@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.

@sleepwalkingmk You’re welcome! If we weren’t trying to constantly outdo ourselves, us Jedi masters may be out of a job pretty quickly. 😉

@northerner Absolutely. Just to clarify, you are talking about building an audience for your books, right? I thought possibly you might be asking about branding — like presenting a consistent impression of yourself in everything you do, which is kinda related, but much more of a specific topic.

@northerner Absolutely. You can submit your questions here: https://kingdompen.org/forums/topic/panel-questions/ You should be able to use the same link for the event to access the recording later.

@kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @anyone-else Ok, here’s with all silver and here’s with a gold title. I’m feeling like I liked it better with the silver title and gold subtitle, but I don’t think that was quite right either. Thoughts?

@sleepwalkingmk Yes, there will be a recording.

Thanks @mark-kamibaya @jess @winter-rose I have read Katie’s article, by the way. That’s what made me decide to study this further.

So, I guess I should provide some further information. This trilogy will be pretty LOTResque. I mean, it’s epic fantasy with a lot of travel and a basically comparable story goal. Actually, I know LOTR was originally…[Read more]

@sarah-h Um, about whenever my mom finishes her second edit + a week or two. 😉

@dragon-snapper Great goal! Like Daeus said, we’ll definitely be answering that and unpacking how to approach a theme from several different angles by using the power of story.

@audrey-caylin That’s great! Writing about things you’ve experienced can create the most powerful themes in storytelling, so that’s a great place to start, and I’ll be talking some in the next video about that aspect of theme development.

@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.

I’ll be writing for about an hour if anyone’s interested.

@ethryndal So, Josiah will have the official answer on this, but I can’t see how it could possibly be any other way unless we deleted your account (which would be against our lifetime access policy)

@dragon-snapper Ah, I get ya. Yep, that’s exactly what this course should teach you.

@dragon-snapper Let me just clarify: Are you saying that whenever you tried to share a message in your story, it either seemed too simple and therefore cheesy or too pushy and therefore cheesy? Or am I misunderstanding?

@zoe-wingfeather thanks for the info. 🙂 Looks like she does some pretty cool stuff.

@Aratrea well… I like poetry. *grins*

@kate-flournoy Hmm… a vague poetical answer. We’ll see if we can deliver on your poetical desires. 😉

@audrey-caylin Awesome! Those sound like great goals to have. Definitely keep those in mind going through the course, and at the end I’ll be asking how much the course helped you to achieve those goals.
