” sign means, but maybe you could make that a little clearer.…[Read more] -
Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic Rachelle's "Hello" in the forum Start HERE 9 years, 7 months ago
@rachelle If you can do one hour per day, I think that’s an awesome pace to keep up consistently! A large part of how much time you should spend depends on other activities; if you’re able to spend more time on your writing, that will of course help out a lot, but sometimes it’s difficult to even find even that much time. I have the same goal of…[Read more]

Anna Brie replied to the topic Homework for Video 5: Character Arc in the forum Writing Assignments 9 years, 7 months ago
So I was going to do this on the trickier of two stories, but I got logged out and lost it when I tried to post. So I’ll do the easier one. (Which is the story I have writers block with.)
Beginning: My protagonist needs to marry, she also needs a whole lot of help, but she is disillusioned with the men around. She proceeds to either belittle them…[Read more]

I’d have to say something similar to Hope.
I hear a message, or read something multiple times and it starts to get to me. Or someone’s example encourages me to change. -
Anna Brie replied to the topic Discussion for Video Five: Character Arcs in the forum Discussion Questions 9 years, 7 months ago
I don’t feel that I’ve made any major changes in my life. The biggest one was when I started writing and that was just started by me getting an idea of something to write. Others changes just are from exposure to new ideas and experiences along with the effects of growing up.
Mot that I’m saying I haven’t changed at all, it’s just been slow. I…[Read more]

Each door was painted with a different name in careful golden letters, and each name just as carefully crossed out.

@Aratrea Monday, Feb. 27th at 7-8 pm EST is the only one that’ll work for me. This sounds super exciting and I’d love to do it, but if I’m out-voted don’t worry about leaving me out of the rotation. 😉

Anna Brie replied to the topic Theme Mastery Q&A in the forum Theme Mastery 9 years, 7 months ago
Monday, February 27th is the only day that would work well for us with timezones. The other days are 7 am on Saturday and Sunday morning. I think we could just manage it though.

Hope Ann replied to the topic Theme Mastery Q&A in the forum Theme Mastery 9 years, 7 months ago
Saturday, February 25th would work best for me, though I should be able to be there on the other dates if they get picked. And I should be to lesson 8 by that time. 🙂

@ethryndal Looks good then. Two recommendations. The first would be to make sure that she’s being shown her resolution paradigm that God gives people worth all throughout the character arc even though she won’t accept it till the end, just to make sure it doesn’t come from out of left-field but flows naturally from the story. The second would be…[Read more]
