Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic Homework for Video 4: Experiment in Living in the forum Writing Assignments 9 years, 3 months ago

I really like how you’re giving your characters multiple competing Experiments in Living to make them complex characters (and good work with those side characters!

I had a lot of distractions, but I managed to edit 394 words, so, hey! Better than nothing.
(@winter-rose I’m editing my time travel story, and I don’t listen to music while a write unfortunately.)

@Anne-of-Lothlorien Yep. XD They’re like ‘everyone do something’ and I’m like… do what?

This is just too funny. All the cliches and the soy ice cream and dragons and raspberries… XD If anyone asks what Kingdom Pen is, we should just send them to this story.

@dragon-snapper I might have been called King Daeus once, but I can’t remember clearly. I know we called Josiah The Wiser a couple times. 😉

@emma-flournoy Ah yes. I had to make Stanton an evil overlord somehow. 😀
@daeus *races ice cream cone to cliche* Hurrah! (I hope you don’t mind being captured. 😀 )
@delightinlife Don’t worry! There are some coconut milk ice creams in my house too. 😀
@mariposa Do dragons count as dinosaurs? -
