Hope Ann

@hope Good to know, thanks. I didn’t want to completely mess up the costume 😉

@hope I think I recreated Bruce Wayne.

@alia All the time. Most certain characters have a coherent wardrobe, style wise. But sometimes, especially if they have a very bubbly or diva-like personality, their wardrobe can always be different. I stick to the same color palette most of the time. Blondes tend to wear light blues. Girls with dark hair but colored eyes match their clothes to…[Read more]

@alia How do you mean, like off the character like designing their wardrobe? if so, yeah, I do that sometimes.

@hope Is this Captain Tor dude from a sci-fi or fantasy kind of place?

@hope Ah, I see. Well, don’t expect the wolf 😉 XD

@hope I may want to try either Ethaniel or Captain Tor at some point (don’t have the time just now) 🙂

“carries a spear across his knees” I’m guessing that’s when he’s riding wolves? 😉

@hope As you can see, it has different types, so you get to chose whatever flavor you want.

Reminder everyone that we’re having our panel discussion tonight.

@daeus ? @hope ? @winter-rose ? @dragon-snapper ? @r-j-wordsmith ? @graciegirl ? @bluejay ? (By the way, anyone seen her around lately?) Anyone?

@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]

@hope That looks fantastic! Great work.

@hope Not completely sure what you mean with the mental/physical distinction since, from a thematic perspective, you can weave themes into both sorts of stories in a rather similar way. What parts of these lessons do you think have been more focused on physical conflicts than mental conflicts?

I’m not sure how well story structure works across…[Read more]

@hope That looks great! I really like the expanded depth you have here with both five-step processes. They look good to me. 🙂

@anna-brie Sorry to hear that. :/ Unfortunately, I don’t recall seeing any posts here either…

@hope Yeah, characteristic moments are harder when you’re plotting over a full trilogy. That story actually looks like a flat arc to me with just a really poignant third plot point. To turn it into a disillusionment arc followed by a positive arc, I…[Read more]

@hope
Very interesting ideas! Sounds like the general advice here is that connecting any of my interesting ideas to my theme is the best route, so I’ll definitely look into that. Thank you! =)

@daeus
Okay, interesting. I will look into ways to introduce my theme early on, but I may try to avoid switching to any POV other than my MC… That cou…[Read more]

@daeus
Ah, yes, that makes sense. I was wondering how I’d show the theme since they all forgot everything. XD On that note, another question… This book is written in first person POV present tense (for various reasons), and I’m wondering if it would still work to cut from a third person/omniscient POV scene of the government right into a first…[Read more]

Wow, @hope! Good job with “The Lord of the Rings.” I was going to use that book for my homework and picked “Faith” for the theme, but you penetrated a little deeper than I did. “The Lust for Power” Josiah mentioned I would rate as the third most important theme, and there are definitely lesser themes of Courage, and Friendship, but I’m pretty…[Read more]

@daeus @hope @winter-rose @kate-flournoy @jess @northerner @overcomer @r-j-wordsmith @graciegirl I’m going to be planning again.
