I remember that one, vaguely. What’s the plot?

Well, I guess I always knew more about Marie Antoinette, I knew that she died and though she did do horrible things, she didn’t have a nice life, and I feel it was mostly through other people’s greediness that she became a “villain”. I don’t even remember being aware that Anastasia…[Read more]

@seekjustice

It’s always helpful to be alive

Wow.

Okay, I’m working on a short story set in the 50s.  I’ve had it going for a while, but a few weeks ago I lost about a thousand words and got discouraged.  I was listening to some 50s music on Saturday and was reminded of it, so I decided to try again.  So far it’s going pretty well… 🙂

I re…[Read more]

@rochellaine Oh, I didn’t know the profiles could tell you that! I have been on the forums a couple of times in the past week, just so I didn’t miss out on too much, but no, I hadn’t really been active. I’m glad I wasn’t dead, it’s always helpful to be alive 😀

I’m also glad to be back! I missed the whole lovely community here!

Okay, cool :D…[Read more]

@seekjustice When I’d missed you for several days I checked your profile, which said you’d been signed in recently, so then I knew you weren’t dead… 😀

But you still hadn’t posted in a week, which was why I messaged you.  Glad you’re back!

I’ll be here for a little while – not sure quite how long – and I’ll probably be around again in about…[Read more]

@rochellaine *squeals in return* It’s been crazy lately, but I am back!! I’m hoping to finish my second draft edits before the end of March, so I actually need to put some effort in! And yes I’m here for now, not sure how long I’ll be here, but I’ll definitely be on again in three(ish) hours.

@jenwriter17 I’ve missed you as well! I’ll see, I’m…[Read more]

Oh @seekjustice *squeals* you’re back!  I missed you!

But wait…you posted nearly an hour ago.  Are you still here?

helloooo! I have returned to the realm of Pen. I’ll be editing in about ten minutes if anyone wishes to join me *brandishes red pen and shouts a war cry*

ooh, let’s tag some peoples. @dekreel @rochellaine @winter-rose @jenwriter17 @dragon-snapper

@Jenwriter17 I like Han, but if 70 year old Harrison Ford played young Han I would be happier. XD

Okay so maybe this new actor dude won’t be too bad? I don’t know. I’m just reserving judgement until I see the actual movie.

As for Rey and Kylo…no offense to anyone, but I absolutely don’t like them together. 😉

@Jenwriter17 as Elizabeth said, the plot points of writing a movie script is the same as a fiction novel. And as Rochellaine said there’s a lot of different people who take part in the storytelling.

My #1 tip: imagine every single word you write as happening in a movie. If you can see it perfectly in the movie style, then write down the small…[Read more]

@dekreel I don’t have anything to add to the many wonderful things said here already, but I’ll just let you know that I struggle with the same thing (doesn’t everyone at some point?) and I’m praying for you!

@jenwriter17  Totally get it!  🙂

@jenwriter17 I also have no experience in writing for film. 🙁  I have a little (very little) experience with stage plays, and my mom is really good at that, but as for movies – well, that’s quite different.

But as I was thinking I remembered something I had once heard/thought about the difference between books and movies.

A book is written…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  @notawriter  @ariella-newheart @dekreel

I have a character that desperately needs a face.  😉

Her name is Keegan and she is 15 years old.  She has thick dark hair (brown, but almost black) that hangs past the middle of her back.  Her eyes are icy blue and she probably has a smirk or a bossy smile.  Personality: independent, easil…[Read more]

*puts hands on hips*  This topic has been deserted long enough.  I shall put an end to this monstrosity!  Voila.  😉

Introducing my superhero/fiction novella that is currently untitled because I seriously started it about 3 weeks ago.  🙂 🙂

@dekreel It’s so hard to feel like that, sometimes. You pick up your pen, and you want to create things. And then the monsters  come back, your doubts and fears, telling you that you aren’t good enough. That there’s no hope.

And suddenly, you’re paralyzed by fear. Comparing yourself to other writers can be amazingly painful. Know that God is…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  Unfortunately, I am not a movie writer either.  But I’m sure one of the lovely people you tagged can be of some assistance.  🙂

@jenwriter17  Awww…thanks!  🙂 🙂

@jenwriter17 😀 It was really. Epic.

Kylo and Rey shipping? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Okay though

Yeah, I was not one of the shippers. Apparently several others who saw the movie thought that it would be a good idea for them to get into the same spaceship… thus the word ‘shipping’

I mean they are both force users and it kinda makes sense and they…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong Yes, I once wrote a scene where my MC was taught to use a sword. There are of course many different approaches to teaching someone sword fighting, mainly depending on how much time is available. Generally, you’re taught footwork first, then sword drills are added on. A sword drill is a single maneuver practiced over and over.
