Hope Ann replied to the topic Homework for Video 9: Theme & Story Structure in the forum Writing Assignments 9 years, 2 months ago
This is for my trilogy again. I’m only plotting the points of the disillusionment arc part of it this time because I’m not quite sure of all the details of how I’m matching the plot with the positive character arc yet. (Do you have a lesson about how to weave themes into a story that involve mental and emotional conflict more than physical…[Read more]

Thanks so much guys! I haven’t abandoned you; my laptop went AWOL for a space there… XD
You glance down at the notebook in your lap only to find it covered in elegant, foreign symbols, and the pencil in your hand glowing with a faint blue light.

Hi Keepers,
I thought I’d better touch base and let you all know that I’m still around but just not able to spend time on Kingdom pen. I’m ashamed to admit that I breached my parents’ trust and that’s going to take some time and effort to…[Read more] -

@Daeus you may wanna check on your minions. I’d hate to see the ‘inept’ stereotype fulfilled in real life… :’D

@Dragon-Snapper yay! *high fives you* Don’t worry I trimmed my claws recently. 😉 I think I’m going to stop now too— 691 words, deducting a ten minute break when @Daeus wasn’t here. Did you finish your chapter, Daeus?

Reposting this… cause I thought I posted it but it isn’t showing up. So of there end up being two of these posts, that is why.
@aratrea Hmm, yes. I think I remember that now. The last video I watched was on matching the character arc with the plot arc so that might have had something to do with it. Anyway, I reworked it. I’m pretty happy with…[Read more]

I’m pretty happy with the disillusionment now, though I’m not quite sure how well the postive arc flows.

@rachelle Hmm, I don’t know. I mean, there are so many angles you can take. 😀 Amnesia is fun. I’d make sure you are showing the sinfulness of the characters before they start regaining their memories, though. It’s not the past/memories that make them sin, it is their heart.
As for the lost memory… let’s see. Random fun things: you could give…[Read more]

@overcomer Thanks. 🙂 Yes, I love so many things about Lord of the Rings, but the theme of hope is one of my favorite things. 🙂

Hope Ann replied to the topic Help me change this in the forum Publishing & Platform 9 years, 2 months ago
@daeus hmm, well, don’t have to use itunes. I just use it because you can go down and change the story really easy and so get links for about a dozen different national stores/sites. I’m not sure how it works it other places or if you could use one Smashwords link for all of them. If you do, let me know how it goes. 🙂

Hope Ann replied to the topic Homework for Videos 6-8: Developing Character Arcs in the forum Writing Assignments 9 years, 2 months ago
This is a disillusionment arc which spans a trilogy. Or rather the first two books and the first quarter (probably) of the last book before shifting into a positive arc.
The MC’s experiment in living is that good will always win and victory over evil here on earth is inevitable so long as one gives their all to the fight. Her experiment in living…[Read more]

@Daeus First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is very exciting. 😀
Second of all, in regards to price matching, it is much quicker if you contact Amazon yourself. I tried alerting them through the thing you mentioned with my first novella and after I few weeks I was advised to contact them directly. It only took them a day or two to fix it after…[Read more]

@northerner *scowls* I’m hardly on here anymore. Sadly… Unless someone tags me, I don’t generally see it. But still… amnesia.
*grins and rubs hands*
@rachelle Not that I have much to add. It does seem like a cool idea. One I’d like to read. 😀

And @rolena-hatfield too
@bluejay I was just thinking about you tonight, and wondering if you had gotten injured or sick. I’m so glad you are okay! 🙂 I’m sorry things aren’t going well. I will be praying for you, and for your family! We really miss you. :'( 🙂
Hey, @bluejay! Glad to see you again, though I’m sorry to hear what’s been going on! I was wondering where you went, especially since I made comments on that story you sent. If you’re still up for all that and want to get in contact with me, I have changed my email, so I’ll have to send it again 🙂
@bluejay, I’m so sorry this has happened for you. I have to say that I can fully empathize and understand where you’re coming from.Please know that I will not judge you, as I have also broken my parents trust on multiple occasions in the past. That was one of the reasons I started spending less time here. As you said, sometimes these things bring…[Read more]
@Bluejay!!! I’ve been thinking of you quite often and wondering what was up; and been praying for you, ’cause I’d no idea why I hadn’t heard from you in so long. I’ll certainly keep praying for you and your family, and I really hope all goes well.
Love you. *hugs*
@Kate-Flournoy Just making sure you saw this.
@bluejay ah, I wondered where you went. I’ll be praying, for sure. And yes, believe me— in the long run, this will strengthen your family. 🙂
@bluejay Miss you bunches and bunches, girl, but I’m glad you gave us this update and were so honest! That take a lot of courage. Praying for y’all and proud of you for making a hard (but ultimately, I’m sure, good) decision!
I miss you a lot already, @bluejay . 🙁 Don’t stay away too long! I’ll pray that you and your family will be able to work things out.
